10 Underrated Animated Movies You Have To See

10. My Life As A Courgette (2016)

Following the death of his troubled mother, Icare - who goes by the nickname Courgette - is sent to an orphanage by a caring police officer called Raymond, and for the first time in his life begins to build a series of genuinely loving relationships.

My Life As A Courgette is an expressive stop-motion masterclass that pits a young boy against a world he doesn't fully understand or feel comfortable in, only to realise that he's not alone in his troubles or fears.

With beautiful character design, impeccable voice work and a strong sense of family and unconditional love, the comedy-drama makes for the perfect slice of family-friendly fun.

It's zany, odd and peculiarly funny, but also challenging, moving and constantly surprising, and considering it barely made half of its budget back at the box office, it's fair to say it's an underappreciated gem that everyone should be falling in love with.
