The lockdown during the time of the coronavirus pandemic can get a little overwhelming (or extremely boring), so if you feel like self-isolation is not agreeing with you, watching an uplifting animated film can provide some relief.
A good way to kill time is to watch some feel-good and lighthearted films. What we watch and consume can affect our moods greatly, so there's no better time than to watch something heartwarming on your screen.
As compiled from Indian Express, here are ten animated films that can help lift your spirit during lockdown.
Ratatouille

Remy loves food and unlike his kind, he respects good food and is an excellent chef. Things take a turn when Remy finds himself separated from his family, but a new adventure in his dream kitchen leads him to follow his passion, despite being a rat. Ratatouille is, of course, a beautiful animated film but it ranks highly for those interested in cooking too.
