15 Romantic Animated Movies for Valentine's Day

Looking for Valentine's Day movies that the whole family can enjoy? Here's a look at 15 romantic animated movies with adorable love stories suitable for all ages:

Whisper of the Heart - Here's one of the best animated movies about young love for Valentine's Day. It's the imaginative story of a girl whose love of reading leads her to on a journey to discover her creative side and her first love.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - This is the earliest romantic animated tale of true love here featuring one of Disney's most beloved princesses.

Up - And here's one of the saddest romantic animated movies for Valentine's Day. The love story here will definitely tug at your heart strings and bring a tear to your eye, but adorable dog Dug will cheer you right back up.

101 Dalmatians - As a little girl, I always loved the way the couple met in this wonderful movie (through their dogs), and there's definitely plenty of Valentine's Day cuteness here in all the adorable puppies.

The Little Mermaid - Another Disney maiden finds true love in one of the animated movies here that shows just how far the heart will go to get what it wants.

Ponyo - And here's another tale about a little mermaid who captures the heart of a boy (just be forewarned: this is one of the Valentine's Day movies here that's definitely best for very young kids; the dialogue is a bit childish for older viewers).

The Princess and the Frog - Teddy bears get too much attention on Valentine's Day, so why not give a little love to our little green friends with one of Disney's newer animated movies that twists a classic fairy tale?

Gnomeo and Juliet - And if you're looking for something to see in the theater with the family for Valentine's Day 2011, you can catch this new animated movie that twists Shakespeare's classic story of true love by replacing the characters with garden gnomes.

Sleeping Beauty - It's another of Disney's best romantic animated movies featuring a beloved princess, but anti-Valentine's Day types might fall in love with one of Disney's best villains, the magnificently malicious Maleficent.

Tarzan - This animated version of everyone's favorite ape man finding love is full of romance, action, and adventure.

Cinderella - Another Disney princess; another romantic animated love story.

The Last Unicorn - This is one of the most unusual romantic animated movies on this list, but that's what makes it worth watching. It's about what happens when the last unicorn finds love, but be forewarned: it's a movie that doesn't end quite as happily ever after as most fairy tales.

Aladdin - Here's another of Disney's animated movies with a princess that girls will adore, but this one is a little bit different since "Prince Charming" is given more of a personality.

Robin Hood - It can be hard to find somewhat romantic animated movies that boys will enjoy, but this swashbuckling tale has enough adventure to make up for the icky parts.

Pocahontas - You definitely don't want to use this movie for a history lesson, but the love story is pretty romantic and worthy of Valentine's Day viewing.

And if you didn't find your favorites among these fifteen, they might be on this list of more family-friendly movies for Valentine's Day, which includes more animated films and a few live-action movies with love stories that the whole family can enjoy.
