This article is about all animated features produced by or released through Paramount Pictures and its predecessors. For a list of features produced by Paramount Animation and its predecessors, see Paramount Animation § Filmography.

This list of animated feature films consists of animated films produced or released by Paramount Pictures.

Paramount releases films from Paramount-owned and non-Paramount owned animation studios. Most films listed below are from Paramount Animation which began as a feature animation department of Paramount in 2015. Paramount has also released animated films by other production companies, such as DreamWorks Animation (which is now owned by Universal Pictures).

Other Studio units have also released films theatrically, primarily Fleischer Studios, Famous Studios and Nickelodeon Movies, and the studio's distribution unit, which acquires film rights from outside animation studios to release films under the Paramount label.
