Best Animation TV shows
Every animation series in TV Is Art's catalog, sorted by what audiences engage with most. Each title links to similar shows, full cast, and where to watch.
Animation in 2026 occupies a space where visual abstraction meets complex narrative depth. Creators frequently bridge the gap between irreverent satire and melancholy character study, using the lack of physical constraints to explore concepts that live-action remains hesitant to touch.
This collection gathers a range of tones from the surreal melancholy of BoJack Horseman to the structured, fast-paced comedy of Animaniacs. The selection focuses on the stylistic variety of the medium, highlighting how different drawing techniques directly inform the rhythm of the storytelling and the intensity of the humor.
