The Marvel Cinematic Universe is widely known across the globe for giving some of the highest box office grosses to be ever made with all the heroes practically household names. However, what has been overlooked, are Marvel animated movies. Some of them missed the mark but some definitely hit the target on the head, making them animated movies that MCU fans should definitely check out.
Although the Marvel animated world is not as large as the DCAU, there are still some true hidden gems for fans to discover. With films like The Avengers, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and various Spider-Man series, Marvel has dominated the comic book industry on the big screen since 2008. When it comes to animation, DC has dominated since the 1990s, while Marvel has primarily focused on live-action films and television series. Marvel, however, has created some animated pictures, and while many have not been as popular as DC's, Marvel has also made a number of surprising animated films that equaled their live-action counterparts. Even though Marvel releases more and more merchandise each year, we still can't get enough. Here are a few animated features to help you satisfy your hunger.

I wouldn't call Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse criminally under-loved. In fact, it's very much beloved, actually. One of the best movies 2018 had to offer.

Of all the Marvel Animated features, Ultimate Avengers, Dr. Strange: Sorcerer Supreme, & Iron Man: Rise of Techno Vore are my faves. Especially the latter 2. Ultimate Avengers took liberties from the comic, but showed that Marvel CAN do serious animated series. My fave scenes in Dr. Strange was where we see how much Doc cares for his sister April, and when the Ancient One tells him: “You’re a good surgeon, Stephen. But you’re not a god!” For Iron Man Rise of Techo Vore, the plus sides were seeing that Tony Stark, true to form, had a contingency plan for anything Stane could think of, including Pepper Potts having the backdoor key to thwart Stane’s last gambit. “All I ever wanted was a vacation...” The fight between the Punisher, Black Widow & Hawkeye was also good. Plus Nick Fury & SHIELD are on hand, and Pepper, Natasha & Maria Hill looked great. The Iron Man anime series remains the best as it had Tony in Japan, overseeing Stark Industries Tokyo and meeting new allies like Dr. Tanaka & the reporter Nanami. Episode 4 was particularly good. In fact, the events in the anime can tie in to the opening of Iron Man 2 , where Tony appears at the Stark Expo saying, “Daddy’s back home!”

When was this recorded? Because it was released in December of 2021 - you state at 13:04 that Trevor Slattery's Mandarin is the only one depicted in the MCU - that kind of ignores Shang Chi entirely - not to mention Aldrich Killian's claim to the mantle in IM3. Also - how were there no Marvel Knights Animations in this list? Astonishing X-Men, Iron Man: Extremis, Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D., Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, Black Panther, Wolverine Weapon X? These are some of the finest Marvel Animated features on record...

I'm not going to tire of saying it, but these movies deserve attention. Currently Marvel and DC fans admit that Marvel animated movies are bad, when they haven't seen a single one, and while DC practically innovated in animation, these movies were made by people who really knew the stories they were telling. You can say that Hulk vs is the most commercial movie, since it presents battles between the most popular characters, but it is made by people who really know about those characters and what makes them who they are. If you go behind the scenes, you will see that they are really invested in these films and their characters, and although these are not any masterpieces, they made sure that the films are entertaining.
