The stories usually play with fear of the unknown. They might introduce a mystery that the characters have to solve, like in some stories where there is an unexplained phenomenon in a small town. The animation enhances this fear as it can show things in a more vivid and sometimes distorted way. Also, they can use sound effects in the animation very effectively to create a spooky atmosphere, like creaking doors or howling winds.
One difference is in the animation style. Traditional ones often had a more hand - drawn look, like the classic Disney movies. Modern ones can use advanced CGI, like in 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. Another difference is in the themes. Traditional stories might focus more on simple moral lessons, while modern stories can explore more complex social and environmental issues.
One of the most captivating animated stories I've seen is 'Spirited Away'. It has a unique plot filled with magic, mystery, and interesting characters like Chihiro, a young girl who enters a spirit world. The animation is detailed and beautiful, making the story truly come alive.
The 'Polar Express' is highly famous. It has amazing visuals that really capture the magic of Christmas and the journey to the North Pole. 'Santa Claus is Comin' to Town' is also a big name. It has been a staple in Christmas programming for years, showing the origin of Santa. 'Frosty the Snowman' is famous too. Who doesn't love the story of a talking snowman?
Well, 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' is quite heartwarming as it tells the story of Santa Claus' origin in a way that emphasizes his love for children and his mission to bring joy. 'Mickey's Christmas Carol' has a heartwarming touch as well. Mickey Mouse and the other characters bring the Dickens' story to life in a way that makes you feel the Christmas spirit. And 'Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas' is heartwarming because of Buddy's pure love for Christmas and his positive energy throughout the story.

Adults animated stories often deal with more complex themes. For example, they might explore relationships in a more nuanced way, like in 'BoJack Horseman' where it shows the complicated nature of friendships and love. In contrast, children's animated stories usually have simpler themes like good vs. evil.
