Seriously, I know kids like dancing, bright colors, and pop songs but why has at least one animated movie every year since 2004 ended with the characters dancing?

Clips taken from:
The Shrek series and Puss in Boots
Shark Tale
Chicken Little
Madagascar
The Wild
Horton Hears a Who
Ice Age 3, 4, & 5
The Despicable Me series
Megamind
Alpha & Omega
Gnomeo & Juliet
The Hotel Transylvania series
The Nut Job
Norm of the North
Zootopia
The Angry Birds Movie

Also, don't worry, I am NOT saying these movies are as good as each other. Just because they share that one tired cliche doesn't mean they are all bad. In fact, considering the movies themselves have varying degrees of quality, I think that shows how overused this cliche is!

Also, I probably did miss something. I know Home had one and I forgot to put it in.

I also didn't count musicals or Happy Feet, because it's a movie about dancing so it fits to have a dance party. I also didn't include animated movies where they only dance for a second at the end like Toy Story 3 or Wreck-it Ralph
