Drawn To The Beat; 6 of Our Favorite Animated Music Videos From The Last 25 Years!

When a music video goes animated, logic takes the day off and imagination clocks in overtime. Suddenly, pop stars can bend physics, hop between dimensions, and dance alongside avatars, clay creatures, or pencil-sketch alter egos. Below, we rounded up standout animated music videos with their official embeds!

1. The Weeknd & Ariana Grande, "Save Your Tears (Remix)"
Abel and Ari get cartoon-ified for a moody lab-set adventure where he literally builds her from parts — playful visuals with that signature After Hours noir. Directed by Jack Brown with a fully animated look that fits the remix’s glossy melancholy.

2. Dua Lipa, "Physical"
A high-concept, color-coded dance odyssey that splices in anime-inspired animation and graphic flourishes — '80s-gym energy meets neon pop art, all cut to one of Future Nostalgia’s punchiest beats.

3. Billie Eilish, "my future"
Billie wanders a rainy, hand-painted world that blossoms into warm, luminous nature — soft brushstrokes, gentle motion, and a coming-of-age glow. Animated by Australian artist Andrew Onorato, it’s introspective and quietly stunning.

4. Daft Punk, "One More Time"
Leiji Matsumoto’s anime universe turns the party anthem into a mini space-opera: blue-skinned band, stadium-sized euphoria, and a villain who literally steals the music. It’s pure pop myth-making — bright, fluid, and instantly iconic.

5. Linkin Park, "Breaking the Habit"
A propulsive, manga-influenced whirlwind that follows city drama in razor-sharp, hand-drawn frames. The kinetic edits and ink-wash textures mirror the song’s catharsis, making it one of LP’s most cinematic visuals.

6. Coldplay, "Adventure of a Lifetime"
The band becomes dancing chimps via performance capture, then throws a jungle rave — joyous, bouncy, and surprisingly believable. It’s a showcase for character animation that still lands as a feel-good pop fantasy.
