10 Best Movies with green characters includes 1. The Hulk 2. Shrek 3. Grinch and 7 others. The work done by makeup artists in these movies is praiseworthy.

Throughout the years, various fictional characters have had the properties mentioned above. However, characters having human-like body structures but different skin tones than usual have become more popular among movie enthusiasts in recent days.

One such types are green characters. Several filming projects have made a green character one of their leads throughout the years and have managed to amass a huge fan base only based on that single character. 

The following are movies that have green characters that steer the story forward:
