Ask a God?
Cast Wish and then wish for the ability to animate a colossal object with your next casting of Animate Object?
Any campaign that includes circle magic. Plus there are a few prestige classes and items that could help. Depends on what material is allowed.
Alternately you could animate it in parts then have a control module to make sure everything cooperates. it'd be a bit complex, but not un unreasonable high level NPC project.
The Animate Object spell states that a Colossal object counts as 32 Small objects, which means that it would take a CL of 32 to animate a Colossal object.
What are some ways to be able to reach a CL of 32, for purposes of animating a Colossal object, other than a level 32 character?
Tattooed sorcerer can add +2 eventually for bloodline and one school.
Level 20, Spell Tattoo, Spell Specialization, Spell Perfection and an Ioun Stone can get you to 27.
You could make up a metamagic feat that allows your spell to be 5 levels higher than your actual caster level for that spell. Maybe a +2 or +3 for that.
Then you could get there.
What is "circle magic"?
Also, any material in the d20 PF SRD is allowed, which seems to include a lot of 3rd party stuff as well.
It's a 3.5 thing where other casters could contribute and effectively increase the caster level of a spell to phenominal levels.
I think their might (and I stress might) be a teamwork feat that does something similar. I think it's called Cooperative casting or some such.
Looking around if you still need higher caster level there is the drug AEther, it's a +1 to caster level and for a few hours you need caster level checks dc15+spell level to cast any spell which isn't that bad.
I'd say no, because it's from the same source.
A magician bard could help boost it up as much as +4.

That takes it to 31 with the rest of the feats I mentioned. This and that drug make it possible.
20th level caster
Ioun Stone +1
Varisian Tattoo +1 (+2)
Spell Specialization +2 (+4)
Spell Perfection
AEther +1
17th level Magican Bard Assistant +4
32 caster levels
Well, there you have it. A way in the rules to get there. That's kinda cool.
Love it, Boring. I was coming here to say that, but you added so much more to what I was planning to do with my own wizard and my own ship. Very nice.

Then if you are a cleric, The Karma bead from a Strand of Prayer Beads you can get another +4 to your caster level.
That's 36, or able to be done at level 16 or 17 if your god doesn't let you do drugs.

Sounds like you are playing Skulls & Shackles and you want to animate your ship?
I have the same desire, though at later levels (still only 5th).
Because, according to RAW, Animate Object will never be feasible for a character in the AP, I plan on approaching my DM and working out a role-playing solution.
Such as: go to Port Peril, find high-level wizard(s), ask for spell to be cast on vessel, pay a large amount of gold (which won't come close to the full cost, but will hurt the pocket anyway), and then do favours/quests/a future promise/etc to get the remaining debt paid.
That way you get what you want, an awesome ship, and the DM has more fuel for the game/story.

Colossal animated objects aren't really things you can create with the spell animate object. You create colossal animated objects like you'd create other constructs, with the Craft Construct feat and lots of money. (Pathfinder #43, by the way, has the Construction requirements for animated objects—we didn't have room, alas, to print that information in the Bestiary.)
You could "Death Knell" a small village. You may need a wand to cast it that many times.

This is a great idea and I'm very excited to be a part of it.
Always happy to add a touch of Evil to the mix.
Also, consider making soul gems out of them to offset the cost of the permanency spell.
Next question: Can a moving castle wear rings of protection? Because if I am building a giant castle, it is going to have a force-field. And a ring of invisibility. Because why not?
I imagine there is a large stone hand somewhere deep in the bowels of the castle :p
You'll see you'll all see
Alright here we go
a level 20 cleric uses death knell, Aura to increase spell caster level high enough to cast animate object colossal and because of the RAH rules, https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat/space-reach-threatened-area-t emplates/, I animate the planet then using a spell such as mind swap or magic jar I trade bodies with the planet from there I do something horrible along the lines of casting a spell that surrounds the user or I could just use polymorph any object to change my size to be smaller or I could cast something like metal to wood and curse the entire planet not to have metal. And for those who are taking notes yes I am using the feat still spell for the lack of limbs I have.
I'm not going to do the math there, but I don't think you'd be able to cast Death Knell enough to raise your CL that high.

Death Knell, Aura I kill 12 chickens or commoners
Now all you have to do is find several million chickens and commoners to raise your CL high enough to animate a frickin' planet.

Though there are ways for that, however, it won't be needed because the planet is colossal sized according to the official size chart

If it makes you feel any better I would use him as a big bad

Think bigger my GreatWot friend, become immune to fire damage and touch the sun.
You'd also have to be immune to electricity (the sun is made of plasma, and in Pathfinder plasma deals half fire and half electricity damage) and gravity effects. But yes... that could be done if you were incorporeal. :p
Wow. 11 posts and no one noticed the necro.
With the death-star coven, you can easily go bigger.
An 11th level witch with a coven of 21 other witches can get to 32nd caster level for the casting. Then having hired a 14th level sorcerer or wizard, have them cast permanency. You now have your colossal animated object that lasts until the permanency is dispelled. [Better to hire a caster with a higher CL.] If you hire a sorcerer with the Accursed Bloodline. Then your coven can pump the sorcerer's casting of permanency.
