The Panda

While, I've seen plenty of fresh rated movies that are pretty bland or bad, there aren't many rotten movies that Id find much more than decent to pretty good (and they're usually in the 50s). And I've yet to find a very low RT score movie that's anything more than passable. While technically, no RT doesn't determine quality, it is a very good indicator of a movies quality if you're trying to figure out what to watch. (I won't necessarily agree completely with a score, I'll like a 70s more than 90s for example, but I'll usually still end up liking both the certified fresh movies). It's much more trustworthy for me than taking a single individual's opinion entirely.

Just you titanic fangirls wait, a Jurassic Park sequel will soon DEMOLISH Titanic.

The scores nothing original nor special. It has nothing on the original Williams score. And despite how middle of the road the score is for Zimmer (one of the most overrated composers out there), its still easily the best part of the atrocious cultural/cinematic genocide (using it as an expression) Man of Steel is apart of and represents. (I'm not excusing Marvel films either) I went off a bit right there and will tone it back, but with each superhero film that come out the more distaste I have for them. The few exceptions for great superhero films recently were Guardians of the Galaxy (which really isn't a superhero film, just a marvel one), Iron Man, The Avengers, and the Dark Knight. I'm pretty much done with the genre, and it's likely within a few years of 7-8 superhero films a year the GA will be done too.

Last I heard you didn't have to be white to love Pixar, just have a soul.

Watch, if this flops they'll blame Dinklage and continue to refuse to cast him in major films for being short.

Yeah, Peter Dinklage is in it, that right there saves it from being capable of being that bad.

And within a few years Marvel (and all superhero movies) will be out of the top 5. As it should be.

What if Charlie Chaplin rose from the grave to direct with a John Williams And Ennio Morricone collab for the score and it starred Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd in place of Sandler and James

Home Alones a really mediocre movie though... You should listen to your elders

Hey, at least Dinklage is getting praise. I wish the guy could get better film roles, he's a great actor (see GoT) but nobody likes to hire short men.

I feel like going to see this Friday night now just to see if it really is that awful.

There are no locks yet, for all we know Joy and The Revenant completely suck.

I wonder if the Good Dinosaur could pull a nomination, animated flicks haven't before, but it's some great VFX in that trailer

Yeah, that's what I mean. I was still worried Inside Out might just be an exception, but it's not looking so.

Yikes, those reviews are toxic

This looks like it'll be emotional and spectacular. Pixar is back at it.

I mean I knew Snow was going to live, there's to much set up that'd be pointless if he just died like that. I think the plot point there is to get him off of his wall oath and be able to actually do something for a change. Since he "died" he's released from his oath.

Hercules "I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day." Animation Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios My Letter Grade For It: B+ Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 4.5 Heart String Tugging Rating: 4.5 Nostalgia Rating: 6.5 Originality Rating: 6.5 Comedic Rating: 7 Animation Quality: 7 Rotten Tomatoes: 83% Notable Achievements: Nominated For 1 Oscar and finishing at 99m domestic Reasoning: Hercules is another one of Disney's animations that is often underlooked for the gem that it really is. Hercules is packed to the brim with humor and fun references, the music numbers are some of Disney's most fun, and it keeps a bright tone and quick pace to the very end, serving as great form of entertainment to watch with the whole family. Yes, it lacks a lot more of the maturity of Disney's better pictures, but not every film needs it. Hercules succeeds on its own as a fun-filled take on a classic tale.

The Lion King 1 1/2 "Shall we run for our lives?" Animation Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios My Letter Grade: B Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 4 Heart String Tugging Rating: 6 Nostalgia Rating: 7.5 and 1/2 Originality Rating: 7 Comedic Rating: 7 Animation Quality: 6 Rotten Tomatoes: 76% Notable Achievements: Being in the shadow of something great Reasoning: No, this sequel in no way soars to the heights of it's predecessor, but it's Disney, what'd you expect? In fact, this is quite possibly the best sequel Disney was able to produce for their animations (even if it is a straight to dvd one). It is able to recapture some of the nostalgic magic of the first one through the eyes of the two comedic sidekicks, Timon and Pumba, and takes you on quite a fun little journey. Yes, it can be a little juvenile, but at the same time it is still able to keep a good sense of humor. The Lion King 1 1/2 is creative and original, managing to serve as both a fun prequel and sequel at the same time.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh "Yeah, that icky, sticky stuff is only fit for heffalumps and woozles." Animation Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios My Letter Grade: B+ Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 2.5 Heartstring Tugging Rating: 6.5 Nostalgia Rating: 8.5 Originality Rating: 6 Comedic Rating: 6 Animation Quality: 7.5 Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Notable Achievements: A Fondly Remembered Pooh Bear Reasoning: While, the older you get the harder it gets to watch Winnie the Pooh and still watch it as endearingly as you did as a child, it's hard not get nostalgic when thinking back to the time you spent watching Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Woods. That is what put this film on the list for me. That's not to say it isn't a quality film, the water colors come right out of a story book and the whole thing is magical in a sense. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a faithful and nostalgic collection of shorts about this little old bear.

The Emperor's New Groove "Oh, it's not the first time I was tossed out of a window, and it won't be the last. What can I say? I'm a rebel." Animation Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios My Letter Grade: B Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 4 Heart String Tugging Rating: 7.5 Nostalgia Rating: 6.5 Originality Rating: 5 Comedic Rating: 7.5 Animation Quality: 7 Rotten Tomatoes: 85% Notable Achievements: Nominated For 1 Oscar Reasoning: The Emperor's New Groove is a solid addition to Disney's long line up, and has a beautiful setting in which it takes place in. The film is full of humor and it provides a strong, and easy to grasp message for the little ones. Pacha is able to pull at your heart a bit with his honesty and noble stature as a peasant farmer. The film never treads on to long, and it keeps a well-mannered pace that keeps the plot rolling and interesting. While, there isn't anything overly special about the movie, it's over all very consistent and one of Disney's more underrated films.

Paprika "the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes." Animation Studio: Madhouse My Letter Grade: B+ Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 10 Nostalgia Rating: 2.5 Originality Rating: 9 Inception meets Black Swan before either movie existed Comedic Rating: 2 Animation Quality: 7.5 Rotten Tomatoes: 84% Reasoning: Paprika is an adult oriented, r rated animated film, that manages to bend your mind on reality and dreams. It's more of a trip than Black Swan and Inception put together, and it takes multiple viewings to really get a handle at each plot point that happens within the film. Because of this the film can become a bit of a mess script wise, but it's just so dang imaginative that it's hard to to be entranced, especially since I am always lenient to animations that have the balls to be adult oriented entertainment (even if it is Japanese anime). Paprika is a visual treat for the eye, and a nice jog for the mind.

Big Hero 6 "Balalalala" Animation Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios My Letter Grade: B+ Fun For the Whole Family Rating: 4.5 Nostalgia Rating: 6 Heart String Tugging Rating: 8 Originality Rating: 2 Comedic Rating: 7.5 Balalalala Animation Quality: 8 Rotten Tomatoes: 89% Notable Achievements: Won Oscar for Best Animated Picture Reasoning: Big Hero 6 is a very charming, although quite familiar, animated piece that does a great job at bringing heavy issues to light for children, while also padding them to make them light enough for the child to deal with and grasp. While, the movie can often follow many of the superhero origin cliches, many of the great moments come in the not-so-heroic scenes that deal with the personal relationship Hiro builds with Baymax (so I may be in disagreement with others in thinking that I wanted more Hiro and Baymax and less of the annoying other 4). Big Hero 6 definitely follows conventionality and is very predictable, it still manages to be heartwarming and lovable at the same time, especially in the Baymax character. The movie is also flawed because Immortals is a really awful song, and by awful I mean really terrible, it makes the entire training scene cringe worthy. Big Hero 6 is wonderfully animated and deserved the Oscar out of what was nominated (because a certain animated masterpiece was snubbed).
