Animal Logic is probably the only company that would be considered foreign since they're based in Australia. The Lego Batman Movie looked fantastic and you wouldn't think it cost $80m. I'm looking forward to see what Reel FX does with Scooby as their work on the Looney Tunes CG shorts were really good.

 

The Scooby Doo animated film does have me pretty interesting I'll admit! Curious to see what they'll do it with anyway.

Frozen still the best animated film of the 2010s.

 

This is the worst first post in the history of first posts.

Taika Waititi wrote the initial screenplay

 

 

 

I swear that's not why. I genuinely enjoyed it the most out of last year's crop.

Come on Tele, half of these takes are agreeable.  I need a scorching, fiery take.  Lay it on me.

 

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS is worthless tripe that will raise a generation of idiots.

Moana was my favourite animated one from last year.

 

No bias in this opinion.  None whatsoever.

Sure but I am still right, like I am sure the Spielbergs and Coppolas and De Palmas and Lucas and Scorceses  of the world dreamt of doing a tiny psychological drama they could shoot in thier kitchen when they were aspiring filmmakers.

How exciting and transcendant and inspiring.

Feel like Frozen gets wayyyyyy too much hate nowadays. I also know that is was way overexposed as well.

[Napoleon]

I'm not that into animated movies. I love Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Rio, and that's it I think.

[That One Girl]

Frozen is still really good.  It only gets hate cause "lel tat 1 sog wuz popular xdd"

[The Futurist]

Frozen was anti Prince Charming.

It was good but..go see My Life as Zucchini and Red Turtle. Even better.

 

My Life as Zucchini was really good, I was fortunate enough to see it in the cinemas at an arthouse theater too. Last year was really good for animated films in general, save for the obvious Foreign low-budget crappy holdovers.

What about Norm of The North?

frozen is the only legit movie from the nudisney crop. well moana was pretty good too.

Frozen is fantastic, and the most emotionally powerful work from Disney since Lilo & Stitch.

 

Lilo & Stitch is grossly underrated. It's definitely a messy film, but it's so endearing and touching. A love letter to everyone who's been an outsider.

If I was fat I would be offended by Wall-e

 

I guess I'll bite.  

 

WALL-E is an incredibly generous movie. Even its "villains" aren't very villainous -- one is literally a computer following orders and one (from the distant past) is a dude in over his head who's basically just trying to get away okay with the rest of humanity. The movie doesn't mock people for being fat, it does what good science-fiction does and extrapolates an extreme example based on the environment it establishes. Everyone in the movie isn't inherently lazy at all -- in fact they take action on their own as soon as they start to realize they have alternatives (alternatives they never knew existed). Sure, the movie is fairly blunt that maybe we -- collectively -- ought to take care of our shit, and that a life dedicated to nothing but materialist consumption maybe isn't the best either for us or anyone else, but it makes those points awfully gently and never from a place of "you are wrong and this is why".

 

In 2008, none of these things were remotely edgy or challenging or even debated (much at all). Every time I've read someone who's angry about WALL-E, they seem to be projecting an awful lot into it that just isn't really there. IMO.
