- DirectorBob PersichettiPeter RamseyRodney RothmanStarsShameik MooreJake JohnsonHailee SteinfeldTeen Miles Morales becomes the Spider-Man of his universe and must join with five spider-powered individuals from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities.Well-crafted superhero story with amazing Character design and development and world building. It captures in less than 2 hours the essence of the 60 year-old running Spiderman hero and his alterego while respecting its universe in both movies and comics protrayal alike. Outstanding and groundbreaking animation techniques that made it win the oscar of best animated feature film in 2018.
- DirectorBrad BirdStarsEli MarienthalHarry Connick Jr.Jennifer AnistonA young boy befriends a giant robot from outer space that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.Didn't make the box office it deserves. From the creator that brought you groundbreaking The Incredibles and who revived the already dying Mission Impossible franchise with Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Brad Bird brings a gem that not many people have seen that provided the best in traditional animation at the time, which is not made by Disney, telling a story with heart and engaging characters and a setting like no other animated movie has been able to represent. Mature yet aimed at kids, just how Brad Bird knows how to do it.
- DirectorBrad BirdStarsCraig T. NelsonSamuel L. JacksonHolly HunterWhile trying to lead a quiet suburban life, a family of undercover superheroes are forced into action to save the world.Never has a single movie portrayed all the good and all the bad (in a classic, stereotypical way not in a criticising way) of the golden and silver age of Superheroes. This movie takes the best of all the Superhero media there is: comics, tv shows, movies; with the genres it shared style with: Spy movies, modern architecture and fashion; and combines it with the best character developments and designs I've ever seen accompanied with a heartwarming story about family, acceptance and thrilling superheroic action. Thank you, Brad Bird, writter and director, you sure know how to make a round movie.
- DirectorGary TrousdaleKirk WiseStarsPaige O'HaraRobby BensonJesse CortiA prince cursed to spend his days as a hideous monster sets out to regain his humanity by earning a young woman's love.With outstanding animation style and themes, this movie tells a tale about blind love through the eyes of a smart, witty girl that wants "something more than a provincial life". Brilliant furniture design, music and vibrant colors that transports you into a fairytale
- DirectorPatrick GilmoreTim JohnsonStarsBrad PittCatherine Zeta-JonesJoseph FiennesThe sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus.Criminally underrated action and adventure movie about an old hero not many people know about. With incredible character and world designs and developments, it features a strong male and female lead with a love tension and love triangle that only improves the overall, simple story it is telling. Nevertheless, the biggest surprise and the reasong why this movie stands out is the female villain, the interesting landscaped and monsters it provides and the satisfaction of seeing new interesting character developments that redeems a thief and creates a hero.
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsJodi BensonSamuel E. WrightRene AuberjonoisA mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain in an attempt to become human and win a prince's love.Adapting in its own way a very dramatic fairytale about a mermaid that falls in love with a human, despite my tendency to prefer more the original material than the adaptation, this movie makes me prefer this adaptation over the original story. Not only does it bring a more hopeful ending but it does so with astounding animation, music score and character developments and designs that just delights audience. But the music... Thank you Alan Menken and all the people involved
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsTate DonovanSusan EganJames WoodsThe son of Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it.Like the Incredibles and Into the Spiderverse, this movie tells the story of a differnt hero through a different lense. This movie draws lightly from the original story of Hercules from the Greek Mythology but it does so to represent one of the best Greek-inspired settings, animation style and characters I've ever seen. The story may be simple and worn out for some about how a special person that can't fit in finds acceptance, but it's not the WHAT but the HOW it is told that makes this movie stand out. With yet again amazing music score lead but the gospel-styled Muses and with endearing side characters like Hades, Philoctetes and Megara; it tells a tale of a classic hero in a somehow "modern" view which provides a great base for constructing what really makes a hero... Take note of the message in this movie, Marvel
- DirectorTony BancroftBarry CookStarsMing-Na WenEddie MurphyBD WongTo save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China's greatest heroines in the process.Where to start, a story about a girl that against all odds decides to not only protect his father but her country too. To me, this movie, like the Last Samurai, brings honor to the culture it is trying to draw inspiration from and respect. With a beatiful introduction that transports you to the era it's portraying, with again an amazing score and with a story that hits strong in our hearts. It's a great movie that promotes the good kind of feminism, of showing that a woman can do what men can by doing it and not just saying it.
