Illumination Entertainment’s Minions opened up to the #1 spot in the weekend box office grossing over $115 million domestically. It’s said to be the second highest opening weekend for an animated film after Shrek the Third.
Have you seen it? Was it good? Do you plan on seeing it if you haven’t already?
I’m super excited!!!! The teaser trailer for the upcoming 2016 animated Disney film, Zootopia, has been released!
What do you all think of it? I’m just so excited to finally see something about this movie. I’m more excited about this than I am about Moana! I’ve always enjoyed anthropomorphic animals and this film is supposed to be a bit of a mystery/whodunnity/crime case sort of a film, which is something I also love! So far, Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin are the only announced voice actors.
In 2010, we got the third chapter in what would become an awesome trilogy along the lines of the original Star Wars, Back to the Future, The Lord of the Rings, etc. Toy Story 3 was a massive success both critically and commercially. It was the first animated movie to gross over $1 billion in the worldwide box office.
It was a film that nigh everybody connected to emotionally. I personally didn’t cry, but I went as far as I’d ever gotten up to that point to crying while watching a movie…and that’s saying something.

We FINALLY have our first trailer (albeit, a teaser) for The Good Dinosaur, the Pixar film that asks, “What would have happened if the asteroid didn’t destroy the dinosaurs?”.
Ok, I am SOOOOO EXCITED about this movie now! I wasn’t all that interested before, but now that I’ve seen a trailer, I can’t wait for November 25th! I love the realistic animation from the asteroids to the dinosaurs (the silhouettes in the beginning)! I love how there seems to be an adventurous/dramatic element to the film rather than just comedic!
What do you all think of the trailer? Excited for the film?
Ever since I watched (and fell in love with) Spirited Away, I have been constantly told that there is another Studio Ghibli film that if not better than Spirited Away, is of the same caliber. That film was Princess Mononoke. I’ve finally gotten around to seeing it (the English dub) and here are my thoughts.
Dreamworks Animation’s latest film, Home, surprised many critics and audiences by opening at the #1 spot in the weekend box office with a $52 million gross! The film, which many (myself included) deemed it sure to fail provided a much-needed boost to the already-faltering Dreamworks Animation.
Did you see the film? How was it? Do you think Dreamworks Animation can pull itself out from under?
Today we look at a forgotten/minor character from Pixar’s 10th film and the 2nd animated film ever nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Up.

Wow, this is the 3rd Pixar movie in which I’ve had difficulty selecting a forgotten/minor character and ended up having to go with a character that was unseen, or in this case, not even mentioned. Good job at stumping me, Pixar!
Anyway, today’s forgotten/minor character is from Pixar’s 9th film and winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, WALL-E. (Warning: this post will have spoilers!)
In what comes as no surprise to anyone, Disney has officially announced that they’re developing a sequel to their billion-dollar film, Frozen. The original team is set to develop the sequel. For more information, check out the Variety article here.
I personally am not excited about this. I feel Frozen should remain its own movie and not have a sequel, much less a sequel in the official Canon. But, the original movie was a huge success, so there’s no reason why this film will become a flop for Disney.
Are you all excited for this? Let me know in the comments below!
Well, it’s the review that you all have been waiting for: my review of the 54th Disney Canon film that won the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar in the 87th Academy Awards, Big Hero 6!
Too bad. Here’s my review!
