Amazon's Invincible series has wrapped up its first season, and it's pretty epic. Sure, the spotty animation at times & the terrible music choices for key emotional scenes (think crappier versions of Post Malone's Spider-Verse song) can be distracting. However, the whole series delivers the goods from the optimistic storytelling and superheroi...
The action-horror film Willy's Wonderland, which is about a bunch of homicidal animatronics versus Nicholas Cage in an abandoned family restaurant, had some assistance outside of North America.

The Studio Ghibli films are animated masterpieces. Not all of them, but surely many of them, including the likes of 1988's Grave Of The Fireflies, 1997's Princess Mononoke, and of course, 2001's Spirited Away. This is mostly thanks to the legendary founder of the company, Hayao Miyazaki, but in recent years, he has slowed down due to old age. Yo...

As if Disney isn't content with remaking its past animated flicks, it's now going to republish the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, a sci-fi space hero series with a toy line in the Toy Story franchise. The movie is called Lightyear and will become the definitive story of the original Buzz Lightyear, possibly scrubbing the 2000 Buzz Lightyear of ...

It will be Studio Ghibli's first-e...

Here's a clip from the upcoming series courtesy of Hulu, featuring the original voice cast (Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Tress MacNeille) voi...

Just a few days ago, PlayStation Japan released a colourful and cheerful video showing off a lineup of the latest PS4 games. We really liked it, but it looks like some animators and artists have started to notice something really off about the video. [wpvideo Uh9aCdVz] Animation website Catsuka uploaded a video showing a side-by-side comparison o...
There are so many iterations of The Addams Family that has appeared on both TV and the silver screen that it's really hard for me to judge the new CGI film based on any single one of them. I also have to take into account that these TV shows, cartoons, and movies existed in a time span of more than 50 years. [caption id="attachment_42074" width="4...
The best animated movies usually hail from either western countries like the United States (Disney Pixar, Dreamworks) or Japan (the home of anime), but not modern China, albeit being an economic global superpower known for their advanced tech. That is changing with the arrival of NEZHA, China's first truly great animated movie. NEZHA is not only c...

Laika may not be a household name like Disney, Pixar or even Dreamworks but it has always been unique amongst all those other studios by championing one of the most difficult animation techniques: stop-motion. That alone would make Laika's animated movies worth the price of admission, though they're often so much more than their visuals. 2009's Co...
