Strange Magic, came out in January.

A animated musical love-story written by George Lucas.

It was its destiny to fail.

 

[K Clue iXi]

Everyone forgot about the Puss in Boots movie, which was far better than the last two Shrek movies.

Puss in Boots was awesome, and I can agree that it is better than Shrek 2, and Shrek 3.

 

[cacildo]

I really hate this kind of movie

Last time ive watched one of those was Shrek 3 (btw forgotten - not the character but the movie) because i was dating a girl who said she "loved shrek movies"

It was awful... like those cgi animated movies usually are

 

[MMarston]

And Mega motherfucking Mind, which was fantastic...

Agreed.


Totally did the whole villain centric plot better than Despicable Me.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

This. I still remember the movie though.

 

[mechashiva]

I wish Monsters vs Aliens got more love. Would have really dug a second movie.
Hail Galaxar!

 

[KillGore]

Bee Movie

yup. This

 

[Shig]

Megamind is good, but it's ugly as shit. Got this real uncanny valley thing going on, the characters' faces and movement skew way too realistic for the otherwise exaggerated and comic bookish art direction they're plastered on.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yeah... i don't know why I bought this.

 

[Corronchilejano]

There was one about cavemen (or at least a family)... What was it called again... ?

Do you mean The Croods?

 

[cyba89]

This one

 

[SpaceWolf]

Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet play rats. There are like...there's like a sewer and they fight some frogs. Some slugs start singing at some point, I think. There's more...there's....it's all a big sewer and I think a diamond is involved and one of the frogs is a French mime. Someone falls over, I can't remember who. Cockney accents. Lots of cockney accents.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

what's with animated movies and smug raised eyebrow face on the cover?

 

[Shig]

This one

Swear to god I've seen this on the schedule on at least three separate channels in the past week. Cartoon Network's been running a lot of ads for it.

 

[higgsboson1997]

Bee Movie

Did people really forget this? At least in India, all ads with bees in them that have come out since its have been modelled around Bee Movie. I saw an ad featuring the Bee Movie bee just a few days ago.

[EatinOlives]

what's with animated movies and smug raised eyebrow face on the cover?

It's the new "attitude". In the 90s it was having them in shades, a backwards baseball cap, and crossing their arms.

It got replaced with shit-eating-smug-grins as the "instantly give a character charm" formula.

 

[The Illiterati]

I remember a film trailer for a foreign animated film with a yellow tint and an adult subject matter....but its driving me crazy trying to find it. It wasn't anime, or Waltz with Bashir. It had kidnapping and murder I believe, around 2007 or 2008. I'm doubtful anyone knows what it is from that description....

 

[antispin]

Bolt is awesome. Megamind is another good one I don't hear about often. Hope they did well

 

[bonesmccoy]

DreamWorks the thread?

 

[Dishwalla]

I actually liked Flushed Away. They still play it on one of the HBO channels every once in a while.

 

[Sou Da]

The Croods was actually decent but the marketing was misleading, made it look a lot more generic than it was.

Flushed Away is the most British movie in existence, they somehow managed to make movie about mice in the sewer revolve around the World Cup.

 

[kurahador]

This one:

I'm having a hard time remembering the title and had to check wikipedia list one by one.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

who even knew this came out...wow

 

[Log4Girlz]

The Wild

Gnomio and Juliet

 

[Knit Your Own Porridge]

Bee Movie

That fucking Dreamworks face.

 

[GDGF]

9

I thought it was awesome, though.

 

[quesalupa]

OP stole my answer.

 

[Xenoboy]

A Monster in Paris -

I don't think I know anyone besides my sisters that have seen it.

Horton -

It was decent enough, poster sucks since the Elephant isn't a smug bastard.

 

[Space Avocat]

Bolt is awesome. Megamind is another good one I don't hear about often. Hope they did well

Bolt was wonderful! and everyone should watch it I now need to go see Megamind.

 

[Dicer]

Legend of the Guardians, not to be confused with Rise of the Guardians (which everyone also forgot).

Why yes, it was directed by Zack Snyder.

Great pick me and my kid loved that movie...

The running joke of "not enough owls" went on for far too long.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Mega Mind sucked

 

[Zeus Molecules]

I really like this movie too. Too a girl on a date to see it, which wasn't the brightest idea.

lmao I did the same thing.

 

[Gandalf]

Legend of the Guardians, not to be confused with Rise of the Guardians (which everyone also forgot).

Why yes, it was directed by Zack Snyder.

That scene in particular was stunning in 3D.

Thought it was a decent film.

 

[Dicer]

Mega Mind sucked

You sucked...

MegaMind is damn near silly kids movie cgi perfection...should have gotten a sequel.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

All I remember is that Entertainment Weekly gave it an F review.

 

[Crossing Eden]

This one:

I'm having a hard time remembering the title and had to check wikipedia list one by one.

This movie was so terrible.

 

[data]

My little brother watches Robots about every month

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I think Robots had "Underground" by Tom Waits in it. It has that going for it.

 

[Tansut]

 

[Bitanator]

I love this movie, got shit on by critics, but for a little kid, it is great.

 

[redmetal86]

I want to say Chicken Little and Bolt, but I might be wrong.


^beaten.

 

[mreddie]

Monsters vs. Aliens needs more love and Epic deserved a better script but I like and remember both, aside from Doogal, I say Shark Tale, Dreamworks weakest film by far.

 

[Dicer]

More cause I was talking with the GF

Monster House (scared the ever living shit outta my kid when it came out)
Hotel Transylvania
Planet 51
Book of Life
Ivan the incredible (saggy cg tits everywhere)
Valiant

I liked Monster House as a kid. Don't know how well it held up.

Hotel Transylvania is getting a sequel, FWIW.

I saw part of Planet 51 on Cartoon Network or something, that bit was crap.

ParaNorman? Seriously? It's great. Also, it's primarily stop-motion.

I was just about to post Valiant, so I'll post this instead:

I yanked Norman out, I know it's awesome, just want people to be aware...

 

[davepoobond]

That dream works movie about all of the holiday mascots that was awful

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Do you guys Remember Surf's Up? It is among my favorites because I'm a fan of mockumentaries, though.

 

[Dishwalla]

Rise of the Guardians was good and you are a terrible person.
