The next episode of my podcast is going to be dedicated to recent animated films, and with that in mind I want to find out people's opinions on animation in the past 12 months.
First: please leave a comment with your favourite animated films from the past year. You can rank as many as you want, or just mention your one favourite. I'll tally them all in a method of spurious scientific accuracy to try and come up with a Top 5 or 10 of the year. To jog your memory, the animated films released theatrically in Australia in 2010 were:
- Beauty and the Beast 3D
- Despicable Me
- Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance
- Fantastic Mr Fox
- How to Train your Dragon
- The Illusionist
- King of Thorns
- Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
- Megamind
- The Princess and the Frog
- Shrek Forever After
- Summer Wars
- Tangled
- Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue
- Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D
- Toy Story 3
Now a few of these are technically 2009 movies (The Princess and the Frog, Fantastic Mr Fox), but were only released in Australia in early 2010. Additionally, Tangled was actually released here in January 2011, but was released in the USA in 2010, so I've included it here. There are almost certainly one or two minor animated films that I've missed - feel free to put in a write-in vote.
Second: I'd love it if you wanted to give me a one to three sentence review of any of these films - what you loved, what you hated, special observations, etc. Please note I will probably read the more interesting ones out on the podcast, so tell me if you don't want your name included.
All comments and responses will be screened to preserve a pointless sense of mystery and allure.
Thanks!!
Grant.
