I'm not really sure if that was his decision though since I think he agreed with others criticisms of the film. (This is the same Universal that scrapped Biggering from The Lorax cause it was "Too relentlessly dark")
@Rediscool9 About the movie itself, he said that before they added music to the movie, it felt like a "big big crap" with "no emotion". Music is one of the very last things added to a movie...
The best way I can describe some of last year's animated movies is like a buffet. It has some stuff not everyone will enjoy but overall, there is some nice things to like.
After hearing all the mixed reviews with the movie, I was shockingly disappointed with how much I landed on the “despise” side. Literally nothing in that movie felt “good” besides the animation to me 😅😅
For a comparison of productions Spider-Verse overworked employees through indecisive leadership of Lord & Miller Mutant Mayhem let their employees rest when they needed it, allowing work-from-home, and sometimes only working 3 days a week for needed time off. (Can we please operate all animation productions like Mutant Mayhem please?)
Thank god you addressed the hell the animators went through during the production of across the spiderverse. Many reviewers push it aside and praise Lord + Miller while ignoring the abuse their animation team endured. The fact they kept releasing different versions in theaters with alterations that people kept trying to spin it as " Cool because it's like different universes haha! " when it's really just tedious and useless shit they should have fixed in the first place is very annoying. People in general just have little respect for animators. I really wish more people had sympathy towards them / critiqued the directors for treating them like shit.
I've seen an alarming amount of people who said "lol who cares" in response to the mistreatment. How soulless can these people be. We can have a good movie and good working conditions not one or the other.
Despite how much a liked Across The Spiderverse (although compared to the last movie I thought it could’ve been better), hopefully for Beyond The Spiderverse Lord and Miller will actually treat the animators like people.
That begs the question, I wonder what the working conditions were like for the Lego Movie, after all, they put a ton of work into making the animation feel authentic to those old Lego animations + many other new techniques to circumvent the limitations at the time
@@cyberz55 Well considering the Lego movie was in development for 6 years compared to across the spiderverse which took around 3 I bet the working conditions were at least better. Honestly I have a strong suspicion that a lot of it comes from heavy crunch culture from Sony.
Top three animated movies for me this year. 1. Spiderverse(masterpiece nuff said) 2. Nimona( if spiderverse didnt come out this year this would be my favorite) 3. Tmnt( i do agree that the villains turning was rushed but this was my most rewatched film of the year and made me laugh a lot. Jeff rowe is an awesome director).
I feel like Ruby Gillman just needed to be longer, that might not have bumped the film into a smash hit but I think for the story it could have helped flesh things out better.
Omg thank you for bringing up the inflated expectations for Dreamworks by ppl online. I always loved Dreamworks and grew up watching the 2000s movies, and i always loved how different each movie could be. To treat Puss in Boots 2 like the beginning of a "Dreamworks Renaissance" or something ignores all of the amazing movies they've already made, and that their releases have always been inconsistent.
The only problem with making a good story for the mario movie is that Miyamoto will literally murder someone who tries to make the story more then a basic plot
The Peasants uses its handpainted style to mimic popular styles from a cultural period in Poland know as "young poland" during which the book its adapting came out and I think they did a great job. Also several shots in the movie are direct references to known (at least in poland) paintings from said period and its pretty neat if you can pick up on them - rare advantage of being polish lmao
While I agree that Ruby Gillman was hyped up too much, due to Puss in Boots The Last Wish, I don't feel like The Last Wish was some anomaly, where DreamWorks just threw mud at the wall, to see what stuck. It was a clear case of everyone sitting down and thinking about how they could actually create a story worth telling. We need more of that in the industry.
Thank you for not including the poorly animated bargain bin movies. Those are always the most boring part of any animated movie rank, looking at you Saberspark, cause nobody has seen them, and you don’t have to watch them to know they’re shit or meh.
It was always going to come out after Elemental. Elio was always scheduled to be the film to come out after Inside Out 2 according its original release schedule.
Just too add a bit of nuanced my understanding is that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller especially the former where used as mouthpieces by the studio's higher ups but either way what happened was really messed up.
Ruby Gilman lost me with how it portrayed teenagers, you could just tell it's a portrayal from middle aged grown ups with all the forced unnatural progressive speak like saying prom is a "post colonial patriarchal construct" and goofy dialogue like algabae and mother flipping. Even the most awkward teens don't do this crap. It seems like an allegory for second generation immigrants (not saying this is necessarily the intention but being one myself I could see patterns in how Ruby sees things) which is interesting but kind of takes a backseat to the less interesting plot about being some kraken princess. That's my perspective as an adult anyways, I'm sure a 6 year old would like it fine
Can we at least agree 2023 was still a bad year for theatrical animation financially aside from Super Mario Bros. and Across the Spider Verse being adaptations, and now we're getting more sequels as opposed to originals in 2024 like Kung Fu Panda 4, Inside Out 2, and Despicable Me 4.
Your description and ranking on the Mario Movie is one I completely agree with as a Mario fan. It’s the film that you know it was made for fans and nothing more, I can love all aspects of it especially the adaptations side, but as an actual film, it’s pretty mid, and is weak in a narrative structure. Also, Across the Spider-Verse is by far the best animated film of the year, but good, the animators definitely deserve respect.
Nimona being placed in certified hood classic has added years to my life span I am so fucking happy to see this movie get the phrase and love it deserves
At this point Despicable Me 4 is probably going to be better than most of what Disney put out, at least Illumination are aware of their audience and who exactly their catering to.
Wish sounds like one of those things in which it’s wasted potential is something I hyperfixate on for several weeks, especially with all the concept art that’s been released and/or leaked
Everyone in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom was saying how the movie was better than the actual show. Which, yes, it kinda is… except, the bar wasn’t very high to begin with, so that isn’t saying much. 😂
My problem with the Demon Slayer "movie" is that they didn't remove the credits of the entertainment district, so there was just a large wall of credits in the middle of the movie. (I heard some people left the theatre when they saw them thinking the movie was over, which is so funny) I sure everyone knew this was a cash grab but I didn't expect them to literally slam the episodes together without adding or cutting anything. Of course the episodes themselves are incredible (especially s2 ep 17) but that's what they are, episodes. They weren't intended to be viewed this way. For example, after ep 17 there was a massive cliffhanger that kind of losses all of its impact.
The situation behind Across the Spider-Verse is probably one of the worst situations in media. Fuck Lord and Miller. These animators are amazing in their own right and deserve all the praise and all the extra help those two got deserve praise. And Oh my god, a FRICKIN 12 YEAR OLD worked/animated on this movie…Feck. You know, I still think Animators and VFX workers should have their own union.
I felt spiderverse was a great movie in a writing sense but was too much in an animation sense. There is something to be said for more subtlety in scenes and that some scenes were brilliant due to the stark contrast.
For It's SpiderVerse or The Boy and The Heron but I won't be sad if The Boy and The Heron won Best Animated Picture but my hoping that Spiderverse Won the first animated movie for both movies to win oscar ❤🎉
Ngl I’ve only seen like four of the movies on this list in full length And I also find it kinda hilarious how many people were hyping up Dreamworks as the next top dog in animated movies and surpassing Disney But I honestly skipped out on the 2023 movie releases of both Disney AND Dreamworks I guess I’ll have to say which movie impresses me more in 2024 Inside Out 2 or Kung Fu Panda 4
Listen I love Demon Slayer but I looked up at the Swordsmith “movie” and said “Wait this happened?” Keep in mind I’m at 3x8. Like I’ve never heard anyone talk about this
My top movies for 2023 for me were 1. The Super Mario Bros Movie 2. The Boy and the Heron 3. Spider-man across the spider-verse 4. Nimona 5. TMNT Mutant Mayhem 6. Migration 7. Leo 8. Chicken run 2 9. Trolls 3
I'm very happy that in 2023 my two favorite media (Animations and Videogames) had much more ups than downs! This helped me in my last year of high school...
I didnt really love spiderverse. Like it was good but the story did not resonate with me like the first one. Boy and the Heron takes my top spot this year.
Here's my ranking on the movies of 2023: Disney's Wish - 10/10. The Super Mario Bros. Movie - 10/10. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - 10/10. Elemental - 9/10. Nimona - 9/10. Migration - 9/10. TMNT: Mutant Mayhem - 9/10. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget - 9/10. Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken - 8/10. The Magician's Elephant - 8/10. Leo - 7/10. Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir: The Movie - 7/10. Trolls: Band Together - 7/10. The Monkey King - 6/10. Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie - 6/10. **The rest I've have not seen, but that's fine.** For me, 2023 is a good year. Share if you agree, if you don't, that's fine. I respect your opinion.🙂😗😚☺🙂
wish is good when you have low expectations imo. the characters, side characyers and villains especially, were shallow and had no development apart from the short guy. the songs also had little to no depth. its died down to a 5/10 at best for me
@@clxvepilled Hey, It's alright! I respect your opinion on this film, Also, my expectations were high, And YES, I did see Once Upon A Studio, but guess what? I think that short and this movie are a wholesome 100th anniversary tribute, In my opinion at least. Share if you agree with me.🙂😚🙂😉😊🙂
I can't say that I agree about The Boy and the Heron. It's a gorgeous movie, with a lot of imagination and great scenes, but as a whole movie, I thought that it didn't hold up to the standard of Ghibli. There is little to no exploration of the characters, no real plot to speak of, and a surprising lack of poetry. A beautiful movie with little substance. Also, Miyazaki's most personal movie ? Really ? When The Wind Rises exists ? Porco Rosso ? Castle in the Sky ? Overall, a decent movie, but still a disappointment for a Miyazaki movie.
Well if it wasn’t for spider-man ATSV, i would say Black Clover: Sword of the wizard King was my 2023 film. That was a very hype ass hell movie. Would suggest to anyone who is an anime fan, black clover fan, or if someone wanting to get into Black Clover
Because they saw bigger studios cash in on animation after largely being ignored for some time until Into the Spiderverse (2018) changed everyone's minds and almost single handedly revived the genre.
Given the amount of interesting projects Sony Animation has up their sleeves, I think they’d pretty much the one dominanting the movie industry as of now
This Mario fan will come after you just kidding lol 😂 anyhoo I loved this movie so much so what if the movie doesn’t have a story it doesn’t have to it will always have a special place in my heart and I can’t wait for the sequel Mario movie= s tier in my opinion 😊❤️! Anyways great list!
As someone who watched A Silent Voice in December and with it being my favorite piece of media ever made plus hearing a lot about Your Name I think ima add Suzume to my list.
Elemental gave me a real big piece of humble pie. I watched the trailer like "oh fucking God, ANOTHER Romeo and Juliet story" only to watch it turn out to be not that generic.
Remember when we thought that Ruby Gillman would be a great, heartfelt story that would continue Dreamworks’ pattern of kicking Disney’s butt in theatres, and that Elemental would be far inferior… yeah….
I really liked Suzume, i went into the cinema blind(ok it's a Shinkai movie i kinda knew what i was in for) and really enjoyed it though i made a joke to myself about a minute in and inadvertently called the end reveal, Mario was very mid and i wish it did more with it's characters, like i really liked the Peach backstory scene but wish it went on longer, And yeah Spider-Verse was great and I'm really hyped to see a certain character they've confirmed will appear.
I haven't watched the monkey King yet but when it comes to a retelling of the journey to the east I recommend sayuki because I think it's actually pretty good
i'm from poland so imma talk about the peasants went there because school wanted us to do it BECAUSE it's based off of a book we have to read at some point of high school education while the artstyle goes hard, the actual movie was... alright the story is basically "everyone wants either land or to bang the MC" that one fight scene was interesting, but the movie is kinda nothing story-wise yeah it's talking about the issue of misogyny and objectification of woman, and the ending really made me wanna hate every single character aside from the MC
The only bad thing about this movie is the fact that it reminded me of Bridget's theme from Strive 💀 something I never thought I'd be saying about a Guilty Gear song 😭
@tabris95 You clicked on this video to hear his opinion. He explained clearly why he doesn't rate Mutant Mayhem that high. Although some people think over wise; Spider-verse like animation (Alone) isn't enough for a movie to be above average. I also thought the story in TMNTMM was kinda lacking (you gonna harass me for having that opinion too!?!) Why can't you just enjoy the movie. Over-wise craft a in depth video essay; that explains why you think it's really good. Because calling people (and their video) pretentious or disappointing, just because you disagree with them, is rude and unacceptable.
the reason the peasants is animated is because the book was released in a polish impressionist period, and the entire movie is inspired by era-appropriate paintings. there are a few scenes that are exact redraws of famous impressionist polish paintings and I assume the whole idea of the movie stemmed from that. very pleasantly surprised to see it here btw!
The Boy and the Heron was my favorite pretty easily, and that’s half because it’s absolutely remarkable and half because I am unfortunately still one of the people who cannot understand all of the hype surrounding ATSV. I loved it too, don’t get me wrong, but…it’s half of a full story. It’s a complete movie, yes, but not a complete story. And that second half? It might be bad. Or it might just never come out. If either of those futures occur, ATSV is made significantly worse in retrospect. And before anyone claims that you can’t judge earlier installments as lesser because of a bad conclusion, seriously attempt to watch and enjoy Game of Thrones again.
I thought I was the only one who thought Mutant Mayhem's meta references were kinda obnoxious. Not saying the film is bad, but the first half was definitely dragged down by how many "wink wink nudge" moments there were.
THANK YOU for calling people out for gassing up ILLUMINATION of all studios Like it genuinely baffled me how so many people were saying that Illumination were SOMEHOW better than pixar after one overhyped move
My top 3 animated movies of 2023 1. Super Mario movie- I’m a huge Mario fan I loved the scenes the characters it just warmed my heart especially the Mario and Luigi scenes 😊❤💚!!! 2. Spider man across the multiverse- it was so epic I absolutely loved miles as a character the scenes were amazing 🤩! 3. Nimona- amazing movie with epic story and characters!
okay, i just watched the boy and the heron, and i could not make HEADS OR TAILS of the plot?????? why do i feel like it's overrated???? i loved the art, as always, but at the end of the movie, i was left scratching my head. this film didn't feel "raw". this has to be miyazaki's most confusing movie even more than howl's moving castle, at least that movie felt more emotional, here, it's just.... things happening, mahito feels so static as a character. believe me, i'm a studio ghibli fan, and i was extremely disappointed with this. i don't get what people like cartoonshi see in this movie, am i missing something???? please tell me! i want to know!
Not technically animated, but it basically is. Hundreds of Beavers. It’s an absolutely insane slapstick comedy of a man becoming a fur trapper. The reason I say it’s basically animated is due to how much of it takes place on green screens. It uses actors in animal costumes and puppets throughout. Seriously, don’t let the look distract you. I know it looks dumb on the surface, but this is one of the smartest written films I’ve seen. So many gags happen and continue to come back and evolve as the film goes on. It is a genuine masterpiece and it needs more love.
I need to spread the word for this because it's important and individual that was targeted, my favorite UA-camr Chazington have to forced to put down his Video's because of the False "Copyright" claims by a deranged infamous disturbed Individual who tried impersonate him. ...known as, Crash bandicoot.
So much good and bad and I love that there is so many unique takes too. I couldn't stand ATSV as a sequel but I definitely do respect that so many people love it and I am happy for those who did love it. On the other side, I loved the Mario movie where others can't stand it. I just always find a wider variety of perspectives interesting.
6:23 Yeah I don't know why Superfly's team turned on him so quickly especially Bebop and rocksteady like Bebop and rocksteady are usually supposed to be slaves working for Shredder they're usually one of the bad guys but why are they living with the turtles now?

Yes
Clever
Across the spider verse was fire I enjoyed the hell out of it but I kind of hope that the animators get the respect that they deserved
Elemental is probably the most polarized pixar movie i’ve ever seen. Everyone seems to either adore it, or despise it, with almost no in-between
After hearing all the mixed reviews with the movie, I was shockingly disappointed with how much I landed on the “despise” side. Literally nothing in that movie felt “good” besides the animation to me 😅😅
I've never heard anyone praise it as a movie, maybe for the art but not as a movie
I do not get it, it's so mid
I thought it was alright ig
Idk I feel like the average consensus I've seen is in the "it's alright/decent" zone.
For a comparison of productions
Spider-Verse overworked employees through indecisive leadership of Lord & Miller
Mutant Mayhem let their employees rest when they needed it, allowing work-from-home, and sometimes only working 3 days a week for needed time off.
(Can we please operate all animation productions like Mutant Mayhem please?)
I love Spiderverse but that was a pretty poor decision on the filmmakers’ part. Good thing the third movie got delayed
Huh! I didn't know that about Mutant Mayhem. Yay for ethically produced, cage-free animation!
Why they not choose to hire more employees? I'm just asking.
Thank god you addressed the hell the animators went through during the production of across the spiderverse. Many reviewers push it aside and praise Lord + Miller while ignoring the abuse their animation team endured.
The fact they kept releasing different versions in theaters with alterations that people kept trying to spin it as " Cool because it's like different universes haha!

Everyone knows Mario was the best movie I mean come on Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt, AND Chris Pratt!? Peak
The Chris Pratt movie was peak
I think I needed a little more Chris Pratt in the movie
Ruin is boring
As Miyimoto himself said “he’s so cool” which everyone can agree
Don’t forget about Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt, and Chris Pratt too!
The entire cast deserves credit, not just those 3!
I'd either "Nimona" or "Across the Spider-Verse" ranks the top in high quality animated feature of 2023
Funny how migration was the illumination movie with very little licensed music, but the mario movie was the one that got stuck with all of them.
And the Mario movie had an original score too but illumination forced in the licensed music
It's not great either but it was better than the Mario movie
The mario movie and migration are 10/10 for me
@@ShirubaGin Subjective.
Migration is probably the best original Illumination film since the first Despicable Me

Cartoonshi just can’t miss, he has all the best analayses of films and every aspect of them.
I think we can all agree 2023 was a win just for across the spider verse alone
It’s actually crazy that Disney got left out of the awards this year.
Last year for animation had more highs than lows but I'd say it was the best year out of the 2020s for animation
My problem with the Demon Slayer "movie" is that they didn't remove the credits of the entertainment district, so there was just a large wall of credits in the middle of the movie. (I heard some people left the theatre when they saw them thinking the movie was over, which is so funny)

And I also find it kinda hilarious how many people were hyping up Dreamworks as the next top dog in animated movies and surpassing Disney
But I honestly skipped out on the 2023 movie releases of both Disney AND Dreamworks
I guess I’ll have to say which movie impresses me more in 2024
Inside Out 2 or Kung Fu Panda 4
@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. I think it took Laika 5 years to make Missing Link, so they’re probably still working out their next movie
Welp Kung Fu Panda 4 was mid asf while Inside Out 2 was amazing. Guess we’ll have to wait for Wild Robot to truly see what Dreamworks has in store
2023 was an amazing year for animation
I sort of agree, there weren't enough movies though
Listen I love Demon Slayer but I looked up at the Swordsmith “movie” and said “Wait this happened?”
Keep in mind I’m at 3x8. Like I’ve never heard anyone talk about this
I despise chris pratt as a voice actor. HE CANNOT VOICE ACT
My top movies for 2023 for me were
1. The Super Mario Bros Movie
2. The Boy and the Heron
3. Spider-man across the spider-verse
4. Nimona
5. TMNT Mutant Mayhem
6. Migration
7. Leo
8. Chicken run 2
9. Trolls 3
It seems animated movies mostly seem to be; beautiful and breathtaking visuals but decent/shakeyish writing (excluding some ofc)
I'm very happy that in 2023 my two favorite media (Animations and Videogames) had much more ups than downs! This helped me in my last year of high school...
I didnt really love spiderverse. Like it was good but the story did not resonate with me like the first one. Boy and the Heron takes my top spot this year.
Didn’t know Rock dog got a sequel let alone a 3rd movie.

**The rest I've have not seen, but that's fine.**
For me, 2023 is a good year.
Share if you agree, if you don't, that's fine.
I respect your opinion.🙂😗😚☺🙂
I agree with your list. But I think Nimona was way better than Migration (in my opinion)
@@Jack_Saint_Archive I agree with you.
But at least it got me entertained.
wish is good when you have low expectations imo. the characters, side characyers and villains especially, were shallow and had no development apart from the short guy. the songs also had little to no depth. its died down to a 5/10 at best for me
@@clxvepilled Hey, It's alright! I respect your opinion on this film, Also, my expectations were high,
And YES, I did see Once Upon A Studio, but guess what? I think that short and this movie are a wholesome
100th anniversary tribute, In my opinion at least.
Share if you agree with me.🙂😚🙂😉😊🙂
I can't say that I agree about The Boy and the Heron. It's a gorgeous movie, with a lot of imagination and great scenes, but as a whole movie, I thought that it didn't hold up to the standard of Ghibli. There is little to no exploration of the characters, no real plot to speak of, and a surprising lack of poetry. A beautiful movie with little substance. Also, Miyazaki's most personal movie ? Really ? When The Wind Rises exists ? Porco Rosso ? Castle in the Sky ? Overall, a decent movie, but still a disappointment for a Miyazaki movie.
Well if it wasn’t for spider-man ATSV, i would say Black Clover: Sword of the wizard King was my 2023 film. That was a very hype ass hell movie. Would suggest to anyone who is an anime fan, black clover fan, or if someone wanting to get into Black Clover
The indie animation boom was the pinnacle of animation in 2023
Because they saw bigger studios cash in on animation after largely being ignored for some time until Into the Spiderverse (2018) changed everyone's minds and almost single handedly revived the genre.
Given the amount of interesting projects Sony Animation has up their sleeves, I think they’d pretty much the one dominanting the movie industry as of now
I recommend Lego Monkie kid it's great
Finally, someone brings up that show.
This Mario fan will come after you just kidding lol 😂 anyhoo I loved this movie so much so what if the movie doesn’t have a story it doesn’t have to it will always have a special place in my heart and I can’t wait for the sequel Mario movie= s tier in my opinion 😊❤️! Anyways great list!
14:11 are you telling me that hardcore snyderfans have been review bombing this wholesome Christmas special?
Because if so i‘m not suprised.
Synderverse fans are insane
Yeah i guess that makes sense
As someone who watched A Silent Voice in December and with it being my favorite piece of media ever made plus hearing a lot about Your Name I think ima add Suzume to my list.
twas a good year. Spiderpeople and string theory, commie chickens 2, pink haired woke shape-shifter, b i r d and child were all good.
13:33 WOW! Usually I like cussing but that caught me off guard.
Will 2024 be the year Cartoonshi makes the fabled Yakuza vid?
8 hours Yakuza Video essay 🔥🔥🔥
Elemental gave me a real big piece of humble pie. I watched the trailer like "oh fucking God, ANOTHER Romeo and Juliet story" only to watch it turn out to be not that generic.
Remember when we thought that Ruby Gillman would be a great, heartfelt story that would continue Dreamworks’ pattern of kicking Disney’s butt in theatres, and that Elemental would be far inferior… yeah….
This really shows to me how little movies i've seen last year
Thank you for dissing demon slayers story.
A movie ranking video? By Cartoonshi? In 2024? Hell yeah!
Spider verse is overrated movie, but...Its okay?
I really liked Suzume, i went into the cinema blind(ok it's a Shinkai movie i kinda knew what i was in for) and really enjoyed it though i made a joke to myself about a minute in and inadvertently called the end reveal, Mario was very mid and i wish it did more with it's characters, like i really liked the Peach backstory scene but wish it went on longer, And yeah Spider-Verse was great and I'm really hyped to see a certain character they've confirmed will appear.
I haven't watched the monkey King yet but when it comes to a retelling of the journey to the east I recommend sayuki because I think it's actually pretty good
Somehow Sega wants to ruin yakuza they are pay walling new game plus and other features
Spiderverse animators getting that MAPPA treatment.
i'm from poland so imma talk about the peasants
went there because school wanted us to do it BECAUSE it's based off of a book we have to read at some point of high school education
while the artstyle goes hard, the actual movie was... alright
the story is basically "everyone wants either land or to bang the MC"
that one fight scene was interesting, but the movie is kinda nothing story-wise
yeah it's talking about the issue of misogyny and objectification of woman, and the ending really made me wanna hate every single character aside from the MC
The only bad thing about this movie is the fact that it reminded me of Bridget's theme from Strive 💀 something I never thought I'd be saying about a Guilty Gear song 😭
What movie are you Talking about?
the Mario movie made me hate the 1st sonic movie even more (but not the 2nd)
Mutant Mayhem definitely deserves to be a lot higher. Pretty disappointing list over all. Very pretentious video.
"Mutant Mayhem deserves to be higher" is an insane thing to say when accusing someone of being pretentious over opinions you dorkass loser.
@tabris95 You clicked on this video to hear his opinion. He explained clearly why he doesn't rate Mutant Mayhem that high. Although some people think over wise; Spider-verse like animation (Alone) isn't enough for a movie to be above average. I also thought the story in TMNTMM was kinda lacking (you gonna harass me for having that opinion too!?!)
Why can't you just enjoy the movie. Over-wise craft a in depth video essay; that explains why you think it's really good. Because calling people (and their video) pretentious or disappointing, just because you disagree with them, is rude and unacceptable.
the reason the peasants is animated is because the book was released in a polish impressionist period, and the entire movie is inspired by era-appropriate paintings. there are a few scenes that are exact redraws of famous impressionist polish paintings and I assume the whole idea of the movie stemmed from that. very pleasantly surprised to see it here btw!
ATSV was my favorite movie of 2023🕷️
Great ❤
The Boy and the Heron was my favorite pretty easily, and that’s half because it’s absolutely remarkable and half because I am unfortunately still one of the people who cannot understand all of the hype surrounding ATSV. I loved it too, don’t get me wrong, but…it’s half of a full story. It’s a complete movie, yes, but not a complete story. And that second half? It might be bad. Or it might just never come out. If either of those futures occur, ATSV is made significantly worse in retrospect.
And before anyone claims that you can’t judge earlier installments as lesser because of a bad conclusion, seriously attempt to watch and enjoy Game of Thrones again.
I thought I was the only one who thought Mutant Mayhem's meta references were kinda obnoxious. Not saying the film is bad, but the first half was definitely dragged down by how many "wink wink nudge" moments there were.
THANK YOU for calling people out for gassing up ILLUMINATION of all studios
Like it genuinely baffled me how so many people were saying that Illumination were SOMEHOW better than pixar after one overhyped move
waiwaiwait, he was serious about nimona? fr?
Yes, these are my thoughts and not yours.
@@Cartoonshi okey dude. I was just surprised, no offense
Amazing list my friend! Glad to see Spider-Verse getting such this spot as predictable as is is great seeing legacy! Great video ☺️
I clicked this video to see Wish at the bottom of the tier. Did not disappoint 🙏
Nice surprise. Never expected a ranking from you.
cool vids shi (:
(is shi a good nickname ?...)
seeing you put spider verse on top was a relief i was so scared HEHEHEH
have a great day
My top 3 animated movies of 2023
1. Super Mario movie- I’m a huge Mario fan I loved the scenes the characters it just warmed my heart especially the Mario and Luigi scenes 😊❤💚!!!
2. Spider man across the multiverse- it was so epic I absolutely loved miles as a character the scenes were amazing 🤩!
3. Nimona- amazing movie with epic story and characters!
The "Scrappy Doo Found Dead in Miami" reference was beautiful.
I’m honestly amazed that I never heard of merry little Batman until watching this.🐱
okay, i just watched the boy and the heron, and i could not make HEADS OR TAILS of the plot?????? why do i feel like it's overrated???? i loved the art, as always, but at the end of the movie, i was left scratching my head. this film didn't feel "raw". this has to be miyazaki's most confusing movie even more than howl's moving castle, at least that movie felt more emotional, here, it's just.... things happening, mahito feels so static as a character. believe me, i'm a studio ghibli fan, and i was extremely disappointed with this. i don't get what people like cartoonshi see in this movie, am i missing something???? please tell me! i want to know!
Not technically animated, but it basically is.
Hundreds of Beavers. It’s an absolutely insane slapstick comedy of a man becoming a fur trapper. The reason I say it’s basically animated is due to how much of it takes place on green screens. It uses actors in animal costumes and puppets throughout. Seriously, don’t let the look distract you. I know it looks dumb on the surface, but this is one of the smartest written films I’ve seen. So many gags happen and continue to come back and evolve as the film goes on. It is a genuine masterpiece and it needs more love.
I need to spread the word for this because it's important and individual that was targeted, my favorite UA-camr Chazington have to forced to put down his Video's because of the False "Copyright" claims by a deranged infamous disturbed Individual who tried impersonate him.
...known as, Crash bandicoot.
So much good and bad and I love that there is so many unique takes too.
I couldn't stand ATSV as a sequel but I definitely do respect that so many people love it and I am happy for those who did love it.
On the other side, I loved the Mario movie where others can't stand it. I just always find a wider variety of perspectives interesting.
6:23 Yeah I don't know why Superfly's team turned on him so quickly especially Bebop and rocksteady like Bebop and rocksteady are usually supposed to be slaves working for Shredder they're usually one of the bad guys but why are they living with the turtles now?
You should do a video where you talk about all the animated shows you watched this year.
29:28. Okay, wow. no need for personal attacks.
I'll never understand the hype for Suzume
22:21 WHAT? THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT EARLY MAN???
wtf happened at 32:45
