Animated

Independent and art-house animated films that otherwise don't fit existing categories.

Across the Spider-Verse

An incredible sequel, an impressive new first chapter, and one hell of a visual smorgasbord!

Arcane

A phenomenal opening salvo to the wider world of Runeterra, with incredible animation and exceptional character depth.

Centaur World

Loveable weirdness with some surprisingly fun gimmicks and dark undertones.

Encanto

Overly saccharine at times (even for Disney), but beautifully animated, excellently paced, packs one hell of an emotional gut punch, and contains some brilliant songs.

Extinct

A fine movie for kids, with some adorable and surprisingly funny creature design, but a fairly paper-thin plot.

Invincible

Well crafted, with a solid finale, but somehow lacking in the character depth needed to truly capture your attention.

Luck!

A by-the-numbers kids' film with some fun (albeit little explored) ideas and some excellent physical comedy.

Nimona

A wonderfully vibrant world and poignant tale make for an instant classic. Add in beautiful animation, an excellent cast, and some good gags, and I had a ball!

Over the Hedge

Surprisingly coherent and fun. It doesn't do anything that original, but as a rehash of Toy Story meets Oceans Eleven it kinda works.

Ron's Gone Wrong

A fun meta comedy on childhood in the age of apps, with an excellent central character in Ron.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

A beautiful, exquisitely crafted film that just happens to also be one of the best superhero movies ever made. Funny, touching, and endlessly innovative with a soundtrack that lives up to the hype.

Strange World

A little on the nose, but beautifully designed and an excellent message.

The Croods

Fun creatures and a simple, yet consistent story make for an enjoyable ride 

The Lego Movie 2

A slightly weak and muddled opening act that eventually finds its feet and sticks a solid landing.

The Mitchells vs The Machines

Utterly inventive, brilliantly funny, and beautifully crafted. The central plot is a little by-the-numbers, but everything else is as original as they come, and the movie shines as a result.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Great action and fun ideas, if a little muddled at times, with some interesting accents.

What If..?

A wonderful collection of ideas with some surprisingly dark moments and a finale that was much more interesting than I'd ever have guessed.

Wolf Walkers

Spellbinding animations, a beautiful soundtrack, and a heartfelt story. Stunning!
