7/10
Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation (1992) Mat Brunet I won’t say that this movie made me feel like being a kid on summer break, but as a movie based on an animated series that went straight to video, it’s the kind of seasonal fun that you’d expect from the Tiny Toons.

Anastasia (1997) Mat Brunet It took Don Bluth and Gary Goldman several movies to get their groove back throughout the 1990s, but with this film...they created one of the most memorable animated musicals of its decade.

Zootopia 2 (2025) Mat Brunet Zootopia 2 may not have been a masterpiece like its predecessor, but it still came out strong enough to be an emotionally entertaining animated feature on its own.

In Your Dreams (2025) Mat Brunet I won’t say that this is Netflix’s animated big deal like what they made it out to be, but it did provide an experience that felt somewhat like a pleasant dream.

Allegro non Troppo (1976) Mat Brunet Sure, it may not be as much of a masterpiece as the Disney film, but it’s still worth giving an honor the movie that made Bruno Bozzetto an animation legend.

The Twits (2025) Mat Brunet You won’t be getting the shrinks if you watch this movie, but with how mild this can be, your memory of experiencing this afterwards will most likely shrink quickly into nothingness.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Mat Brunet There are several movies that can be considered The Greatest Animated Film of All Time, but there’s a reason why Snow White is the only feature that is also known as The One That Started it All.

Alien (1979) Mat Brunet They'll save all the complexities for what you see visually, but in terms of the premise, all it needs is just a monster, a spaceship, a bunch of people, and let things fly out as it is, especially with the focus on the survival aspect.

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) Mat Brunet I wouldn’t say that this movie is a stroke of genius, but I definitely enjoyed watching it as much as I did when I was young.

Fixed (2025) Mat Brunet Fixed is nothing more than a novelty movie. A simple feature mainly meant to provide a big load of R-rated raunchy humor. Outside of that, there’s not much else that the film offers.

The Bad Guys 2 (2025) Mat Brunet Their second heist wasn’t as spectacular as some may hope for, but that doesn’t mean that the sequel was bad at all.

Smurfs (2025) Mat Brunet I can’t help but wonder how could the film have smurfed up so badly?

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Mat Brunet Mixing KPop with demon hunting is already crazy enough, but with the additional combination of the Spider-Verse films, Turning Red and magical girl animes, you end up with a movie that is capable of slaying.

Phineas and Ferb: The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension (2011) Mat Brunet Unlike Perry’s mission to stop Doofenshmirtz and save the Tri-State area, there’s no secret that you’ll have a fun time with this movie, no matter which dimension you’re in.

Elio (2025) Mat Brunet Elio is a touching animated feature that takes the concept of the question “Are we alone?” and evolve it into an emotional adventure that Pixar knows how to deliver best.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Mat Brunet 2025’s How to Train Your Dragon is more like 1998’s Psycho. A remake that puts all of its efforts to be the same as the film it was based on where it ultimately makes itself feel meaningless.

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Mat Brunet It’s a side order to the 2022 film [Prey], but it can still be its own killer of a movie.

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) Mat Brunet Monsters vs. Aliens attempted to be a tribute to those classic sci-fi/horror movies, but it feels more like a mainstream mess than have any of that campy charm.

Disney's Snow White (2025) Mat Brunet The 2025 remake of Disney’s Snow White is not the cinematic disaster that many expected this to be, but it doesn’t help the reputation of these live-action remakes either.

Hoodwinked! (2005) Mat Brunet I often like to call this the best movie with the worst animation. It looks terrible, but the film itself is great nonetheless.

Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One (2000) Mat Brunet It may not be the kind of explosive movie as its Japanese title suggests or be able to impress people as a film on its own, but as a Pokémon fan, Lugia’s big-screen debut is a fun blast from the past.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) Mat Brunet It’s safe to say that Sonic fans will love this movie, and if you enjoyed the last two Sonic films, then the third will definitely be worth a watch.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Mat Brunet Mufasa the Lion King is slightly better than the 2019 remake, but on its own, it’s an animated feature that is almost good, but not enough to feel like the experience was fully worthwhile.

Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019) Mat Brunet This is a movie that’s meant to show off a cool crossover with a lot of action. It knows what it wants to be, and does exactly that. Nothing more.

The Secret of NIMH (1982) Mat Brunet The Secret of NIMH is an animated feature that has every right to be called a masterpiece. Just about every element of this picture is amazingly crafted to present how animation can truly be a storytelling medium.

Despicable Me 4 (2024) Mat Brunet When it comes to Despicable Me’s fourth movie, I won’t call this great. I won’t even call this the best of the film series, but I won’t say that I felt tired of it after watching this either.
