1.The Bad Guys
DreamWorks’s latest installment, The Bad Guys was based on a book series of the same name and followed Sam Rockwell’s Wolf and his gang as they attempted to move past their evildoing ways in order to escape imprisonment for their many thefts, cons, and other crimes. The film exemplified a brand new style of animation for the studio and was met with high praise. The Bad Guys was a fun movie that delivered a great moral to its young audiences and was a genuine delight for its older viewers.
2.Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers
As Disney continues to market toward their meta-loving fanbase, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers not only fed the nostalgia of those longing for the 1980s cartoon of the same name but incorporated characters and references to dozens of other Disney-owned franchises for the general masses’ entertainment as well. The movie starring Andy Samberg as a 3-dimensional Dale and John Mulaney as his traditionally-animated estranged companion Chip was adored by old fans, new fans, and individuals who love a good self-deprecating joke about animation.
3.Turning Red
