True story of Andy's mom (Toy Story mind asplosion)

[Perpetual Change]

Over the Hedge is my favorite animated movie by far.

[ariich]

Very happy to be seeing some love for Over the Hedge! It never got much attention when it came out, but it's probably my favourite from Dreamworks. The humour is fantastic, and the story is really sweet (if a little predictable).

I work retail and we sell The Croods like crazy; everyone says it's really good. I have yet to see it, though.

And overall, How to Train Your Dragon is pretty great too.

Haven't seen either of these, but I really want to see Dragon as it's generally very highly thought of.

My favorite part about most Pixar movies is that they aren't pandering. They are just genuinely entertaining to adults and kids alike.

[Kotowboy]

I found most Dreamworks films just shove in loads of big names to do voices instead of crafting a great story.

The Croods was pretty good.  I watched it against my will, but it was a lot better than I expected.

So can we just rename this the Animated Films Discussion Thread now?

Dreamworks has always been hit and miss with me. There's a few hidden gems hidden amongst some serious mediocrity, while Pixar managed to pump out hit after hit.

Looking at the Wiki page for DreamWorks, they've made a lot of movies I love; El Dorado, Megamind, How To Train Your Dragon, Sinbad (seriously underrated), Kung Fu Panda, ect. 

Pretty good track record, as far as I'm concerned.

Megamind was pretty good despite the criticisms it got. Not a perfect film, but really enjoyable and interesting. All the others you mentioned are also high on my list.

Some of the more mediocre films they've put out, in my book, would be pretty much any Shrek-related movie after the second, Shark Tale and Monsters vs. Aliens to name a few. I haven't seen Rise of the Guardians yet, or the Croods so I really can't comment on those.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I liked Shrek 1 and 2 alright, never saw any of the others. Also, I liked Monsters vs. Aliens.

[ThatOneGuy2112]

It had its moments for sure, and it definitely wasn't the worst Dreamworks movie I'd seen, but overall I just couldn't get into it. Nothing about it stood out too terribly for me.

Can't forget Madagascar....but then u might be biased because I love the Penguins.

How to Train Your Dragon is probably one of my favorite animated movies ever.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Probably Treasure Planet for me, but they're pretty close.

[ThatOneGuy2112]

The Iron Giant for me. Spectacular in every way.

[Dark Castle]

Princess Mononoke or Howl's Moving Castle for myself.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Oh, duh! I forgot about Miyazaki! Castle In The Sky would definitely be up there for me.

[ThatOneGuy2112]

It's obligatory, but Spirited Away remains my favorite Miyazki film. Howl's Moving Castle is a close second.

[Dark Castle]

I hate rating Miyazaki's movies because they're all so great

[TheVoxyn]

i'm getting a bit bored of the whole "everything in the same universe" thing going around.

Someone is dressed as Yoda in ET and George Lucas put in some ET in Star Wars as an obvious joke / homage / nugget.

So that turns into ET is a Jedi !!!!1!!!ONE

Ridley Scott is saying that Blade Runner is in the same universe as Alien..

It's not cool or exciting tbh. It's a bit unimaginative. You're not gonna see Deckard fighting a Xenomorph.

Welcome to typical online clickbait articles.

Basically, cool theories or observations under sensational titles like "This Will Change The Way You Think About (movie title) Forever!"

Best plugin, removes the hyperbole.

Though my favorite movie will always be Watership Down.

[rumborak]

Watching Toy Story 3 right now. Now there's a movie that is not meant for kids.

And now I have to see Over the Hedge.

I found most Dreamworks films just shove in loads of big names to do voices instead of crafting a great story.

Yeah, they have put out quite a few rather disposable movies that were just riding on contemporary fads and actors. Shark Tale is awful awful, and Shrek 3 too.

  Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke - which one should I see next ?


And I vote Akira for my favourited animated movie.

[Dark Castle]

Howl's Moving Castle is the shiznat
Ponyo is so delightful and beautiful
Kiki's Delivery Service is boom bang bada radular
as is My Neighbor Totoro
