What movies are coming out this year? I have heard of Prince Of Persia(wich sounded Really good)But that is it.
Any others?
-
Off the top of my head, I know Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, the new Shrek movie, the new Robin Hood movie, and hopefully the first part of Harry Potter 7 are coming out this year.

How can you forget about This movie ;D THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOawKqRvr8s#)

How can you forget about THIS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/) movie ;D
Wow, forgot about that. Maybe because it's coming out in December and I haven't seen any movie previews for it yet.
-
A-Team :)
Love the new trailer but BA drops an H bomb so I can't post it.
Most of what interests me is already mentioned but I'd like to add The Last Airbender, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and the sequel to Cats and Dogs.
... shut up.
-
and the sequel to Cats and Dogs.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHHAHA!
... shut up.
Oh. Sorry.
-

+1 I can't wait for the last airbender, it looks fantastic, But I need a preview with Toph, for Toph is awesome, cool, and about 9001% wyn.
-
+1 Toph had better be legit, otherwise it will be complete fail.
-
Predators...YES!
...and the sequel to Cats and Dogs.
... shut up.
If the dogs win I'll sit patiently with my wife and watch it.
-
The original Cats and Dogs came out when I was 25, not 27, but yes, I was over the age of 9 and I watched it willingly. The Russian Blue was awesome, and Mr. Tinkles was every Bond villain spoofed wonderfully ("Evil does not wear a bonnet!")
The turn of the century was s surprising renaissance for live-action family (read: children's) movies. Spy Kids and Big Fat Liar came out around the same time as Cats and Dogs and I liked those also.
Toph is awesome, cool, and about 9001% wyn.
Hey! That's over nine thooouuu-saaaaaaannnnddd!!!!!
This might be a bad time to mention that I did not find Toph's name listed in the credits when I checked them just now.
-
I am very much looking forward to Dawn Treader and Robin Hood.
And I have to agree with Shaef, Cats and Dogs was enjoyable...
...when I was like ten. :P

Can't wait for Robin Hood, looking forward to Dawn Treader and Iron Man 2, and Prince of Persia sounds interesting. Good movies this summer. :)
-
Sadly schaef, I fear you may be right :(

That might have stung more if that didn't happen to be about how old you were when the movie was actually in the theaters :p

Oh yeah I forgot about Toy Story3 , And there is going to be a new Robin Hood? And has anyone seen -
How to Train your Dragon ? Is it good?

And has anyone seen -
How to Train your Dragon ? Is it good?
Yes, it was a very good animated movie. I'd say it was almost even comparable to UP!

I take it you haven't seen it?
-
I haven't seen it but come on, you're talking about Up here. Dragon's probably good, but "Up" good? Maybe "Kung Fu Panda" good but "Up" good is a high bar to reach.
-
Nah, I've seen both - Dragons is for sure near UP. One of the best animated movies I've seen in years.
-
I saw Dragon. It's pretty good for Dreamworks, but it's no Up. I'd put it more on par with Monsters, Inc.
I want to see Dawn Treader, Inception, and maybe Scott Pilgrim. Maybe Toy Story 3 if it won't ruin my memories of the first two. And Hookwinked Too, if they ever decide to release it.
-
I haven't seen it but come on, you're talking about Up here. Dragon's probably good, but "Up" good? Maybe "Kung Fu Panda" good but "Up" good is a high bar to reach.
Seriously. Up is almost as good as Finding Nemo.
-
Dragon is somewhere between UP and Kung Fu Panda I would say...

I actually have them almost even. I put Up a little bit higher because I have a golden retriever, not a fish.
-
The Incredibles is the pinnacle for me, and hovering somewhere in the top five are Ratatouille, Iron Giant, Kung Fu Panda and The Secret of Nimh. Up is my "sixth man" and if Dragon is somewhere in the conversation with that, then I guess I should go see it.
Sorry to all Nemo and Monsters Inc. fans (I loved Monsters Inc, btw, also directed by Up's Pete Docter) but I didn't like them as much as the aforementioned.
-
i'm not much for pixar although incredables rocked.
-
Incredibles was good, and I have yet to see Kung Foo Panda and How to Train your Dragon.
-
Hold on - You have the Secret of Nimh above Nemo and Monsters? I mean, yeah the animation was decent, but the story was horrific.
-
... I have yet to see Kung Foo Panda ...
Seriously? I've seen that like 10 times, it's awesome! Well, if you still haven't seen it by August 11, I'm bringing it in RDT's van...
-
Hold on - You have the Secret of Nimh above Nemo and Monsters? I mean, yeah the animation was decent, but the story was horrific.
Truth be told, the story was tragic, but I also enjoyed it.

Top 10 Animated Movies:
1 - The Incredibles - cool super powers, but normal family issues
2 - Up - both fantastical, yet with amazingly poignant reality
3 - Finding Nemo - awesome mix of humor, sweetness, and significance
4 - Monsters Inc. - characters you love, and funny repeat viewings
5 - Toy Story - who hasn't dreamed of their toys coming to life
6 - Shrek - really turned animated movies upside down
7 - Beauty and the Beast - the pinnacle of the traditional Disney movie
8 - Jungle Book - almost 50 years old, and still worth watching repeatedly
9 - Peter Pan - over 50 years old, but never grew up
10 - Ice Age - one of the funniest animated movies ever
-
No Lion King or Aladdin? :O
-
Seriously! Mulan was also pretty great.
-
as far as music goes, Anastasia takes the cake. mainly because of In The Dark of the Night. best. song. ever.
-
No love for Bambi?
-
No Lion King or Aladdin? :O
Those were good, but just don't seem as good with repeated viewings as the ones I listed.
Seriously! Mulan was also pretty great.
as far as music goes, Anastasia takes the cake. mainly because of In The Dark of the Night. best. song. ever.
Mulan and Anastasia were both OK.
No love for Bambi?
Bambi is of course a classic, but really seems rather simplistic compared to the others.
-
Interesting thing about me: Aside from crying out of pain or sadness, I find myself on rare ocassions “crying” (at least, eyes watering) due to a rather indescribable feeling which pretty much only intense Disney music - especially from the Lion King era - can offer. That said, these are my top favorite animated musicals (ordered by musical quality):
1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (The Bells of Notre Dame, God Help the Outcasts, Hellfire, A Guy Like You, Den of Thieves...*chills*)
2. The Prince of Egypt (All I Ever Wanted, Heaven's Eyes, Deliver Us)
3. Aladdin (Arabian Nights, One Jump Ahead, Friend Like Me, Prince Ali)
4. The Road to El Dorado (opening song, The Trail We Blaze, It's Tough to Be a God)
5. Pocahontas (Mine Mine Mine, Just Around the River Bend, Savages, Colors of the Wind)
6. Hercules (The Gospel Truth, I Can Go the Distance, One Last Hope)
7. The Little Mermaid (Under the Sea, Poor Unfortunate Souls)
8. The Lion King (The Circle of Life, Be Prepared)
9. Mulan (Reflection, I'll Make a Man Out of You, A Girl Worth Fighting For)
10. Anastasia (Once Upon a December, Journey to the Past, In the Dark of the Night)
11. Spirit (Can't Take Me...the rest all sound the same, but they're pretty good)
12. Home on the Range (Little Patch of Heaven, and the yodeling song is amazing; thought this was worth mentioning because this was like the last decent 2D-Animated movie made)
With the 3D craze and all, Disney really just doesn't make 'em like they used to. It's still king, but in a slightly less musical Pixar way.
-
I despise Disney. Sure, they made some good movies back in the good ol' days, but everything they turn out now is meh and bratty.

And also, produced by their "B" animation studio in Florida, the same guys who did Mulan, while the "A" guys were busy running the animation franchise into the ground.
Buying Pixar was the best thing Disney had done in a generation, because even though Pixar gets to keep their brand and do their own thing, John Lasseter is now basically in charge of all Disney animation. IMO their product has improved since then, and the direct-to-video schlock franchising has diminished substantially.

Yup!!!! I saw it , and I loved it :D

If you consider completely realistic vodoo, demons, people being dragged to hell begging for their life while making promises so the demons won't kill them, and other such things "good". It deeply unsettled me, My parents had to cover my younger siblings eyes because of how it was. How in the world it pulled a G rating is BEYOND me. Guess the world considers demons child appropriate now.

I just saw it.
How to Train Your Dragon is not UP! good, but that's because the Carl & Ellie life sequence in UP! puts it beyond all competition. I would place How to Train Your Dragon near or on the same tier as The Incredibles and Iron Giant. Probably slightly lower than those, but in the same discussion.
-

That is so true. This is the most amazing 4:21 in animated film history.Disney Pixar Up - Married Life - Carl & Ellie by Michael Giacchino - The cut from BluRay disc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GroDErHIM_0#)
-
My best animated movies list based on pure subjectivity and my own opinion:
1. Up!
2. Up! again
3. The Prince of Egypt
4. The Incredibles
4.5. Wall-E (I can't believe I forgot that one)
5. The Lion King
6. The Emperor's New Groove
7. Anastasia
8. Mulan (close, though)
9. Toy Story 2 (Toy Story never made me cry, the song with Jesse and her girl does, so don't get on my case for 2 over 1)
10. Titan A.E.
-
1. Up (That sequence alone pwns everything else ever attempted, plus the best film of '09)
2. Bambi (It's more impressive than you think, and the best film phenomenology until Toy Story)
3. Wall-E (There were 20 minutes without dialogue. Best Sound Design EVER.)
4. Toy Story 2
5. Finding Nemo
6. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
7. The Incredibles
8. Toy Story
9. The Lion King
10. Iron Giant
11. Beauty and the Beast
12. Hoodwinked! (My personal favorite)
13. Fantasia
14. The Emperor's New Groove
15. Ice Age (Don't like that it's the beginning of a franchise, it would've been much higher if self-contained, as Toy Story was)

WHOA WHOA WHOA slow down, Skippy. Let's back off the Brad Bird a little bit here with our Dragon praise. You don't mess with The Brad.
SK makes a better point than advertised with Bambi. Yes, the story makes you want to rake out your eyeballs with shrimp forks, but that's only because we are manly men. Bambi was a grossly underrated phenomenon in its time, especially in the art direction. Never mind for now the realistic depiction of various forest animals in motion, take your eyes off the characters for a while and just take in the backgrounds. What's amazing is how LITTLE detail is shown there, that the lines are soft and the imagery is quasi-impressionistic. This approach blends in to the viewer's eye and makes it FEEL a lot more like a forest than any hyper-realistic detail animation could achieve (I'm looking at you, Farcry engine games).
Part of what makes the no-dialogue scene in Up! work so well is Michael Giacchino's amazing score. I've enjoyed this guy since Alias, and I loved the Alias-meets-007 work he did on The Incredibles. But he's been scoring A LOT of films lately, and he is quickly moving up to James Horner territory on my list of beloved film composers.
There's another scene like this in Star Trek, of all films. In the opening sequence, when Kirk's mother is giving birth and they're trying to evacuate and such, there's all this chaos and noise and such, and she's delivering and she cries out and that just fades out almost all the sound. There's just a tiny bit of sound left for the next minute or so, and Giacchino's score just swells up and it is such a gorgeous moment in film even though it's in space with lasers and such. And his father is getting ready to scuttle the ship and you hear this baby cry, and that just rang out in the theater, and that's when they fade the sound back in and start up the dialogue again. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. Props to Abrams' sound design team for that scene but it does not work without Giacchino's amazing music.

WHOA WHOA WHOA slow down, Skippy. Let's back off the Brad Bird a little bit here with our Dragon praise. You don't mess with The Brad.
Have you heard of Bird? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons. The Brad is such a piker that he only hold two spots in my top five animated movies of all time.
For me the thing that stands out the most is that in a technical sense the two Bird films are the best films in their respective genres. If you want amazing computer animation watch the lighting and shadows in The Incredibles when Dash is running through the jungle. In the Iron Giant there's not one bit of animation that is out of place or fails to support the story in mood or theme.
Anyway, my current top 5. The last may drop down upon further reflection.
1. The Little Mermaid Because the first sip of water after crossing the Sahara is the sweetest drink of all.
2. UP! The Schaef is correct about the Giacchiano's score, but pretty much everything in the film is pitch perfect.
3.a. The Iron Giant. He is Superman.
3.b. The Incredibles. The title is the best review of the movie.
4. How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks shows they can deliver something on par with the best of Disney/Pixar.

- Monsters vs Aliens,
- Ice Age 3
- Coraline
- Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

In the entire period I was growing up I had what today would be considered direct to DVD fodder (The Rescuers), and two moderately ok films: The Fox and the Hound, and The Black Cauldron.

The Black Cauldron is legit. Fox and the Hound is also a classic.

Did Ratatouille not stand out as much for you?
-

True, but The Fox and the Hound is a classic on the level of The Aristocats. The Little Mermaid could hold its own compared to pretty much any Disney film.
out of all of those, I only watched Up!, but I'll probably get around to seeing Monsters vs Aliens, Cloudy with a Chance, and possibly Princess and the Frog.
I would recommend The Fantastic Mr. Fox over the last three.

Bleh--everyone knows that Jan Pinkava was the driving force behind Ratatouille. ;) .
Seriously, Ratatouille is wonderful. The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, however, are superlative. To be honest, I'm not even certain that Ratatouille was the best Disney movie of 2007. This is a serious contender for the crown...

Ugh Enchanted was horrible! Worst Disney movie of all time. Now this is not a guy rant against musicals... this is a "I miss the old days of Lion King and Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast" rant. The face of Disney went from Mufassa to Miley Cyrus in 10 years. And that's not okay with me.

You'll have to hear the "rest of the story" to understand what happened:
When Disney lost Katzenberg to Dreamworks SKG (He's the "K"), Disney put out some poor performing animated movies - Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Atlantis, etc.. Their relationship with newcomer Pixar kept their animated division above water financially. Overall, however, Disney was hurting like it never had before. Their takeover of ABC complicated things even more because their television revenue was also dropping. They simply were not putting out the money-making characters like in the old days.
One solution that worked for Disney was taking the chief of the profitable TV franchise ABC Family and giving her control of all TV franchises. She came up with some of the most popular (and profitable) Disney characters of the time with Lizzy Maguire and Kim Possible, by targetting a preteen girl audience. So overwhelming was the response (and profit) that Disney decided to take aim at this new target audience and their eager-to-please parents. What would soon follow was a new marketing scheme for Disney Princesses, Tinker Bell (and a whole new set of fairies), Hannah Montana, and the amazingly successful High School Musical series. Disney had found its prize and would exploit it until it is no longer profitable. That, however, seems unlikely since the money has rolled in so much that they are now rethemeing much of the Magic Kingdom to include the Disney Princesses and Disney Fairies franchises.
So, suffice it to say that Disney has no need for macho stars, since most young males are more interested in video games than spending money at Disney Parks. Disney will still do Pirate makeovers if boys are really interested, but they have a waiting list a mile long for the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo Shop, so marketing to young girls will be their primary focus for quite some time to come.
And now you know the rest of the story..... ;)

It looks like someone accidentally sprinkled some grumpy powder on his bowl of curmudgeon flakes this morning. Before anyone proclaims any movie the "Worst Disney movie of all time" they should be forced to watch a double header of Beverly Hills Chihuahua followed by College Road Trip.

Is "Snow Buddies" Disney? If so, that takes the worst ever slot.
-
"Space Buddies" was even worse.

Idk, does space buddies have praying to santa?

No, but it has a crazy Russian cosmonaut and the buddies walking on the moon.

YES! Exactly. When was Tom and Jerry? That is classic... every now and then I still catch it on Cartoon Network and make sure to watch it.
I just don't get tv these days... ICarly? Big Time Rush? What ever happened to Jimmy Neutron? Even Spongebob Squarepants isn't as often on Nickelodeon as it once was. Anyways, I'm just sick of having everything be "reality" this and "reality" that. Why does everything need conflict, sex and stupid jokes? Why can't you have a coyote fall off a cliff while chasing a roadrunner?
*gets off soap box*
Also Darkwing Duck made me think of the Mighty Ducks... that show as so awesome! ;D ;D ;D
-
spongebob is on plenty but around 12:00 pm on week days.(PST and EST)

Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Oddparents, Tom and Jerry...good times.

What bugs me is that TV shows are just getting perpetually worse, with no upturns. I don't understand. ...Perhaps this demographic is just not well represented enough....
-
R should be Road Runner. T should be Tom and Jerry.
-
Exhibit I - Invader Zim

Overrated.
-
R should be Road Runner. T should be Tom and Jerry.
Nope. Robotech and Transformers are respectively better.

Hey Arnold is bad fairly odd parents beat it bad.

So, suffice it to say that Disney has no need for macho stars, since most young males are more interested in video games than spending money at Disney Parks.
They're working the Kingdom Hearts angle for that, and Epic Mickey is on the way, so they'll get their dollars from all involved parties.

Everyone here should have G.I. Joe at the top of their list, even if they are too young to have seen the show, if for no other reason than it allowed us to have this:

Obviously there are some missing letters, but I challenge anyone to find a current cartoon that is better than the show above starting with the same letter.
That's going to be a bit difficult to do when you get to choose from all cartoons from the forties (Bugs Bunny) all the way up through those currently being produced today (The Simpsons) for your list.

1 - Bugs Bunny was still being shown in re-runs on Saturday Morning cartoons when I was growing up in the 80's
2 - The Simpsons was being shown when I was still growing up (High School) in the early 90's
3 - I watched all the shows on my list as I was growing up
4 - No show on my list was started in the last decade (I think)
5 - My point is that no cartoons started recently can compare to the cartoons I grew up with
-
Off the top of my head, I know Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, the new Shrek movie, the new Robin Hood movie, and hopefully the first part of Harry Potter 7 are coming out this year.
Yup, I checked, and Harry Potter is coming out in November 2010 !!!!

um, but that's not what we usually say...

Justice League (and Justice League Unlimited) was far and away superior to the version we got to grow up with--Super Friends. As a self-contained series Star Wars: Clone Wars can hold it's own with pretty much anything. Since kids today can still watch all of the cartoons (on the internet or one of three channels devoted exclusively to cartoons if not on network television) on your list and we have two (three) admirable additions, I guess that means that right now we are at the pinnacle of television cartoon history.
My point is that it is a bit unfair to generate a list from fifty years of movie (Bugs Bunny) and television cartoons and then use that to claim things aren't as good today as they were when you were a kid.
-
yeah superfriends wasn't that good i perfer justice leaugue ulnited...Wait how did you come up with that?(i like kypto the the super dog pretty good)
-
I also have to give props to the Ben 10 series (particularly Alien Force), and anything by Scott McCracken, including Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. And Powerpuff Girls.
Samurai Jack was also an awesome series, which is why I enjoyed the Clone Wars micro-cartoons so much: they were basically Star Wars meets Samurai Jack. For those wondering, that also seems to be the reason the current series looks the way it does, that they were mirroring the somewhat-blocky look of the micro-series. For example, having the hair kind of sitting on their head in a chunk rather than individual strands of hair blowing about like a Final Fantasy cutscene.

Basically every DC cartoon from the time they resurrected Batman in the early 90s are quality material. I'm even enjoying the Batman one-offs that they're doing now where he teams up with the Lantern Corps or Blue Beetle or whomever. What's also ridiculous is that, for all the praise that the new Arkham Asylum game is getting for its gameplay and Batmanniness, the primary reason I want to play it at this time is because Batman and Joker are voiced by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Go figure.
-
The X-Men cartoon series in the mid 90s is one of the all time greatest cartoon shows! I almost forgot, did anyone ever watch Beast Wars? That show was way before its time. The animation was incredible, and I think Beast Wars was better than its counterpart Transformers!
-
Blasphemy!
-
I like how we're talking about TV shows instead of 2010 movies.
-
We covered all the good ones.

I Agree X men the original series was awesome but there is no way that beast wars was better then the original transformers. Did any one ever watch gargoyles?
-
I did, when it first came out I thought it was awesome, then it kinda got odd as it went on.

I wasn't allowed to watch most of the cartoons that were popular back when I was growing up. Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, etc. were all too violent for us. Basically, if it wasn't on PBS, it was unlikely we could watch it (some Nickelodeon was allowed) And even that was called into question when Wishbone did an episode about an African mystic folk tale...
And yet, I turned out all right.
-
Cuz wishbone is 100% wyn.

It was the reason I bought it and I was not disappointed with the voice acting. Though some of the swearing was a bit unnecessary. Guess you can't keep a prison full of crazies language from being 100% good.

violent? that stuff was tame compared to some things now.
-
True but back then it was VERY violent.
-
Power Rangers...good times...good times...
I always loved Digimon. I didn't get Pokemon on any of my stations...
Wishbone was amazing. as was Magic School Bus.
-
Got rid of some stuff before some other stuff hits some kind of a fan. A little collateral damage involved, sorry to those who are caught in the crossfire.
-
did you kill the pokemon stuff?

did you kill the pokemon stuff?

It wasn't offenive it was just the tv show.(pm me ring wraith)
