Animated Films of 2020: Worst to Best

[@Raph___A]

Remember when we wanted Sonic the Hedgehog to burn to the ground? To think if we didn't complain enough, the movie would've been the biggest flop since Super Mario Bros.

[@Everik-ct6pg]

Actually, i hated those times. I much prefer it getting genuine praise instead of throwing it into the sonic hate fire the internet loves to keep burning.

[@cintronproductions9430]

I'm really glad that they actually listened to the fans and made everyone happy by taking the time to fix Sonic, but to this day I still wonder who thought the old design was a good idea to begin with and what substances they were sniffing. XD

[@Everik-ct6pg]

@@cintronproductions9430 executives who listen to demographics instead of actual people. They know people like realism because of all the other live action cartoon adaptations, so they forced them to make sonic as realistic as possible, because they think cartoons don't sell well. Thankfully, we managed to make them change their minds.

[@nbewarwe]

@@cintronproductions9430 I'm still hanging on the theory that they intentionally made a bad design as a marketing stunt and kept the good design a secret until the movie got enough advertising from hate.

[@ALoversRose]

@@cintronproductions9430 My other favorite story is that the executives thought that because fans took the change of the TMNT well that Sonic fans "would not care too much" if they made Sonic look "realistic". I am so glad they listened to the fans.

[@WaymerBailslisk]

I just want people to know, Wolfwalkers has one of the ONLY postive represantations of people of the traveling community in Irish film, period. Maeve and her mother are both amazing reps for the community with the importance of their hair in their conversation and design, their accents, to their mode of transport at the end of the film and how they are shown as outsiders throughout the film. I’ve seen no media outlet talk about this, so I just wanted to chime in. Also Maeve is the best character hands down.

[@LuckySketches]

Is there a proper name for them? I only know the derogatory term that became an inoffensive word for "work on a machine" in other contexts. ...Which probably only works because internationally very many people have never heard of this group.

6:19 thank you for mentioning this nasty trend in Japanese romance movies. Extraverted girl tries to push an introverted guy out of his comfort zone because "she cares about him". I can't see why people perceive this type of behaviour as anything else than obnoxious and downright abusive.

[@dumpsterDeity]

No, really, I can't thank you enough. You're the first person I have ever heard to speak out about this. Last year I had a huge argument with my friends over "I want to eat your pancreas". They loved the movie, while I said that the relationship between the main duo had abusive undertones and was like, unsustainable beyond some shitty high-school romance. Not because she had little time left, but because how entitled to the guy's time and attention she behaved. And how much she was fixated on "fixing" him. I was like, girl, he's just not your type, ok? Don't need to force him out of the library, if you care about him, respect his comfort zone. It's your problem if he seems "wrong" to you. And guilt-tripping him on your first meeting with "I'm dying so stick to me" thing, what are you doing?? Is this guy your bucket list checkmark or is he a person? The biggest part that frustrated me is that the story never acknowledged these character flaws, and the girl was painted as an angel that came and saved the guy from misery before passing away. F that. Anyway, my friends didn't see it and the movie was universally loved so I eventually just shut up about it. Sorry for venting in your comments :D

[@user-dk4re2hu1s]

@@dumpsterDeity I hated A Whisker Away but I loved I want to eat your pancreas. To be frank, it was more of a coming of age since they did not really end up together at the end, though it was romantic and she just wanted to live her best life. The whole point was that she was to die. He could’ve just left and yelled if he hated it but he stuck around and hung with her. She dragged him along and since he was used to his mundane life, he didn’t object and when he did, he still decided to go with it. If he never wanted the trip, if he never cared, he would have never went on the train, he wouldn’t have cried, he wouldn’t have missed her, he wouldn’t have seen her mom, he wouldn’t have read her notebook, he wouldn’t have visited her grave. She wanted to be with him because he didn’t look down or treat her differently when she was ill. She was the bridge to his character development and change. He cared but never showed it until her untimely death. The boy had a shell that stopped his friendships. She was the one who cared and took him on adventures to show him how to treasure life. Her death showed that he cared after all when he cried. She was looking for a friend a person who would understand that she was about to die and would not pity her so they hung out. The part where she pretended to kiss him and he pinned her down? They got into an argument. They never romanticized that. A whisker away full on made her a stalker, AND she received no development, just the guy. In pancreas, she left and he was able to form a relationship with her best friend. He thanked her for helping him because of the journeys and learning to live with being able to befriend people like YLIA. She served a purpose in his life. He learned to make friends. I fail to see the abusive undertones because the relationship was fine?? Except for the only time they crossed the line, they clearly made it a bad thing. It really differs from a whisker away. It’s more like YLIA. It was a tsundere who developed and deredere female who taught them to come out of a hole they were stuck in. In a whisker away, it was a tsundere that CLEARLY did not like her presence (“but in the end it was because she liked me that she did creepy shit!”) and a creepy cat yandere who STALKED HIM.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

@@pemanilnoob idk I find it inherently kind of uncomfortable. By the way she describes it, I mean. If the main character is constantly going out of her way to make the boy she has a crush on uncomfortable, then that’s honestly really gross. I get that Japan is a different culture, and I’m a westerner with very different views, but stalking your crush because you “love him” and “just want to spend time with him” is weird. Maybe actually watching the movie would give me a different view. But the way I see it now... it’s just weird. I feel like if you switched the genders people would probably find it kind of sus.

My list of movies I watched: 1- Soul - A great movie that discusses death to celebrate life and has great messages about trauma and dreams. I’m really mixed about the ending but I think I would have the same opinion if it didn’t happen. 2- We Bare Bears The Movie is a perfect ending of the series with a great message of inclusion and I really wasn’t expecting it to be a immigration allegory (even though the show had some heavy themes throughout) but it had some annoying and outdated memes jokes 3- Candace against the Universe - A great revival of the series with an amazing writing and totally unexpected character growth for the lead character 4- Onward - Not amazing but pretty fun movie 5- JLD: Apokolips War - I love the main characters arcs but I don’t like that all the undeveloped characters died in 5 minutes so they never got proper arcs of their own. Even though I really liked the ending I reallythink Flash should’ve done something in this movie prior to the ending (and it’s pretty obvious that it was going to be another Teen Titans and Batman movie but they decided to end the continuity) 6- Ben 10 vs The Universe The Movie has a great arc for Ben, Kevin and Vilgax. I can’t believe how great Vilgax is in this reboot. However, it has almost the exact same plot as Secret of the Omnitrix which for me is the greatest Ben 10 story of all and it has some improvements but is mostly not as good. If you are not a fan (which I obviously am) you probably won’t like it but even people who hated the reboot seem to like this movie and I think it’s because Ben 10 doesn’t really work in 11 minutes episodes so a movie is great for this type of series. Pretty great year I’m looking foward to watch Wolfwalkers, Spongebob, Scooby, the DC ones and the one with the siblings I’m really dying to see the Mitchells vs the Connected Mchines already (Why there were 2 movies based on 2000s cartoons named Character X the universe?)

Onward! One of my favorite Pixar’s EVER. I know it’s very underrated, and maybe it may not seem as masterful as ratatouille or up, but it just is such a fun adventure with very talented voice actors.
