2023 overall was one of the better year for animated films. Spiderverse will definitely have an effect on the industry for at least the rest of the decade.

@@joshuasgameplays9850Hell, it’s been an animation practice since Animation even began. It’s not a big deal as you think people, it’s been literally done countless times! Just look at Toy Story 2. Ugh, the internet’s full of Drama Kings.

Usually you give Disney a bit of leeway, not much to be clear, you're fair, but when perception of their films is more negative (such as Ralph Breaks the Internet) you tend not to swing quite so far as others might in that direction, so to see Wish lose to URKEL SAVES SANTA is a pretty stark statement of how bad Wish actually is. I genuinely think Chicken Little and Home on the Range might have more actual outright fans than Wish does at this point...
I agree because Chicken Little and Home on the Range are absolute shitshow movies so bad that they can absolutely gain an ironic cult following whereas Wish I feel has absolutely nothing to hold onto and it’s just an absolute nothing burger
I didn't even know people didn't like home on the range, till now 😅 to be fair I mainly listen to the german Audioplay. I only saw the movie once or twice.
To be honest, I’m often in the same boat as her when it comes to recent Disney. For instance I honestly really like Raya and the Last Dragon and think it is really overhated despite it’s flaws and with the other non-Encanto films in recent years like Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen 2 and Strange World, Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely not great films by any means and I’m not going to fully defend them but I do think they have genuinely good qualities that make them in my opinion nowhere near as bad as everyone makes them out to be. So even with all that being said, even I agree that I did not like Wish whatsoever and consider it my least favourite Disney animated film since Chicken Little. I honestly think Cellspex doesn’t get enough credit as a great movie and animation reviewer and should be more well known.
it's important to remember that many (most?) of chicken little and HotR's fans are due to nostalgia from those who grew up with those movies. wish hasn't had that opportunity yet since it just came out.
@@reddeath5791 Throughout my childhood, I loved Chicken Little and played the PS2 game relentlessly. All the criticism is deserved, but I honestly think it isn't a bad film. Wish is a bad film.
1:00:38 THANK YOU!! Nowadays I feel people are forgetting/not appreciating TMNT 2012 anymore and especially Sean Astin’s take on Raphael which in my opinion has been one of the best adaptations of Raphael in a long time, nailing his personality, personal struggles, flaws and attitude perfectly 👏
Came to the comments just to say SEAN ASTIN MENTION!!! 🙌🙌🙌 best Raph imho, he really did capture the angry, snarky teenage boy vibe SO well. No one comes close
1:00:52 In the new TMNT show's defense, it was either a scribbly 2-D animation style, or having a lower budget copy of the movie's animation. I'm grateful for what we are getting since I feared much worse.
Yeah thats a great way of putting it. And we all know how bad cheap CGI can look if not handled well. Heck just look at the first few movies on the list, or heck for extra relevance Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate.
I was surprised to see people not like the new tmnt shows style tbh, I’m an animator and I got pretty excited after seeing some clips from the show - I liked it!
The biggest disappointment of the Magician's Elephant movie is that it didn't include the Light & Night, the Tally Hall song written for the digital release of the book
“The Boy and the Heron” is my top animated film of 2023 with “Across the Spider-Verse” a close second. I’m so happy that “The Boy and the Heron” won Best Animated Feature with Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli winning their second Oscar and the second 2D film and first PG-13 animated film to win Best Animated Feature. What a historic and well-deserved win for Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli!
I know this doesn't really affect anything, but there are good cats in Paw Patrol. One of them is a biker and actually joins the Patrol in some missions!
The best animated thing I saw last year was definitely 'Scavenger's Reign', an animated series on max that was probably the best sci fi world I've ever seen and a masterclass in how to write alien worlds and how humans interact with them. I really hope you're able to go back and give it a look, just for the benefit of more people hearing about it.
Congratulations on getting this hour and a half video out. Last year to me was the best year in terms of releases in animation, and its videos like these that make me appreciate the release we got. The good, the bad, and the weird. Here's to another good year of animation with hopefully good results on the basically inevitable animation strike.
I'm always impressed by the music choices you come up with :D Also truly appreciate the variety of animated films you show off, especially when so many of the big companies really flopped last year
I always love watching these videos every year. Time goes by so fast nowadays and though my city’s university has a really fantastic independent cinema, I miss so many movies. These give me a big chance to catch up and discover things I would never have considered. Really excited to go back and watch all the ones I missed last year, thanks so much!
Worst to Best in one video? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS? Edit: You have NO IDEA how happy I am to hear you talk about the awful Swan Princess sequels. (And use the song from the third movie)
This is such a highlight to my year as a huge animation fan and an animation uni student, love seeing how animation impacts others and learning more about it myself from others.
Amazing video as always! But an important correction on Suzume: After they leave Tokyo, the entire finale takes place in Tohoku because (spoilers) Suzume lost her mother and her home in the Tohoku earthquake of 2011 (the date even appears in her diary in the film) and the entire point is that she needs to return to where it all began and confront her past. Thank you for reading, love you always ❤
1:06:32 Le Petit Nicolas is a series of French children's books created by René Goscinny and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé. Goscinny was the same writer for 2 other Franco-Belgian comics, Asterix and Lucky Luke.
Peasants is the most Polish movie ever made. As the Pole myself I can confirm that we sure love to have eachother behind courtains but still being kind to one another
Nimona is literally my favorite animated movie of 2023 and of all time. It’s very underrated, The animation gives me storm hawks & dragon prince vibes and I laughed & nearly cried. It should’ve won the Oscar for Best animated feature.
In any other year I would agree with you but let’s be fair, it didn’t stand a chance against Spiderverse and Boy and the Heron. This was a really impressive year for animation.
Who here has chills while watching the intro of the video (honestly this is the best intro I ever seen in a youtube video therefore I'm subscribing to this channel and hopefully she makes more intros like that in the future)
For two seconds at 18:32 you showed a picture of a picture of a book, “Ace Lacewing: Bug Detective” and I briefly have to thank you for awakening a core memory of a living books type thing of that book I used to love in elementary school. I was thinking about it just a couple days ago, but until 10 seconds ago I figured I’d have to hope of tracking the book down. Thank you
Fun fact, there's a soviet animated short from the 70s based on the Canterville's ghost! Sorry you just said it's the first time it's been animated and that triggered some childhood memories in me xD That short has some weird camera choices throughout but it's pretty fun~
Commenting to say that I have been watching (and rewatching) these worst to best lists since my early highschool days. I recently graduated college, and this is still one of my most anticipated - anything, for me every year. Also that every year I mentally note each movie that I hadn't heard about, with the intent to someday watch. (college + covid really made it hard for me to go and watch movies) Tho I am fascinated by your opinion on Leo, but also I am so much younger, and saw way fewer movies that year so I kinda had to push that one to my personal bottom ranks. Also that even tho I havent seen Chicken Run in years, I was absolutely terrified of it as a kid and it was one of those movies that my mom would insist I should watch again because its funny, but all I could think about was the scary stuff... which I cant remember anymore.
“I swear the people would adore this movie if it was made by dreamworks” is so true cs dreamworks was carrying 2023(with spiderverse and the boy and the heron and Nimona) before 2024 came along and they fumbled with MegaMind 2 and a mid kfp 4
sorry if I'm missing a joke but the only dreamworks movies that came out in 2023 were ruby gillman and trolls 3. they were definitely not carrying 2023.
I can’t wait for Robot Dreams to get a wide US release this summer so I can see it again on the big screen. I saw it earlier this month at a sneak preview screening, and it’s genuinely one of the best animated films I’ve ever seen. A true work of art.
Y'know I gotta say your "Just Watch the First Minute" thumbnail surprisingly worked, cuz I came just to watch the first minute and I'm now 35 minutes in lol
It looks like you spent a lot of time on this. I appreciate that, and some of the movies I hadn’t heard of, or didn’t know had come out. Thank you. Good job!
9:20 Sorry to ackchyually you here, but this isn't the first animated adaptation of The Canterville Ghost. Here's 3 other animated adaptations available right here on RUclips. We've got Orkin-Flaum's take in 1988 done in the same style as their take on "Christmas Everyday", the 1990 adaptation from Emerald City Productions, and a Russia version from 1996 with an English dub. Granted none of these hit the one-hour mark. 1988 ruclips.net/video/vrZfasJU4MY/видео.html 1990 ruclips.net/video/0exGvKaxxl4/видео.html 1996 ruclips.net/video/-aVVMQZZZ-w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5wVY5uJ0yOc/видео.html I hope those are in the right order.
I’m so happy to see the attention paid to a couple Chinese animated films!! I’ll mention a couple other films later in this comment that I loved (specifically _The Storm_ aka _Dayu_ and then also _30,000 Miles from Chang’an;_ one of which _was_ released internationally and one of which didn’t get to be), but I only bring them up here as a “preview.” First, I want to mention some other things: Your discussion of _I Am What I Am_ reminds me of something I’ve been thinking with Chinese animation: a lot of it _is_ amazing visually, but often gets criticized in terms of plot/writing/clichés, but I’ve always felt like there’s some leeway you can give Chinese animation here, which is that _China_ hasn’t gotten a chance to tell some of these stories for themselves. Like with _I Am What I Am,_ yeah it’s a pretty generic ‘80s sports movie on its surface, but the lion dancing part of it _is_ the unique, intriguing aspect of it, and I think it’s neat that we get such a film for a sport/festivity as lion dancing. Plus it’s an interesting thing to try and balance in the first place; Chinese animation has always been known for national style, where it tries to put forth a unique Chinese style that will make it stand out on the international stage. This is actually why so many Chinese films rely on Chinese mythology and fantasy-those _are_ things very special-and important and even cool!-about China. But of course this within itself is limiting. If you demand a film always try to rely on a national style, they’ll start blurring together at some point; you can see this with the number of Sun Wukong and now Nezha but also ink-wash style films there are. But with that being said, I’m glad regardless that Chinese animation is growing so, so rapidly, even though none of them are still quite at the level to compete with the sheer emotional resonance of Western/Japanese animation. Considering Chinese animation only started really maturing again in 2018 and has now culminated in so much, I’m still excited for the future, especially as more and more Chinese indie animators make their debut. And fortunately, China’s animation industry isn’t quite as reliant on a fixed release schedule as Japan, so while I know animation industries are almost inherently exploitative at this point, I’m glad that at least on this front donghua is a little more lenient. Anyway, I typed up all this because I’m happy to see more attention on Chinese animation, even if they’re still not Oscar-worthy ahaha. And because I look forward to next year, when I hope you’ll talk about Busifan’s _The Storm,_ aka _Dayu,_ which I believe released in super early 2024 internationally (it was so soon after the Chinese release I was absolutely delighted). I mourn the fact _30,000 Miles from Chang’an_ didn’t get enough attention internationally to cross borders, because I really feel like not only is it a film worthy of praise (especially since it’s another one that does _not_ rely on mythology!)-it actually came out _in China_ with built-in English subs (hard subs, as everything in China is also subbed in Chinese), which _shows_ the team’s interest in it going west. But hey, at least _The Storm_ got further! Of course, it was quite a limited release, but with the way both films went viral in early 2024, I have my fingers crossed _some_ people actually went and gave them a chance. I always want Chinese animation to get attention internationally so Chinese studios will know it’s worth investing in exporting them (again, I mourn the missed opportunity for _Chang’an_ not getting out of China 😭). And while _The Storm_ was another one that was a little over-ambitious, it was still a really heartfelt, beautiful film that I feel like animation fans will adore, as long as they give it a chance. I actually personally prefer the director (Busifan)’s other film, _Dahufa,_ and I kind of wish more reviews existed of it, but that’s another one that unfortunately never got to go across borders. But in that way, I’m glad _The Storm_ made it, and fingers crossed for it in the future to get more attention, alongside the rest of China’s animation industry. 🥺🤞
Your montage is fire, and so is the list. I hear about so few of the mid-good tier films, so it's nice to have something to look forward to in the next year.
You haven’t talked about Mars Express, which was my favorite movie of the whole year, and not only the best animated scifi movie ever, but also one of the best scifi movie of the last decade. I’m really sad.
3:00 Wait, so the Swan princess not becoming a swan isn't a once per movie thing?! That'd be a given in my eyes if I was hired to make a franchise out of that. They could've went the route of it becoming like... A family super-power and have Odette and her daughter turning into swans left and right as a franchise gimmick. Then you could make the swans distinct looking and sell double the toys.
I'm so ffing happy someone saw and liked Scary Girl, just as an Australian who happened to see it at the cinema. Myself, my wife and my 4yo were the only ones at the showing and though it wasn't my favourite movie, I thought it deserved much better than that.
Loved the video❤ and wanted to mention that there is an animated adaptation of the ghost of the canterville! It was made in USSR, in 1970. Sadly i don't think it was ever subtitled.
9:23 Actually "Canterville Ghost" was animated before. It's the russian short cartoon "Кентервильское привидение" 1970. I'm not sure if it has english subtitles though.
17:24 Hi, Ukrainian here. I guarantee you, you're not missing any significant cultural elements that would make "Mavka" good. While I do respect the people that have been working on this film and the fact that a Ukrainian film got released in many different countries is great, it's pretty bad. Also, one thing that has bothered me since I watched it - the story takes place in Volyn', a region in the North-Western of Ukraine, but the village in the movie has a distinct aesthetic of central Ukraine, and the designs of the villagers are very stereotypical (some even looking like borderline caricatures-). The cultural context might actually make "Mavka" a little worse tbh...
I’m going to address the elephant seal in the room around 59:00: That music premise of the movie is taken straight from The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning, point blank.
The 90s dolls you are thinking of is called Betty Spaghetti. And I guess the others in that line. Yeah a lot of people are comparing Velvet and Veneers race/species to Betty spaghetti dolls. That's actually cool to me because I remember those
1:22:28 - "Now if you're wondering if this is going to be exploring the social and society upheaval of a world where fully sentient robots are purchasable" You need to see "Mars Express", which really does that.
The Peasants is wayyyy to low IMO. I don’t really understand its placement ? Just because it was a downer ?? To me it’s a visually stunning, powerfully written and important wonderful film
why do you refer to the Peasants as just vaguely Eastern European? It's based on the novel written by a Polish writer set in poland and the paintings you showed as supposed references for the artstyle are by polish painters and have polish titles
Great vid ! Kinda disappointed you didn't talk about Mars Express or Concierge but maybe they weren't released where you live. Great movies though and I 100% recommend Mars Express especially if you ever come across it.
when the leo section came up i started saying nimona over and over again because it looked like the shark form and it just ended up being leo this is super longwinded but i thought it was kinda funny
Hey there, I wanted to say that an old video of yours was what introduced me to the Venture Bros, which has become an incredibly important story to me. So, thank you! For whatever reason I was a bit worried that you weren't going to talk about the finale, but im glad you did.
I've loved animation since the 1980s, but I will never know anything close to the amount you know about animation. Another thing I love is seeing a master at their craft. More than anything else, **THAT** is why I love your videos.

Thanks, no way I'm watching this video with silly opinions
holy crap, I did NOT realize that many movies were featured in this ranking. cellspex is such a legend I swear
Ah... Once again, no Digimon adventure 02 the beginning. A shame
Me: Man I need a good video to clean my apartment to
*Cellspex uploads an hour video*
Me: PERFECT!!!!!!
Same but with making dinner lol
same but with wasting my life

Usually you give Disney a bit of leeway, not much to be clear, you're fair, but when perception of their films is more negative (such as Ralph Breaks the Internet) you tend not to swing quite so far as others might in that direction,
so to see Wish lose to URKEL SAVES SANTA is a pretty stark statement of how bad Wish actually is. I genuinely think Chicken Little and Home on the Range might have more actual outright fans than Wish does at this point...
I agree because Chicken Little and Home on the Range are absolute shitshow movies so bad that they can absolutely gain an ironic cult following whereas Wish I feel has absolutely nothing to hold onto and it’s just an absolute nothing burger
I didn't even know people didn't like home on the range, till now 😅 to be fair I mainly listen to the german Audioplay. I only saw the movie once or twice.
To be honest, I’m often in the same boat as her when it comes to recent Disney. For instance I honestly really like Raya and the Last Dragon and think it is really overhated despite it’s flaws and with the other non-Encanto films in recent years like Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen 2 and Strange World, Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely not great films by any means and I’m not going to fully defend them but I do think they have genuinely good qualities that make them in my opinion nowhere near as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
So even with all that being said, even I agree that I did not like Wish whatsoever and consider it my least favourite Disney animated film since Chicken Little.
I honestly think Cellspex doesn’t get enough credit as a great movie and animation reviewer and should be more well known.
it's important to remember that many (most?) of chicken little and HotR's fans are due to nostalgia from those who grew up with those movies. wish hasn't had that opportunity yet since it just came out.
@@reddeath5791 Throughout my childhood, I loved Chicken Little and played the PS2 game relentlessly. All the criticism is deserved, but I honestly think it isn't a bad film.
Wish is a bad film.
1:00:38 THANK YOU!! Nowadays I feel people are forgetting/not appreciating TMNT 2012 anymore and especially Sean Astin’s take on Raphael which in my opinion has been one of the best adaptations of Raphael in a long time, nailing his personality, personal struggles, flaws and attitude perfectly 👏
@fandomqueenjkwhen was Leo a jerk? I would just like some clarification plz.
Came to the comments just to say SEAN ASTIN MENTION!!! 🙌🙌🙌 best Raph imho, he really did capture the angry, snarky teenage boy vibe SO well. No one comes close
I got jumpscares upon hearing Dream a Little Harder, the fact you used a Twisted song for Wish is amazing
You are the GOAT. You've been ranking every animated movie for a decade now! Its definitely one of my favorite youtube yearly traditions
1:00:52 In the new TMNT show's defense, it was either a scribbly 2-D animation style, or having a lower budget copy of the movie's animation. I'm grateful for what we are getting since I feared much worse.
Yeah thats a great way of putting it. And we all know how bad cheap CGI can look if not handled well. Heck just look at the first few movies on the list, or heck for extra relevance Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate.
I was surprised to see people not like the new tmnt shows style tbh, I’m an animator and I got pretty excited after seeing some clips from the show - I liked it!
@@hyacynthii I liked it too! I was also pretty surprised by the distaste I saw.
The biggest disappointment of the Magician's Elephant movie is that it didn't include the Light & Night, the Tally Hall song written for the digital release of the book
inb4 the opening is claimed and she's forced to redo it again.
No copyright track (for now)
@@CellSpexWell that’s a good start.
"Whoops, looks like you used music somebody rapped over."
Knock on wood
The intro with the man himself at the piano was the best RUclips intro I’ve ever seen
“The Boy and the Heron” is my top animated film of 2023 with “Across the Spider-Verse” a close second. I’m so happy that “The Boy and the Heron” won Best Animated Feature with Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli winning their second Oscar and the second 2D film and first PG-13 animated film to win Best Animated Feature. What a historic and well-deserved win for Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli!
I know this doesn't really affect anything, but there are good cats in Paw Patrol. One of them is a biker and actually joins the Patrol in some missions!
"not all cats"
These are my favorite videos to tune into each year!! It made me so happy to hear you talk about Lego Monkie Kid that is my FAVORITE show!
The best animated thing I saw last year was definitely 'Scavenger's Reign', an animated series on max that was probably the best sci fi world I've ever seen and a masterclass in how to write alien worlds and how humans interact with them. I really hope you're able to go back and give it a look, just for the benefit of more people hearing about it.
Based
It’s become one of my favourites, I loved the ecosystems and stuff
Congratulations on getting this hour and a half video out. Last year to me was the best year in terms of releases in animation, and its videos like these that make me appreciate the release we got. The good, the bad, and the weird. Here's to another good year of animation with hopefully good results on the basically inevitable animation strike.
I'm always impressed by the music choices you come up with :D Also truly appreciate the variety of animated films you show off, especially when so many of the big companies really flopped last year
The huge smile that popped up on my face when I heard a song from Big City Greens when Diary of a Wimpy Kid popped up!
I always love watching these videos every year. Time goes by so fast nowadays and though my city’s university has a really fantastic independent cinema, I miss so many movies. These give me a big chance to catch up and discover things I would never have considered. Really excited to go back and watch all the ones I missed last year, thanks so much!
Worst to Best in one video?
WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?
Edit: You have NO IDEA how happy I am to hear you talk about the awful Swan Princess sequels. (And use the song from the third movie)
Hey, been a while since I've seen a Wakfu pfp!!! Nice
@@Plexxis_SugarPom Hello fellow Wakfu fan!
This is such a highlight to my year as a huge animation fan and an animation uni student, love seeing how animation impacts others and learning more about it myself from others.
It’s insane how the two best animated movies of this year were the most life changing for me
Amazing video as always! But an important correction on Suzume: After they leave Tokyo, the entire finale takes place in Tohoku because (spoilers) Suzume lost her mother and her home in the Tohoku earthquake of 2011 (the date even appears in her diary in the film) and the entire point is that she needs to return to where it all began and confront her past. Thank you for reading, love you always ❤
Oh man I thought it was Hokaiddo, that's on me then
@@CellSpex It's okay, they're both technically the rural north haha ☺️
Thank you for putting so many animated movies on my radar every year!
It's so nice to see your opening compilation not be removed by copyright. That was beautiful! Great editing work!
1:06:32 Le Petit Nicolas is a series of French children's books created by René Goscinny and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé. Goscinny was the same writer for 2 other Franco-Belgian comics, Asterix and Lucky Luke.
The montages get better every year and they've always been great!
Peasants is the most Polish movie ever made. As the Pole myself I can confirm that we sure love to have eachother behind courtains but still being kind to one another
Came in as soon as the notification came on! READY FOR THIS!!!
Cellspex: the motion picture
Nimona is literally my favorite animated movie of 2023 and of all time. It’s very underrated, The animation gives me storm hawks & dragon prince vibes and I laughed & nearly cried. It should’ve won the Oscar for Best animated feature.
The animation reminds me of Storm Hawks and Slugterra. One of my personal favourites in Disney XD
It was a tough year for relatively smaller projects to win with juggernauts like Spiderverse and a Miyazaki film coming out
In any other year I would agree with you but let’s be fair, it didn’t stand a chance against Spiderverse and Boy and the Heron. This was a really impressive year for animation.
It's legit my favorite movie ever.
@@cliffturbo2146 funnily enough, Nimona's animation style was inspired by the Disney shorts "Paperman" and "Feast"
Who here has chills while watching the intro of the video (honestly this is the best intro I ever seen in a youtube video therefore I'm subscribing to this channel and hopefully she makes more intros like that in the future)
For two seconds at 18:32 you showed a picture of a picture of a book, “Ace Lacewing: Bug Detective” and I briefly have to thank you for awakening a core memory of a living books type thing of that book I used to love in elementary school. I was thinking about it just a couple days ago, but until 10 seconds ago I figured I’d have to hope of tracking the book down.
Thank you
Fun fact, there's a soviet animated short from the 70s based on the Canterville's ghost! Sorry you just said it's the first time it's been animated and that triggered some childhood memories in me xD That short has some weird camera choices throughout but it's pretty fun~
The thumbnail change 💀 The opening montage is really good, though.
What was the thumbnail?
Impeccable intro song choices as always!
Now that was a pretty cool montage.
Commenting to say that I have been watching (and rewatching) these worst to best lists since my early highschool days. I recently graduated college, and this is still one of my most anticipated - anything, for me every year.
Also that every year I mentally note each movie that I hadn't heard about, with the intent to someday watch. (college + covid really made it hard for me to go and watch movies)
Tho I am fascinated by your opinion on Leo, but also I am so much younger, and saw way fewer movies that year so I kinda had to push that one to my personal bottom ranks.
Also that even tho I havent seen Chicken Run in years, I was absolutely terrified of it as a kid and it was one of those movies that my mom would insist I should watch again because its funny, but all I could think about was the scary stuff... which I cant remember anymore.
“I swear the people would adore this movie if it was made by dreamworks” is so true cs dreamworks was carrying 2023(with spiderverse and the boy and the heron and Nimona) before 2024 came along and they fumbled with MegaMind 2 and a mid kfp 4
😆, good one.
sorry if I'm missing a joke but the only dreamworks movies that came out in 2023 were ruby gillman and trolls 3. they were definitely not carrying 2023.
I liked Nimona, and I'm pretty sure people would have hated it if it was made by Disney since it featured a prominent gay couple.
Saw this in my notifications, this instantly just made my day! Love whenever these are posted!!!!
My top 3 animated movies of 2023:
1. Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters
2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
3. The Super Mario Bros Movie
For me it’s:
1. Across the Spiderverse
2. The Boy and the Heron
3. The Peasants
@@zadejames6269Oh, the only movie I've seen on your pick is Across the Spider-Verse, and I haven't seen the rest.
@@yuki2320 you should for sure check em out !! highly recommend
The Mario wasn't good
Every year you do this, it reminds me that I need to watch animated movies more.
You have become my benchmark and information on info about animation. Thank you for another banger!
*IT IS TIME*
(dramatic lion king music as you walk towards this video)
There was one movie I was really looking forward to seeing you review, and curious where you would put it in the list for 2023. Glad you liked Leo.
I always look forward to your montages for these, wonderfully edited by the way
I can’t wait for Robot Dreams to get a wide US release this summer so I can see it again on the big screen. I saw it earlier this month at a sneak preview screening, and it’s genuinely one of the best animated films I’ve ever seen. A true work of art.
Its great to have another long video from your channel! I really enjoy your content :D
Y'know I gotta say your "Just Watch the First Minute" thumbnail surprisingly worked, cuz I came just to watch the first minute and I'm now 35 minutes in lol
Man that intro is fire
I really liked the Super Mario Bros movie
It's really only a movie you could love if you have outside knowledge though
It's only a movie you'll like if you are a Mario fan, which I am. But even I admit that the story wasn't great.
I mean I’m a Mario fan and even I ain’t thay big a fan. I thought it was fun, but didn’t really do anything new for me. I loved Bowser amd Luigi tho
The story was basic, but I think it did it best. Also i loved all the Mario references!
As a movie, it's fine. Definitely something not made for me but for kids and dedicated mario fans more than anything.
It looks like you spent a lot of time on this. I appreciate that, and some of the movies I hadn’t heard of, or didn’t know had come out. Thank you. Good job!
9:20 Sorry to ackchyually you here, but this isn't the first animated adaptation of The Canterville Ghost. Here's 3 other animated adaptations available right here on RUclips. We've got Orkin-Flaum's take in 1988 done in the same style as their take on "Christmas Everyday", the 1990 adaptation from Emerald City Productions, and a Russia version from 1996 with an English dub. Granted none of these hit the one-hour mark.

I hope those are in the right order.
I’m so happy to see the attention paid to a couple Chinese animated films!!
I’ll mention a couple other films later in this comment that I loved (specifically _The Storm_ aka _Dayu_ and then also _30,000 Miles from Chang’an;_ one of which _was_ released internationally and one of which didn’t get to be), but I only bring them up here as a “preview.” First, I want to mention some other things:
Your discussion of _I Am What I Am_ reminds me of something I’ve been thinking with Chinese animation: a lot of it _is_ amazing visually, but often gets criticized in terms of plot/writing/clichés, but I’ve always felt like there’s some leeway you can give Chinese animation here, which is that _China_ hasn’t gotten a chance to tell some of these stories for themselves.
Like with _I Am What I Am,_ yeah it’s a pretty generic ‘80s sports movie on its surface, but the lion dancing part of it _is_ the unique, intriguing aspect of it, and I think it’s neat that we get such a film for a sport/festivity as lion dancing.
Plus it’s an interesting thing to try and balance in the first place; Chinese animation has always been known for national style, where it tries to put forth a unique Chinese style that will make it stand out on the international stage. This is actually why so many Chinese films rely on Chinese mythology and fantasy-those _are_ things very special-and important and even cool!-about China.
But of course this within itself is limiting.
If you demand a film always try to rely on a national style, they’ll start blurring together at some point; you can see this with the number of Sun Wukong and now Nezha but also ink-wash style films there are.
But with that being said, I’m glad regardless that Chinese animation is growing so, so rapidly, even though none of them are still quite at the level to compete with the sheer emotional resonance of Western/Japanese animation.
Considering Chinese animation only started really maturing again in 2018 and has now culminated in so much, I’m still excited for the future, especially as more and more Chinese indie animators make their debut.
And fortunately, China’s animation industry isn’t quite as reliant on a fixed release schedule as Japan, so while I know animation industries are almost inherently exploitative at this point, I’m glad that at least on this front donghua is a little more lenient.
Anyway, I typed up all this because I’m happy to see more attention on Chinese animation, even if they’re still not Oscar-worthy ahaha.
And because I look forward to next year, when I hope you’ll talk about Busifan’s _The Storm,_ aka _Dayu,_ which I believe released in super early 2024 internationally (it was so soon after the Chinese release I was absolutely delighted).
I mourn the fact _30,000 Miles from Chang’an_ didn’t get enough attention internationally to cross borders, because I really feel like not only is it a film worthy of praise (especially since it’s another one that does _not_ rely on mythology!)-it actually came out _in China_ with built-in English subs (hard subs, as everything in China is also subbed in Chinese), which _shows_ the team’s interest in it going west. But hey, at least _The Storm_ got further!
Of course, it was quite a limited release, but with the way both films went viral in early 2024, I have my fingers crossed _some_ people actually went and gave them a chance.
I always want Chinese animation to get attention internationally so Chinese studios will know it’s worth investing in exporting them (again, I mourn the missed opportunity for _Chang’an_ not getting out of China 😭).
And while _The Storm_ was another one that was a little over-ambitious, it was still a really heartfelt, beautiful film that I feel like animation fans will adore, as long as they give it a chance.
I actually personally prefer the director (Busifan)’s other film, _Dahufa,_ and I kind of wish more reviews existed of it, but that’s another one that unfortunately never got to go across borders.
But in that way, I’m glad _The Storm_ made it, and fingers crossed for it in the future to get more attention, alongside the rest of China’s animation industry. 🥺🤞
Your montage is fire, and so is the list. I hear about so few of the mid-good tier films, so it's nice to have something to look forward to in the next year.
You haven’t talked about Mars Express, which was my favorite movie of the whole year, and not only the best animated scifi movie ever, but also one of the best scifi movie of the last decade.
I’m really sad.
And not to be chauvinistic, but it is certainly one of the best french movie in recent history
And the best french scifi movie by far
I will not forgive [as] for canceling The Venture Bros.
An 1hr half my god we are spoiled right here ❤❤👍🥳🎊
23:09 POV: you would spend 50k on a softcore animation featuring Charlie from Hazbin Hotel.
3:00 Wait, so the Swan princess not becoming a swan isn't a once per movie thing?! That'd be a given in my eyes if I was hired to make a franchise out of that. They could've went the route of it becoming like... A family super-power and have Odette and her daughter turning into swans left and right as a franchise gimmick. Then you could make the swans distinct looking and sell double the toys.
I'm so ffing happy someone saw and liked Scary Girl, just as an Australian who happened to see it at the cinema. Myself, my wife and my 4yo were the only ones at the showing and though it wasn't my favourite movie, I thought it deserved much better than that.
2023 was easily one of the best years for animated movies if not the best
9:34 actually there was a made for TV animated version of Canterville ghost in 1990. I saw it as a kid.
Loved the video❤ and wanted to mention that there is an animated adaptation of the ghost of the canterville! It was made in USSR, in 1970. Sadly i don't think it was ever subtitled.
9:23 Actually "Canterville Ghost" was animated before. It's the russian short cartoon "Кентервильское привидение" 1970. I'm not sure if it has english subtitles though.
I'm so happy you liked the Venture Bros movie. I did the props for it, and I can tell you we had a blast making it!
17:24 Hi, Ukrainian here. I guarantee you, you're not missing any significant cultural elements that would make "Mavka" good. While I do respect the people that have been working on this film and the fact that a Ukrainian film got released in many different countries is great, it's pretty bad.
Also, one thing that has bothered me since I watched it - the story takes place in Volyn', a region in the North-Western of Ukraine, but the village in the movie has a distinct aesthetic of central Ukraine, and the designs of the villagers are very stereotypical (some even looking like borderline caricatures-).
The cultural context might actually make "Mavka" a little worse tbh...
Everyone else: YEAA SPIDERVERSE
Meanwhile, me: *wipes tear* she finally caught up on Miraculous!
Oh shit, first. That’s new. Been looking forward to this since the beginning of the year!
I’m going to address the elephant seal in the room around 59:00:
That music premise of the movie is taken straight from The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning, point blank.
holy shit youre right
The 90s dolls you are thinking of is called Betty Spaghetti. And I guess the others in that line. Yeah a lot of people are comparing Velvet and Veneers race/species to Betty spaghetti dolls. That's actually cool to me because I remember those
A hour and 30 minute long Cellspex video? Sign me up lol
The "Chop,Chop,Chop" needle drop was all I needed to make this day amazing.
I appreciated the intro thank you for the effort you put into your videos 🫶
1:22:28 - "Now if you're wondering if this is going to be exploring the social and society upheaval of a world where fully sentient robots are purchasable"
You need to see "Mars Express", which really does that.
The Peasants is wayyyy to low IMO. I don’t really understand its placement ? Just because it was a downer ?? To me it’s a visually stunning, powerfully written and important wonderful film
why do you refer to the Peasants as just vaguely Eastern European? It's based on the novel written by a Polish writer set in poland and the paintings you showed as supposed references for the artstyle are by polish painters and have polish titles
yeah, the whole peasants segment seemed very patronizing, average american ignorant about eastern europe. very dissappointed, ngl
In a year that Puss in Boots: The Last Wish came out, The Amazing Maurice is the best movie in which a cat confronts the personification of death
32:26 that’s literally the plot of If/Then. Like exactly the same gimmick
really appreciate the twisted clip preceding the wish segment
Great vid ! Kinda disappointed you didn't talk about Mars Express or Concierge but maybe they weren't released where you live.
Great movies though and I 100% recommend Mars Express especially if you ever come across it.
That intro is so cool, can you post it as a standalone (maybe unlisted) video?
Thank you for your thoughts and for opening the door for us to find new favorite films! I have maybe 12 hours of films to go watch now!
I love how high you rated Unicorn Wars! Loved it. My fave of the year was The Peasants.
I really love the music you used at the beginning.
when the leo section came up i started saying nimona over and over again because it looked like the shark form and it just ended up being leo
this is super longwinded but i thought it was kinda funny
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!! happy the notifications got me!
Hey there, I wanted to say that an old video of yours was what introduced me to the Venture Bros, which has become an incredibly important story to me. So, thank you! For whatever reason I was a bit worried that you weren't going to talk about the finale, but im glad you did.
I look forward to this vid every single year!
Wow, while I don't recognize all of the animated movies dropping in 2024, the only one I'm excited for is The Wild Robot.
Also Wish Dragon slaps
Same I'm for the wild robot movie too
1:09:56 I know nothing about Venture Bros, is the person on the right DIVINE??
I've loved animation since the 1980s, but I will never know anything close to the amount you know about animation.
Another thing I love is seeing a master at their craft. More than anything else, **THAT** is why I love your videos.
