The 5 Best Animated Films Of 2012

Our Animation correspondent Joshua Mitchell discusses his picks of 2012.

New Release Review - Wreck-It Ralph

Directed by: Rich Moore

Starring: John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Sarah Silverman, Alan Tudyk

While there are many who would argue differently, 2012 has been a relatively good year for animation.  With "Brave", "Pirates! Band of Misfits" and "Frankenweenie" (among others), there's been plenty of appealing films for all ages.  And while "Wreck-It Ralph" looked somewhat less promising than the others in my eyes, it ended up being an absolute joy and one of the best of 2012.

New Release Review - John Carter

Directed by: Andrew Stanton

Andrew Stanton has directed two amazing movies; Finding Nemo and Wall-E. These pictures are both masterpieces, and favorites of mine. Now, Andrew Stanton directs his first live-action movie, John Carter.

New Release Review - Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

Directed by: Chris Renaud, Kyle Balda

Starring: Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Ed Helms, Betty White

Another Dr. Seuss adaption. I say this without enthusiasm or disappointment. Dr. Seuss films are usually just mediocre, nothing to get excited over. However, they make a lot of money. Thus, we get the movie adaption of "The Lorax."
