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 - Frankenweenie
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Christopher Lee, Charlie Tahan
New Release Review - Brave
Directed by: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell
Starring: Kelly MacDonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Craig Ferguson
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."
