Best Animated Movies on Netflix for a Visual Feast

Sequels released over a decade after the first film are always a gamble, but Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was one of multiple films from 2022 (Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water) that actually improved upon its predecessor. Eleven years after the first Puss in Boots, the eponymous rascally cat has now burned through eight of his nine lives on his various adventures, reteaming with Kitty Softpaws in pursuit of the Last Wish, which would restore his lives. Along the way, he tries to outrun Goldilocks — hoping to attain the Last Wish for herself — and a menacing wolf who mysteriously stalks Puss. Like other DreamWorks films post-Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the blend of 2-D and 3-D is striking in its visual texture, particularly in action sequences, but its darkly authentic themes of anxiety and the value of friendship resonate most of all.

2. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)

EW grade: B+ (read the review)

Director: David Soren

The wildly popular Captain Underpants book series has kept kids entertained since 1997, but it wasn't until 20 years later that the tighty-whities-clad hero made it to the big screen. The First Epic Movie centers on George and Harold, fourth-grader best friends who create the Captain Underpants comic book and hypnotize their strict principal into becoming the superhero — who doesn't actually have superpowers. Kid-friendly without being too mind-numbing to their parents, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie has "charm to spare," praises EW's critic, noting it works "mostly because it never tries to be more or less than what it is." It also spawned a series on Netflix, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, which ran from 2018 to 2020.

3. The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

EW grade: B (read the review)

Director: Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly

Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Sean Penn, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Bill Hader, Peter Dinklage

While it may be damning with faint praise to give credit to The Angry Birds Movie for not being a total disaster...it really could've been much worse. Based on the wildly popular app of the same name, the film follows Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), a talking bird who comes to suspect that his island's new pig inhabitants have malicious intent. Your mileage may vary depending on your tolerance for punny/juvenile humor, but as EW's review notes, the film "delivers a mildly diverting mix of winky meta-jokes and moral lessons, cannily aimed at both the next generation of tiny consumers and their more sophisticated parents.

4. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

Director: Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson

Cast: Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Gregory Mann, Burn Gorman, Ron Perlman, John Turturro, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton

Codirectors Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson transport the classic story of Pinocchio to World War II-era Italy in this meticulously crafted stop-motion animated film. Following the death of his young son, carpenter Geppetto cuts down a tree and carves a wooden boy, who is subsequently brought to life and dubbed Pinocchio. As the boy ventures to the outside world, he is met with dark forces that attempt to use and corrupt him, all against the backdrop of Benito Mussolini's reign as leader of Fascist Italy. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is a darker take on the tale compared to the well-known Disney adaptation (which also received a far-inferior live-action remake in 2022). From the fraught setting to the detailed creature designs, del Toro and Gustafson create a distinct world while providing valuable life lessons to viewers of all ages. The film became the first Netflix production to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

5. The Sea Beast (2022)

Director: Chris Williams

Cast: Karl Urban, Zaris-Angel Hator, Jared Harris, Marianne Jean-Baptiste

A brave orphan girl named Maisie stows away aboard a ship of sea monster hunters in The Sea Beast, helmed by Big Hero 6's co-director Chris Williams. The sailors are renowned for their hunting abilities, though their status is threatened by their society's admiral, who wishes to replace them. They go out on one last hunt to track down a powerful sea beast called the Red Bluster, but, as Maisie soon discovers, the creatures may not have the kind of malicious intent for which they've come to be known. With dazzling colors, fast-paced thrills, and classical storytelling, it's easy to see why The Sea Beast became Netflix's most watched animated original film as of October 2022, according to the streamer. The film also earned a Best Animated Feature nomination at the Oscars, following a wave of critical praise.

Single of the Day: Emanative “Energy” With Tamar Collocutor & Sarathy Korwar 

Following last week’s surprise treat, a Bandcamp exclusive collection of “emanative rarities & odysseys”, Emanative has just dropped a killer two-track digital bandcamp-exclusive single, featuring fellow heavyweights, Tamar Collocutor and Sarathy Korwar.  

A respone to the highly surreal times we are currently living in.

First up, “Energy” finds Emanative in temple-of-dub mode. It’s a bass heavy affair with Tamar Collocutor on on bass clarinet and Fergal McBride on bass guitar.  On the virtual flip, Emanative is joined on “Misguided Meditations” by Sarathy Korwar on tabla. Set this one on loop for your isolation yoga session.

Artwork is by our very good friend Emily Evans, who has previously created artwork for Insolito UniVerso's "La Candela del Rio" album on Olindo and Emanative's Planet B 12" for Nutriot Records. Click on the link below to download & stream.

Ott repül a kismadár! – Angry Birds – A film (2016)

Mondhatni nem sok jót vártam az Angy Birdsfilmadaptációjától, bár a trailer igen viccesre sikeredett, úgy voltam vele, hogy valószínűleg minden poént ellőttek már benne, így a teljes estés mozi egy főleg gyerekeknek szóló unalmas marhaság lesz, amin jobb lesz mielőbb túl lenni. Hát nagyot tévedtem, ugyanis a film nemhogy jó, hanem egyenesen kivalló, és azóta már többször megnéztem, annyira jók…

Emanative released spontaneous single “Energy/ Misguided Meditations” from isolation

Emanative released spontaneous single “Energy/ Misguided Meditations” from isolation. Music came with an open letter to fans:   "Strange, strange, strange. I don't need to tell you about these surreal times, everybody else is doing that for you, including the mental noise in your own heads.... and on the subject of mental, or rather governmental, many artists I know aren't going to be able to rely on any help from them during these times... So, I collaborated with Tamar Collocutor & Sarathy Korwar as well as bassist Fergal McBride and artist Emily Evans not forgetting my long time Mastering engineer Tony Dixon @ Masterpiece... and of course my spiritual digital home, Bandcamp here, to bring you a new digital only release. The drums were recorded by Tim Pennells at Floating Productions. I really hope you like it. I think we all need some good Energy right now, take the oppurtunity to find the positive in this break from the rat race, planet earth needs it as much as we do.   Nick x" Listen to Emanative “Energy/ Misguided Meditations” below: Energy by emanative Led by drummer and producer Nick Woodmansey, Emanative have created a cosmic strand of multi-cultural UK jazz with African, Indian and Middle Eastern influences unlike any other act on the UK scene. Born in 1975 and growing up in Sussex, music was part of Nick’s life from an early age as his dad Mick ('Woody') Woodmansey was the drummer with Bowie’s Spiders from Mars. His father instilled in him a life-long passion in drums, teaching him the basics. Plans to go to art college were shelved after he moved to London in 1991, squatting in Dalston, and esconsing himself in the London music scene. A few years later Woodmansey took a 12-month gig playing drums on a cruise ship, before returning to the UK and spending the next decade playing on the London scene in various projects whilst raising a family – it was there he decided to go it alone and so in 2006 Emanative was official. Initially Emanative was an output for Woodmansey’s more beat-led productions which he began releasing in 2008. Over the course of a decade and a multitude of singles and three full-length albums, the project has morphed – emanated – into a collaborative, jazz-influenced, outward-facing globally-inspired collective.   Listen to Emanative previous project with great Phil Ranelin below: In this project Emanative come through yet again with a collaboration blessed with the experience & wisdom of one of the worlds great underground jazz elders, the co-founder of the legendary Detroit based independant label; Tribe Records, Trombonist, Phil Ranelin.     Emanative “Energy/ Misguided Meditations” tracklist and personel:   Energy   Tamar Osborn - Bass Clarinet Fergal McBride - Bass Nick Woodmansey - Drums, Production & Mixing   Misguided Meditations   Sarathy Korwar - Tabla Nick Woodmansey - Drums, Percussion, Sampling, Production & Mixing Read the full article
