Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Brief Reviews of Recent Animated Films (Lots of Blue Sky)

Ice Age Collision Course

This movie is very stupid, and the drama is dumb. I am not going to lie and say I did not like it, as it is funny. It is a very solid dumb action/comedy. Way better way to end the main franchise than the previous film. Three Tree Stars.

Ferdinand

Early on I thought this would be too childish for me, but the more it went on the more I enjoyed it. The characters are surprisingly complex while still being simple and easy for children to understand. The action scenes are very good. The development is great. Four Tree Stars. I have now seen every Blue Sky film.

This really sounds like the type of movie I would not like, so I think my positive review says some great things. The animation is great, the story is great, and the character development is great. Best movie of these four. I am not a big fan of the songs, but I think that is more personal taste than anything. Four Tree Stars. Also the characters look way better in animation than on the posters. The cover does not show how good the animation is.

Despicable Me 4

I came in expecting the usual middle of the road movie from this franchise, and other than the first film I think it is easily the best. It went much more concise focusing on a few key characters while giving everybody else a satisfying small subplot (only Margot got the short end). It was a very good climax, and it is really funny. No way the franchise ends here, but it would be a really good ending. Four Tree Stars.
