Let me guess what’s next for the fifth Hotel Transylvania movie that no one is asking for because the fourth movie is the film in the franchise that made it even worse than ever before; it will be made in the early 2030s so that Sony could cast Ariana Grande as Karen Puckett, a love rival of Mavis (Selena Gomez, AGAIN, unless they replace her with another actress born between the 1970s & 2010s), like the pop singer INNA (like Dracula and his daughter Mavis, she was born in Romania, just not the Transylvanian area) or Demi Lovato or Paola Andino from Every Witch Way or Hailee Steinfeld (who is in Sony Pictures Animation movies like the Spider-verse trilogy) who would deserve better) for the affections of her husband Jonathan Loughran (Andy Samberg of The Lonely Island unless they replace him with an ex-boyfriend of Selena).

Honestly though I like the meta take in The Man Who Invented Christmas

This was on the Patreon cut but some quick thoughts (at least in the ones I have opinions on): - Admittedly not super important but I feel that it’s interesting to note that part of the reason why Pinnochio’s nose doesn’t grow (and why everything in True Story feels EXTREMELY off) is because the only thing it has over most of the other versions this year is that it’s the only one based on the Russian version (Buratino) instead of the Carlo Collodi version. Still though the localization team should’ve taken that into consideration…also I had to pause the video a bit just to process that LeFou thing. In addition to Wicked, Timon and Pumbaa might gonna have to sue for ripping off the comedic sidekick retelling of a Disney classic schtick. - Between Wonder Park and Luck, anyone else starting to worry we’ve found a spiritual successor to the Weinstein Company? - Only plus Paws of Fury gave us is opportunity to snark on the “You can’t make Blazing Saddles today” crowd (although I get the feeling that would poke the bear even more and they’ll blame the movie’s quality on “wokeness” somehow😑) - I admittedly got a good laugh at the joke in the trailer where Keanu Reeves’ Batman lists off all of the Batfam and associates (which even the Linkara and quite a few other people beat them to it) but I admit I otherwise don’t have a whole lot of interest in Super Pets if only because of how I’m find the human designs very offputting. Even on the Marc Mason front, we already have The Bad Guys - OMG I’ve been so vindicated by the Pompo section! Sure I didn’t “hate” the movie but I came out super disappointed even as someone who has film and filmmaking as a hyper fixation and someone who doesn’t mind the occasional cute comfort anime every once in a while. If you want a way better anime movie about movies…well no duh go watch Millennium Actress instead. Also not an anime but I also feel like recommending Home Movies, a pretty underrated series about kids amateur filmmaking that’s notable for being the first animated series co-created by Loren Bouchard so while it’s a bit weird and experimental early on, you’re at least in good hands (if nothing else Brendon’s a way more likable protagonist than Gene…in that he actually HAS struggles. Which is extra weird because he’s 8!)

29:24 it is so weird hearing songs on my playlist out in the wild. It's like suddenly being reminded that they do exist in the rest of the world

As always I love your commentary and insights, and the amount of joy I get when other people reference Crazy Ex Girlfriend songs is embarrassing at this point.

I am the same! Every time something references it I literally have to pause the video just to take it in.

I come back every year to watch your rankings. Thank you for your hard work! 😊

Kinda sad to see Scrooge so low. I found it touching enough and personally really liked how it looked. I'm not that much of a Cine- or Animation- phile, but I do like bright, colourful and bombastic.

Same here. I thought it was a solid adaptation with legitimately beautiful and creative visuals.

One thing amazed me about Bubble is that we know how it will end from the very beginning. We’ve heard the little mermaid story before, we’ve had it read to us by one of the characters outright spelling out to the viewer that the little mermaid turns to sea foam. And yet I was still kept on my toes with all parkour and beyond stunning visuals. The ending didn’t surprise me, it felt like it was bound to happen and we just didn’t realise it. I knew it would happen but it still managed to make me cry 7/10 story 4/10 romance 10000/10 art Over 4 million traes shed 👍

3:39 as a lifelong Disney beauty and the beast fan, what you just described to me is an absolutely horrifying thing to hear. I did NOT need Lefou to be “redeemed” whatsoever. That animation and the animators who made it are honestly being wasted.

I always appreciate your music choices as much as the actual reviews!

Pinocchio: A True Story reminds me one of those cheaply made direct to video movies

Because that’s exactly what it is!

Interesting, I really liked Bubble! And you're right the characters don't have much going on, but for me they didn't need to because the focus of the movie was obviously on the parkour and scenery. It's more an aesthetic film--it's about the music and the parkour helps add to the environment because then you get to see the characters traversing said environment in interesting ways.

Missed this when it came out and coming back to it seeing your recent upload, I have to say the transitions using your high-contrast renditions of the posters fading into the original were all very cool to see, to the point where I was somewhat disappointed to see the transitions where you just put an effect over the poster before wiping it away.

5:08 the shape language and animation in Drac and how he moves and expresses is so fun, but the rest of it is…. Eh? I do like the animation though. It’s so pretty.

Minions isn't among the worst? I am genuinely shocked!

Every time you attempt to shout, it sounds like you're trying not to wake up your parents in the middle of the night.

The Netflix Scrooge sounds like they got him mixed up with the Grinch

6:20 See, that pissed me off the most: this conflict between them was solved in the first movie. There is no need to re-do the same plot over and over again.

i look forward to these videos every year

@@IlucuthenEmpire Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know!

I was already surprised that Lightyear is so high on the list, before I realized that this is just Part 1.

I haven’t finished the video but I just wanna say I love the fact that you never put like a number score and you just explain everything on what traits make it good or bad. I’m always under the opinion that the movie could either be a five out of 10 Or 10 out of 10 depending on what you relate to and what intrigues you the most of certain aspects of a film. It’s why I think monsters University is very divisive and white giving it a number score in general just fails at really appreciating the film. Just overall you’re doing a great job and doing all the hard work.

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

So happy to see this video! I kinda liked Lightyear but I think its aesthetic just got to me.

Ah, 2022. The year of Pinnochio... for some fucking reason lol.

So positive for a worst list, must've been an amazing year in general.

thumbnail said 'worst to best' and I was so utterly confused at why they weren't getting better as the video progressed; hoping you'll do a best of 2022 vid, too!

Japan says that woman in "Fortune Favors Lady Mikuho" is only 147 pounds? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they told the script writer to just type something and he hit the first key on the three rows of the number pad, which are 1, 4, and 7. I weigh just shy of 270, I've been losing weight, and I'm STILL smaller than that character.

the Pompo movie seemed really great. Its creative and it really gave that insperation for art as a burnt out artist.

My favorite video of the year. Thank you!

You seem to find all kinds of movies that we never hear about in the States. It makes me wish we had easy access to all films everywhere.

Thanks for the nostalgia bomb using Are We There Yet. Haven't heard that song in probably a decade.

I was so happy when she mentioned Odd Taxi my brother introduced it to my and IT WAS AWESOME

I very recently watched Primal, so it was cool to see you shout it out. It's great, I highly recommend.

You brightened my day!

I thought this video came out already, but maybe I was thinking of last years and time just flies!

I saw Paws of Fury only because I like Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim's my favorite movie) and...I definitely didn't...hate it? I work at a theater so I playfully challenged parents who saw it with their kids to try "hard mode" with the original Blazing Saddles.

Unrelated to the actual content that matters of the video lol, but I love how many Crazy Ex Girlfriend songs there are, one of my favorite shows! I've heard about 3 in here so far lol

OH MY GOD SOMEONE ELSE IS FINALLY BEWILDERED BY EPCOT’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST SING A LONG

Im so excited to see what your fave movie of the year was celly!

While I overall agree with your take on Scrooge: A Christmas Carol. It is positively overrun with visuals, they throw way too much onto the screen. But I have to say I watched with a mixture of irony and genuine enjoyment, knowing the film was in some sense trash but still appreciating how INSANELY ambitious it was. In a world where Illumination makes money by keeping expectations low, I'll absolutely take a movie that tries way too hard. And some of the visuals work, Isabel putting her ring on Scrooge's scales as she leaves is so clever and such a good metaphor. Luck. I know I'm in the minority for what it was I enjoyed Luck, too. It was good-hearted and charming, and I laughed. I watched it with my family and they didn't laugh much. But for whatever reason, I found a lot of the jokes hilarious. I found the world fairly fun and somewhat creative, I found Sam easy to feel sorry for, like, and sympathize with. I found Bob entertaining and charismatic, the same goes for Babe the dragon. I just don't feel this film deserves the amount of flack it got. It felt like a passion project, it moved along at a brisk pace, and whether you entirely agree with the message that bad luck should exist because it can bring good things (I don't agree with that message personally I think we'd be better off without suffering) I appreciated that a lot of people *do* take comfort in that message. Also, for all that people complain about how trite some elements of the film are, at least it's a message that hasn't been done a million times, unlike, say, "oh, just believe in yourself and be yourself!" This is a good message but god that doesn't have to be the only message kids' movies ever do. I could go on, I just really enjoyed the whimsy and charm of Luck and I hope at least a small pocket of others did, too. Obviously, I agree with the films lower on the list, they're pretty indisputably awful, or, in the case of Hotel Transylvania -whatever-number-it-is, aggressively mediocre. Cheers. Sidenote, but, Cellspex, if you're reading this, I am SO happy to see this video. Seeing your end-of-year reviews always makes my day. Thank you ever so much for the sheer amount of work and time you have put into making your audience happy.

Despite their lackluster receptions, I really enjoyed Lightyear and Strange World. It was interesting to see the inspiration behind the Buzz Lightyear toy on screen, plus I was totally geeking out over the callbacks to the Toy Story films. Strange World was fun too with its snappy animation and interesting premise. Also I unironically loved Scrooge, the music and animation sold me on it, and also Luke Evans does a fantastic job in my opinion

But seriously the ducktales take on luck is brilliant. Even his depute episode had better worlrbuilding and the worlrbuilding in ducktales is just set ups for jokes and charachter moments.

Im waiting so eagarly for part 2 because i need people talking about inu-oh finally

1:28 I’m one of the few people my generation who actually knew who Pauly shore was before this film.

Don't forget orange cats! There was Sox from "Lightyear", Whiskers from "DC's League Of Super-Heroes", Puss in Boots of course and the orange cat from "Stray".

Woo I’ve been waiting for this one

I LOVE the little musical interludes in this video (especially the excerpts of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)! Bravo!

I actually did a review of 'Sing a Bit of Harmony' last weekend just bc I ended up watching without any knowledge of what it was and loved it.

3:33 So it’s Wicked meets The Lion King 1 and a Half……ok, but why? Eh, probably gonna be ignored. Edit: Well…..bummed to hear about the Oddtaxi movie. Was expecting them to extend on the character like what the main character is like know after what happened in the with how he sees society.
