The new age animated comedy movies that are hitting the big screen have made a big splash for our youth and, really, can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I'm going to go through some of the more successful animated comedies that have appeared in the last decade.
In the 90's some of the most successful animated movies were made and the bests included Lion King, Toy Story, and A Bug's Life. The 2000's have came out with more of a realistic style and maybe a little more comedy than the movies of old.
A movie that has become one of the most popular is Shrek. Shrek leads you through the tale of an ogre and a donkey in the ogre's quest to regain his land for Lord Farquaad. During his journey he falls in love with Princess Fiona who also turns out to be an ogre. Shrek's actors or really the voices behinds the characters includes Mike Meyer as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as the donkey, and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona.
Another of the top animated movies of the decade is Monster's Inc.. Monster's Inc. shows the life in the all-monster city of Monstropolis. Inside the scare factory works two monsters, one gigantic blue and a one eyed green monster, Sully and Mike. While Sully is trying to scare as many kids as possible a young girl named Boo escapes into the factory, and the monsters go crazy. Sully must go on a wild adventure as he takes her in as his own and has to protect her from the monster world.
In 2003 one of the best animated comedies came out in the movie Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo tells you the journey of a young fish named Nemo. On Nemo's first day of school he does not listen to his father Marlin and swims off to check on a boat. He is then captured by a diver and taken into a tank in a dentists office. Marlin and his friend Dory set out to fine him and Nemo tries to plan his escape from his office and reunite with his father.
These three animated movies have made nearly as much money as some of the normal comedy movies to come out in the last decade. They great family movies and people of all ages seem to enjoy the childish comedy.

YOu have really hit it now Jake. This is the one type of movie that brings in the children to the theaters. They enjoy animated comedies and parents love them to. It is something that brings them back to good old childhood memories. I can say that these movies our funny since I have watch them with my little cousins and really enjoyed them. These movies will keep coming out and will always do well because of the people that make of their fans.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt about it, the new little kid movies are pretty good. One of my favorite things about the newer cartoons, is how they make it so enjoyable to people other than little kids. In Shrek, they did an awesome job of hiding the mature parts, but still making it funny. When I look back at the old movies that I used to watch, I catch things that totally went over my head. I think that the new technology has really improved the movie experience. I hope that people enjoy today's movies, but at the same time, remember the classics.
ReplyDeleteAh childrens comedies. I think we can all look back and recall a movie that we spent countless hours watching. For me it was the lion king, and aladdin. I believe that childrens movies can have a big impact on a kid, and can influence the type of person he/she becomes. Good post Jake
