Mandatory viewing. If you only watch one movie from this list, make it this one. Just be prepared to have "Let It Go" stuck in your head for a decade. Banks December 13, 2013 Walt Disney Pictures Special
You can’t talk about 2013 without mentioning the juggernaut. Released in November 2013, Frozen didn’t just become a hit; it became a cultural phenomenon.
The third installment in the Iron Man series, directed by Shane Black, took a darker and more personal turn with Tony Stark facing the aftermath of the events of "The Avengers." The film explores themes of vulnerability, PTSD, and the consequences of playing a superhero. With its blend of action, humor, and a personal stake, "Iron Man 3" became one of the highest-grossing films of 2013.

Hmmm. I appear to be missing part of your review, here. Wrong version get posted, or is it just me?
Oh crap, hang on
Better now?
Yep. And you’ve added a few fun bits, that’s nice. (And the movie’s ending appears to have changed? 😆)
In any event, thanks for the review, Mouse. I haven’t seen either Ponyo or this movie, but they do *sound* kinda different to me? IDK. Regardless, I don’t mind looking at different versions of the same story (or game, more commonly), even if one is objectively worse. I’m just a weirdo like that, I guess. 😉
Setting all that aside… Moomin, let’s gooo!! 😆
Science Saru (the animators behind this and Devilman Crybaby) practically runs on that whole “this animation is ugly and minimalistic On Purpose(tm)” thing. Between taking and leaving that angle I prefer leaving it, but it’s neat seeing how blatantly the animation’s inspiration is worn on its sleeve, like the dance party turning everyone into Rubber Hose characters. “On-model” is evidently a 4-letter word for Science Saru!
I was preparing to say I prefer Lu over Ponyo but I think the flaws between each film balance their respective scores out so I’m less confident on my stance there.
I think the deciding factor was that I liked the musical aspect of Lu, especially Kai’s ditty during the climax. Ponyo was a little too uninterested in a story for my mood and I don’t remember feeling like it makes up for that.
PONYO may be minor Miyazaki, but sometimes small is Beautiful.
Also, almost everything would be better with vampires that stay dead.
…
Look, my favourite character was always Van Helsing, I make no apologies.
Not one shot of this makes me particularly want to watch it. Maybe it if was super funny or heartwarming or something, but apparently it’s mostly Ponyo. I don’t even like Ponyo, so Ponyo-but-fugly doesn’t really cry out to be experienced.
Moomins! You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve known about them without ever really following them.
I alwayd enjoy your reviews. never seen this one, but the Moomin movie I do know, so im looking forward to it!
Thanks so much!
Obama Plaza in Ireland might be worse than the Famine.
The movie appears paint-by-the-numbers. These films rely on the romance carrying the keg, and if the viewer isn’t feeling it, then the process becomes a slog.
