Best Animated Movies Today
All too often, people get stuck in rut when it comes to how they spend their time. They become busy professionals with very little time left for other things that are important to them. With the advancement of technology, you can now make your own movie! It’s easy to forget how fun making movies is unless you do it yourself.
There are many ways to start creating yours! You can use free software or pay programs to create your film, and this article will talk about which ones are worth investing into. But before we dive in, let us look at some examples of animated films!
Examples of animaed movies
These are not necessarily short movies, but they do show how simple it is to make your first animation: The Angry Birds series (which has over 100 million downloads!), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2016), How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2017). There are many more!
The writers of these films did not have any formal training in filmmaking, nor were they professional artists. However, they had an idea they wanted to convey, so they sat down and made their movie using their skills and what they knew.
If you want to give making animations a try, here are some helpful tips!
Invest in good quality software
Most importantly, invest in good quality software! I recommend trying out several different apps before choosing one that you like and sticking with it.
Star Wars
With every new movie in this series, there is always an uproar about how much of the film’s plot is familiar to viewers. This seems to be more prevalent with The Empire Strikes Back than A New Hope. Many people seem to forget that these films are set thousands of years before A New Hope!
The stories tell tales of battles between good and evil, power struggles, and so forth. These elements are clearly inspired by ancient mythology and folklore.
This doesn’t make them any less interesting or entertaining, but it may cause some to question why someone would feel the need to retell these old stories when they could easily use one of many available mythologies at no cost.
That being said, if you want to compare and contrast the stories, then do so very carefully. Use only commonalities for your comparisons, not exact parallels.
These movies still hold up even though most people have seen parts of them before because they add new layers to the story.
Inside Out
In the movie, you will see five internal emotions that regulate all of our actions- fear, anger, joy, sadness, and surprise.
These emotional regulators are constantly changing depending on what is happening in your life at the time. For example, when you find out that your best friend has died, his/her death can cause you to feel very sad for some time. It takes time to work through those feelings.
At times, however, their absence becomes more important than their presence. When this happens, we must learn how to substitute these emotions with something else.
The most common way to do this is to put yourself in place of someone who has lost a loved one. By doing so, your brain learns how to process grief better because you’re giving yourself permission to feel it.
Grieving is natural and it does not go away, but you can help facilitate the process by putting yourself in place of others who have lost someone close to them.
John Wick
The best way to begin this review is by telling you how good the movie starts off. If for no other reason than it takes around two hours to really get going, so start watching at the one hour mark if you want to give the film a chance.
From there, things quickly pick up speed until the climax of the movie where everything comes together beautifully. While some parts may be too action packed or violent for younger viewers, there are several scenes that include strong dialogue which adds depth to the characters.
If you like revenge movies then I definitely recommend giving this one a watch.
Black Panther
As we approach the one-year anniversary of this year’s biggest hit, it is time to take stock of what makes it special. For me at least, there are three things that make this movie stand out. First, the production value was incredible! The costumes, sets, and overall aesthetic all fit in the era very well.
Second, the cast was incredible! We have talked about some of the individual stars before but none of that seems adequate to describe their contributions as groups. Each member brought something unique to the table; whether it be humor, intensity, or just plain beauty.
Third, the messages of the film were powerful and thought provoking. This includes everything from how to treat others to themes such as white privilege and colonialism. All of these combine together to make for an engaging watch that leaves you thinking about issues related to race.
