Whyboy Spotlights… Big Hero 6

If you want a movie experience much in the lane as The Iron Giant, but with more punching, then check out Big Hero 6.

Whyboy Spotlights… The Book of Life

Now what’s the best method to convey how much of a soulless, committee designed borefest The Book of Life was?

Whyboy Spotlights… How To Train Your Dragon 2

It’s that time of year once again folks. Time for the Summer Blockbusters. They’re bigger, more epic, and hopefully better then any other movie in the year

Whyboy Spotlights… Rio 2

Almost sounds like some sort of punchline, right? Rio 2. Because we really wanted to see the continued adventures of one of the most uninteresting couples in animation.

Whyboy Spotlights… Rio

There has been a lot of animated movies through the years that have came and went without any sort of noise made about them. It happened with the Babe Ruth talking bat film Everyone’s Hero, it happened with Disney’s Meet The Robinsons and now we have Blue Sky’s latest movie series attempt Rio.

Whyboy Spotlights… Ernest and Celestine

Time to finally get my foreign film into my list of animated films I saw in 2013. Technically by the wiki, Ernest and Celestine came out in France and Belgium in 2012 but I don't believe it was widely known until it hit film festivals in North America in 2013. That's where I heard about it and ever since I heard about it and seen the trailer I've been desperate to watch it. I'm the guy who really likes those down to Earth tales, stories that don't engage through action and suspense but through character development and interactions. That's exactly why I liked Mary & Max so much. But now that I've seen Ernest and Celestine was it worth the wait?

Whyboy Spotlights… Frozen

It's been a pretty solid year in the "Year of Standards," mostly unimpressive visuals, very copy and paste stories, and all around a year that hasn't leaned towards horrible but just meh. I've been told though that Frozen was going to change all that.

Whyboy Spotlights… Planes

It's yet again another in the long lineup of standard animated movies from the year of 2013.

Whyboy Spotlights… Free Birds

Owen Wilson as a Time Travelling Turkey? How can that not be so horrendously awful it’s good? Simple. It’s "The Year of Standards” in animated movies.

Whyboy Spotlights… Escape From Planet Earth

It wouldn’t be a “Year of Standards” without the whole Earth is evil gag, right? This is Escape From Planet Earth, a movie that is just plain bad.
