Animation

When thinking of “animated” movies many think of Walt Disney’s Cinderella or maybe Fantasia. Today’s animation has come a long way since each motion meant the turning of a page drawn by a cartoonist. Anime movies came along and were action packed characters, drawn really well, with little or no plot but proved really popular. Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Monsters, Inc. are fun to watch no matter your age. The latest offerings in animation films are among the most popular of all movie genres. Monsters vs Aliens, 9, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and Avatar are entertaining with a capital E (rated for everyone).
