Here are my thoughts on the 2024 animated films of the first quarter
The Tiger's Apprentice: really great action and animaton mixed with a generic story with and kinda bland characters, which is kinda sad cause the elements that work in this really do work pretty well
Orion And The Dark: The story is pretty confusing, but I do like the characters,the humour, and especially loved the character designs and how the Dark was personafied as a character in this (He's basically a big goofy guy with jealously issues and has understandable layers as a character)
Peppa's Cinema Party: The visuals are honestly the worst ones of the year so far, but that is to be expected, and even if its mediocre I surprisingly had fun with this in a "it's bad but hard to truly hate it kinda way"
Demon Slayer To The Hishira Training:
Megamind Vs. The Doom Syndicate: Not as bad as some made it out but still kinda bad, don't like the way they handle Megamind and especially The Mayor in this, the backstories arent very well explained and Roxanne voice feels very off, but to be fair I kinda appreciate the moral and some of the villians like Nighty Knight and Behemoth and the animation was alright I guess but still largely just inferior compared to Dreamworks's Television Division's other works.
Kung Fu Panda 4: The best of the 4 on a visual level (which isn't saying much honesty) and has lots of fun moments but lack the depth and complexity previous films had, but still pretty fun but definitelythe weakest of the 4.
The Casagrandes Movie: Ruby Gillman but Mexican, some very colourful animation but is just Ruby Gillman but with a mesoamerican aesthetic, not to say outside of that it's just an okay way to finish off the adventures of whats basically Mexican Loud house.
Robot Dreams: the movie equivalent of a bedtime story, very visually appealing and emotionally resonating, overall the best animated movie so far this year (kinda)
In Mugen Train Arc...With Hashira!You fight alongside Kyojuro and the children, You went up the train to see the fight between Tanjiro and a demon...you give the sleepy demon a close call with beheading
Enmu*Manages to dodge but sees you descend gracefully in front of him, checking on tanjiro*Hey watch it~That was clooooooooooose...
Enmu spots You, Taking a Gun with specialized bullets...and FIRING from the other cart, A SLOW MOTION, sexy of Your's glistening face under the moon glaring at him, shuddering as you pull the trigger, aimed directly at him
Enmu*Dodging looking at you up and down*Oooooh, my~
Slow motion you then tell Tanjiro to keep attacking while you reload...
Enmu*Is in his own world, as he dodges pretty distractedly so Tanjiro attacks*Me likey!~
You then make a jump for the other cart pointing your gun at Enmu's head, Enmu as he yields to it, blissfully
Enmu*Seeing your figure falling down towards him with the moon as your background*Take me~
For you Enmu lovers!~Thanks to my bestie @ravenrose00 for helping me with this!~
