Spongebob movie: Spongebob comes out of the water.
Production company: Nickelodeon movies, etc.
Distribution company: Paramount
Release date: February 6 (expected launch)
Recommended index: ★★★★
In February this year, the film Spongebob 3D, jointly released by Nicole Rodin and Paramount, is the second film version of this children's animation that has been popular all over the world since 1999 was launched. Its predecessor was born in 2004. Although it achieved a good box office result of $654.38+500 million, its producer once declared that it would not make a sequel for it. It was not until 20 12 that Paramount set up an animation studio, and it was not until Rango was a great success that it was announced that it would make the long-awaited sequel to Spongebob.
There is no doubt that this film has many attractions: first, it is the first CG animated film in the series, and the three-dimensional Spongebob just appears on the poster, which makes people want to hold it in their hands. Secondly, like the previous film, it is a live-action animated film, in which the animation part was completed in Korea. No wonder some people have started to compare it with other movies such as Chipmunk and Smurfs. Of course, a light and humorous story will still bring the audience a wonderful 90 minutes.

Release date: March 27th (expected launch)
Recommended index: ★★★★☆.
The English name of Happy Smack's Day was originally "Happy Smekday!" Later, it was renamed "home", probably to highlight the theme of loving home. Anyway, this film adapted from Adam Rex's novel The Truth of Smekday was originally the annual contribution of DreamWorks Animation Company during Christmas last year, but it was moved to this year due to the construction period. From the final battle of the year to the first battle of the year, the performance of Home will affect the nerves of all DreamWorks animators.
Directed by Timothy Johnson, the director of Little Ant and Beyond the Hedgehog, this film tells the adventure story of an alien who escapes to the earth and becomes friends with an earth girl. Because the film created a witty and brave heroine, it is naturally regarded as a feminist film. Of course, from the perspective of genre films, both the characteristics of road films and the theme of alien invasion are worth looking forward to. In dubbing, it invited pop divas Rihanna and Jim Parsons Shelton to help out.

The Battle of the Mind is another masterpiece of Pixar animation director Peter Doggett after Flying House Travel Notes and Monster Power Company. The film will lead the audience into the little girl Riley's mind, turn her five emotions of joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust into characters, and explain how they affect the little girl. This idea is so wonderful that we can't help but expect that the Pixar we are looking forward to is back.
Since Toy Story, Pixar's most classic works are often recreated with things we are very familiar with. This film is in the same strain as the animated short film "Day and Night" in form, which caricatures what we think is impossible. I believe that after watching this movie, the audience will re-examine their inner emotions just as they have to have some feelings for their toys after watching Toy Story. Pixar is like this. Through animation, we have a new understanding of the world.
Minions ()
Production company: lighting and entertainment
Distribution company: Universal Pictures
Release date: July 10 (expected launch)
Recommended index: ★★★★★★★
Considering the great success of two films in the series "Despicable Me" in 20 10 and 20 13, we have reason to believe that this scandal work featuring the popular image "Minions" will continue to be a box office storm this year. This is another sequel after Shrek released puss in boots and Madagascar released Penguin in Madagascar. The film was originally scheduled to be released in February of last year, 65438, but Universal Pictures rescheduled the release time because "Stealing Dad 2" was a great success in the summer file.
Minions is a unique image in the history of animation. Its main feature is that it is both individual and collective, while most animations only describe individual roles. Every independent Minions has its own appearance characteristics, but when they get together-people with intensive phobia should pay attention-the group image characteristics they show are both lovely and wonderful. Maybe this movie will tell something about the history of Minions. Of course, anyway, they will only serve the most "despicable" people in the world.
Transylvania Hotel 2
Production company: Sony Animation, etc.
Distribution company: Columbia Film Company
Release date: September 25th (expected launch)
Recommended index: ★★★★☆.
Sony Animation brought a sequel animation "Elf Hostel 2" this year. Compared with the previous 20 12, it kept the usual three-year intermission of Hollywood sequels, which was quite satisfactory. The role of a vampire father who dotes on his daughter, and the love story of an ordinary boy and a vampire daughter in the previous work are all fresh in our memory. I wonder what new adventures the protagonists will bring us in the sequel.
The film's director, 45-year-old Russian animator genndy tartakovsky, is one of the pillars of Sony animation. He not only directed many animation works including Star Wars animation series, but also made his first animated film after joining Sony Animation Company on 20 1 1. At present, Sony has entrusted him with the task of Popeye 3D version, but he still "stole time" to complete the sequel to the movie Elf Hotel 2.

By the end of the year, the international animated film market will reach another climax. The first one is CG animated film adapted from Charles M. Schulz's famous cartoon Peanut. The most famous images in comics are Charlie Brown and his pet Snoopy. This is the brand's fifth theatrical animation, and it is also a 1 CG animated film. This film is released on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of its cartoon and the 5th anniversary of the author's death/kloc-0, which is of special significance.
The film was produced by Blue Sky Studio, directed by steve martino, director of Ice Age 4, and written by Charles M. Schulz's son and grandson. It can be said that the Schultz family loves peanuts more than themselves. The story revolves around Charlie Brown's new adventure, which even children can experience. Schultz hopes to pass on Charlie's optimistic and indomitable spirit to a new generation of children.

There are two Pixar animated films a year, which is unprecedented and a feast for animation fans all over the world. Entering the Lunar New Year, Pixar 16 animated film "Dinosaur Master" will lead an ancient storm. Of course, this film has experienced some twists and turns in the process of creation. Bob peterson, the original director, was replaced by Peter Sohn, who had never directed an animated feature film independently before. However, his deep participation in Finding Nemo, Superman Story, Gourmet Story, Robot Story and Travels around the Flying House gives us reason to believe that he will inherit Pixar's content quality.
The film takes a Lei Long as the main character, with a primitive agricultural civilization as the background, full of humorous elements and highly original. Of course, how to portray such a dragon-fearing world and make the world view of the film more credible is a homework that the director and his team must do. Croods of DreamWorks Animation Company 20 13 made a good example and formed a certain scale. Whether Pixar can beat DreamWorks on the theme of "Primitive Man" this time, let's wait and see!

Production company: October digital animation, etc.
Distribution company: Light Media, etc.
Recommended index: ★★★★
There are countless animated films with Journey to the West as the background. One of the four fabulous classical novels, like magic, has given China animators endless creativity. The Return of the Great Sage of Journey to the West is one of them. The film expands and deduces the story of Journey to the West, and tells the story of the reincarnation of Tang Priest and the Monkey King who were crushed under the Five Elements Mountain after 400 years of havoc in Heaven.
