Animated movies 2023

Welcome to the Wide Shot, a newsletter about the business of entertainment. Sign up here to get it in your inbox. To paraphrase and expand upon Guillermo Del Toro’s oft-repeated call to arms during the Oscar campaign for his stop-motion “Pinocchio,” animation is not a genre. It’s a medium. And, of course, a huge business. One that is changing rapidly, with a competitive landscape that has evolved in the years after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered cinemas. The enthusiastic audience response to recent animated releases has shown the popularity of the format operating in a variety of films, despite unfounded worries that families would avoid movie theaters following the public health crisis. Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” has grossed $390 million globally in its first 12 days, performing as much like a superhero movie as a PG-rated family title, already topping the run of its predecessor. The “Spider-Verse” sequel’s win comes after Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” surpassed $1.3-billion in box office sales, becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year so far. I mention these two mostly unrelated films in the same breath to note the lack of hegemony in today’s animation business, particularly as Disney and Pixar — long the dominant players among family crowds — struggle to recover from the COVID-19-era decision to release multiple films directly to Disney+. Pixar’s latest effort, “Elemental,” is tracking...

Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream — a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger’s happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they’re breaking in! After two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André; Sing 2), Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs; Hamilton) and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi; Don’t Look Up). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since. But when Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains—Velvet (Emmy winner Amy Schumer; Trainwreck) and Veneer (Grammy winner and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells; The Book of Mormon)—Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.

Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos: HBO, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing, TOHO Animation, Several of 2022’s Clone High, a Pixar rom-com, more than one dark-fantasy anime series, and the return of the swingiest Spider-Man of all. And that’s just a few we have dates for. We’re also patiently awaiting U.S. release dates for director Hayao Miyazaki’s return to the big screen and the triumphant debut of a film abandoned by Disney and scooped up by Netflix — both of which will premiere internationally this summer. Read up on all the brain-melting animation to come and prepare for a hot one. May Clone High (HBO Max/Max, May 23) Before Phil Lord and Christopher Miller made The LEGO Movie, they made Clone High with Scrubs creator and Ted Lasso producer Bill Lawrence. The cult-classic comedy lasted barely a single season in 2002, but it has been revived for the Clone High felt ahead of its time at the turn of the century, pulling off a tone that Vulture’s Jesse David Fox Simpsons’ best jokes with the shotgun madcappery of contemporary Adult Swim shows like Superjail!” Here’s hoping the revival does the same and more. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai (HBO Max/Max, May 23) The Gremlins films may be live-action, puppeteered classics, but this new animated series renders the creatures in vibrant, smooth-edged CGI to showcase the origins of Gizmo, the movies’ little Mogwai hero. Its art style is vivid, built on painted backgrounds and computer-modeled characters, and the show...
