Animation movies 2023

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...

2023 is looking like a very good year for feature animation. With new releases from dependable heavy-hitters like Illumination, Disney and Pixar, plus exciting new features from smaller studios like Aardman and Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli, 2023 is offering something for everything. We’re getting a ton of original features and some equally cool-sounding sequels, for an absolutely thrilling medley of animation styles, moods and formats (including stop-motion and traditional hand-drawn). Yes, Chris Pratt’s “Italian” accent is deeply questionable. And we’re worried they’re cramming too much Mario Bros. lore into a single movie (especially since we all know this will be the beginning of a very lucrative franchise), with nods to everything from “Super Mario Galaxy” to “Luigi’s Mansion,” but otherwise “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” looks excellent and so, so fun. Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, two of the mad geniuses behind the great “Teen Titans GO! To the Movies” and featuring a starry cast that also includes Jack Black, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Seth Rogen, Keegan-Michael Key and Fred Armisen, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” could be very special indeed – a corporately engineered, synergized product (keep in mind the theme park land is opening at Universal Studios Hollywood around the same time) that also succeeds as a movie in its own right. Ready to take the warp pipe. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (Sony Pictures Animation, June 2) Miles Morales r...

Around this time each year, we publish a preview of the major animated features due to come out in the U.S. the following year. The lists are never definitive and are subject to regular changes and additions. In fact, several of the distributors on the list below told us they have other films planned for 2023 but aren’t ready to announce them just yet. Several of the films on this year’s list appeared on last year’s but were later delayed for a variety of reasons. Before the pandemic, Cartoon Brew only included theatrical features on our annual list but that no longer seems prudent, even though U.S. theaters are now mostly back to “normal.” That being said, we haven’t included every straight-to-streaming feature on the list either, but instead opted to highlight some of the biggest. Considering the upheaval happening at many of the U.S.’s largest animation companies, there is a bit of guesswork that goes into creating a list like this. At this time last year, who’d have thought that Warner Bros., so much in favor of a straight-to-streaming release model under previous leadership, would pull a complete 180-degree turn under new boss David Zaslav and cancel nearly every production that isn’t seen as theatrical-worthy? And what might Disney’s distribution plans look like now that streaming-fan CEO Bob Chapek is out and former boss Bob Iger is back in? Netflix hosted limited releases for several of its big animation feature titles in 2022, but who knows if its future releases ...

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 se...
