My Top 20 Animated Movies of 2023 (Review) from Red Hero on Vimeo.

Well, after a LONG delay, it's finally time to talk about the movies of last year that I enjoyed.  

Note: This video was completed before the news of the arrest of Suzume's producer was announced.  I have chosen to leave the video unaltered, but it should go without saying that his actions are not condoned here.

Yes, I know I never do these year-end videos, but this year was special...in both good and bad ways.

The Laikathon officially ends with Laika's future uncertain.

Also, if you haven't seen the Kubo and the Two Strings review, it's now on Vimeo.

Movies Worth Your Time: The Boxtrolls

The Laikathon ends (sort of?) with the last Laika movie (besides Missing Link) I haven't previously reviewed, The Boxtrolls!

Movies Worth Your Time: ParaNorman

The Laikathon continues with more animated spookiness with ParaNorman!

Movies Worth Your Time: Coraline (Take 2)

The Laikathon continues with a movie I technically already reviewed. However, that was 7 years ago and with crappy audio...we can do better.

Movies Worth Your Time: Corpse Bride

The Laikathon officially begins with technically the only movie Laika made under contract for someone else, Corpse Bride!

Movies Worth Your Time: The Laikathon Begins!

In case you haven't heard, Laika's latest movie, Missing Link, did the worst out of all of Laika's movies in its opening weekend. I've talked favorably about this studio before, but I think it's time I did a little bit more.

The WE ARE HERE! Podcast-Episode 3: In Defense of Ash Ketchum

The WE ARE HERE! Podcast returns for its last episode of 2018, on a subject the Hero has wanted to talk about for a while...

Elseworlds Month 3, Part 2 (Music Movies: Mike Mulligan)

(I apologize in advance for the audio of this review being rather echo-y--the only place I have a couch is in my living room, which is big and open, and I wanted to copy the look of Paw's living room, so--yeah.)

Elseworlds Month 3 continues with a universe where the Hero is the host of Music Movies!

Movies Worth Your Time: Kubo and the Two Strings

I had to do SOMETHING for this movie. Nobody saw it, but it's a beautiful film that NEEDS to be seen.

It's finally time for the big one...the list that all of the Hero's Pokemon reviews have been building up to...

Movies Worth Your Time: The Peanuts Movie

An adaptation that delivers far more than expected, the Peanuts movie is one not to be missed.

And, at long last, the Season 5 episodes begin!

Scooby-Doo Movies Collaboration: Alien Invaders

Originally aired October 2, 2011. This was another entry for a collab that was never finished--but the sad part is, in this case, I started the collab to begin with. A few people contributed, but it never really took off. Oh well, at least I got to look at an underrated Scooby-Doo movie!

Pokemon Movies Collaboration: Destiny Deoxys

Originally uploaded January 22, 2011. Full disclosure, this is one of my favorite reviews ever. I like all the jokes I made, I liked the pace, and I just really had a ball making it. So I hope you enjoy it!
