5 Great Moments From Mediocre Animated Films

The interesting thing about Professor Screweye's Death is that there was a deleted scene building up to it, where he exposit's his backstory to the dinosaurs. He apparently had a fear of crows since his childhood because one of them pecked his missing eye out. The reason he keeps them around in the circus was his own way of controlling the source of his trauma. It's honestly kind of a shame it was removed since it makes his demise that much more effective.

Spy kids 2 with the "Do you ever think that God stays in heaven because he too fears what he has created?"

Damn, imagine not being a native English speaker but still developing the authoritative academic/aristocratic British accent.

The most British sounding person ever: "I grew up in El Salvador." Reminds me of my new family member who just immigrated to the US from Brazil but speaks great (self taught) English and has a British accent instead of Brazilian. Meanwhile my relative from El Salvador has been living here for years and still has her accent.

Fun fact: eight crazy nights supposedly made no money from all that product placement. They didn't even ask for permission

Professor Screweye's death is by far one of the most interesting deaths for me. You'd expect someone being eaten alive to go out screaming, or be shown snippets of brutality, but nope. One second he's fully covered with crows, the next he doesn't exist anymore.

The two alien soldiers losing their brains in Planet 51 always scared me as a kid. Permanent damage to someone's psyche and body with them having to live with it and not knowing what they've lost is one of the most horrifying fates to me.

I also want to mention the deleted scene from We’re Back, which delved into Screw Eyes’ backstory. When he was a kid, he was napping under a berry bush and a berry rolled into his eye, and when a crow spotted it, it pecked at the berry while also pecking out his eye. From that one traumatic incident, Screw Eyes concluded that the world made no sense as he had done nothing to deserve such a barbaric fate. From that day, he developed a fear of crows, so in order to master his fear he kept them by him. It’s honestly pretty messed up, but would’ve added so much more to the movie if they kept it in.

Guys, he's a bat. He was probably hibernating all this time. Give him a break.

The campfire scene in Shrek the Third where Shrek talks with Arthur is a genuinely good scene and concisely showcases his character development. It's a genuinely great scene in an otherwise lackluster film.

Honestly, for Sing 2, Jimmy Crystal is actually a somewhat decent villain. He's full of ego, overbearing, controlling his daughter, afraid to be ashamed, sick and twisted with power. The way Porscha in a sense flicks him off by doing her musical number is a nice "fuck you, Dad" moment.

A scene that always stuck with me from an otherwise forgettable film is from Barnyard where Ben fights the coyotes to the death

"I just like the idea of putting cavemen and aliens together" So... Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

See you again in 2 years, happy Easter.

We're Back being on the same list as an Illumination movie and an Adam Sandler movie feels like a personal attack.

I did have some hope for the animated remake of The Grinch when I heard Benedict Cumberbatch had been hired to do the title character's voice, because heck, if any modern-day actor can come close to sounding like Boris Karloff, it's him. But then I heard the director had told him to lose his British accent and raise his voice from baritone to tenor. WHY? Why hire an actor with a specific sound and then tell him NOT to sound like that? "Illumination doesn't make films. They make products." Truer words were never spoken.

I would also like to add the scene in Valiant where the protagonist’s crush Victoria tells him that being a hero doesn’t matter, as long as he makes it back safely. Such a powerful line.

I'd say for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, the villain Chester V is the best aspect about the film. He's one of the best twist villains of the past decade, as the movie wastes no time in showing the audience that he's a villain, it's just a twist for the main character. Also, his evil plan also has kind of a point, as he's been secretly planning of getting rid of food-animal mutants.

19:30 I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought the same way about the creature design. I also wanna add that, to me, the creatures in the sequel feel way more like two creatures stitched together which, yeah the creatures in the first film were also that, but not just that, there were enough features added to them that made them feel like their own unique species as well.
