Space Jam (1996)
Aug 17, 2000Toon Basketball Game
Based on a Pepsi commercial, this brings NBA star Michael Jordan and a host of Looney Tunes characters together in a basketball game. A cute idea not very well developed.

Stitch! The Movie (2003)
Jun 19, 2010Disney Animation Sequel
Cheaply made video-released sequel to Lilo & Stitch, which is only a rehash but does surprisingly reunite all the voice talents
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Oct 9, 2008Space Opera/Animation
Theatrical spinoff from the Star Wars prequels, released to introduce the popular animated series. This shows it is time for George Lucas to move beyond recycling something that was successful three decades ago
Superman vs. The Elite (2012)
Mar 7, 2017Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
This adapts What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?, the highly acclaimed graphic novel that was written as a response to 9/11. Unfortunately, I am not sure condensing the story into a 76 animated film fully does justice to the complex debate of the original
The BoxTrolls (2014)
Oct 18, 2014Cuddly Trolls/Stop-Motion Animation
From Laika, a stop-motion animated work about misunderstood creatures who wear boxes as shells and are perceived as monsters by polite society. An enormous degree of creativity has gone into this
Son of Batman (2014)
Aug 11, 2014Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
Another of the DC Universe Original Animated Movies, this devoted to the character of Batman's son Damian. Solid action, a well moving plot that makes good use of its characters, adding to a decent entry even if it is not up among the best of these animated DC films
Justice League: Gods and Monsters (2015)
Nov 18, 2016Animation/Alternate World Justice League
An alternate world take on DC Comics characters, who are much more morally ambiguous – Superman is General Zod's son and Batman's role is taken by Man-Bat and is an actual vampire
Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)
Jul 10, 2017Animation/Cute Blue-Skinned Creatures
For their third Smurfs film, Sony have dispensed with the live-action/CGi animation mix of the previous two films and made a wholly animated film. Its' the Smurfs in their more natural element but the film is never more than 3D eye candy for the moppet audiences
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Aug 14, 2021Team-Up of DC Comics Super-Villains
James Gunn takes over the Suicide Squad franchise and welcomely rescues it from the dud first screen outing
