Andrew Stanton builds an astonishing post-apocalyptic fable that relies primarily on pantomime, framing an abandoned, garbage-strewn Earth through the expressive optical lenses of a solitary mechanical custodian. Ben Burtt’s tactile sound design and Thomas Newman’s lush orchestral score grant this metallic protagonist enormous soul as he journeys from dusty planetary ruins into the cosmos. The narrative honors Buster Keaton-style physical humor while tackling massive environmental concerns. Anyone looking for the displaced outsider tenderness and innocent longing for connection found in Home will be swept away by this magnificent space-bound odyssey.

Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman completely redesigned modern studio animation by merging traditional hand-drawn comic techniques with boundary-pushing computer graphics.

Kyle Balda crafts a manic, candy-colored 1970s period pastiche that blends kung-fu movie spoofs, bell-bottom flair, and non-stop physical slapstick. Tracking an ambitious twelve-year-old Gru as he attempts to impress a villainous cabal, the film races through San Francisco backstreets powered by Steve Carell’s boisterous vocal antics and Pierre Coffin’s gibberish-spouting yellow sidekicks. It offers pure, unpretentious Saturday-morning cartoon joy. It scratches the exact same itch for chaotic, alien-like creature camaraderie that powered the humor in Home, honoring oddball underdogs who make up for their pint-sized stature with fierce loyalty.

Andrew Adamson grounds C.S. Lewis’s beloved literary classic by emphasizing the wartime trauma of four English siblings evacuated to a countryside manor during the Blitz.
