Super Mario bros grossed 1.36 billion. Anime animation is at its peak. Arcane was mind-blowing. The best movie Disney ever made was in the 90s and it was about lions. What metric are you going by? More on reddit.com

20 Forgettable ’00s Animated Movies Only True Fans Remember
July 9, 2024 - The movie features the voice talents of Andy Samberg as the grandson of the first chimp sent into space. He leads a new set of chimps on a space-bound mission where they face off with aliens on a strange new planet. While this early 2000s animated movie is mostly forgotten, it was a small success when it was released, making $64.8 million on a $37 million budget (via Box Office Mojo) and spawning a video game that dropped in the same year and a sequel in 2010.

Bill Hader voices Flint Lockwood, a scientist often seen as a failure until he invents a machine that makes food fall from the sky. While at first a miracle, the contraption creates chaos as mounds of food fall on the town and freak weather/food events occur.

r/movies on Reddit: 2000s animated/kids movies, quality or nostalgia?
May 3, 2024 -

I’m in my early 20s so I look back at animated movies in the 2000s with a lot of fondness. Movies like ‘Surf’s Up’, ‘Madagascar’, ‘Ice Age’ and ‘Ratatouille’ have always been special to me. I feel there’s a general consensus that animated movies nowadays are not as good as the ones we grew up with. For example, ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ wasn’t as well received as its predecessors, and ‘Wish’ didn’t conjure a lot of excitement.

That being said, animated movies nowadays aren’t all bad. The Sonic movies have devoted fans, and I really thought TMNT Mutant Mayhem was fantastic. Animated movies 15-20 years ago weren’t all great either. Disney’s straight to DVD sequels like Aladdin 2 were pretty bad for the most part.

I’d like to get your perspective. Has the quality of animated/kids movies really gone downhill or are we looking at the genre through a lens of nostalgia?

Disney Through the Years - The 2000s: The Animated Features — The Gibson Review
January 23, 2022 - With the possible exception of The Emperor’s New Groove, Bolt is the most hilarious Disney animated movie of the 2000s. Yet, it doesn’t quite reach heights of greatness. But Disney would just keep getting better from here for the better part of the next 15 years. A prince visiting New Orleans is turned into a frog by a man practicing dark magic. The studio returned to traditional hand-drawn animation for the first time in five years. And this is their best-looking animated film since Fantasia 2000.
