10.The Addams Family 2
Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time”. To reclaim their bond, they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Some people will like this and some don’t plus it will divide people, this is rather funny in some places and it is colourful and vibrant, the vocal in this film is spot on and brim with comic one liner, I think personally you should give this a chance.
9.Hotel Transylvania 2
Dracula and his friends try to bring out the monster in his half human, half vampire grandson in order to keep Mavis from leaving the hotel. This is one of the better sequels as the story is brilliant and spot on, the characters are great and this can be rather funny and the animation itself look gorgeous, it might not be groundbreaking but this is cute and it is well made, it is one of those film which is inoffensive and not too scary.
8.Hotel Transylvania
Dracula, who operates a high – end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count’s teenaged daughter. Quietly this is a superb film, it also eye catching from start to finish, it has got an all -star vocal talent in this film, overall, this is entertaining and light-hearted plus this doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is fun and joyous and this is superbly made.
7.The Addams Family
The eccentrically macabre family moves to a bland suburb where Wednesday Addams friendship with the daughter of a hostile and conformist local reality show host exacerbates conflict between the families. Personally, I was surprised with this film as this is rather good, the story is brilliant and, in my eyes, this deserve a chance, it might not be to everyone taste but if you get past that this is watchable, I think personally this will surprise people with this film.
6.Coco
Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family’s ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great – great – grandfather, a legendary singer. One of those film which is heartwarming and cute, it might not be one of the best Pixar films but it’s the visual that is outstanding, it got an easy-to-follow story that is simple and the moral is finding yourself and families in general, I’m sure people will connect with this message and this is enjoyable.
5.Spirited Away
During her family’s move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, a world where humans are changed into beasts. With wonderful scenery and it like a dreamlike film, the pacing is perfect as it does hold your interest from the start, the hand drawn animation is beautiful and it slowly drawn you in, it might get too surreal and too weird for some people but if you get past that, this is a beautiful coming of age tale.
4.A Christmas Carol (2009)
Miser Ebenezer Scrooge is awakened on Christmas Eve by spirits who reveal to him his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways. Not your traditional Halloween film but this is a ghost story, so technically it is a Halloween film and the visual is amazing, the animation itself is gorgeous to look at and it got a great story, this film is certainly memorable and this is superb.
3.Wendell & Wild
Two scheming demon brothers, Wendell and Wild, enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot to summon them to the Land of The Living. Might be rather full on with some people but this is heartfelt, it also got a multilayered story that work well, it will leave you a lasting impression on you and this will move you, you will care about with these characters and this is a brilliant film.
2.Monster House
Three teenagers, DJ, Chowder and Jenny think that after mean old man Nebbercracker died from a heart attack at his house, they all think it’s over, but they are wrong. Remarkable motion capture film as this is a brilliant adventure spooky type of film, this will move you as this never feel forced or too sentimental, it is eye catching and this feel totally epic, for me personally this is underrated.
1.Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were – Rabbit
Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest. Utterly breathtaking and this is laugh out loud funny, it got loads of horror movie cliché and the vocal in this film is brilliant, this is an all – British film and this is generally exciting and the characters are great, this is pure escapism and it like a werewolf type of film, it also didn’t take itself too seriously.
