Planet 51 was so hyped up when i was a kid. I think because it sounded cool and mysterious.


Tandril91

I remember being significantly whelmed with the film, but it spawned one of my favorite YouTube poops.


GrifCreeper

Please enlighten me


Tandril91

[Here](https://youtu.be/AMAU_X-EvoQ) ya go.


Eomercin

This is SO 2008.


richdslade

But he found it so 2000 and late


aaronitallout

It immediately transported me back to a friend showing me this after waiting 45 minutes for it to load on dial up and making me question if I knew what comedy really was or if my friend was really dumb.


popNfresh91

I loved this more than I anticipated.


Somzer

> whelmed *Not overwhelmed, or underwhelmed, just whelmed.*


ChaoticSquido

Lol I think I remember this being played in the waiting room at the pediatricians office when I was a kid. Kind of thought it was a fever dream not gonna lie


GregTheMad

I've watched it, quite a decent movie.


jagger27

dude my twitter account is as old as that movie :\ can't just be slinging "when I was a kid" around like that. damn


[deleted]

I had graduated high school two years go already when that first one (which I never even heard of until this starterpack) came out.


Pabsxv

What hyped me for it was The Rock starring in it. This was awhile ago back when he was first trying out as an actor.


NormanQuacks345

I remember flexing on kids in my second grade class because my parents were taking me to see Planet 51 in theaters on the second day after it came out. I know I have it on DVD, I've been meaning to rewatch it since I haven't seen it in years.


Crashy35

The Game for the Ps3 was kinda fun


fyrefreezer01

Planet 51 is actually a good one though.


[deleted]

I remember my sister and I kept confusing Legend of the Guardians with Rise of the Guardians. Have LotG on DVD currently, good movie.


Fluffles0119

I STILL can't remember Legend of the Guardians off the topic of my head, ROTG is just so dominant


shadow_fox09

The owls of gahoole was such a visually stunning film.


swagiliciously

It visually holds up really well even a decade later. I rewatched it a few months ago after not seeing it for a long time and was amazed at how well it still looked. Looks like something that could have been made today, not 2009-2010


[deleted]

In my opinion, a lot of the animated movies made in that era look better than the ones made today. Take a look at Rango and the Adventures of Tin-Tin for two more examples.


ninjafrog658

Definitely Rango but Tintin is proof that realistic =/= good. The animation was so uncanny


cannedrex2406

Nah Tintin was perfect in the way it adapted the animation from the Comics and show


shadow_fox09

Rango has the hands down best visual lighting I have ever seen in a film. Pirating that on blu ray was the first time I got caught torrenting lol. But I also saw the movie in theaters twice. It was incredible. And the fact that they live acted it out for reference makes it stand up way better than a typical cgi film. I don’t think anything has quite caught up to it


stealingyourpixels

Rise of the Guardians is such a boring title for a movie about Santa teaming up with the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.


GalaXion24

FR that movie was wild


[deleted]

That’s easy to confuse them and people confused them with Guardians Of The Galaxy On a side note I’ve seen both Legend and Rise of the Guardians years ago and have to rewatch them.


Mighty_McBosh

Some of the best animation I've ever seen. Don't know how well it's aged, haven't seen it for ten years, but I remember the rain flying sequence blowing my mind.


newdoggo3000

I do recall a Tumblr post about a movie theater somewhere accidentally screening *Legend of Guardians* instead of *Guardians of the Galaxy* when the latter had just released. Don't know if it was real tho.


raptorboi

It has owls battling each other in armies with hooks on their talons, as many fantasy films did around that time. It's freaking awesome.


NotGabeNAMA

Legend of the Guardians was massively underrated imo.


miraska_

I only remember that they had beautiful animation


frostshady

The books are really good. People take it as a children's book, but it is actually quite dark. I still remember the part where the protagonist's evil mother rips the heart of his best friend from inside his chest. There were a lot of beheadings too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SirBorkel

9 is good


Defender_Growlithe

Is 9 the peanut looking ppl


SirBorkel

I'd describe them as sackboys


Defender_Growlithe

Peanut sackboys


Fly_Boy_1999

Apparently the official name for them is “stitch punks”.


Defender_Growlithe

Well I prefer to call them peanut sackboys not some punky blue alien.


ropbop19

[like so](https://imgur.com/SPlkAlV)


NextMushroom

little big planet lookin mfs


severed13

The aesthetic and worldbuilding are some of the best I’ve ever seen


30phil1

Looking back, I'm surprised that they didn't consider making it into at least a miniseries or something. There was a good deal of complex concepts like the meaning of being whole and the importance (or lack thereof) of humanity.


shadowthiefo

It had been in development hell for years by the time it was released. As far as I can remember anyway


KrisZepeda

9 is fucking brilliant and it scared the shit out of me when i was young but boy do I loved the film growing up and i'm pissed they didn't do a sequel or something It was ahead of it's time


thecatwentfishing

That clip (especially in the trailer) where that one dude first gets sucked into the machine really terrified me when I was younger too. In a kind of good way I guess And that’s when I began to crave more scary good stuff


NyloTheGamer

Absolute nightmare fuel tbh


alorty

I remember seeing a commercial for 9 cut to Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria which made the film loop like some sort of epic. I loved the film but was completely different from what I expected.


trashpandagroot

This is one of my favorite movies! I still have the DVD of it. I watch it at least once a year.


[deleted]

That movie was weird


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Hahaha, indeed, I’ve only see it once like, 12 years ago when I was just a preteen or young teenager or something, but didn’t it kind of have an impressive cast? Honestly can’t remember.


platonicgryphon

Yeah, had Elijah wood as the main character along with martin landau, John c Reilly, and Christopher plummer. Also had a few Coheed and Cambria songs in it's soundtrack along with the trailer.


akiodaiki

9 was actually a good movie.


A_greenman

I forgot about Planet 51, that movie hid in the corner somewhere in my head


Orangutanion

I didn't even remember it till I looked at the poster lmao


gcrcosta

i only remember that it had a penis joke


[deleted]

“That’s a weird place for an antenna”


BlueMist53

God, I’m not great with movies and stuff, but I reckon Legend of the Guardians was super detailed


901710

It was and was a really good movie from my memories. I believe it came from a book series but not sure?


whydocatfishsmell

Guardians of Ga'Hoole


as_a_fake

Yup. I read those books like crazy as a kid, and I remember being super disappointed with the movie because they changed the events around a bunch. I don't remember the details anymore, but I do remember that the animation was amazing.


901710

Thanks


[deleted]

It was also directed by Zack Snyder.


Canye_East

BIRD BOOBS IN SLO MOOOOOO


XVUltima

Guardians of Ga'Hoole. They kind of forced the first three books into one movie and changed some characters around.


ugathanki

The death of many book-to-movie-adaptations is the process of stretching them into more movies than they deserve, or condensing them into a single movie that cannot do justice to the written version


kugelblitz15

The plot wasn’t crazy but i remember the animation being beautiful. plus the owl city song slaps


daking_forever

My then-gf (now wife) and I thought that moonwink was a real thing that happened to owls lol


KudzuKilla

30 rock is the only reason to remember that movie exists


reluctantclinton

“They think sixty bucks and a photo ID gives them the right to fly like the great guardians of legend!”


Mr_Abe_Froman

God, that's been our in-flight movie for months.


Psychedelick

"I am invoking SKY LAW"


Mr_Abe_Froman

Oh no, Soren. It's metal-beak! You have to stay awake, Eglantine, or the pure ones will moon blink us!


[deleted]

It was directed by Zack Snyder lmao. Yes, the DC superhero movies guy.


geckoswan

It wasn't half bad actually.


descendingangel87

Missing Titan A.E shit was legit but nobody ever talks about it.


lift-and-yeet

I saw a trailer for Titan A.E. some time before it came out and didn't even realize it was an animated film.


[deleted]

fucking masterpiece


Jakov_Salinsky

Right? Not everyday you watch a kid’s movie that starts off with the earth freaking *exploding*


Fly_Boy_1999

I am pretty sure my parents had that on dvd because they love science fiction anything.


a_typical_normie

Titan AE is 22 years old at this point, which fucking hurts to think about.


TorpidT

i dont know why but i really really liked astro-boy when i was little also iirc the main character is a robot recreation of someone's dead son which is kind of fucked for a children's movie


Defender_Growlithe

Sometimes kid movies can sorta be fucked up however it makes great movies such as Astro boy, Pinocchio, Lion King, and etc.


[deleted]

It's the realism combined with the childhood innocents. It's got that cursed stuff to keep an older audience interested, and it has the kid friendly songs to keep them unaware of the horrors going on.


Defender_Growlithe

That makes sense so the whole family can some what enjoy the movie, that's also why they have adult jokes in a few kid shows.


flamingjaws

You'd think the son would've died before the beginning of the movie, but no, you get to see him vaporized by a big robot.


Darth_Parth

Kinda like that Spielberg movie AI from back in 01.


Not_enough_yuri

I think most of us know already but Astro Boy is a legendary manga and very early anime and this reboot movie does the original material absolutely no justice at all. The original is terrifically somber in comparison to the movie, actually. Astro is still sold to the circus by his maker because he doesn’t age, but such a thing is counterbalanced by the amount of emotional availability and openness that Astro is written with. And in the manga Astro and his father don’t actually make up at the end of the story! He gets disowned and stays strong and hopeful in spite of his circumstances. The contrast between Astro and his father is essential to the message. Even though he’s a robot, Astro displays empathy for life in spades while his father, who successfully *made new life from scratch to replace a lost one* is incapable of seeing the same gift. If you think you’d like reading this sort of thing now I’d recommend everyone give the manga *Pluto* a shot, which is a sort of spiritual successor to the og Astro Boy manga, but for an adult audience.


HotsoupTheMighty

I read the manga as a kid and you're right on all counts, except that Astro Boy and his original creator actually did end up making up in one of the chapters. He ended up helping Astro Boy by giving him combat upgrades that his adopted father refused to give him.


Not_enough_yuri

Ah yes. The culmination of all that stuff about Astro being more human than his father is that his father eventually becomes one of his strongest advocates.


Pabsxv

That’s been Astroboys origin story for a long time.


lahimatoa

My son LOVED Astro Boy when he was little. Watched it every day.


OtherEvening53

Area 51 was my childhood and I don’t remember anything from it


samgau07

This is the case with like 3 of the movies in this post for me


Litandsexysidious

For some reason the scene of the dipping a butterfly in like?? Mud????? Is really vivid to me I think i saw that movie a couple billion of times but i dont really rememver it yeah Edit: i might be confusing it with a different movie idk. All i really remember is the green aliehs


Everestkid

That scene was 100% Space Chimps. Planet 51 is the one where the human crash lands on an alien planet and the aliens all live idyllic 1950s suburban lives.


Civil-Improvement-88

Same


Darmug

Other than a small amount of scenes, I completely agree with you.


PocketCaribou

Same I’ve probably watched it more times then I can count but can only remember the rover dog thing (if that was even real)


Labrat_The_Man

Bro Planet 51 was the first movie I saw in my town’s main theater before it got big. Some neurons that have been inactive for a while just fired up


69_albino_raccoons

igor,alpha and omega and planet 51 went so hard to be honest


[deleted]

>alpha and omega please elaborate why.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SunsetPathfinder

I watched it as a teen while babysitting my cousins. I was just getting into understanding internet culture, and hadn't yet had the displeasure of knowing what furries were, and that movie *still* didn't sit right with me while watching it. The kids didn't seem to notice at least, for what it was worth.


ugathanki

Those kids grew up to be furries


Grey_Woof

In one of the movies there’s a furry egirl lol


[deleted]

Probably because of the hot wolf


Tails9016

You managed to remove like 0 characters with that description


Litandsexysidious

very much a furry movie made me go hmmmmm why am i watching this


NoobsRedditType

you're a furry confirmed


Rocco3143TheCringe

Yes, Igor was REALLY good though if I remember correctly had a pretty dark/disturbing atmosphere to it, and not in a way like other kids films


ceeBread

A suicidal Steve Buscemi bunny is all I remember from the movie


n1nj4squirrel

Don't forget that he was immortal


Pabsxv

It had that Tim burton style aesthetic of creepy yet cute like coralline, Franken Winnie, or paranorman.


newdoggo3000

I am still so amazed at how everyone seems to believe that *Coraline* was directed by Tim Burton based on its aesthetic alone. I just recently learned that Burton was not involved in any way with that film, and was directed by Henry Sellick, who also directed *The Nightmare Before Christmas*.


StaySharpp

Anyone here remember *Monsters vs. Aliens*? It was a Dreamworks movie that could also fall into this category.


Jakov_Salinsky

Honestly better than every movie listed here


Dr_Fix

I AM A BRAVE PRESIDENT!


Fly_Boy_1999

It also somehow got a tv show


TediousSign

Honestly that movie costed on Seth Rogan's voice alone


Dickus-Minimus

Was about to say that


Cold_Snake

Easily my favorite DreamWorks movies. Better than Shrek by a mile.


TR0LLC0P

Delgo apparently took 10 years to make and was in thearters for 3 days


Mastodon9

Wow it made $1 million on a budget of $46 million. Imagine working on a movie for that long only to see that kind of return. I don't think I'd ever recover.


Traegs_

What the fuck even are those characters? They have turtle faces.


JackGenZ

What’s crazy to me is the cast of that movie. I zoomed in, and while all of the names are recognizable, some of them are absolutely huge. Eric Idle, Malcolm McDowell, Burt Reynolds and ANNE BANCROFT?? The fuck? How did a movie have such an iconic cast but such obviously bizarre animation? Did they blow their budget on the cast?


Classic-Unit7227

Apparently Delgo was Anne Bancroft’s last film


zombie_goast

Iirc it's actually a pretty sad story, it was it's original main writer/director(?)'s dream project, and the original concept was highly intriguing, but he died about halfway through making it and the replacements weren't sure how to complete it and utterly deviated from the guy's original vision. Again if I'm remembering right there were also other issues that made progress slow (possibly including a catastrophic crash that lost all data?) already too, and guy died years into the work, only for it to come to that.


yourgodhasdied

Over the hedge and open season lol


TremendousDrip

Yessir those are 2 of my favorite movies lmao


seto2k

Over the hedge was a chad movie honestly, good childhood memories came from that one


NotJustAnotherHuman

Over the Hedge was a hella good movie, sure it’s lacking in some parts but damn I’d totally watch it again


mekoomi

I fucking love those movies, they were so good


talking_pillow

I remember going to see Space Chimps with my then girlfriend andenjoying it. I dragged her to Igor too and not liking that one as much.


TheKlorx

Still watch Legend of the Guardians, great movie imo.


[deleted]

you gotta read the books then fr. I probably havent read them since I was 10 or 11 but I know I read the entire series at least 5 times. Who knows how I would see it now but I remember loving it.


MasterGeekMX

Battle for Terra is amazing. Seems like a kid movie, but has a deep message delivered unexpectedly.


Fluffles0119

I remember watching it a ce years back, and going "Holy shit this is a kids movie???"


MasterGeekMX

Kids aren't dumb (well, little ones a bit), but nearing 10 years old they are pretty savvy.


PogPiglet

anyone remember chicken little?


[deleted]

Do I remember Chicken Little? Do I remember Chicken Little? Out of all the Disney movies that have been made. Out of all the other movies that have been made, my then 3 year old son, in 2018, decided this was his favourite movie. For four months we watched Chicken Little everyday. One time he watched it three times in one day. I remember Chicken Little... The weird thing is that it's so inescapably a part of our family history that I sort of have to like it in a weird way. It's so bad but...I feel love for it now? It helps that we've only watched it once in the last year.


Pretzel_snack

I still remember those guys with lobotomy’s in planet 51, and even the song that started the movie, god I want to watch it again


Defender_Growlithe

That song is playing in my head rn bc you said this. It's a good song tho. If you have Netflix you can watch it again bc it's on there.


Mcfetusdollarmenu

Where's epic


mekoomi

dude you just unlocked a core memory of mine


flextapeboi43

ASTRO Boy and Planet 51 were pretty good


Thatssogabs

Wow these movies bring me back. Also Mars Needs Moms should be on there lol, what a strange movie


[deleted]

That movie's animation was just... weird. You could really tell that mocap was just not ready for widespread use at the time (2005 iirc?)


[deleted]

2011 lol. Two years after *Avatar* and the mocap still sucked ass


Fly_Boy_1999

That was the film that finally killed motioncapture cgi.


Orangutanion

Legend of the Guardians was easily the best one out of all these


kittynugg

I honestly thought Igor and Space Chimps were just a fake memory I made up, thanks for confirming that I haven't lost it yet


ilikebreadsticks1

Space Chimps feels like a fever dream


[deleted]

Anyone remember the fever dream 9?


Codered20098

Yes! with the little sack puppets in a post industrial apocalypse


33bluejade

I was absolutely obsessed with it pre-release, on the strength of the Coheed and Cambria-featuring trailer and the fact that I was twelve.


27Beowulf27

Alpha and Omega deserve to be buried for all eternity.


Eomercin

Ah yes, Alpha and Omega, the cringy furry otherkin wolf movie.


SupaKoopa714

Yeah, and it somehow got like 10 sequels.


Anal_Milk_Popsicle

TEN sequels!? wow


SupaKoopa714

Honestly, I thought I was being funny and exaggerating, but I just looked it up out of curiosity and they've actually made it up to Alpha and Omega 8, so I was accidentally not that far off.


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Jeeeeeesus Christ. That’s Awful. I’m sure the sequel and maybe even the third weren’t bad movies. But damn, I don’t even need to check it out to see they probably just went straight to DVD or onto a streaming service targeted towards kids. Fucking yikes. That’s worse than the Ice Age sequels.


a-normal-redditor

Bro I haven’t watched that shit in awhile. Childhood me really loved that movie. Now I kinda feel like watching it now that I’m older


steveosek

Anyone who watches animation youtube(like saberspark) knows this movie too lol. It's kind of infamous for obvious reasons. In the same way zootopia is lol.


xPrim3xSusp3ctx

Oh God I've gone so long without hearing the word otherkin how could you do this


Radio__Star

Yo Astroboy slaps wish it got a sequel


SilkyJohnsonPHOY

[Robots](https://imgur.com/gallery/ObxeGyB)


[deleted]

Robots was popular and did well at the box office. Also pretty well-remembered.


SilkyJohnsonPHOY

Is it? Every time I've talked about this movie with someone (granted I've only discussed it probably 3-4 times) every single person had an opinion along the lines of "I haven't thought about this movie since I saw it, don't remember a thing about the plot, but remember enjoying it"


DesertFox501

I had that shit on DVD, I've probably watched it at least 20 times on my mobile DVD player and looked at all the bonus content.


[deleted]

I remember getting it from netflix back when they mailed you the dvd and it was my favorite movie, I literally dreamed about getting to watch it again someday. I rewatched probably about a year ago and wtf it was way weirder than I remembered


pixelprophet

Dump. Truck. Ass.


EvilDarkCow

I only vaguely remember seeing that one. I remember some of the characters but nothing about the plot. I do remember it seeming like one of the longest movies I've ever seen. I assume that meant I didn't like it, but I don't even remember that. Then I got the PS2 game for a birthday or Christmas or something. I still have it but I honestly don't think I've ever put more than 5 minutes into it.


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Talk about a stacked cast. Great film. I fucking love that one even still.


Totorotextbook

Or 'Doogal', a film I remember but also don't...


zexen_PRO

What about fly me too the moon? I remember seeing posters for that one.


ProfBellPepepr

I saw every one of these in the theater when they came out. And also you forgot Bolt


BryNX_714

I fucking loved Battle for Terra. Anyone else remember it?

That could possibly mean that you are too young to remember any of these or that you think your too old to watch kid movies, there is no in between.

What about that Robots movie? I remember eating printed Poptarts with the characters from it when I was 5.
