I’m Surprised That Two Of My Favorite 2025 Movies Were Animated, And There Are Four More That Nearly Made The List

I don’t consider myself a big animation enthusiast, especially since my kids are getting older and I’ve probably seen enough Minions to last a lifetime! I appreciate any movie – animated or not – that’s clever and fun, so I was really surprised that two of my favorite films this year turned out to be animated: KPop Demon Hunters and Love Me. Let’s talk about those, and some other standout animated movies from 2025.

James Cameron Has a Backup Plan for Avatar

James Cameron considered writing a book series based on Avatar if other ideas, like a press conference or a stage show, didn’t pan out. However, he’s skeptical it would be successful, pointing out that people aren’t reading as much these days. He thinks a series written by him might change that, and it’s worth exploring the possibility.

Why Friends Should Have Never Rewritten Monica & Chandler’s Origin Story

Many people still consider Friends to be one of the greatest TV shows ever made. It follows the lives of six friends – Monica, Chandler, Rachel, Joey, Ross, and Phoebe – as they deal with work, love, and life in New York City during their twenties. The show is famous for its memorable relationships, though some storylines, like the one between Monica and Chandler, might have been better left unexplored.

Song Sung Blue Will Take You On A Wild Ride, And Even Director Craig Brewer Knows The True Story Is ‘Unbelievable’

Coming in 2025, Song Sung Blue is a unique and interesting movie. Directed by Craig Brewer, it’s a musical based on the true story of a couple who create a tribute band to Neil Diamond. The film follows their journey with the band, as well as the ups and downs of their personal relationship. Brewer has acknowledged that the story might sound unbelievable, and he understands why some people might find it hard to believe.

Creator Behind 1 of the Best Mecha Anime of All Time Talks Opening the Door to U.S. Fans

In a recent interview discussing his new film, Shoji Kawamori also talked about Macross. He noted some connections between the classic mecha series and Labyrinth, but pointed out that the anime landscape is very different now. Considering this, and the history of Macross, it seems likely that the series might have become much more popular in the West if its various anime installments had been released internationally earlier.

REVIEW: “Anaconda” (2025)

The new movie, also called “Anaconda,” is a self-aware reboot of the 1997 classic. Director Tom Gormican, along with co-writer Kevin Etten, tries to capitalize on people’s fondness for the original. However, the film doesn’t quite deliver on either the humor needed for a comedy or the excitement you’d expect from an action movie.
