Podcasts about best animated film

Welcome to Following Films, the show where we talk to the creators behind today's most compelling cinema. I'm your host, and today we're honored to be joined by filmmaker Amir Kovacs, director of the beautifully animated new feature, Book of Joshua: Walls of Jericho.Now available on major VOD platforms, Walls of Jericho is a powerful retelling of the biblical story from the Book of Joshua—a tale of faith, endurance, and divine triumph. Set after 40 years of wandering in the desert, the film follows Joshua and the Israelites as they confront the towering walls of Jericho with little more than their faith and God's instructions. What unfolds is a miraculous victory, brought to life through stunning animation and a moving score.The film has already garnered major festival recognition, winning “Best Animated Film” at the 2025 Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival and earning a top-three spot for “Best Picture” at the International Christian Film & Music Festival. It's a cinematic achievement that blends timeless storytelling with artistic innovation.Today, Amir Kovacs joins us to talk about adapting this epic for the screen, working with a global creative team, and the vision behind Walls of Jericho. Whether you're drawn to animation, inspired by stories of faith, or just curious about what goes into making a film like this, you're in the right place.

He delves into the challenges of balancing the director's vision with his own artistic sensibilities, and the importance of collaborating with other departments to create a cohesive visual experience.As the conversation turns to Ugetsu, Taneda explores the film's haunting aesthetic and the ways in which Mizoguchi's use of space and design elements contribute to its ghostly atmosphere. He draws comparisons between Ugetsu and other Japanese films of the era, highlighting the symbolic significance of water and the influence of Noh theater on the film's visual style.Ugetsu remains a timeless masterpiece, a testament to Mizoguchi's artistic vision and the power of cinema to transport audiences to otherworldly realms.

In this episode of Journey to the Blue Sky, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2017 Blue Sky Studios animated film Ferdinand based on the 1936 children's book Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf. Ferdinand is not like the other bulls. He's a sweet, kind, and gentle bull who loves flowers. But he is forced to become a bull to be sent away as a bull to compete in bullfights. As a young bull, he runs away and lives with a flower farmer and his daughter for several years. One day, he is captured and sent back to the ranch he grew up in and learns that the bulls must become ready to be sent to the bullfights, otherwise they'll be taking to the slaughterhouse. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $296 million dollars out of its $111 million dollar budget with mixed reviews with praising John Cena's portrayal as Ferdinand, but that the story and characters were forgettable. This would be the second Blue Sky Studios film that would be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, but lost to Coco. How does the film hold up?

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a 1971 children's science fiction/fantasy book by Robert C. O'Brien, with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The novel was published by the New York City publishing house Atheneum Books.   This book was the winner of numerous awards including the 1972 Newbery Medal.   Ten years following its publication, the story was adapted for film as The Secret of NIMH (1982).   The novel centres around a colony of escaped lab rats–the rats of NIMH–who live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer's plow.   The rats of NIMH were inspired by the research of John B. Calhoun on mouse and rat population dynamics at the National Institute of Mental Health from the 1940s to the 1960s.   After O'Brien's death in 1973, his daughter Jane Leslie Conly wrote two sequels to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.   The Secret of NIMH is a 1982 American animated fantasy adventure film directed by Don Bluth in his directorial debut and based on Robert C. O'Brien's 1971 children's novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The film features the voices of Elizabeth Hartman, Peter Strauss, Arthur Malet, Dom DeLuise, John Carradine, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, and Paul Shenar. It was produced by Bluth's production company Don Bluth Productions in association with Aurora Productions.   The Secret of NIMH was released in the United States on July 2, 1982, by MGM/UA Entertainment Co. under the United Artists label. It was praised by critics for its elegant and painstakingly detailed animation, compelling characters, and deep and mature plot, and won a Saturn Award for Best Animated Film of 1982. Though only a moderate success at the box office, it turned a solid profit through home video and overseas releases. It was followed in 1998 by a direct-to-video sequel, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, which was made without Bluth's involvement or input and met with poor reception. In 2015, a live-action/computer-animated remake was reported to be in the works. A television series adaptation is also in development by the Fox Corporation.     Opening Credits; Introduction (1.21); Background History (4.50); Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Plot Synopsis (6.15); Book Thoughts (11.37); Let's Rate (42.18); Introducing a Film (44.01); Secret of NIMH (1982) Film Trailer (46.00); Lights, Camera, Action (48.33); How Many Stars (1:33.30); End Credits (1.35.41); Closing Credits (1:37.18)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – Copyright .

Because we have consumed A LOT of content over the years, there are many pieces of media that we missed, or just never ended up on our radar. That is what inspired our newest series....Late To The Party! For this episode, we talk about Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, which won an Oscar this year for Best Animated Film.IMDB Synopsis: A father's wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child.

Have you ever wondered what it is like screenwriting inside the Marvel and Studio machine? Wonder no further, today we have screenwriter and director Joe Cornish. Joe was one of the writer's on Marvel's Ant-Man. The English comedian and filmmaker burst onto the scene in 2011 with his very successful film directorial debut, Attack The Block, starring John Boyega, who played Moses, a low-level crook, teenage gang leader, an orphan looking for respect around the block. The British sci-fi comedy horror film centers on a teenage street gang who have to defend themselves and their block from predatory alien invaders on Guy Fawkes Night.Cornish and his comedy partner, Adam Buxton form the successful duo, Adam & Joe an ironic pop culture sketch show which gained a lot of success in the UK alongside Cornish's long-term work in the UK TV entertainment industry. In 2011 he joined iconic directors, Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg as a writer for the screenplay and story for the 3D animated action-adventure film, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn --- co-written alongside Edgar Wright and Steven Moffat.Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor.This $135 million budget film grossed $374 million at the box office and received a plethora of nominations including Oscars for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, two BAFTA nominations for Best Animated Film and Best Special Visual Effects.Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Comic character, Ant-Man, along with Wright, Adam McKay, and Paul Rudd in 2015.Rudd, starring as Ant-Man is armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Similar to most Marvel Studio movies, the film carried a big budget of $169.3 million and grossed $519.3 million.His latest film, The Kid Who Would Be King (2019), which was written undirected by Cornish, joins a band of kids who embarks on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.Joe honestly, was extremely forthcoming and transparent about a lot of things; like what really happened behind the scenes on Ant-Man and what it's like to write inside the Marvel machine, working with filmmaking legends like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. And we also discuss his craft, how he approaches screenwriting and directing, and much more.Enjoy this conversation with Joe Cornish.

A 10-year-old boy named Jimmy Neutron wishes to go to the opening of a theme park, but was told by his parents he couldn't. Meanwhile, he sent a satellite made out of a toaster to try to connect with aliens for intergalactic peace. However, the aliens who received the satellite instead went to Jimmy's town and abducted all the adults. It's up to Jimmy and his friends to head over to the aliens' planet and save their parents before they are eaten by a chicken god. When the film premiered in theaters, it made over $103 million dollars in the box office it was met with mixed to positive reviews praising its CGI animation, adventure, humor, and charm. It was one of the first animated films to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, but lost to Shrek. The movie was so successful that it spun off into two animated series for Nickelodeon: The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Planet Sheen. It currently is rated at 74% at Rotten Tomatoes.

Book Vs Movie: “The Little Prince” The 1943 Novel Vs the 2015 Adaptation  The Margos say “Vive La France!” as we dive into the classic children's book The Little Prince by author & illustrator Antoine de Saint-Exupery originally published in 1943. The author was a successful poet, journalist, and aviator for many years before he was lost on a WWII mission off Marseille in occupied France in July 1944. Previous to his assumed death, he was the recipient of many awards including the Legion of Honor (1930 & 1939) and the U.S. National Book Award (1940.)  Saint-Exupery was visiting America during WWII and felt passionate about saving France from German occupation. One of his friends at the time was Charles Lindbergh who was an ardent anti-interventionist and part of the hero of The Little Prince is based on the appearance of Lindbergh's blonde son Land.  He and his wife Rose also lived in Quebec for a while where he was inspired by philosophers trying to make sense of war and how France can regain its independence and Democracy. Even though he was well in his 40s--Saint-Exupery served in the French Air Force and served in several missions before his plane disappeared.    The Little Prince would eventually become one of the most successful children's books in the history of publishing translated into over 300 languages and adapted as a film, opera, radio theater, and ballet. The narrator begins the story by telling the audience he doesn't trust adults as they do not receive things “normally.”  He begins conversations by showing them a picture of a snake eating an elephant and the grownups always said it looks like a hat.  The narrator is an aviator who crashes his plane in the Sahara desert. With only a few days of supplies, he meets a little blonde boy (The Little Prince) who tells his life story beginning as an alien from another planet (an asteroid.) He talks about being in love with a “vain” rose and then leaving that planet to save others who need him.  This includes six other planets: One with a king with no subjects A man who needs to be admired all of the time A man who drinks to forget  A rich businessman who can't see the beauty of the stars A lamplighter An old geographer who teaches about “ephemeral” being The Little Prince travels across planet earth and meets many creatures and people who help him grow as a person. (There are so many lessons here. It is hard to name them all!)  The 2015 animated film was directed by Mark Osbourne and features the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Bud Cort & Albert Brooks (!) and beautiful visuals throughout. It also has a young girl as our protagonist which is one of the major changes in the adaptation.  The movie did very well with critics and won the 2016 Cesar Awards for “Best Animated Film.”  So between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupery  The different adaptations over the years of the material  The terribly sad "real" ending of the story and what we thought of it as children The cast: Riley Osbourne (Little Prince,) Mackenzie Foy (the little girl,) Jeff Bridges (Aviator,) Rachel McAdams (mother,) Marion Cotillard (the Rose,) Benecio del Toro (the Snake,) Albert Brooks (Businessman,) Paul Rudd (the Adult Prince,) Paul Giamatti (Academy Teacher,) Bud Cort (the King,) and Ricky Gervais (the Conceited Man.)  Clips used: The Little Girl meets The Aviator The Little Prince trailer The Little Prince meets the King The Little Prince meets The Conceited Man The Little Prince meets The Businessman The Little Prince meets The Rose The Little Prince soundtrack Hans Zimmer & Richard Harvey Book Vs Movie is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

He's a sheep, there's an alien, how good could this movie possibly be? Well, after the Oscar Nomination for Best Animated Film of the year, it must be pretty darn good. But Gary and Philip weigh in on whether or not this movie abducts the fun, or blasts the comedy!

After a long hiatus, The Cinematic Schematic returns for a special episode to give listeners, cinephiles and people hoping to be impressive at this Sunday night's 92nd Academy Awards watch parties everything they need to build a semi-accurate-ish Oscar ballot. Tune in to the conversation to prepare yourself for the Oscars 2020! Laron Chapman and I are back for our annual tradition of making the Oscar predictions that will either make your ballots shine or go down in a blaze of glory. Following last year's surprising (and according to your hosts, disappointing) victory for Green Book, can the Academy pivot in a different direction? Who will win this year's Best Picture? Will it be a historic win for Bong Joon-ho‘s surprise hit, Parasite? Or will it be the current front-runner coming off the PGA win, 1917? Perhaps it will be one of the surprise box office hits of 2019, Joker? It's shaping up to be a race worth remembering. For a deep dive conversation into Caleb's conversation with Harold Storey on the 2020 Best Animated Film nominees, make sure to listen to the latest episode of the Tunes/Toons podcast.
