I’m actually glad that I rarely focused much on new games this year. Because of this, I focused more on movies and man, was this year amazing. It started out sort of strong, and it just kept bringing in great titles afterwards with its usual surprises. It’s basically the opposite of last year.
Because a Top 10 wouldn’t do it justice, I’ve decided to make a Top 14 because… why not? However, I am only naming films that originally came out this year, so technical 2013 releases like The Wind Rises or Under the Skin don’t qualify.
When it comes to DreamWorks Animation, the films that often pop into peoples’ heads are Shrek, Madagascar, and Kung Fu Panda. One film in particular, at least to me, appears to be sandwiched between them. The one I’m talking about is How to Train Your Dragon. While not incredibly underrated or underexposed, as it does have a growing number of fans and both films so far are acclaimed by critics, I felt it was time to look back at the original since the sequel is out.
