Ron's Gone Wrong (2021)

I intended to see this one in the theater, but either I missed it, or I don't know what happened, but I ended up wathicng in streaming. I thought this is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, they way it deals with the concepts of not fitting in, bullying, friendship and technology. The whole concpet of the B-bot was incredible, partially from a techonological stand point, and how useful it could be, and partially from they way it demonstarted that social media is taking over people (espeically kid's) lives. I think that if anyone could make a real world B-Bot, they would pretty much take over the world, over night.

The Secret of Kells (2009)

A collaboration between French, Belgian and Irish studios, I was surprised to find an Irish animated film, as this is only one of two that I know of to exist.

Stranger still, it is set in a Abbey, which doesn't seem like the kind of setting for a animated film.

It's great to see the Irish mythology come to life, as well as the music, which also captures that Irish feel.

While the animation has been praised, I felt the animation was a bit lacking as the animation style is quite simple, compared to and the CG features which are so plentiful today.

It is an interesting film to watch, but I feel that it doesn't make as big of an impression as some of the other animated films that have come out in the last decade.
