I haven’t devoted as much time to animated feature films as I’ve wanted to. In order to combat this, I’ve decided to create an Animation Corner, where I will highlight two animated films every Friday. Some of them may be well-known and some of them may not be, but they will all be good films that I whole-heartedly recommend. I hope you’ll agree, and I will welcome any feedback and/or suggestions. I have two goals in mind: to highlight 100 animated films in 2013 and to learn more about animated films (especially ones that are made in other countries and are non-American productions).
