‘Sausage Party’ only aims for low-hanging comedy fruit
When the primary antagonist of your movie is a literal talking douche, it’s fair to say that you’re not aiming for intelligent humor.

Mega stars master Megamind
Every animated film, no matter how well-written, can be made or broken by its cast.

These days, the fun of animated films is…
