Since I won’t have enough time to review it before the end of the year, Soul isn’t going to be considered. It will, however, be my first review for 2021. And this will also be my last post for the year. I’m going to take the next week to rest, relax, and recharge my mind… Continue reading Best Animated Films of 2020

Worst animated films of 2020
Not a lot of movies came out this year. And I didn’t watch a ton of new movies.
