Well, now that I got some updates on this year's lineup, here's my new updated thoughts list:
Hotel Transylvania: Transformania - Was this really worth all the drama? Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild - Like we really need another one! Turning Red - Not sure I want this, Pixar. The Bad Guys - This is gonna suuuuuuuck! Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood - Umm...Yay? Bob's Burgers: The Movie - Look, just because the show has fans doesn't mean I have to be one. Lightyear - I KNOW I WANT THIS, PIXAR! Minions: The Rise of Gru - Just cancel it already and give us another Secret Life of Pets movie! The Sea Beast - I got a bad feeling about this one! Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank - Oh, that's still happening? I nearly forgot about it! DC League of Super Pets - I'm not a superhero fan, but I am intrigued by this. Luck - I smell a rip-off. Wendell & Wild - This looks interesting, so why not? Strange World - Fingers crossed that Jennifer Le can pull off another masterpiece. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - Oh no! Not again! Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules - OH NO! NOT AGAIN! Pinocchio - We already have Disney's live action remake and the Pauly Shore film coming out this year! Don't you think this might be overkill?

Yeah, I did hear it has been pushed back to 2023.
Though, Oscar Isaac has gone on record to say that Spider-Man 2099 is a very serious Spider-Man, who is not as jokey or quippy as the other ones. He is probably not a big fan of pointing fingers too, is he?
I do hear there shall be a large production team on this, too! You hear on this?

It will probably be worth it. Maybe there is also some last-minute COVID concerns in there as well?

In a majority of places around the world, they’ve dropped a lot of their mandates and restrictions, and I haven’t heard a lot of concerns. I think they just need some more time to work on it to make sure it perfectly meets the standards that the fans are expecting out of it.

I almost forgot about AniMatt's review of The Bad Guys. Here are his scores for it:
Story: 5/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 9/10
Overall: 8/10 = 80%
Well, no seal of approval on this one. He did say that the plot was weak and predictable, but it got everything else right. Now, here's the rankings:
1. Turning Red - 87% 2. The Bad Guys - 80% 3. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania - 33% 4. Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck Wild - 33%

So I just looked up DC League of Super Pets. Turns out it’s been postponed to July 29! I so hope they don’t pull off another Animal Crackers on me for this one!

I know it will be nice to have the Rock and Kevin Hart reteam for another movie, but I still have some reservations about that one.

I just saw the latest trailer for Lightyear. It actually looks very similar to "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" with how it plays out. Do you know what I mean by that, babclayman? Also, I recognize the voice of Buzz's partner at the beginning. Was that...Oprah Winfrey? Anyway, what did you guys think of the trailer? I trust it'll be good.

It looks like AniMat has reviewed an unknown animated film that went straight to Netflix. This one is on Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood. Here are his scores:
Story: 4/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 4/10
Overall: 60%
So if he includes this in his final recap of the year, here is where the rankings currently stand:
1. Turning Red - 87% 2. The Bad Guys - 80% 3. Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood - 60% 4. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania - 33% 5. Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck Wild - 33%

Great news guys!
The Bob's Burgers Movie is coming this weekend and the reviews look awesome! Its RT score is currently at 93% and the critics' consensus is this:
The Bob's Burgers Movie offers all the heart, humor, and clever callbacks that fans of the show will be looking for while remaining an entertaining entry point for the unconverted.
Looks like we have a good one coming up this weekend!

Well, obviously it’s intended for the target audience, which is fans of the show, so it’s not for me.
