So I've made an observation with AniMatt's videos, and those of you who have been following his videos for a long time, I'm sure are aware of this pattern. Starting in 2011, he always capped off the year by revealing what he thought were the Top 5 Worst and Top 5 Best animated films of the year (in his opinion), and then ended the video giving his first look at the titles that were coming in the next year. Each one was supposed to be listed in the order they were chronologically supposed to be released, but as we have witnessed, there were some titles that were postponed to either later in the year, earlier in the year, the following year, or indefinitely, and some even canceled. I decided to go through his list for each year and reveal how much of those lists have stayed as they were, and how much of them have changed:
