Cartoon Animation

It’s been awhile I haven’t write another list for my blog, right now I’m gonna write about the best animation or cartoon film. I’m gonna write based on the story not just funny that can make you laugh but how you can learn about something or maybe something that can make you cry. So, here’s the list.

 

• Inside Out

  For me this movie really good but some people think that this movie got something dark behind it – like you will think there’s something inside our brain that controlling you what you’re gonna do, how’d you feel but for me it’s our own thought, there’s nothing inside us, just a soul – instinct – emotion. This movie released with Insidious chapter 3 and I read the news that the kids more into Insidious than Inside Out (weird) – but then Inside Out got the perfect score and positive response. The only message that I got from this movie was when we try to be happy and other emotion comes out and that is “SELFISH” we’re gonna do whatever to make ourself happy – no matter what.
