6 Animated Movie Sequels I Actually Want to See
I’m a big fan of animated movies, from new films like Nimona to the classics like the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. Some are better than others, obviously. And some are clearly just being pumped out to keep the brand alive. We’re right in the middle of several such instances, from Kung Fu Panda 4 coming out this week, to an unwanted, unadvertised Megamind sequel coming out last week, to the likes of Despicable Me 4, Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 coming out later this year.
As much as I herald the Kung Fu Panda movies are being truly amazing, I have zero interest in actually seeing the new, fourth film in theaters. I had no interest in seeing the new Trolls movie at all, even though I rather enjoyed the first two. And obviously we’ll never see the end of the Minions on the big screen. They’re unstoppable. But I’m not opposed to all animated sequels or even trilogies. There are some franchises that I’d love to see come back for another entry.
There’s no way to know if these proposed movies would be as good as I could hope…but sometimes hoping is all we need. Join me after the jump for six animated, franchise films that I’d love to see get a sequel!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is damn cool. Dinosaurs are already cool, and there is no cooler dinosaur than the T-Rex, the Tyrant Lizard King! Which is why the T-Rex is all over pop culture, from comics to cartoons to the big screen. I even modeled the villain of my new Gamer Girl & Vixen comic after a Tyrannosaur!
That’s right, I was able to tie this week’s List of Six back into my ongoing Kickstarter campaign! Such is the way of things. But Tyrannosaurus Regina is not yet a household name, so I had to put this list together out of known T-Rex characters in pop culture. The meanest, toughest, coolest and nicest Tyrannosaurs in pop culture even!
Join me after the jump for some pretty great Tyrannosaur characters!
Read the rest of this entryThe Borderlands Movie Looks Like a Lot of Fun!
I never played many of the Borderlands video games. I know I played some of the first, but that was about it. But the first trailer for the new Borderlands movie is out and it looks pretty fun! It looks heavily influenced by Guardians of the Galaxy, but I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Yeah, just looks like a wacky, silly, explodey good time. The cast looks great. The action looks great. The humor is pretty solid. Obviously it won’t be as good as what James Gunn himself could have done with the project, but there are far worse directors and movies to mimic. Let us hope they can pull off what they’re going for.
Borderlands comes to theaters on Aug. 9.

Watch Nimona Free on YouTube!
With the Oscars coming up soon, Netflix has decided to just put the entire movie Nimona up for free to watch on YouTube. The entire thing. Just straight up, the Nimona movie! It’s nominated for Best Animated Feature and is worthy of winning, in my opinion. As much as I loved Across the Spider-Verse, Nimona would be a great underdog winner. It’s a great film!
So watch and enjoy. I loved Nimona. And a lot of people these days are cancelling their Netflix. So if you haven’t seen Nimona yet, now is your chance! Make it happen!

6 Things I Want to See in The Fantastic Four by Marvel Studios
The Fantastic Four are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! They were announced years ago, and there have been casting rumors ever since. Welp, Marvel took the reins and revealed everything in a pretty awesome Valentine’s Day post last week. We’ve got actors, costumes and a whole 1960s vibe.
Personally, I was against the idea of setting the new Fantastic Four movie in the 1960s. I still think it’s more than possible to come up with some reason why the team can fit in the modern day MCU. But now that I see that artwork and its whole vibe, I am 100% on board with whatever Marvel has planned. I trust in Marvel Studios. I’m still a big fan of everything they’re putting out. I know they will do right by the Fantastic Four on the big screen now that they can. But I still have some ideas of my own!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four! And feel free to share your own hopes, dreams and thoughts in the comments below.
