This week, we discuss a film we dreaded watching more than we dread the inevitable effects of global warming: Norm of the North. A godforsaken Rob Schneider vehicle, there is only a void where any heart and soul should be. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just so painfully empty. If you'd like to stare into the abyss, it is available to rent on most digital storefronts. 

 We also break down our top movies of this season! Come back in a week for the start of season 2!

WARNING: This episode has funky audio and funky fresh opinions about the Angry Birds movie and who is drinking piss in it.

This week, we discuss Angry Birds with someone who I am still shocked agreed to be on our podcast twice: Josh from the Angry Birds Drink Piss in the Angry Birds Movie Podcast. His charm and grace almost make you forget that this is a film where we watch an extended sequence of birds prancing in a stream, only to then watch a bird pee directly into that shimmering oasis.

You currently can't stream Angry Birds due to the impending release of Angry Birds 2, but you CAN rent it from most digital storefronts.

Follow us on Twitter or I'll keep talking about pee! @animatedopinio2

This week, we watched a five year old's spec script, which is still more successful than any movie you've ever written, Monster Trucks. We'll talk about the tumultuous development of the film, the failed toy deals, and how terrible we think the VFX is.  Monster Trucks is available to stream on Hulu and rent from most digital storefronts.

We're now a part of the Topless Robot podcast network! Please hold your congratulations and instead continue to listen.

This week, we analyze the age old question of which is the superior pet, cats or dogs, in 2001's Cats and Dogs. Spoiler alert: It's the puppets that performed all of the stunts. We also discuss why Jeff Goldblum can save any movie with the shortest of appearances and if our pets could star in a film without ruining it. Cats and Dogs is available to rent on most movie rental platforms.

This week we explore a French rock-opera about a part clock, mostly boy: Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. A beautiful film with a confounding soundtrack, we argue as to whether or not entirely redubbing it could save it. If you'd like to watch for yourself, it's available on Netflix!

This week, we try to figure out how anyone was cast in 2008's Space Chimps, a movie that manages to take 30 minutes of content and stretch it to 90 with no increase in story elements. Space Chimps is available on Amazon Prime, if you're really that curious about what the terrible aliens look like (it's not good.)

This week, we power through what can only be described as the 6th level of Hell, watching both Ratatoing and the Little Panda Fighter from well known knockoff house, Video Brinquedo. We also embark on our quest to find Quantum Quest, a NASA created animated movie that probably doesn't exist any more.

Follow us on twitter at @animatedopinio2, and please petition your local NASA branch to release Quantum Quest.

This week, your lovely and very patient hosts suffered through the 2011 motion capture disaster, Mars Needs Moms. Take pity on us as we speculate about the life of Robert Zemeckis, if Seth Green was paid enough for this, and why the alien's hips are a mile wide. If you have a Starz subscription you can stream the film, but otherwise, you'll have to rent this one.

There's two of us, so I guess it makes sense?

In this episode of Animated Opinions, we watch a George Lucas film where the female characters actually have agency! In Strange Magic, we talk about music licensing, terrible textures, and why even a disgusting hole filled bug can be kind of hot. Strange Magic is available to rent on all standard sites, but isn't streaming at the moment.

In our introductory episode, we punish ourselves by watching 2006's hit Kevin James film about male cows with udders, Barnyard.

We don't know why we did this either.
