#73: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse

Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey ("Rise of The Guardians") and Rodney Rothman - and who expected this, a Spiderman movie, to be the standout movie of 2018?

One that has the focus on Miles Morales, not Peter Parker (so much)?

We had faith in Marvel, and knew Black Panther would be great.

But Sony? They couldn't get their Live-Action Spiderman right without Marvel's help, though I enjoy those Sam Raimi films.

And Sony Animation? Emoji Movie Sony Animation? Excuse me if my hopes were just kind of...mellowed.

But with the rising positive word of mouth and repeated instances of this being not only the best animated movie of the year, but one of the best period - my hopes rose too.

Many great movies have come out, but only a handful have made me consider placing them in my #1 spot of favorite movie ever, a spot that has been held by Kung Fu Panda since it's premiere day.

I think this is the film to finally take the crown.

#71: Ralph Breaks the Internet

I'm not using the original convoluted title. You can lampshade it, but the title should have been Ralph Wrecks the Internet. I'm this close to typing Wralph Wrecks The Internet half the time.

The first Disney sequel in the Animated Canon since Rescuers Down Under. The next one, Frozen 2, is a sequel as well. I don't think Disney is doing a single original movie next year. It's either remakes or conclusions.

Dumbo, Aladdin, Lion King, Star Wars Episode 9, Infinity War II. Artemis Fowl (which I am very, very excited for) is a long-gestating adaptation of the once-popular book series.

Oh, right. Ralph.

tldr; I really, really loved it.

I did not expect to, I was just happy to see Vanellope again. But Disney movies have an unusual talent of being released when I need to hear the message.

Film There and Back Again

What did I tell you?

So, I've actually shortened the name for round three, mainly because a lot of these are sequels, and also involve people playing similar roles that they've played before.

Other names I've toyed with;

• Same People, Different Day
• Filmmatically Correct 
• Fishing With Oscar Bait

Instead...Welcome to Film There and Back Again! This is looking a bit harder, a bit easier. This list used to be about eleven movies deep, but between moves and other nonsense (I seriously thought The Woman In The Window was this year), it's down to seven. Less than Winter/Spring, more than Summer.

Fun Fact; I wrote the initial draft in May.

You know the rules, one fourth are eligible passes.

Round Three will include;
