Animated Views is giving away $50 worth of movies during our 22nd Annual Oscar Event. And join us on Oscar night for a live chat with the AV team and fellow readers.

Critics, the Academy, Hollywood guilds, and even the Animated Views staff will tell you what they think. But now it’s your turn to be the critic! What was the best animated film of 2025?

Knights of Guinevere is a science fiction psychological thriller with bewitching animation, riveting characters to care for, and the promise of tantalizing world-building that make for a disturbing dream come true.

The uninitiated will struggle with the narrative and flashbacks. Yet the spectacular animation, breathtaking battle sequences, and rich character development will set the hearts of fans ablaze.

An exclusive recap of the annual convention, including coverage of the 30th Anniversary of Gundam Wing, the 10th Anniversary of Critical Role, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, Marvel Rivals, and Lucas Museum of Narrative Art with George Lucas.

Like its title character, Elio is sweet, engaging…and in search of an identity.

The guilds have had their say — now it’s down to us, with our picks for what stood out most in 2024, along with the results from our Reader’s Choice Poll!

The 97th Annual Academy Awards are tonight and we’ll be discussing it live with readers like you in our chat room. Join us as we talk the people, the story-lines, and the awards… and keep track of who’s winning our Oscar Contest.
