Cartoon rating
So let's get started! Let's start our rating of cartoons with modern full-length and multi-part films. We will pay attention to both foreign and domestic manufacturers. The cartoons presented below will be aimed at children starting from primary school age. A selection for babies is presented at the end of the article.
"History of toys"
Today, under this franchise, 3 full-length films have already been released. The last one, released in 2010, is Toy Story: The Great Escape. Nevertheless, the first part, which saw the light in the distant 1995, had the greatest success, of course. At one time, this cartoon has won many awards, including "Annie". And this is not surprising, if only because two of the largest animated companies, Disney and Pixar, took up its creation.
The plot is based on the adventures of living toys, among which stands out the cowboy Woody living in the room of a boy named Andy Davis.
"Toy Story: The Great Escape" is a continuation of the previous parts and tells about the adventures of all the same heroes. The cartoon received critical acclaim and great success with the audience. He was awarded two large prizes - the Oscars and Golden Globes.
"Toy Story" is a naive and cute cartoon that talks about friendship, devotion and fidelity.
"Madagascar"
The rating of cartoons continues a rather sensational series of feature films. To date, 3 parts have been released. The picture tells about the adventures of animals sent from the New York Zoo to the wild after their failed escape. The main characters are Marty's zebra, Alex lion, Melman giraffe and Gloria hippo. The cartoon is full of humorous scenes and jokes. The creator of Madagascar is DreamWorks Animation.
In 2014, another film from this series was released - “Penguins of Madagascar”. But this time, the focus was on the secondary characters of the previous parts - penguins. Their story begins in childhood when they were still living in Antarctica.
"Madagascar" - a fun adventure cartoon with charming characters. There is no great didactic orientation in it, it is rather just entertainment for the child.
"Cold heart"
Frozen is a Disney production cartoon. He was favorably received by critics and was a huge success with the audience. He received many awards, including the Oscar, Golden Globe, Annie.
The cartoon tells of two princess sisters. The eldest, Elsa, from childhood possessed magical powers. Somehow, she accidentally wounded her little sister Anna. From this moment, the girl began to be afraid of her abilities. Years passed. Sister has matured. The coronation of Elsa is approaching, but on the eve of the holiday, her abilities are getting out of hand.
Among the advantages of the cartoon is not only a fascinating script, beautiful graphics and music, but also a rich semantic load. The feature film tells about friendship, betrayal, true love and sacrifice.
“Rapunzel: A Tangled Story”
By all accounts, the best cartoons are cartoons created by Disney Studios. And this is confirmed with every picture released by the company.
So, the story of Rapunzel, published in 2010, was a huge success with small spectators. True, contrary to the canons, the princess imprisoned in the tower did not wait for the prince, but for the thief, while the heroic role of the savior went to the white horse, but all together it turned into an exciting adventure.
The cartoon talks about the consequences of greed and selfishness, which are embodied in the evil stepmother of the main character.
"Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf"
New cartoons released by the Russian animation studio "Mill" are also interesting. Like this one, for example. The first part of the series, released in 2011, was a huge success with critics and viewers, she became the leader of the Russian film distribution in 2012. At the moment, the cartoon has two less successful sequels.
The plot was based on Russian folk tales. The main character is Ivan, who by chance turns out to be the groom of the royal daughter. True, before the wedding, he still has to accomplish many deeds in which the Gray Wolf and the Scientist Cat will help him.
