Here is a list of the top 10 animated comedy movies of 2011:
- Megamind
- Tangled
Megamind
Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell) is a comedy movie for children ages 7 and older about an evil maniac who finally defeats his long-time nemesis Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt) and then merrily goes about laying ruin to Metro City, reveling in the fact that he can now have anything he wants. But then, Megamind’s glee quickly turns to dissatisfaction as he realizes that the battle was half the fun and everything now comes too easy. Enter the nerdy Hal (voiced by Jonah Hill) into Tighten, a new hero for Megamind to battle. What Megamind doesn’t count on is that Tighten may not turn out to be as good as he’s meant to be. Nor does he anticipate falling in love with his old rival’s girl Roxanne Ritchi (voiced by Tina Fey). In the end, Megamind finds he must rethink his assumptions about good, bad, and what makes him happy.
Tangled
Disney’s Tangled is a music-filled adventure full of romance and comedy for kids and children ages 6 and older. The movie focuses on Rapunzel, a girl with long magical hair who’s lived her entire life imprisoned in a tower by her mother. Naturally optimistic and acquiescent, Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) rarely complains about her circumstances, but for her 18th birthday she longs to leave the tower to see the floating lights that appear every year on her birthday. Her mother (voiced by Donna Murphy) refuses her request, but when thief Flynn Ryder (voiced by Zachary Levi) climbs the tower to escape his pursuers, Rapunzel eventually decides to trust the young man and convinces him to help her escape to see the floating lights. Tangled is a masterful blend of comedy, adventure, passion, and drama combined with a fantastic music and the type of animation we’ve come to expect from Disney. The 3D effects add to the experience but most likely won’t really be missed in other formats where they are missing.
