We were pleasantly surprised by how cute and fun Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) was.

Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001) made us want to watch the show all over again.

#137. Osmosis Jones 26.05.2025 45:12 ↓

Warner Bros.' Osmosis Jones (2001) had a promising premise, but the live-action dragged it down.

#136. Millennium Actress 12.05.2025 39:05 ↓

Satoshi Kon's second film Millennium Actress (2001) is both heart-warming and heart-wrenching.

#135. Spirited Away 29.04.2025 1:09:18 ↓

In our discussion of Miyazaki's Spirited Away (2001), we dive into themes and folklore—and face a few fears.

Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) may not be amazing, but it deserves better than the score it has.

#133. Shrek 31.03.2025 55:51 ↓

Dreamworks' Shrek (2001) is such an iconic classic that it won the very first Oscar for best animated feature film!

Disney's Recess: School's Out (2001) is somehow nostalgic whether you've watched the show or not.

#131. The Emperor's New Groove 03.03.2025 1:19:52 ↓

Disney's The Emperor's New Groove (2000) is a fantastically quotable and meme-able cult classic!

#130. Rugrats in Paris: The Movie 17.02.2025 41:42 ↓

Klasky-Csupo's Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000) still feels of the 90s, but it was certainly better than the first movie.

#129. Blood: The Last Vampire 03.02.2025 29:18 ↓

Hiroyuki Kitakubo's Blood: The Last Vampire (2000) was a pleasant (and gory) surprise, considering its low rating.

#128. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust 20.01.2025 47:40 ↓

Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) is about as melodramatic as can be expected when you combine vampires and anime.

#127. Chicken Run 06.01.2025 50:55 ↓

Aardman's first feature film, Chicken Run (2000), is a quotable instant classic.

Titan A.E. may have been Don Bluth's last animated feature film, but it is still worth a watch.

Our nostalgia runs deep with DreamWorks' cult classic The Road to El Dorado (2000).

#123. The Tigger Movie 21.10.2024 39:58 ↓

Disney's The Tigger Movie (2000) is a harmless if ham-fisted kids movie that teaches us all a lesson about family.

#122. Fantasia 2000 08.10.2024 1:06:28 ↓

Disney's Fantasia 2000 (1999) was disappointing compared to the original film, but there were still moments that felt special.

#121. Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade 23.09.2024 34:58 ↓

Hiroyuki Okiura's Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (1999) had impressive art and animation, but a not-so-impressive story.

#120. Toy Story 2 09.09.2024 1:07:37 ↓

Toy Story 2 (1999) is a great sequel...but is it one of THE great Pixar films?

#119. The Iron Giant 26.08.2024 53:12 ↓

Brad Bird's The Iron Giant (1999) may have been a box office bomb, but it's a classic with a ton of soul.

We enjoyed the quirky, slice-of-life charm of Takahata's My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999).

#117. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut 29.07.2024 43:41 ↓

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) did not have to go that hard, but of course it did. Really long and really hard.
