5) Finding Dory
For over a decade, it seemed like Pixar’s reign over animation was unstoppable… Then Cars 2, Monsters University and Brave happened. Suddenly, the studio’s perfect streak was over and people began to question whether Pixar had begun to lose the unique quality that made their films so special.
Everything changed this year though when Inside/Out was released to huge critical acclaim, breaking the hearts of young and old worldwide. 2016 sees the release of Finding Dory, the sequel to Pixar’s now classic movie Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton has returned to direct the follow-up, focusing on the amnesiac fish Dory who is on a personal mission to be reunited with her family.
Pixar have an impressive track record on Rotten Tomatoes, scoring 100% with the first two Toy Story movies. Inside/Out notched up a respectable 98% this year and Finding Nemo scored 99%, so it seems likely that a sequel to the property could follow in the original’s footsteps and attain a near perfect rating.
