8 Animated Movies That Redefined Modern Animation
Animation is over a century old, with its origins dating back even further. However, the medium is at an all-time high in popularity right now, with shows such as One Piece and movies like KPop Demon Hunters taking over the globe with overwhelming fame. But modern animation didn’t just end up here; there was a clear path set up by many influential works, and some of the best animated movies of all time.
Some of the best animated movies today are inspired by legendary classics or modern masterpieces, which is why this list highlights eight animated movies that redefined modern animation. Based on style, groundbreaking aspects, influence, originality, popularity, critical acclaim, and overall quality, these eight animated movies redefined what it means to be an animated movie.
8
‘Klaus’ (2019)
This list has a couple of Christmas movies, but considering the holiday is a treasure trove of animated classics, it shouldn’t be too surprising. One of the most recent entries featured is Klaus, which follows the lowest-rated postman being sent to the North Pole, where he encounters a peculiar individual named Klaus (J.K. Simmons).
Klaus is one of the greatest modern Christmas movies for many reasons, including its wholesome story, timeless themes, stylized art, and dynamic lighting. The last element specifically redefined how modern animated movies are made, highlighting beautiful lighting that enhanced the film as a whole, leading other movies to follow suit.
7
‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ (2009)
There are a couple of stop-motion movies on this list, including Fantastic Mr. Fox, directed by the legendary Wes Anderson. After the titular character can’t control his animal instincts, he is kicked out of the community and forced to survive with his family in the wild, relying on his dormant animal instincts.
Fantastic Mr. Fox didn’t necessarily change stop-motion in general, but it redefined how it is used, viewed, and portrayed. In a medium focused on flawless, fluid motions, it adopted a rough, tactile, handmade aesthetic that added a sense of realism. Anderson transitioned his iconic cinematography to animation, resulting in a stunning movie with a sophisticated feeling. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a peculiar film, but that added spice made it a unique blend that captured the hearts of fans and other creators alike.
6
‘Akira’ (1988)
Anime has done a lot of heavy lifting to get animation in the mainstream, and one of the most influential classics of this medium is Akira. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where Neo Tokyo is full of gangs and corrupt officials, the movie follows the leader of a bike gang searching for his kidnapped friend, who was experimented on, giving him psychic powers.
Akira isn’t exactly a modern movie, but even as the oldest film featured on this list, its influence continues into the modern day. It did wonders for how anime is viewed, providing a dark, complex story that changed the culture surrounding it. Not to mention, Akira features gorgeous art and hand-drawn animation that kept the technique alive, with its legacy still impacting modern anime films. This anime movie also defined the cyberpunk style, which many other animated and live-action films adopted.
5
‘Loving Vincent’ (2017)
Animation is art, but Loving Vincent took things to another level. Paying homage to Vincent van Gogh, this movie follows the man who delivered Van Gogh’s final letter before his death. However, questioning the mysterious circumstances around his passing, the deliveryman suspects foul play and investigates the murder to find the truth.
Loving Vincent is the most ambitious animated movie of all time, being entirely comprised of oil paintings — over 65,000 to be exact. Based on 94 of the legendary artist’s paintings, this movie accomplished an impossible task and, in the meantime, proved animation can still innovate. No other film has recreated this feat, but Loving Vincent looks like a painting and still redefined what the medium could be.
4
‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (1993)
The second stop-motion film on this list is The Nightmare Before Christmas, one of the best Christmas and Halloween movies of all time. Bored with Halloween, Jack Skellington (Christ Sarandon) discovers a mysterious portal that takes him to a new world full of joy and cheer. He is now determined to capture Santa Claus and take over Christmas for himself, delivering his spooky gifts to all the children of the world.
The Nightmare Before Christmas saved stop-motion, preventing it from becoming a relic of the past and making it a celebrated medium. The film also revitalized interest in gothic storytelling and Halloween, revamping the genre, which remains popular today. A lot of today’s influence can be seen in The Nightmare Before Christmas, which redefined animation by bringing stop-motion back into the limelight and popularizing its distinct spooky style that defined an entire genre.
3
‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ (2018)
Everyone knows and loves Spider-Man, but Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduced Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) to the world. After Miles becomes the new Spider-Man, he needs to learn how to be a hero while helping the other Spider-People return to their respective universes. However, Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) and other villains make this task much harder than it needs to be.
After 20 years of similar CGI styles, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduced a new aesthetic that proved CGI could be so much more. Its comic-book atmosphere and vibrant style redefined the modern animated-movie look, with its DNA evident in many new films. This movie established a new iconic visual language that almost every new film has followed, proving it is one of the most ambitious animated movies.
2
‘Spirited Away’ (2001)
This list wouldn’t feel right without at least one Studio Ghibli film, one of the greatest animation studios of all time. Their magnum opus is Spirited Away, which follows Chiyo, a young girl who moves to a new house. However, when her parents are cursed, she must travel to the supernatural resort to find a way to reverse it. Working together with whimsical creatures, Chiyo goes on a magical journey throughout the mysterious resort.
Studio Ghibli is known for its moments of stillness, where it relies solely on atmospheric storytelling, and Spirited Away highlighted its importance, leading many more films to adopt this technique. It also features stunning hand-drawn animation, some of the best of all time, which remains a spectacle even compared to modern films, proving the magic is still there and that it should be preserved. Spirited Away further established anime as high art, making the medium even more popular and groundbreaking.
1
‘Toy Story’ (1995)
If Studio Ghibli isn’t the greatest animation studio ever, then it is Pixar, whose first work is also their most influential, Toy Story. When Andy (Donald Reignoux) buys a new and improved toy, Buzz (Tim Allen), his old favorite, Woody (Tom Hanks), must reluctantly work with him to get back home after they are mistakenly thrown into the trash.
Before Toy Story, CGI was a gimmick used for backgrounds and occasional moments, but when it became the first fully CGI movie, it shifted the landscape in a big way. Most animated movies now use CGI, and it all started with Toy Story, proving that it redefined modern animation more than any other series. The entire animated trilogy is flawless, but this first movie in particular triggered the migration away from 2D to 3D. Not to mention, it also focused on digital cinematography, which enhanced how animated films were presented, yet another influence that changed animation forever.

Kelly Osbourne walked onto the BRITs stage carrying more than a trophy.
Just months after losing her father, Ozzy Osbourne, she stood before a packed arena to honor his legacy, only to log on later and find her own body picked apart online.
What should have been a powerful family moment quickly turned sour. Now, the 41-year-old star is calling out the cruelty, refusing to let grief become gossip fodder.

Kelly Osbourne Faced Brutal Comments After Honoring Ozzy
Kelly Osbourne attended the BRIT Awards in Manchester to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement award on behalf of her late father, Ozzy, who passed away in July 2025.
The night was meant to celebrate his legendary career. Instead, it became another example of how public figures are scrutinized at their most vulnerable.
Dressed in a black gown with a feathered jacket, she posed for photos before stepping inside to mark an emotional milestone for her family.
While Kelly stood proudly beside her mother, Sharon Osbourne, at the Co-op Live Arena, social media lit up with commentary about her appearance.
The online reaction focused less on Ozzy’s legacy and more on Kelly’s slimmer frame, sparking a wave of commentary that quickly crossed the line from curiosity into cruelty.

Kelly Says The Timing Made It Worse
In the aftermath, Kelly Osbourne didn’t stay silent. She addressed the backlash directly, making it clear that the criticism hit during an already painful chapter in her life.
“There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” she shared after the event, per the Daily Mail.
The singer went on to describe feeling attacked at her lowest point, adding, “Kicking me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most.”
Kelly emphasized that such kind of behavior doesn’t demonstrate toughness. “None of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of character,” she said.

Opening up further, she admitted she was going through the hardest time in her life, and the timing wasn’t appropriate for her to defend herself.
However, Kelly clarified that she won’t sit and allow herself to be dehumanised in any way. For the star, the issue wasn’t simply about appearance; it was about empathy.

Kelly Osbourne Receives Support Amid Trolling
Amid the negative comments about Kelly’s appearance, support poured in, including from Mia Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
Mia posted a passionate message backing Kelly and captioned it, “How hard is it to not be a d**k?”
Kelly reposted the model’s post on her Instagram stories. In the write-up, Mia urged people to show more empathy and reminded critics that “public grief is not public property.”
“Grief can change a person. That doesn’t make their body a topic for debate. Before you comment on someone’s body, consider the possibility that they’re carrying something heavier than your opinion,” she continued.

Tyler also praised Kelly’s strength, saying there is “real strength” in standing in the public eye while coping with personal loss, and urged that the least the public could do was to show the same grace in return.
“Kindness costs nothing. Cruelty costs character. It’s unsettling how people will dissect someone’s appearance instead of honoring their courage. If you have the energy to comment, you have the energy to be kind. Choose accordingly,” she finished.
Kelly Has Been Battling Body-Shaming For Months
The BRITs controversy isn’t the first time Kelly Osbourne has dealt with scrutiny over her appearance.
In recent months, her noticeable weight loss has sparked speculation and concern, particularly during a front-row appearance at London Fashion Week.
Attending the Ascot Millinery Collective’s presentation at Claridge’s in Mayfair in February, Kelly appeared slimmer, prompting whispers about her health.
As The Blast reported, Kelly later posted a screenshot of one particularly disturbing message that read, “Looks like a dead body. She’s too thin and fragile. Looks like she’s going to see her dad soon,” followed by laughing emojis.

Her reaction was swift and furious. “Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!” she noted, also sharing responses from followers who were equally appalled.
Sharon Osbourne Slams The Body-Shaming Comments About Kelly Osbourne
Sharon isn’t pleased with the constant trolling Kelly has received over her weight loss.
As The Blast reported in December, the icon addressed body-shaming of her daughter in an episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Sharon explained that the obvious reason for her dramatic weight loss is that Kelly “can’t eat right now” as she was grieving the death of her father.
The TV personality told host Piers Morgan that Kelly had been struggling with appetite and emotional pain after Ozzy’s passing and that critics should consider her grief-driven situation before judging her appearance.
In the interview, she questioned why people would spend time making hurtful comments online, suggesting that those attacking Kelly were unhappy individuals using social media as a “shield” to spread negativity.

Sharon’s defense emphasized that Kelly’s recent weight loss isn’t about drugs or deliberate transformation, but rather a very human response to profound loss.

Everything we know about “Industry ”season 5 (and what the creators have said about the show's conclusion)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/industry-Marisa-Abela-Kit-Harington-030226-4ce2ac9a79654b50a6211eb00fda533b.jpg)
HBO has revealed that season 5 will be the series’ last outing.
‘Traitors’ Winner Rob Rausch
I Won’t Betray My Secret Girlfriend!!!
Published
TMZ.com
Rob Rausch kept a secret on ‘Traitors’ for months … and, it looks like he’s keeping a few more now the show’s over … holding the details of his relationship close to his chest.
We caught up with Rob — who attended the MAC Cosmetics Sephora Launch in New York City Monday night — and we had to ask about his relationship, which stunned fans of the show.
ICYMI … the ‘Love Island’ alum revealed on the Season 4 reunion last week he’s actually been dating a woman for a few months. Many fans thought he had some serious chemistry with fellow contestant Maura Higgins … but, while they are certainly friends, it was apparently all for the show.
If fans were hoping to learn more about Rob’s new flame, they’ll be sorely disappointed … Rausch says he’s not telling anything about his better half yet … because he doesn’t want the world in his business.
As for his relationship with Higgins — and whether she’s mad about him stringing her along — Rausch says there’s no ill will … even telling us Maura told him she’d have done the same in his situation.
The entire cast was cool despite Rausch betraying them all, he says … so, it sounds like no bridges burned.
But, if you want to know what Rob’s GF thought of his lying abilities on the program … don’t hold your breath!
Eric Nam made it until the very end of season 4 of “The Traitors“; however, he left the Scottish castle empty-handed after being betrayed by his co-star, Rob Rausch.
“If I had done that, I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself in that way,” Nam told producers during the finale episode. “It’s just a different line in the sand that we have. Money is great, but I think relationships are more important. And it doesn’t feel good.”
In a new interview, Nam got even more candid about what was going through his mind during the final moments of “The Traitors” finale, and even revealed the three-word DM he received from Rausch after filming concluded.

Was Eric Nam Expecting Rob Rausch To Betray Him During ‘The Traitors’ Season 4 Finale?
For those who might’ve missed it, Rausch was named the sole winner of season 4 of “The Traitors.” His victory came in the final moments of episode 10 after he and his “Love Island” ally, Maura Higgins, voted to send Olympian Tara Lipinski home, followed by Nam.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Nam discussed what was going through his mind during that moment, including whether he believed Rausch would turn on him.
“At that moment, there was no doubt. I was genuinely floored,” Nam said. “There’s a confessional where I was like, ‘Would he do this?’ And I was like, ‘No.’ And so there were a few times that crossed my mind, but I was like, no.”

How Was Nam Feeling After He Was Betrayed By Rausch, His Fellow Traitor, During The Final Moments Of The Finale Episode
Unfortunately for Nam, the unthinkable happened—something he said made him feel “really dumb” and “very sad.”
The only silver lining was that filming had officially wrapped, and Nam could return to his regular life. “It was three and a half weeks, and mentally and physically just really exhausting to constantly be on edge and constantly paranoid,” he said.
“It was a lot. So I was relieved to be done, but more than anything, I was like, “You know what? I had a really good time. This has been a lot of fun, but I’m so glad it’s over,” he added.

Inside The Three-Word DM Rausch Sent Nam After Betraying Him During ‘The Traitors’ Final Roundtable Ceremony
After Nam was eliminated from the series, he said he heard from Rausch through social media DMs a few days after. “… his literal words were, ‘My fault, G,’” Nam, who opened it but chose not to respond right away, said.
After some time, however, Nam said he had come around and had ended up connecting with Rausch, assuring the “Love Island” alum that everything was good between them.
“And then we didn’t talk for a long time until I guess recently because I was like, ‘What do we talk about?’” Nam joked.

Nam Wasn’t The Only Season 4 Contestant Who Left The Show Crestfallen
Nam wasn’t the only “Traitors” cast member who was disappointed by how things played out during the finale. According to a report from The Blast, Lipinski described herself as “heartbroken” when she realized she was being voted out by her fellow co-stars, specifically Higgins, whom she believed she successfully convinced to vote for Nam and Rausch moments before the final roundtable.
“I was for sure because we had a long conversation about it, and she was like, ‘I am all in. I’m all in. We are gonna get Eric. He’s gonna be so shocked what is gonna happen,’” Lipinski said. “And I went back to Johnny. I was like, ‘We did it! We just we won!’ And so at the roundtable, I was just blown away the first time. Because I believed it!”

She later explained feeling “bad” when she realized Higgins would soon learn Rausch’s true identity in the game.
“I didn’t know how it was gonna unfold exactly or how Rob would tell her, but I knew it was coming. So it was heartbreaking because at that point, I realized she just blindly trusted him and it was gonna be a huge, huge shock,” she said.
Why Kylie Kelce Was Annoyed With The Show’s Producers
Another report from The Blast details Kylie Kelce’s annoyance with “The Traitors” producers. During an episode of the “Green Light” podcast, Kylie discussed her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce’s, performance on the show and explained why she believed the 73-year-old received an unfair shake.
For those unfamiliar, Donna was the series’ first-ever “Secret Traitor,” meaning she had to plot and kill alone, while the show’s other Traitors, comprised of Candiace Dillard Bassett, Lisa Rinna, and, of course, Rausch, played together.
Donna was eliminated during episode 3 after the majority of the cast sniffed her out, something Kylie said “annoyed” her. “I’m a little annoyed that she was a Secret Traitor,” Kylie said. “For some reason, her being a Secret Traitor has irked me to a degree I can’t explain.”

“I wanted her to have her best chance to team up with people to really get a little sneaky with things,” she added. “If she were a Traitor, but not the Secret Traitor, I think she would have nailed it.”

Taylor Sheridan and Harry Potter Set to Go Head-to-Head Following Huge Paramount Announcement
After Netflix withdrew its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Skydance swooped in with a blockbuster move of its own. In a deal estimated at $110 billion, Paramount has agreed to acquire WBD — and now CEO David Ellison has confirmed the next big step. Combining the companies means sharing IPs after all, you’ve got the upcoming HBO series reboot of Harry Potter on one side, and the ever-expanding empire of Taylor Sheridan, including Yellowstone and its growing slate of spin-offs. So what does that mean for us?
It means the merging Paramount+ and HBO Max into a single, unified platform. Yes, that means cowboys and wizards are about to share the same digital ranch. During a call with investors, Ellison made it clear just how stacked this new mega-service would be.
“Our combined company will be home to many of the greatest, most recognizable and beloved franchises in the world, from ‘Harry Potter’ to ‘Top Gun,’ ‘Star Trek’ to ‘Looney Tunes,’ ‘Game of Thrones’ to ‘Yellowstone.’ This represents a tremendous opportunity, and we fully intend to invest in the creative engines of both studios, making them the most sought-after destination for the industry’s leading creative talent.”
Ellison also reassured investors that HBO’s identity won’t be diluted in the shuffle: “Our viewpoint is HBO should stay HBO,” he said, emphasizing that the brand’s creative autonomy will remain intact. He further pledged to maintain a robust theatrical slate — 15 films per year, per studio — meaning at least 30 theatrical releases annually.
What Does This Mean For HBO Max?
With a projected subscriber base exceeding 200 million, the combined service would instantly become one of the biggest players in the streaming wars. It’s the latest example of industry consolidation, following moves like the bundling of Disney+ and Hulu.
The merger brings together film, TV, and news assets across Paramount and WBD — a move that could fundamentally reshape the Hollywood ecosystem. For creators, it could mean one mega-destination for premium content. For viewers, it could mean one app housing everything from Game of Thrones to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
The U.S. Department of Justice is expected to closely review the acquisition over concerns about media concentration and competition. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has already vowed to scrutinize the deal. Industry insiders are also warning of potential job cuts and restructuring as the companies combine operations.
There are additional concerns around editorial independence, particularly given the Ellison family’s political ties and the increasing scrutiny surrounding major news divisions like CBS and CNN. Ellison, however, struck a confident tone.
He described the merger as “pro-competition, pro-consumer, and pro-creative community,” adding that it will “create a stronger Hollywood and global production ecosystem, one that expands consumer choice and unlocks opportunities for creative talent.”
Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest as huge companies continue to merge into one superbeing.

Meghan Markle is looking as chic as ever. While the Duchess of Sussex always looks effortlessly luxe, I was star struck after seeing her in an Instagram photo posted by As Ever, Markle’s lifestyle brand. The A-lister was the epitome of ‘hostess with the mostess,’ serving sparkling wine that’s “finished with a few fresh raspberries for garnish,” and this is all while wearing the slip burgundy dress of my dreams.
The entertaining expert couldn’t look more regal while wearing the Heidi Merrick Marion Slip Dress. Markle styled the getup in the most sophisticated and understated way with minimal gold jewelry, including a choker necklace, single bangle bracelet and dainty wedding bands. Despite the no-frills aesthetic, the designer dress is actually $495 — so we found a similar style that delivers Markle’s look for $445 less.
Get the Vubiya Satin V-Neck Maxi Dress for $50 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
Slip dresses are no muss, no fuss — just easy elegance. This under-$50 satin midi slip embodies that, featuring a V-neckline and a cowl-style back with a tie-up design that’s effortlessly rich. You’ll also appreciate the gathered bust detail that accentuates the chest and the relaxed yet fitted design that shows off your hourglass figure.
I adore the rich burgundy color of Markle’s satiny dress, which is stunning for evening wear. However, if red isn’t your favorite color, you’re in luck! This Amazon version comes in over 20 to choose from, including brown, navy and champagne.
If you’re skeptical about the quality of the dress, real-life shoppers can’t say enough good things about it. One reviewer said that it “looks much more expensive than it is, and is beautiful on.” They even shared that the material is “thick enough to cover any problem areas” and the seams “are somewhat angled, giving more of an hourglass appearance.” Another noted that the dress is a “great find for the price,” with the main caveat from commenters being that the gown notably runs small. A small fix: Size up!
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or attending a wedding, you can look like royalty on a budget. This under-$50 slip dress perfectly mirrors Markle’s simple yet elegant aesthetic, and is a statement in and of itself.

Hillary Clinton Epstein Deposition
Trump’s Prior Conduct Might Be Relevant!!!
Published
c-span
Hillary Clinton didn’t hold back when asked about President Donald Trump during her Epstein deposition last week … pushing to have him testify under oath, because he’s got a laundry list of bad behavior and past connections with the dead convicted pedophile.
Check out the footage released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released Monday — Clinton says given that Trump’s all over the Epstein Files and has been found guilty of a myriad of crimes … he should “absolutely” be brought in for questioning.
And she doesn’t let people forget about his past trials and convictions … she reminds the committee that he’s been found civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers and convicted on 34 counts of falsified business records in relation to covering his relations with an escort … which was election interference.
As you know, Hillary and former President Bill Clinton were deposed separately last week. Bill was adamant he had no idea Epstein was up to no good … claiming if he did know what crimes he was committing, he would have turned him in himself. Hillary, meanwhile, maintains that she never even met him.
Trump has repeatedly washed his hands of Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Trump has said he kicked JE out of his circle when he betrayed him by hiring people who had worked for him at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Friday, Trump said he did not enjoy seeing former President Clinton deposed, though he added … “But they certainly went after me a lot more than that.”
