Thom's Animated Leaderboards of 2018 (Still in Progress)
A lot can happen from January 1st to December 31st of one year. I could spend a few sentences listing a number of said occurrences, but getting straight to the point, one of said series of events is with the releases of dozens of animated movies in a year. And, considering myself as an active supporter and admirer of animation, I thought it'd be fun (althougheventuallydreadful) to dig up all the animated movies that I could find, witness what each of 'em have in store, and compile all of them in a ranking list! We'll be starting from the best way up on top, and slowly reaching the hell spawns at the very bottom. Note that this list is still under development (because this Brit hasn't seen everything yet).
