Top Ten Best Movies from Sony Pictures Animation

The following list compiles the best movies produced by the Sony Pictures Animation branch of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The Top Ten
1 Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is possibly the best Sony Pictures Animation movie to ever be produced. Sure it doesn't stay that much true to the source material book adaptation. But the movie makes it up for its fun and enjoyable execution that delivers creative writing with an inventive script, really funny comedy, clever gags and great plucky characters. On top of that, it also offers one of the best Pete Oswald's unique and cartoony art style of Animation that works very well in CGI, with fluent movement and fast-paced slapstick; it fits the silly and goofy premise of the movie. I loved this movie!

It's sad that Sony Pictures Animation has been going down in the dumps now. In 2009, they made one of the best animated movies ever, and it's the Number 1 movie you are seeing right now (as of March 23, 2018) The comedy and plots were mixed to make a great story. Unfortunately, they made the Emoji Movie, which had terrible humor and plot, and the message really didn't fit right.

It's sad the studio from this great movie made a terrible movie years later... (However, they had different directors)

2 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Let me tell you a story as I write this in 2018. A year ago, I found myself at the movie theater, ready to purchase a ticket for Pixar's Coco. But while I was doing that, I saw an elder black woman purchasing some tickets for her and her grandsons to go see Sony's The Star. In my mind, I was flabbergasted that Sony Pictures Animation would be getting any money from them that holiday season when they deserved to see a much better movie with Coco rather than a movie by the same animation studio who made the reviled summer disaster that was The Emoji Movie.

Zoom right to 2018 and I'm at that same movie theater. Only this time, I wasn't giving my money to Disney or Pixar. This time, I gave my money to Sony. And let me tell you, for every second of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that I saw, every penny that went into the ticket I bought to go see it was totally worth it. Into the Spider-Verse isn't just quite arguably the best Spider-Man film to come out in recent years. It was also quite possibly one of, if not, THE best animated film of 2018 and THE best film of 2018 overall. And definitely Sony Pictures Animation's best one yet. I loved pretty much everything about Into the Spider-Verse. I loved how the animation used a low-frame rate to work to the benefit of the film and make it feel like a comic book come to life, I loved seeing how each of the Spider-Man counterparts were portrayed, and the story, soundtrack, and overall quality of the film blew pretty much blew every Spider-Man movie out of the water. All in all, Into the Spider-Verse is a 10/10 film that I would watch over and over again and pray hard for to win at the Oscars.

3 Surf's Up

Not only is this my favorite animated Sony movie, but is in my Top 3 Best Animated Movies. This is what got me into surfing in the first place. I love the characters, I love the story, I love the humor, everything about Surf's Up is top notch, except for a few things

1. Reggie(The otter with the afro hair.)
2. Surf's Up 2 Wavemania is GOD AWFUL!

Aside from that, if you haven't watched Surf's Up already, go watch it. NOW!

by the way, my favorite character is Chicken Joe.

This movie was my childhood I legitimately used to watch it 7 times a day

4 Arthur Christmas

It's awesome, EpicJake! If you hate Justin Bieber, please overlook that flaw. Aardman is the reason why Sony Pictures Animation has a slight amount of good movies, along with the original Sony Pictures Animation movies.

I love this movie. Great premise, amazing cast (and Mr Santa but whatevs), and, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of the character designs but at least it's not Flint Lockwood.

I haven't seen this movie, but I'm sure it is good.

5 Open Season
6 The Pirates! Band of Misfits

They made this movie? I thought the people who made shaun the sheep did...

It is one of my favorite movies.

7 Hotel Transylvania

I really like hotel transylvania, my favorite is johnny, he is so funny.

It's got great animation and lovable characters.

8 Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2

Pretty bad film and Flint cried and Steve's even more of a dick.

It isn't my favorite, but I giggled a few times honestly.

9 The Angry Birds Movie

This is not made by Sony Pictures Animation. Sure, it's made by Sony Pictures, but Sony Pictures Animation has no involvement in this film.

Greatest video game adaptation of all time. Hands down.

10 Monster House

The person who said they hated this movie should get dragged to Brazil.

This movie also isn't made by Sony Pictures Animation.

The Contenders
11 The Smurfs

I love this movie. This movie was my childhood. I don't find it as annoying as the chipmunks movies.

12 Sausage Party
13 The Mitchells vs. The Machines

I'll be back when this brilliantly great and enjoyable film is in the top 3.

14 Hotel Transylvania 2

I liked this one better then the first one, the little baby is so cute.

Great movie like the first one!

15 Goosebumps
16 Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation

I did not like this movie at all, everybody knows that you only zing one time in your life, this is said the whole movie both movies hotel transylvania 1 & 2, and now dracula can zing again?, and it happens with a human no less, we all know the fit dracula had when mavies wanted johnny in the first movie, all of the music in the last 10 min or less I am really sure how long it was, is very annoying as well, and this movie just ends, she says yes to marrying dracula then it just ends, the kids where very annoying with the dog the whole time, the other two movies where so much better then this one, 0/10

Fun cast, hard-hitting jokes, and ok premise. Very similar to first movie but enjoyable nonetheless

This was pretty good. Personally liked this one.

17 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
18 Smurfs: The Lost Village

Beautiful. Huge upgrade from the originals and, along with Captain Underpants, is one of the more underrated movies of 2017. Strong cast, decent jokes, and perfect animation

It is way more faithful (to its original source material) than the live-action The Smurfs duology.

19 The Emoji Movie

I love this movie! This is my favorite movie! My favorite characters are Gene and Jailbreak, they are so cute!

Sony is the best. Until they stole Spider-Man. Emoji Movie is still the best though.

Smiler is just amazing! Definitely one of the best antagonists!

20 The Angry Birds Movie 2
21 Peter Rabbit

It's funny, cute, entertaining, and quirky. I like it.

22 Open Season 3

Actuality scared silly is the worst movie in the franchise not the 3rd movie and besides scared silly all of the other films in the franchise are good.

This is easily the worst in the franchise.

23 The Star

Creative and engaging animated rendition of the ageless story of Christ's birth. WELL DONE.

24 Surf's Up 2: Wavemania

It only took me five minutes of watching this to realize how awful this movie is. The first one was great, but this was just a effortless sequel that tried to advertise WWE stars.

25 The Smurfs 2

Screw this movie. I wish Smurfette were gooshed for being whiny. Crying like babies is not what good girls do.
