Upcoming Animation Films in the Second Half of the Year 2013

Computer animation films have a huge market and every year 2 to 3 films find their way in the list of top 15 grossers in USA. This year has seen only one significant animation success so far in the form of The Croods. However, things are bound to improve as few big animation films are lined up for release and they belong to the top studios like Disney Pixar, Universal and 20th Century Fox. Let’s have a look at them.

                                                                  1. Monsters University 



The prequel to 2001 blockbuster Monsters Inc. is being eagerly awaited by the fans of the original. The plot of the film focuses on the college life of Mike and Sulley when they enroll for a course in scaring. The film comes from the animation powerhouse Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Studios.

                                                                2. Despicable Me 2 



Despicable Me was a surprise success for Universal in 2010 when it outgrossed Dreamworks films like Shrek Forever After and How to Train Your Dragon. The sequel sees the return of Gru, his three adopted daughters and his gang of adorable minions.

                                                                           4. Planes 




This new film by Walt Disney Pictures and Disney Toon Studios looks like a spinoff of the Cars franchise. The story concerns Dusty Crophopper, a small town plane, who has to fight his inner demons to win air racing competition against villain Ripslinger.
