(Newswire.net — December 14, 2022) — Animated movies have long been part and parcel of the film industry and that trend is guaranteed to continue for the foreseeable future.
Popular animated characters contribute massively to turnover in the movie business, particularly for producers who are able to establish a successful franchise.
For example, the Marvel series of films is already one of the most successful of all time and is on track to overhaul Star Wars over the next couple of years.
Numerous Marvel characters have been featured in animated films and crossed over successfully into other genres such as online slots and television series.
Marvel inevitably features in the list of animated movies scheduled for release in 2023, but several other familiar names also get a look in.
With that in mind, we take a closer look at some of the best-animated film releases for next year, starting with one that features a hugely impressive line-up.
The Super Mario Bros Movie
The upcoming big-screen adaptation of the iconic Nintendo character is being co-produced by the creator of Mario himself, Shigeru Miyamoto.
Chris Pratt is voicing the famous plumber who has amassed a fortune starring in top films such as Moneyball, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and Avengers: Endgame.
With Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, and Charlie Day amongst the other stars in the line-up, the Super Mario Bros Movie promises to be a global smash.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
The Spider-Man character has stood the test of time across several different genres – a point demonstrated by the success enjoyed by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
The Oscar-winning animation wowed audiences and critics alike, and the follow-up Across the Spider-Verse will likely be one of the biggest movie hits of 2023.
With a third film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse set to be released in 2024 and a female-focused spin-off also in development, Spidey fans have plenty to look forward to.
Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham
The voice line-up for Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham has sparked plenty of chatter amongst fans of the series on social media and other platforms.
A Million Little Things actor David Giuntoli stars as Batman, while Tati Gabrielle, Christopher Gorham John DiMaggio, and Patrick Fabian have also been signed up.
Inspired by the 2001 graphic novel by Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, and Troy Nixey, this animation sees The Dark Knight feature in an adventure set in the 1920s.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael have retained their popularity with film fans despite some of the recent releases failing to live up to expectations.
However, that may well be rectified in 2023 with Seth Rogen amongst the producers of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
Rogen is a lifelong fan of the franchise and unquestionably understands what makes people tick when it comes to creating comedies that are well-received by audiences.
