Best animated movie of the year BY FAR

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2018)

First and foremost, I know everyone is talking about the animation and how the animation is great and how the animation is revolutionary and how it puts animation 10 years ahead or something. All of that is true. I can confirm all of those things. Little easter eggs are hidden in the animation, and it's so stylistic and fast. When you do a close up on a person's face, you can see little dots and circles in their face, just like in comics. I don't know whether this movie was hand-drawn, 3D CGI, or a mix of both, but whatever it was, it was breathtaking.
Second, the performances. Jake Johnson was so good, I will only hear him as Peter Parker. Nicholas Cage should just stick to voice acting, as he was better in this than he was in Teen Titans. I don't know how Shameik Moore sounded like a teenager, but he did. Speaking of good impressions, Mahershala Ali as Uncle Aaron sounded like a completely different person in this movie, I didn't even know he was in this movie until the credits rolled. Oscar Isaac plays a certain spoilery role, and Hailee Steinfeld is amazing as always. John Mulaney was the biggest surprise, as Spider-Ham was much more enjoyable than expected.
Next let's talk about the story. So original and creative, and full of twists and turns. The villains are all menacing, (especially a certain female villain, who turned up being wayyy more creepy than she had any right to be). The script is super tight, and each character uses different words, like Nicholas Cage's character, SpiderMan Noir, doesn't use any words that were made after the 1930's. Lord and Miller are probably one of my favorite duos in Hollywood right now. Their writing is so sharp and quick, and I love it.
Other surprises: Without spoiling, what they did to Aunt May was super unexpected, and was simply hilarious. I could never guess what the end credits scene would be, and I wouldn't want any other scene than the one we got. Speaking of scenes, the Stan Lee cameo in this movie almost made me tear up, but then he cracked a joke, which made me laugh, but made the scene even sadder.
This is by far the best animated movie of 2018, and possibly the best movie of the year. I can't wait for the sequel.
