## Why Their Films Are Also Foxy and Famous

1. They've made one of the most recognizable animated franchises of all time, ***Ice Age*** (even though it's been miked a lot to no end, to the point where it got a sixth film and a seventh film is in development).
2. Besides the first 3 Ice Age films, they also made some other good movies, which are *Anastasia* (a great Disney Princess movie now that Disney owns it), *Titan A.E.* (which ended Don Bluth's career on a sour note, but still pretty good), *Robots*, *The Simpsons Movie* (faithful to the show), *Horton Hears a Who!* (faithful to Dr. Seuss' book, the first Dr. Suess animated feature film and the first computer animated Dr. Suess film as well), *Rio*, *Epic*, *The Peanuts Movie* (faithful to the *Peanuts* franchise), *Ferdinand* (faithful to the book it was based on), *Spies in Disguise*, *Ron's Gone Wrong*, *The Bob's Burgers Movie* (faithful to the show), and *Nimona* (which uses great stylized animation).
3. Great animation for their films (even the bad and average), even their oldest animation is great and revolutionary.
4. They got very talented voices for their characters, weather they be main or supporting including Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Hank Azaria, Christopher Lloyd, Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Ewan McGregor, Mel Brooks, Halle Berry, Amanda Bynes, Robin Williams, Queen Latifah, Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell, Will Arnett, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Josh Gad, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Peter Dinklage, Andy Garcia, Noah Schnapp, John Cena, Gina Rodriguez, Peyton Manning, Will Smith, Tom Holland, Kristen Schall, and Chloë Grace Moretz.
5. The films have good soundtrack, with some even getting an Oscar nomination like "mh:delightfulmusicandsongs:Home" from *Ferdinand*.
6. Their films tend to have some heartwarming moments and say some good messages:
