What animated movies are coming out in summer 2023?
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (June 2)
The first film is one of the best animated films ever, as well as one of the best superhero movies ever, so as the franchise expands, we expect nothing less than that from this movie. This is probably asking too much but… what if it’s not?
Elemental (June 16)
Pixar’s last theatrical release, Lightyear, disappointed—but Elemental seems to be the studio doing what it does best: telling a great, simple, original story. Here, personifications of elements live together and we find out what happens when two that aren’t supposed to mix (fire and water) begin to fall in love.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (June 30)
What if you were a normal girl and, one day, you went to the beach and found out you were actually Kraken royalty? That’s the setup of Ruby Gillman, which has a stellar voice cast including Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Sam Richardson, Liza Koshy, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (August 4)
The Ninja Turtles get the Spider-Verse treatment with this high-concept animated film that seems to take the iconic brand to a whole new level.
