Big Hero 6

It was only after I began my research that I realized that Big Hero 6 is actually a comic book series from Marvel.  The comic book premise is actually quite different from that of the movie.  The names of the characters stay the same but the story is actually nowhere close (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hero_6).

Death At A Funeral

This was my way of ringing in 2014.  Once we had decided to spend NY Eve at home, the choice of a movie had zeroed down to a comedy.  The last thing I wanted was to ring in NY 2014 with a sad movie – no matter how well it was made.  And in my not so limited collection – I could easily pick Death At A Funeral as one of the top 5 British Comedies (with all due respect, the Americans make slapstick ;)).

Frozen (Animation 2013)

Monster’s University (Pixar), Epic (TCF), Turbo (Dreamworks), Planes (DisneyToon) and we have our 5^th nomination from the year for next year’s Academy Awards in the category – Feature Film (Animated).  MU and Epic need not feel worried about their place in the nominations since there is nothing else due this year.  Unless of course the Academy decides to pick only 3 instead.
