Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse (2018)

I loved this.  I flat out loved it.  It is throughout  a pure blast of creative joy, and  because there’s so much going on you might have to see it more than once to catch it all.

The movie is rooted in a vividly specific, recognizable New York as it is, and as closely as it hews to comic-book imagery and structure within its animated format as it does, “Spider-Verse” has a wonderfully trippy, dreamlike quality about it.  It is multiple technique animation that will blow you away.
Maybe that is because it is after something different, both in its storytelling and in its stakes.  It has a different from the usual Marvel feel about it.   It features plenty of fourth-wall breaking and self-aware narration, both of which might seem like trite crutches in less clever hands. These are comic-book characters that know they’re comic-book characters, which in no way diminishes the excitement of their adventures. On the contrary, this device welcomes us even more powerfully into their world.
So do not miss this, it just has to be nominated in the Best Animation category next  week, and while I love Isle of Dogs, if this beat it out I would not be disappointed.
