Monsters vs Aliens (2009) 

I'm not a huge fan of the animated features. I like a couple Pixar movies, and a few of the old Disney classics, but overall I'm just not impressed. I find most of them to be crude, filled with fart jokes, and insulting to children. And I don't like Anime. Just to alienate everyone. Monsters vs Aliens will never be mentioned in the same breath as the touching Up or the overrated (now you'll hate me) Wall-E, but it's funny and entertaining and by my count contains only one reference to a person shitting his pants. The cast, including Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Stephen Colbert and others is first rate. It's a good time filled with laughs and pop culture references that don't pound you over the head like they do in lesser films like Shrek. Fuck Shrek.
