Fringe Fridays: Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You

Today marks the release of the newest animated spectacular, MGM’s Igor. The last few years have seen a boom in full-length animated movies, no doubt spurred on by Pixar’s runaway success. But it hasn’t just been animated family films making the studios take notice. Last year’s Persepolis proved that animation is not just kid’s stuff (though fans of the Triplettes of Belville already knew that). This year will see the release of two films, Waltz with Bashir and Fears of the Dark, that tackle themes of fear, nightmares, and war.

Whether your taste runs for the cute-and-cuddly or the darker fare mentioned above, check out the animated movie trailers in our Animation Network. From anime to art house to main-stream, we assemble the best of what’s coming soon to a theater near you:
