Ever since Toy Story broke new ground in 1995 with its
computer-animated timeless storytelling, there has been a plethora of CGI
movies. Of course, they’ve not all had the luxury of critical or box office
success, but what is it about these movies that we love so much? Is it the
bright colours, the wide-eyed characters and the total escapism? Partly, yes.
But mostly, we’re drawn to the story. The animated world is just a beautiful
and creative way to convey that story. Without one, it’s nothing more than eye
candy.
