2012 was a great year for animated films, which entertained millions (and generated billions of dollars) around the world with an amazing range of stories, characters and visual effects. No longer limited just to children in their appeal, these films now have the plot lines, voice talent and of course visual realism (whether 2-D or 3-D) to represent an appealing mainstream alternative to live action films, including for the purpose of practicing your English.
This week, all week, English Attack! brings you the best of the year's top animated films, with the incredible diversity of this genre in full evidence: from fairytale legends like Rise Of The Guardians to wild adventures with Tintin in The Secret Of The Unicorn; from the larger-than-life animals in Ice Age Continental Drift and Madagascar 3 to unexpected heroes in Paranorman, The Pirates! Band Of Misfits and Brave. So get out the popcorn, and start improving your English all week long with English Attack!
