Death, 3D and Animation took over this year, as we saw film profits make over 10 and a half billion dollars. That gross comes courtesy of 3D preniums, perhaps stating that 3D is here to stay.
Death played a big part as well, from Farrah Fawcett to Michael Jackson, the stars that died were tremendous and left their marks on the world forever. I can honestl say that with Michael Jackson, he proves you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Animation really became the star of the year though. When we saw preety bad live-action films (et tu Couples Retreat and Gentleman Bronco's), animation gave us mature and thoughtful fare like Fantastic Mr. Fox & Up. Even usual kiddie fare made us laugh harder like Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Toss all of that in with The Princess and The Frog & Coraline and you have one heckuva impressive lineup.
Live-Action got some great stuff, notable the Star Wars of our time that is Avatar. Brilliance like Where The Wild Things Are also played. Stupid comedies were anjoyable as well like Land of The Lost and Paul Blart.
2009 can be summed up as a landmark year for all of us, changing cinema for good and doing away with the old...and in with the new.
