Ten years ago today, The Peanuts Movie was released. A very honorable and charming tribute to the comic strip created by Charles Schulz, this film from Blue Sky is such a delight featuring its pretty unique animation, simple story, and the cast of timeless characters.

Fifteen years ago today, Megamind was released. A hilarious cult classic from DreamWorks, this film about a supervillain who somehow defeats the hero is a pretty fun spin on superhero flicks thanks to its hilarious comedy, witty story, and a slew of memorable characters.
