| 7 | ->"In the world of animation, there is known to be a legend. A wise man with all the knowledge of its history. A critic in pursuit of excellence. An expert on the world of Creator/{{Disney}}. There are many more thing to say about this legend, but you may know him more as '''[=AniMat=]'''." |

| 10 | [=AniMat=] (a.k.a Mat Brunet) is an internet {{review}}er on Website/{{RVT}} and has several main shows, all focused on animation. The shows are: |
| 11 | * ''[[http://thatfellowinthecoat.com/animelookback.php Animation Lookback]]'': His flagship show, which takes an in-depth look at the history of various animation studios (such as Creator/{{Pixar}}) and animators (such as Creator/DonBluth). |
| 12 | * ''[[http://thatfellowinthecoat.com/animat.php AniMat's Reviews]]'': A VideoReviewShow that looks at new theatrically-released animated films in a critical light by judging the story, animation, and characters (and, when necessary, the songs) separately. |
| 13 | ** He also has ''[[http://thatfellowinthecoat.com/animat.php AniMat's Classic Reviews]]'', which is exactly like his normal reviews, except they're about older animated films not in theatres. |
| 14 | ** He has also reviewed live-action films and other media that have to do with animation, such as the ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' games, ''Persistence of Vision'', and ''Film/SavingMrBanks''. Here, he ditches the Story-Animation-Characters critique system and just talks about what works in them and what doesn't work, and he's on-camera frequently. [[note]]The only exception to both of these is his review of the first ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', which is exactly like his normal and Classic reviews, but the "Animation" and "Characters" critiques are replaced with "Gameplay" and "Presentation".[[/note]] In 2015, he made an announcement that his fans can request him to review anything they want him to, as long as he's able to review them [[note]]For example, he won't review a game that will take a very long time to complete.[[/note]] and if a fan donates $100 or more on his Patreon. |
| 15 | * ''[[http://thatfellowinthecoat.com/animat The Epic Mickey Files]]'': A series that takes a look at the characters from the video game ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', as well as its [[VideoGame/EpicMickey2ThePowerOfTwo sequel]] and [[VideoGame/EpicMickeyPowerOfIllusion spinoff]], and talks about their first appearances, the characters themselves, some of their later appearances, and their role in the game. |

| 525 | ---- |
| 526 | !!His videos provide examples of: |
| 527 | * ArchEnemy: He refers to ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' as this. Time will tell if ''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth'', a film he considers ''worse'' than ''Cloudy'', replaces it. |
| 528 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: In his ''The Wild Life'' review, he incorrectly refers to a Pangolin as an Armadillo. |
| 529 | * AudienceAlienatingEra: [[invoked]] What he feels Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation is going through. He believes that after the first ''Cloudy'' film was released, they started going on a downward spiral (not counting the [[Creator/AardmanAnimations Aardman]] co-productions), fueled by poor corporate decisions and other matters. He claims in his review of ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'' that if they don't progress, then eventually they will be shut down. However, he has expressed positive interest in ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'', praising the character designs revealed in a photo and the animation in the teaser trailer, considering it promising overall. Unfortunately, though, Mat thinks that it might not save the company since it, and ''WesternAnimation/TheStar'', are at high competition with other movies (Mainly, ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious'' and ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/TheLastJedi'', respectively[[note]]''The Star'' has now been set to release in November 10th. Unfortunately, though, he still thinks it would be a flop because Coco, which releases in the same month, would most likely overshadow it.[[/note]]). To make matters worse with ''The Star'', it is mainly a Christian movie, so Mat feels that it most likely won't bring in a large audience. And to add extra salt to the wound, they made ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie''...Yeah... |
| 530 | * BerserkButton: |
| 531 | ** ''Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation'' used to be this, with Animat getting mad with pretty much everything they do(Though he no longer does this) |
| 532 | ** [[GreenAesop Environmental messages]] thrown in at the last minute, particularly in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2'' and ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie''. |
| 533 | * BigNo: During his NightmareSequence in the “Top 10 Worst Films Based on a Cartoon” episode. |
| 534 | * TheCameo: |
| 535 | ** [[WebVideo/HewysAnimatedMovieReviews Hewy Toonmore]] appears in “Don Bluth Part 4” upon hearing about [=AniMat's =] signed DVD copy of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH''. |
| 536 | ** WebVideo/MrCoat and [[WebVideo/MrCoatAndFriends his fellow members]] appear at the end of the “Top 10 Worst Films Based on a Cartoon” episode. |
| 537 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 538 | ** “Hey guys, this is [=AniMat=].” |
| 539 | ** "Let's find out!" |
| 540 | ** “See ya later, dudes!” |
| 541 | ** “What the fridge!?” |
| 542 | * CausticCritic: Averted. While [=AniMat=] isn't a professional film critic, and his reviews are, for all intents and purposes, an entertainment web series, he mostly gives a fair criticism for the works he reviews. He does get rant-y when it comes to reviewing a work he dislikes, though. |
| 543 | * CliffHanger: Used at the end of his review of ''VideoGame/EpicMickey2ThePowerOfTwo''. [[spoiler:The following review is the spinoff game ''VideoGame/EpicMickeyPowerOfIllusion''.]] |
| 544 | * ContentWarnings: This is used prior the Number 1 Worst spot of the “Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2012” ([[spoiler:WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania]]). |
| 545 | -->'''Voice Over:''' Warning: The following animated film may cause blindness of rage and angry comments due to it being on the worst list at #1. It may contain arguments about the film that not everyone would want to hear. If you’d like to avoid this, please skip ahead to here (20:13). If not, then please listen and try to understand the reasons why it’s at #1 on the worst list. You have been warned. |
| 546 | * CoughSnarkCough: He considers Dracula from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'' to be a ripoff of Marlin from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' because they both play the "overprotective dad" role, and another reason. |
| 547 | -->'''[=AniMat=]:''' (''coughs “[[TheLostLenore dead wife]]”'') |
| 548 | * DoubleStandard: |
| 549 | ** He has repeatedly taken a potshot against films that are primarily aimed at younger audiences because they tend to be lazily written to squeeze money out of the most gullible of all audiences. However, he made an exception to ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'', which he doesn't personally enjoy very much, but appreciated the thought put into it, and even gave it two separate grades (as a kid's movie, and as a movie in general). |
| 550 | ** He also did not seem to have any issue tearing Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation apart for losing Lauren Faust as a director, while ignoring similar instances of this happening at other studios. |
| 551 | *** He also gladly tore Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation when it was revealed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller that the studio mistreats creators and artists and not allow creative work there, but ignores or even gets defensive when studios like Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} face similar accusations. |
| 552 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The original Top 5 Best And Worst Animated Films Of The Year in 2011 did not include ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'' or ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011'' anywhere on the list but instead the 3D re-release of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' as an honorable mention. All lists after 2012 included every animated film he reviewed throughout the year and put the films that did not make either top 5 as an honorable mention. |
| 553 | * EveryoneHasStandards: His "it's fine to have disagreements over movies and television" viewpoint comes to an abrupt end when it comes to ''WesternAnimation/WhereTheDeadGoToDie.''[[note]]Though Animat would later regret saying that[[/note]]). |
| 554 | * EvilLaugh: During his “exit” at the end of the “Top 10 Scariest Disney Moments” episode. |
| 555 | * FanHater: |
| 556 | ** He is to the ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' films, but especially [[WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2 the sequel]] in any sort of context (he likes the books though). Just watching it for a second in the animation montage at the Oscars made him go on a short rant, comparing the Academy acknowledging its existence to an American Heroes slideshow featuring UsefulNotes/CharlesManson. |
| 557 | ** He has called people who like ''WesternAnimation/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'' "freaks", and urged them to get help. This however is actually something he's admitted to [[OldShame deeply regretting]]. |
| 558 | * FanonDiscontinuity: |
| 559 | ** [[invoked]] During his ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' review, he mentioned that ''Zootopia'' is Disney's first computer-animated feature that uses a [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals world full of anthropomorphic animals]]. As he was saying this, an image of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' popped up from the corner, and [=AniMat=] quickly shoved it away, screaming, "NO! Shut up! That movie doesn't exist!" Averted later on though, as he does openly acknowledge ''Chicken Little'' both near the end of the ''Zootopia'' review, and in its own review. |
| 560 | ** He's also implied to hold this sentiment toward ''Film/MuppetsFromSpace''. |
| 561 | * FatalFlaw: He states that the addition of non-stop voiceovers in the ''Film/WalkingWithDinosaurs'' movie completely destroys the experience. |
| 562 | * FormulaBreakingEpisode: |
| 563 | ** He reviewed all of the Epic Mickey games, which include ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', ''VideoGame/EpicMickey2ThePowerOfTwo'', and ''VideoGame/EpicMickeyPowerOfIllusion''. |
| 564 | ** He reviewed the live action films ''Film/TheMuppets2011'', ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'', ''Film/SavingMrBanks'', ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'', and ''Film/{{Maleficent}}''. The first two, because he's a huge Muppet fan, the third because it's about the making of a half-animated feature film and he's a huge Disney nut, the third because it's an independent film that looks at the "dark side" of Disney, and the fourth because it is a remake of Disney’s ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''. |
| 565 | ** His review of ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2'' was done in a vlog style, completely different from all his other reviews. This is because he was going into way more detail about why he hated this particular film (particularly when talking about the animation). He would later do the same with his review of ''WesternAnimation/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'', but unlike the previous, he only did it since a lot of the movie is way too messed up and violent to be shown on any website. |
| 566 | ** He has also reviewed ''Persistence of Vision'', a documentary about ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler''. |
| 567 | * FourPointScale: Averted. He has a ten-point scale and tends to distribute his rankings evenly. Anything below a five gets a [[MedalofDishonor Seal of Garbage]], and he only tends to give one Seal of Approval (9+) per year. |
| 568 | ** Only sixteen films (or seventeen pieces of media if Special reviews are counted) have a perfect score, and only three of them did so in the year they were released as opposed to being on [=AniMat=]'s Classic Reviews. |
| 569 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 570 | ** In his Animation Lookback series on Creator/{{Pixar}}, he briefly turned into a sobbing wreck and needed a time off after realizing that Pixar made its first bad movie that is ''WesternAnimation/Cars2''. |
| 571 | ** After watching ''WesternAnimation/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'', his brain needed a CTRL-ALT-DEL. |
| 572 | ** Also happened near the end of his Lets Watch of ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure''. |
| 573 | * IWorkAlone: Most of his videos are made only by himself. |
| 574 | * KindnessButton: Creator/{{Disney}} 's [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon animated films]], especially their modern films where he would pretty much praise anything they make. Even for the modern films he doesn't like that much, he still thinks are [[SoOkayItsAverage just okay]] or good but not amazing. |
| 575 | * TheKenBurnsEffect: Being a documentary series, Animation Lookback features a lot of this. |
| 576 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: At the beginning of his review for ''WesternAnimation/TheIceAgeAdventuresOfBuckWild'', Mat receives a video call from a Disney representative who wants to tell him about the movie: |
| 577 | -->'''Disney rep:''' You're one of those cartoon reviewers, right? I hope I didn't startle you there too much.\ |
| 578 | '''Mat:''' I'm actually more weirded out that you look a bit too much like me.\ |
| 579 | '''Disney rep:''' Well, that's what happens when you don't hire other actors. |
| 580 | * MedalOfDishonor: His "Seal of Garbage", which he hands to films he rates below 5/10. |
| 581 | * TheMockbuster: He calls ''WesternAnimation/{{Turbo}}'' a full-on ripoff of ''WesternAnimation/Cars1''. |
| 582 | * NightmareSequence: In the “Top 10 Worst Films Based on a Cartoon” episode, [[WebVideo/MrCoatAndFriends Mr. Coat members]] bombard him with “announced” live-action film adaptations of cartoons. |
| 583 | * TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: He admits the only redeeming thing about Gribble in ''WesternAnimation/MarsNeedsMoms'' is that he’s the only human character who actually looks like a human, as opposed to the others. |
| 584 | * PrecisionFStrike: From his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'': "So with that said, f*** Sony, f*** emojis, and F*** THIS MOVIE!!!" |
| 585 | * PsychoStrings: He uses these in his "Top 10 Worst Sequels" when he shows the Yellow Bellies' song in ''The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends''. |

| 587 | * RageQuit: Animat Watches ''Bratz the Movie''. Animat dropped a censored F* bomb and says that he is done with ''Bratz the Movie'' with only Twenty Minutes left of it's run-time. Also counts as ScrewThisImOuttaHere. |
| 588 | * RunningGag: Whenever a film is overly cutesy and trying to pander to a very young demographic (i.e. ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'', ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie'', and to a lesser extent ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}''), expect him to use the phrase "happy rainbow butterfly pony flowers." |
| 589 | * ShoutOut: Crossover links. |
| 590 | ** To the web series ''[[http://thatfellowinthecoat.com/vaulting.htm Vaulting]]'' in his review of ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie''. |
| 591 | ** To his fans who personally did the ultimate Patreon pledge in their requested review. (Click on the "notes" for films in ''italics'' or '''''bolded italics''''' for the names of the Patrons) |
| 592 | * SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]]These types of films usually receive the 5-6 score from him. |
| 593 | * SoundtrackDissonance: He demonstrates in his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic'' how replacing the soundtrack can make Tentacles very threatening. |
| 594 | * SpiritualSuccessor: He considers ''WesternAnimation/Epic2013'' to be the spiritual successor to ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians''. |
| 595 | * StandardSnippet: The end of reviews have one of five themes depending on how high a score the film got. These include: |
| 596 | ** The Seal of Approval worthy films get the celebration remix from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee Smashing... Live! Live Orchestra Music Track 5: Original Medley''. |
| 597 | ** Films scoring an eight or seven get the orchestra "stage clear" theme from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' |
| 598 | ** Films scoring a six or five get the tense $500,000 question music and the "Final Answer" jingle from ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''. |
| 599 | ** Films scoring a four or three play the Game Over music from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 & 2''. |
| 600 | ** Films scoring a two or one get a snippet of the demonic climax part of the "King of Pride Rock" score from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''. However, due to copyright issues with Universal Music Group, the music was later switched to the Game Over music from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', starting with the ''Arctic Dogs'' review. |
| 601 | * StrictlyFormula: Anytime something he's reviewing has this, he ends with "Rinse and repeat." |
| 602 | * TakeThat: |
| 603 | ** When he responds to a question on why he reviewed the CGI/live-action hybrid ''Film/WalkingWithDinosaurs'' movie and not ''Film/TheSmurfs2''. |
| 604 | --->'''[=AniMat=]:''' Look, ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' did it much more differently so that the animation plays a bigger role. How 'bout I say no and forget it so that both of our lives would be much more simpler. |
| 605 | ** During the CN Real segment in Part 4 of his Animation Lookback on Creator/CartoonNetwork, he gives a little jab at Fox News with this: |
| 606 | --->'''[=AniMat=]:''' If you take away the "Fox" from Fox News, then you would get a channel that would report real news from credible journalists that would respect women. |
| 607 | ** When bringing up the MisaimedFandom of ''WesternAnimation/{{Coonskin}}'' in Part 2 of his Animation Lookback on Creator/RalphBakshi, he brings up pictures of Kentucky Senator Mitch [=McConnell=], Attorney General Jeff Sessions, actor and far-right activist Creator/JamesWoods, actor and martial artist Creator/StevenSeagal, Fox News correspondents Sean Hannity and Tomi Lahren, alt-right leader Richard Spencer, and [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan a klansmen]]. |
| 608 | ** The entire ''Film/OfficeSpace'' review is an elaborate one towards ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''. |
| 609 | ** During Top 10 Biggest Animated Box Office Bombs, he makes fun of all the people who ship [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]] with [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]]. |
| 610 | ** The ending clip for the ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' segment in his Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2022 takes a potshot at [[WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter The Mysterious Mr. Enter's]] infamous review of the film, where the scene of Ming Lee exposing Mei's art of Devon as a mermaid in front of him has said art replaced with a drawing of The Twin Towers and a summary of the UsefulNotes/September11Attacks. |
| 611 | * TalkingPoo: In his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'', he mocks Poop as being a possible mascot for Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation: "A poorly-drawn animated piece of crap that spews jokes that no one would ever think is funny." |
| 612 | * TemptingFate: In the intro to his review of Open Season, he makes a side comment of how people will endless request him reviewing the Direct-to-Video sequels. Low and behold, that is what happened as he has managed to review the three in the span of a year. |
| 613 | %%* TopTenList |
| 614 | * TheStinger: Mat often ends Animation Lookbacks with these, most of them just directly hinting at the subject of the next lookback. |
| 615 | ** More recent installments have done a more traditional stinger. '' The History of WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' ends on a shot of four Disney films arranged in a circle while the words "[[MilestoneCelebration 10 Years Later]]" appears below them, and ''The History of Walt Disney Animation Studios+'' ends on a upward panning shot from Mat's Disney film collection to a poster of Franchise/TheMuppets while [[SignatureSong Rainbow Connection]] plays. |
| 616 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: Has this reaction in his review of ''WesternAnimation/JonahAVeggieTalesMovie'' when he finds out the franchise is a ReligiousEdutainment series, and of course religion does have a tendency to lead to widely heated discussions online even if he tries his best to review the film objectively. |
| 617 | %%* VideoReviewShow |
| 618 | * VillainSong: Parodied in his second Animation Lookback for [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Walt Disney Animation Studios]]. At the end of Part 11, Michael Eisner sings "No More Hand-Drawn", set to the tune of [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} to the reprise of "Prince Ali"]]. This song talks about how Disney's legendary hand-drawn animation formula has begun to run its course due to [[Creator/DreamworksAnimation stiff]] [[Creator/BlueSkyStudios competition]], and how they must begin to make CG movies like them (and Creator/{{Pixar}}) in order to survive. |
| 619 | * WhyWontYouDie: Brought up word-for-word at the beginning of his review of ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeCollisionCourse'': |
| 620 | -->I would like to categorize ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' as a zombie franchise, where no matter how many times you keep shooting at it, it always comes back and all you can do is shout out "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?" |
| 621 | * WorstNewsJudgementEver: This trope is discussed in the ''[=AniMat=]'s Crazy Cartoon Cast'' episode "Remembering Russi Taylor''. Mat mentions that in some instances, major news stories regarding animation sometimes are released after he finishes recording his podcast, and that when the podcast finds its' way onto other sites, some fans complain that he missed covering said news story. The example he gives was how the previous week's episode, "Saving Mister Rogers", was released a few hours before Creator/RussiTaylor died. |
