Thor: Ragnarok

Taika Waititi · 2017

Thor: Ragnarok (2017), directed by Taika Waititi, is the third Thor film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It follows Thor’s exile to the alien planet Sakaar, his gladiatorial duel with the Hulk, and his return to Asgard to stop Hela’s conquest. With vibrant cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe, a synth-driven score by Mark Mothersbaugh, and performances led by Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, and Tessa Thompson, the film prioritises wit, pace, and visual invention over mythic solemnity. It grossed $854 million worldwide and received praise for its direction and energy, though some critics found its themes underdeveloped and its finale visually overwhelming.

Christopher Miller, Phil Lord · 2014

An ordinary Lego minifigure is mistaken for the chosen one destined to stop a tyrant from gluing the universe into permanent order. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's 2014 film uses digital animation built to mimic stop motion and turns a marketing premise into a genuine argument about creativity.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines

Mike Rianda, Jeff Rowe · 2021

Katie Mitchell, days from leaving for film school and still at odds with her earnest, technology-suspicious father, is stuck on a cross-country family road trip when a smartphone-assistant uprising begins rounding up humanity. Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe's Sony Pictures Animation feature, produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, pairs a hand-painted visual style adapted from Into the Spider-Verse's animation technology with a script built from Rianda's own family history and childhood fascination with robots.
