AniMat's Reviews is a web series created by Mat Brunet (aka AniMat) that began at the beginning of 2010. In the series, he talks about his opinions on the latest animated films released in theaters worldwide. He also occasionally reviews live-action films as well as the Epic Mickey games. Each episode of AniMat's Reviews is done using clips and trailers from the subject of each episode, with AniMat narrating over background music about his thoughts on it. He uses this technique with everything he reviews, except live-action films, the last two Epic Mickey games, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 , which were done in a vlog-style review which you can find in AniMat's Reviews (Specials) (except Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2). He usually rates a film by its story, its animation, its characters, and in the case of musicals, its songs. In 2011, he added to the series, the AniMat's Seals of Approval and Garbage, which are awarded to the best and worst animated films he reviews respectively. Later, in mid-2013 a spin-off of the series was created, called AniMat's Classic Reviews.
