Animated Movie FOURquels: A Painful Mixed Bag

From Cartoonshi シ.

Fourth time is almost NEVER the charm. Fourth instalments have a very rocky reputation and are often a sign of a franchise overstaying its welcome. Animated movies specifically have it very rough, so I reviewed a bunch of them. I can no longer feel my limbs.
