This year has seen quite a hotch-potch of international films hitting the cinemas in Malaysia, from the usual superhero blockbusters to the ever-popular animated features. But still, 2023 will forever be remembered as the year of “Barbenheimer”, when two major releases on completely different spectrums clashed on the same weekend, with both emerging victorious in both the box office and in terms of critical acclaim.

The other big story of the year was the relative disappointments of Disney’s Marvel movies Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels, as well as its major animated feature, Wish; though Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3 and Pixar’s Elemental still managed to impress.
