I can only find one release this year, and therefore it is a winner by default. It is a typical animated adventure where the character faces a number of moral trials before coming out the other end stronger having learned vital lessons. There are monkey dances, fights, and possible racial and class issues- the main character assumes he is better than people just because he has been given a crown, and can treat anyone as he pleases. It has a Disney charm to it, though isn’t quite as cutesy. It is however an early anime and pretty messed up for the uninitiated. My winner is: Alakazam The Great
