List: Top 3 Visual Effects Scenes

This week on Episode 33 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by The Lion King 2019 remake, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about our favorite utilizations of visual effects in film. This is one of the broadest topics we’ve perhaps ever done for this segment. Visual effects are a foundational staple for film and have been implemented since the inception of film. From The Trip to the Moon to Avengers: Endgame, there are literally thousands of scenes that could be eligble for our lists, which made our criteria all the more vital. It was quite challenging but we had a lot of fun with it. That said, what would be your Top 3?
