The Smurfs 2 (2013) Full Streaming

Not Smurftastic, but not Smurfawful, either.. A new, not very engaging movie featuring a lot of blue skin and household-name voices.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. This insipid, and sometimes awkward, blend of animation, computer generation and live action wastes a ton of talent and lacks a true sense of whimsy.. Only adults with 'Smurf-holm syndrome' could love this film.. Even movies aimed at very small children don't have to be painful for adults t...

The Road to El Dorado (2000) Download Movie

The Road to El Dorado is well worth traveling with the kids, though most adults will find it a somewhat less rewarding trip than DreamWorks' last, the The Prince of Egypt.. It's fairly awful.. The musical numbers are initially appealing - think close harmonies and smart foot stepping to the likes of 'Funkytown' - but the novelty is likely to wear thin for adults when the 'munks get kitted out as a street boy band.. For a movie about 'discovering' the New World, The Road to El Dorado covers a lot...

Monster House (2006) Full Streaming

Can an ogre live happily ever after? Can fairy tale characters be content with their fairy tale lives? Can an Oscar-winning animated success generate a successful sequel? To all these questions, Shrek 2 is happy to answer yes, yes and yes.. This second edition of DreamWorks's Oscar-winning ogre opus may not match the original for, well, originality, but it honors the prime injunction governing sequels: To thine own characters be true.. This Monster House is a real fun house. It's a 3-D animated ...

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) Full Movie Streaming

Like the rest of his movies, this one is essentially infantile -- but when you're telling the story of a ne'er-do-well fox conspiring against a trio of nasty farmers, who cares?. Adds yet another wry, carefully composed bibelot to the cabinet of curios that defines the Anderson oeuvre.. Sometimes too clever by half, the film, replete with in-jokes, may in some ways work better for adults. Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwarztman also provide adept voice work.. Children, especially, will ...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) Full Streaming

The whole thing is rather insipid. But Thomas makes it smoother and more palatable than it deserves to be.. The slapstick required of everyone, animals or not, will exhaust even parents who remember the Chipmunks' original hits.. It's one that will keep little moviegoers happy without driving their parents too squirrelly.. Little kids will love it. You'll need a hazmat suit.. Whatever slim charms there were in the nostalgic, musically cute and slapstick-friendly first film of chipmunk mania are ...

Howl's Moving Castle (2004) Play Streaming

Well-crafted and effectively creepy.. An insanely creative work.. The whole thing has the heavenly whimsy of Ludwig Bemelmans' illustrations from the classic French children's books.. Choppy story lines and threadbare characterization often hamper live-action adventures, and Mr. Miyazaki's newest anime endeavor suffers from similar handicaps.. Coraline is a remarkable feat of imagination, a magical tale with a genuinely sinister edge.. So richly detailed and colorful that one almost aches from t...

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) Watch Streaming

On the short list of sequels superior to the originals -- alphabetically between The Godfather, Part II and Toy Story 2 -- you may enter Ice Age: The Meltdown.. . A raucously fun, fluid follow-up with an ecological message.. Ice Age: The Meltdown, a follow-up to the 2002 animated prehistoric hit, is the rare sequel that is better than the original.. . There's something disheartening about the way the writers and director have to give so much of the dialogue double meaning, all literal for the ki...

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) Play Streaming

If the premise is wonderfully silly, the pursuit of its end is a dazzling parade of invention and inspiration.. It's uncanny how Park and co-director Steve Box ... can milk a laugh from something so simple as an eye blink.. Not all the plot points make sense, but they don't really need to.. There is something for everybody here: an unholy mixture of Philip Larkin and Bruce Wayne.. A silly and cuddly dab of Silly Putty animation from the folks who gave us Chicken Run but who made their reputation...

Meet the Robinsons (2007) Online Streaming

Sharply funny.. The movie is inventive and fun with a significant message that manages not to be overbearing. There are some heart-tugging -- but not sappy -- moments.. Monster House benefits from strong graphic design and lovely lighting, but the script is nothing to write home about.. A delightful, quirk-filled riff on Back to the Future.. The movie is obvious, but consistently entertaining and animated in DreamWorks's "realistic" digitized style.. A 3-D fantasy that's lovely to look at but le...

Ponyo (2008) Watch Full Movie

Visually, taking its cues (mostly) from Van Allsburg's Hopperesque art, The Polar Express is eye-popping. Storywise, however, it can be eyelid-drooping.. We're drawn under the waves of the sea to a hidden enclave of neon-hued aqualife more vibrant, surreal and enchanting than any of the floating 3D whatsits in 'Avatar'.. Ponyo hasn't changed my mind about Miyazaki. But I'm willing to accept and enjoy this little window into the dream life of fish.. Its heart is in the right place, and its bell s...

The Lorax (2012) Play Streaming

The design is witty and imaginative, and the small grace notes are enough to keep an open-minded adult giggling.. "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" eschews [Seuss'] unique style in favor of less risky, more generic characters. It looks like something you've seen before.. If the plot of Ponyo is small as a minnow, its themes -- the relationship between parent and child, between the young and the elderly, between friends, between man and nature -- are large and fully realized.. Director Chris Renaud and his ...

Ratatouille (2007) Download Movie

Kids are gonna gobble Ratatouille up; adults will relish its wit, and everyone will want to go out to eat after.. The original writer and director of Ratatouille, Jan Pinkava, was replaced in midproduction and, for all the exquisite detail, the movie is missing a dash of heart.. Ratatouille is a veritable feast for the eye and the ear. Don't miss it.. This is an animated movie that's been made for adults, although kids probably will enjoy it, too.. A film as rich as a sauce bearnaise, as refresh...

The Illusionist (2010) Download Movie

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. A quiet declaration of love - for the urban vistas of the 1950s, for sleight-of-hand enchantment, for pen-and-ink animation and for a legendary French filmmaker who exited the stage before telling his daughter the magic word.. The film ends on a note of graceful, heartbreaking beauty that Tati would have admired for its lack of sentimentality. A lot of what precedes that ending, though, is precious and slight and a little too fanciful.....

Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS. Evil (2011) Play Movie

If ever there was a movie that should have gone straight to video - or better yet, never have been made - this is it.. While it seems there's no getting away from this marketing aesthetic, the resemblance at times to a video game is far, far too acute.. The film looks nifty, but the flat and unemotional English-language dialogue lessens its impact.. The results are irreverent, fast, funky and funny. And hey, there may be a lesson or two in there for youngsters - especially girls - to pick up on ...
