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 ...

Frozen (2013) Full Movie Streaming

The story-aside from a climax that plays like a too-knowing rebuke to Disney formula-goes tediously through the motions.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The splashy humor and dazzling set pieces of this erratic animated melange compensate for putting a pallid female Mr. Freeze at the center of a paean to sisterly love.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing...

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) Online Streaming

The characters and story are mere narrative lubricant to get us from one digitally goosed sensory assault to the next.. I really like this movie. thank you. A new-fashioned but old-fangled hash.. They left behind some crucial elements on their way -- like character, drama and heart.. A movie that isn't really exciting, has characters who aren't very captivating and misses a lot of its jokes.. Visually imaginative and even persuasively spiritual, this animated adventure has some unusually complex...

Penguins of Madagascar (2014) Online Streaming

Leaving the cute to the bigger kids on the block, with this movie, Dreamworks is opting for pure crazy. And sure enough, the strategy, this time anyway, has paid off in the most unnatural dividend imaginable: darned if these penguins don't fly.. Beyond some imagery, we don't get much that's bigger or better than on TV. Nothing narratively richer, certainly.. Plays like a sampler of Dreamworks Animation's worst creative impulses: sugar-rush pacing, pandering meta-gags, and a slick, flavorless ani...
