Chicken Run (2000) Online Streaming

Feels sluggish and tired; its relentless, not-so-great gags hit with the soft thud of stone-hard bread crumbs.. The series is showing signs of aging, from the predictably jokey store signs (Versarchery, Abercrombie and Witch) to the classic-rock instrumentals playing under the fight scenes.. A delightfully clever feature.. A parallel world of wonders, zestfully conceived and radiantly rendered, in which the great-hearted ogre tries his likeable best to avoid the parallel threats of kingship and ...

Valiant (2005) Play Streaming

Even though its historical references and battle scenes may fly over their heads like so many homing pigeons, kids will enjoy Valiant, too, if only for its nonstop action and lively visual design.. . Even young viewers will recognize Valiant as second-tier Disney.. Despite a handful of good aerial 'birdfight' sequences, 'Valiant' fails to get off the ground due to a by-numbers script and dodo-ugly character design that add up to less than one would expect from 'Shrek' producer John H. WilliamsJo...

Toy Story 3 (2010) Download Movie

It's a foolproof scheme for picture making: take the plot elements of favorite movies, paint the concoction with bright colors so it looks like the zazziest customized car, set it running at NASCAR speed, and you have How to Train Your Dragon.. Toy Story 3 succeeds not because of its glossy and gleaming high-tech pixels, but rather because it is so well-written that you could tell it with low-tech hand puppets and still thrill and reach an audience of children and adults both.. The gags are all ...

"Cars 2" teaches gentle kid-friendly lessons about the importance of friendship and being yourself and introduces some great new characters in its parallel spy drama and auto racing plots.. Time, perhaps, for the franchise to be towed off to the scrapyard. Sorry, Pixar.. As lovable as Mater is, let's face it: A little bit of Larry the Cable Guy goes a long way..

For all its swirling colors, funky tunes and impressive voice talent Shark Tale makes for lukewarm entertainment.. . With its mobbed-up sharks and hip-hop habitats, the animated feature Shark Tale might qualify as the first 'fishploitation' film in movie history.. Funny, dazzling, fast and frisky, Shark Tale is a sparkling addition to the modern animation canon.. An unea...
