Walt Disney Animation Studios is at the top of their game these days with yet another first class animated movie like Zootopia, coming right on the heels of possibly the most popular animated movie ever, Frozen in 2013. In 2010 they gave us the equally wonderful Tangled and then in 2014 they changed their gameContinue reading “Zootopia Review”

Penguins – Zany Fun
The Penguins of Madagascar movie (2014) is an action-packed comedy bonanza that was largely overlooked in the theaters. I, like most people, missed it during its theatrical run, but I caught it a few nights ago on Netflix. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written story of the scene stealing Penguins from the Madagascar movies. TheContinue reading “Penguins – Zany Fun”
Inside Out – A Delightful Head Trip
It’s been a few years since Pixar has put out a movie that is an original story (not a sequel). There has been some speculation among fans about the possibility that the golden days of Pixar were over. Cars 2, Planes, and Monsters University were all good movies, but they weren’t the instant classics thatContinue reading “Inside Out – A Delightful Head Trip”
Great Fathers in Movies
I’m a father of four wonderful kids. I know from personal experience and from professional studies that I’ve come across how important fathers are to the well-being of families. Their role is huge. Most fictional fathers, portrayed in television and movies, are bumbling clueless oafs, a fact that saddens me to no end. However, over theContinue reading “Great Fathers in Movies”
Pixar Top 5
In honor of Inside Out being released June 19th, the first non-sequel Pixar film since 2012 (Brave), I took an informal poll on my Facebook page to get an idea of which Pixar movies are most popular among average viewers (not film critics). A big thanks to all my friends who participated. That poll isContinue reading “Pixar Top 5”
Summer Movies For Kids
This is my list of summer 2015 movies that have great promise of being well-made entertaining movies AND appropriate for kids (some are for older kids, maybe 12 and up). These are the ones I’m personally looking forward to. I plan to see every one of these eventually, but the two that have me about toContinue reading “Summer Movies For Kids”
BIG HERO 6 – My Review
Big Hero 6, the new movie by Walt Disney Animation Studios, was a big hit with me and my kids. The story is set in the future when robotic technology is revolutionizing everything. Our hero, named “Hero”, is one of several kids we’re introduced to in the movie, who are gifted robotic designers/engineers. When Hero’s bigContinue reading “BIG HERO 6 – My Review”
Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer
This is the first trailer released by Pixar for their upcoming movie, Inside Out. The movie’s not due out until June 19th of next year, but I’m excited about this one and I know many others are excited because it’s the first original (not a sequel) Pixar movie since Brave in 2012. In my opinion, Pixar moviesContinue reading “Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer”
The Boxtrolls
Update Friday, Sept. 26th The Boxtrolls comes out today and the reviews have revealed that it’s not the “family friendly” movie that I imagined in my post below. At least it’s not friendly for the traditional family. I’m referring to the choice the film makers made to weave in a message about the positive virtuesContinue reading “The Boxtrolls”
The Lego Movie – My Review
The Lego Movie has been out since March of this year, so I’ve had plenty of time to read reviews and talk to people who have seen it. All reports have been overwhelmingly positive. You can read a sampling of the reviews here, on an earlier post from my blog. Normally when I’ve heard so manyContinue reading “The Lego Movie – My Review”
