The kids will have fun, until the movie says it’s done. I’d like to read Homer Simpson’s insult, if you would please, on the live-action “Cat in the Hat” movie from 2003. […]
The Cat in the Hat
Wildwood
A stop-motion gem hand made with wizardry. “Wildwood” is the latest feature from the Laika stop-motion animation company. “Coraline” was the first from the studio to take the hand-made animation to new […]
Forgotten Island
A kaleidoscope of an animated feature you need to remember. I have a Filipino friend, who told me she was eager to see Dreamwork Animation’s latest addition “Forgotten Island,” which focuses on […]

I Am Frankelda
A real page turner of the nightmarish world this young woman creates. “I Am Frankelda” is Mexico’s first stop-motion animated feature, and it almost plays like a bizarre cross between “Beauty and […]
Jinsei
A visually impressive, but confusing animated movie about a man going by many names. “Jinsei” means “life” in Japanese, and I guess the new animated feature deserves that title. As we begin […]
Swapped
Cute critters and birds change species and give us a charming animated film. “Swapped” says it’s a body swap animated movie, but it’s not like Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan being […]
