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 […]
Forgotten Island
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
Shaun Blinded Me With Science, and it’s fun. 30 years have passed since Nick Park won his third Oscar for his third “Wallace & Gromit” adventure “A Close Shave,” which introduced us […]
Cars

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 […]
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 […]
