The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot isn’t your average animated film. It’s rare to find a story that skips the predictable laughs and easy crowd-pleasers to focus on something deeper and more meaningful for both kids and adults.
We Bought a Zoo
We Bought a Zoo is a movie that never fails to bring on the tears, no matter how many times I’ve watched it.
Inside Out 2
Inside Out 2 is one of the better sequels, not just in Pixar's portfolio but in films overall.
Family Switch
Family Switch feels a bit rushed because there are moments that really work and others that don't at all.
Trolls Band Together
Not that film buffs debate the ranking of the Trolls trilogy, but I would put Trolls Band Together right in the middle. It is completely unnecessary and neither brings or takes away from the animation genre.
Rookie of the Year
You have to take the plausibility of this plot and stick on a shelf, because the whole concept of this film is ridiculous. But as a thirteen year-old who saw this movie when it came out, this movie was dream come to life.
The Little Mermaid (2023)
The Little Mermaid is one of the biggest surprises for me in 2023. Not so much because it's the best movie in the world, but because it is actually good.
