Surprisingly good for a franchise that has been worn out for a long time. The themes of aging and adapting to new generations and ones lot in life is pretty poignant. It's easily the best of the series to me.
This was so adorable. But, man, it almost made me cry as well.
This is the cutest bird EVER I loved it <3
I thought I was gonna be one of the few grownups in the theater. The room was full of grownups, Teenagers and young adolescents who waited 13 years for this movie.
Amazing. A strong plot. An amazing pacing. Characters you can sympathize with. Strong, heartfelt moments. The movie also didn't scream "I'm a sequel" all the time, it had numerous easter-eggs to Finding Nemo, but it found its own way to convince, rather than trying to recreate the "magic" of Part 1. Also, the animation is g-orgeous.
I'm a grown man, and admit I almost cried as some points. Movie of the years, to me.
While it may not be a Pixar masterpiece like Inside Out, or Toy Story, The Good Dinosaur delivers visually beautiful animation, dinosaur-sized fun, and a sweet and touching story of friendship.
Not one of Pixar's best but dammit... they still made me shed a tear.
So cute. Incredibly catchy too!
When she came facing the wrong way my heart sank! I knew it would have a happy ending but that moment really got me.
Still gets me teary, years later.
I lava this so very much! A simple but yet so beautiful short movie, with a little taste of Vaiana (visually). Perfect!
Absolutely adorable and heartwarming. Will steal your heart.
Beautiful animation. (As always from Pixar) Check!!
Great voices and music. Check!!!
Great fun. Well, I suppose. Check!
Great story. Not so much...
I don't know what to say. On one side it's technically brilliant...on the other...rather lacking in the story compartment. Kids will love it of course, but more for the colors and the sound mix than the story...
I hope they will do better next time. But by all means...Brave is watchable if you just want to entertain the spawn.
A warm, cozy fairy tale that feels more like a Disney production than the latest entry in Pixar's storybook. It's sweet, quirky and funny, but routinely falls back on familiar motifs and often seems criminally under-explored. Since the vast majority of the action takes place in and around a single locale, there's a claustrophobic quality in the air that never truly dissipates, robbing us of the grand scale that's been present in every one of the animation factory's preceding works.
It's no more than a straightforward telling of a reasonably interesting fable, with only a few short jolts of the unique character and timely laughs I've come to expect from the troupe. Of course, there's no arguing the fact that Pixar knows how to produce gorgeous scenery, and Brave is yet another leap forward in that regard; the surrounding landscapes are unanimously breathtaking, and Princess Merida's hair is constantly bouncy and lifelike, truly a character unto itself. It's an enjoyable fresh ride and a marked improvement over the lifeless Cars 2, but misses the depth and flair that made me fall so deeply in love with the studio's classics.
Yes, it's one of Pixar's weakest efforts, but it's still decently entertaining. I would think kids should dig it enough. Some of stereotypes are funny, even if they're fairly uninspired.
This film is not as bad as people make it out to be. If you like spy films, then you may like this, although I do feel like some of it was unnecessary though
Love how unique this is and how it's all linked in to the imagery and sound. So clever!
What I love about these short films from Pixar is how creative and extremely funny slap stick humor, and 'Presto' is nothing short as a brilliant short animated film - with a lot of effort and passion in to it.
I won't say anything else because I want you the viewer to check it out yourself without knowing nothing. Just go in blind just like I did.
The clowns became the clowned.
I literally have no idea why I'm reviewing these Pixar shorts, but here you go. It's a short, and Pixar made it.
"What if bicycle had feelings?"
A simple & frivolous romp, but with truly significant technical leaps that would spark one of the world's greatest storytellers.
Tables turn as a charming young girl bursts through her own closet door and sends shivers through the monsters on the other side. Everything about this is wonderful, from the essentially Pixar concept to the warm, sentimental relationships at its core. Even the animation has held up quite well, which isn't always the case with these early CG efforts: humans still look a bit wonky, but most of the cast seems drawn straight from the pages of a Caldecott winner and that kind of bright, absurd character works beautifully.
John Goodman and Billy Crystal carry most of the heavy-lifting as Mike and Sulley, blue collar creatures with an easy, free-flowing rapport, but three-year-old Mary Gibbs threatens to steal the scene every time she gets the chance with her adorable almost-words and penetrating good cheer.
Exceedingly well-balanced, with the kind of imagination that keeps mouths gaping and so much heart, even the boogeyman might have to fight back a tear or two. One of my favorites of the entire Pixar catalog, it swings hard and connects on every level. Sweet, sad, silly and stupendous, a timeless classic that I was glad to share with my kids.
The end brings tears to my eyes EVERY TIME!
One of my favourite cartoons from the past, I used to always watch it all the time with the copy of the dvd. Definetely a solid 8/10!
Seen this at least 20 times. The graphics are awesome.
I love the first Mamma Mia and knew nothing would live up to it, however this movie is pretty good too. It doesn't have that same upbeat feeling that I love about the first, (because it clearly has a more traumatic theme). But I still really enjoyed it.
Within our family we had a split decision: those who loved the first MAMMA MIA found this one not-as-good; people, like me, who found the original MAMMA MIA too over-the-top and surreal, absolutely loved HERE WE GO AGAIN! . The winning components of this sequel are: Lily James, Amanda Seyfried and their spectacular voices and performances, great ensemble pieces (when Sophie joins her mother's DYNAMOS the harmonies are exquisitely tight), great supporting cast, ABBA, iconic songs with which you couldn't help singing along (and then they stick in your head), musical selections that actually advanced the plot, (a couple of beautiful tender pieces I'd not heard before), and Cher. I saw this opening day (yesterday), sang the songs in my head all the rest of the day, and woke up wanting to go back to see it again. I gave the first one a 6 (fair) but I give this one an 8 (great) out of 10. [Comedic Musical Romance] (PS. I'm so glad they didn't go with the original versions of the younger dads).
Ok woooooow I actually really liked that. I didn't expect to like it at all, but it was surprisingly cute, had a decent plot, made me laugh, made me tear up, made me slap myself for tearing up, and unlike the last movie, it didn't have any weird, out of place songs like Evil Like Me. Honestly, I might like this better than the first one.
It's funny but I didn't particularly like it much the first time around but my daughter loved it. And, I will admit that it has grown on me over time. She's watched it over and over and memorized the songs. She's bought the clothes, loves the style and has read the books and graphic novels. And in the end the world it builds kind of pulls you in and you get to see new characters. And in the end, you get over the cheesiness and even come to enjoy it :wink:
