Glad to be back!
Tangled. It means a lot to me in a personal sense.
Does that mean you need a haircut?
Tangled. It means a lot to me in a personal sense.
I steered clear of watching "kids movies" for years as the children loved telling me about them, and did so in a way no movie could ever top. The spontaneous re-inactment of Kung-Fu Panda by a group of 4 year olds is one of my favourite memories!
My partner and I started watching them gradually and a lot of our favourite movies are animated. I adore anything with the Minions in it - so "minion" was one of my nephew's first 2 syllable words (said "mi-nun", just adorable!!!). How to Train Your Dragon, it's sequel, and the various tv series made are all on heavy rotation around here. Tangled is good, though I prefer The Princess and the Frog as the story is much more developed. Kung Fu Panda and sequel, and shorts. I love Inside Out as an educator as it just has so many things I can work with to help children understand those complex feelings that are so hard to explain and really nut out. It's a good movie, though short of depth in the story and characters, outside of their heads. Hotel Transylvania and sequel are also amazing, very well done (and the only movie I've ever seen that had Adam Sandler in it).
But my hands down favourite is The Lego Movie! Everything is awesome! Just so damned clever. It's so well written that knowing the narrative structure and guessing the plot points doesn't hinder enjoyment of the actual story. It's predictable but in that rare way that turns that predictability into part of the whole *point* of the movie... and there's lego Batman. Who is awesome, though his music is not.
