Full disclosure, I absolutely loved the first Peter Rabbit film. I found it completely hilarious and cackled numerous times. The sequel did not make me laugh. I typically don’t watch straight-up kid movies anymore, because they’re not funny, and they are as annoying as the kids in the audience. This movie completely reminded me of

Sailor Moon Eternal was basically the fourth season of the original anime, called Sailor Moon SuperS. This means that there was zero context. If you didn’t watch or read Sailor Moon, you would have no idea as to what was going on. I’ve been watching and reading Sailor Moon since the 1990s, so that wasn’t

I will preface this by stating I have not watched the Demon Slayer show, nor did I read a synopsis of what had happened prior to the characters getting onto the Mugen Train. I wanted to see this film for two reasons, 1) It’s the largest grossing Anime of all time apparently, in Japan and

Star Trek Lower Decks is going forward to the next frontier – animation. Now whilst this isn’t the first animated Star Trek series, it’s certainly a different take on one and as the ship itself is all about second contacts, it feels fitting that this is the second of its kind also. Lower Decks focuses on the support crew

Away is a multi-award-winning animation, single-handedly created by Latvian filmmaker and animator Gints Zilbalodis on a shoestring budget. It has earned a 100% fresh rating on review-aggregation website rotten tomatoes and, in what now appears to be something of a regular occurrence for me, it turned out to be yet another movie that I absolutely
Film #9 on the 100 Movies Bucket List: Toy Story When Toy Story was first released in 1995, it was groundbreaking. The first-ever fully computer-animated film and the first released by Disney Pixar, this was also one of the first films I saw at the cinema as an 8-year-old child. Admittedly at that age, I

After experiencing the incredible Wolfwalkers at last months London Film Festival, I vowed to correct the enormous mistake that I’d made of having never seen a Cartoon Saloon movie before. Director Tomm Moore followed 2009’s Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells with Song of the Sea, which was also nominated for an Oscar in 2015 but

I have recently purchased a ‘100 Movies Bucket List’ scratch-off poster, with the intention of finally crossing off all of the classic films I’ve never seen before. However with the current and ongoing COVID lockdowns, now seemed like a perfect time to watch all of the 100 films on this list including those I know
Christmas is nearing once again and with it comes yet another Christmas Carol reimagining. However, this is no normal adaptation, this is an extremely unconventional telling; we open with a Victorian family sitting to hear the story of A Christmas Carol with the grandmother reading from the text (she is also our narrator) and the

Directed by Pete Docter (Monsters Inc., UP and Inside Out) and co-directed by Kemp Powers, Soul follows Joe Gardner, a middle school band teacher who dreams of one day
Wolfwalkers is the latest animated offering from Irish based studio, Cartoon Saloon. I’m actually ashamed to say that before watching Wolfwalkers, I was pretty unfamiliar with their previous Irish folklore offerings – The Secret of Kells (2009) and Song of the Sea (2014) – but having seen this latest animated feature, it’s a mistake that

Tenet? I’m sorry, no, THIS is actually the biggest movie release of the week. Well, it is when you’re currently having to isolate at home and cannot go to the cinema for a few weeks. Despite that, I was actually way more excited for this to hit Disney+ this morning than a man my age
