Destined to divide opinion, SCOOB! was to be the first theatrical Scooby-Doo film since the poorly received live- action sequel Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleased way back in 2004, and amazingly was the first animated adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera creation billed to receive a full theatrical release – that is, until Coronavirus entered the picture! The […]
Two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot (Tom Holland and Chris Pratt), go on an epic quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him. The film starts with a
Weathering With You is another beautifully creative romantic fantasy from director Makoto Shinkai, who was responsible for 2016 hit, Your Name. I only recently watched Your Name, and to say that it blew me away would be an understatement – it’s a movie I still think about to this day. So, I headed into Weathering

Despite being a huge fan of Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings, I’d managed to miss out on Missing Link, the latest movie from stop-motion masters Laika, last year when it was originally shown in cinemas. Having recently won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, and on the receiving end of a

I’m not exactly complaining, but Tom Holland does seem to literally be in everything right now. As I sat ready to watch Spies in Disguise, which features the voice of Tom Holland, there was a trailer for upcoming Pixar movie Onward, featuring the voice of Tom Holland. Then a trailer for Dolittle, starring Robert Downey

Taki is a 17 year old boy living in Tokyo. He lives the life of a normal teen – school, coffee shops with friends and in the evening he works as a waiter in an Italian restaurant where he has a crush on his boss. Mitsuha is a 17 year old girl living a very
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how big a hit 2013 movie Frozen was. For a long while after it was released, you couldn’t go on social media, or even turn on a TV, without seeing mention of Frozen in some form. And you couldn’t really avoid hearing somebody bash out their
Disney’s 1994 animated version of The Lion King was a huge hit. Not only did it win Academy Awards for original score (courtesy of the amazing Hans Zimmer) but also for original song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” by Elton John & Tim Rice. It also won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture

I really can’t believe it’s been 9 years since Toy Story 3! It’s even more unbelievable to think that the first Toy Story came out in 1995, meaning these beloved characters have now been with us for nearly a quarter of a century! I don’t think anybody really expected, or even thought we needed, yet

So many times I have had to defend myself when heading off to see the latest “kids movie” without a little one in tow. Don’t get me wrong, there is something special about taking a child to the cinema and if Mark and I were fortunate enough to have our own, they would definitely be

It’s been more than 50 years since Mary Poppins first graced our screens. A timeless, classic Disney movie that’s enchanted families for generations. Some might argue that it didn’t really need a sequel, but Mary Poppins was already loosely based on a series of books anyway, so plenty of material to work with. And if

I cannot believe it’s been 6 years since we last saw Ralph and Vanellope! And when we join them again, they’re still in the same arcade, right where we left them. By day carrying out their respective gaming duties, by night socialising with the other arcade characters and drinking together in Tappers bar. They seem

From robotic teachers and police, right the way down to the smaller, task orientated robots. Friendly robot hairbrushes leap on kids heads and start brushing their messy hair while robot toothbrushes, programmed by mum to ensure their
Final Space flashed up a few times as a recommended for me show on Netflix. As the trailer automatically played, it came across as some kind of Futurama/Rick and Morty wannabee, with annoying characters. So I ignored it, until one day I just decided to give it a go. And, it was slightly annoying for

After recently reading a fair few uncomplimentary critic reviews for Christopher Robin, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this. But, I was actually pleasantly surprised. And my wife absolutely loved it! The movie begins with Christopher Robin as the child we all know from the stories. He’s having a farewell tea party with Pooh
