Animal Crackers

The generally formulaic story here veers in odd directions at times, like a slightly dazed monkey on a unicycle.

Trolls World Tour

This glittery sequel ultimately teaches a valuable lesson about loving and accepting people who are different.

Four Kids and It

Four Kids and It is a tale of children who meet a magical, wish-granting creature. But the story goes deeper than that.

Artemis Fowl

Eoin Colfer, the author of the Artemis Fowl book series, described the novels as “Die Hard with fairies.”

Sonic the Hedgehog

This big-screen take on Sega’s anthropomorphized cobalt cannonballer is mostly cute and cuddly.

Dolphin Reef

Dolphin Reef ably weaves together made-up fish tales to give us a very nice understanding of how a coral reef ecosystem works.

The Sword in the Stone

Although The Sword in the Stone certainly delves into the world of magic and sorcery, it’s meant to be light and fun.

Little Women (2019)

Director Greta Gerwig’s version of this classic faithfully gives fans more of what they adore from the beloved March sisters.

Cats

If you’re approaching this Broadway classic for the first time, well, this might not be the cinematic catnip you’re expecting.

Dolittle

This is the sort of pic that kids will forgive and enjoy, and adults will cruise through and pretty quickly forget.
