Great 83 Points 2011

Need a lift? I did and The Adventures of Tintin provided it. Light-hearted, highly inventive, magnificently assured, the Belgian boy wonder’s big Hollywood movie proved just the ticket. LOLs are rarely so airy.

A Tintin newbie, I had no familiarity with the comic-page hero: his investigat…

Toy Story 3
Perfect 92 Points 2010

Flawless. Silly, deep, wonderful and wise, TS3 pegs the perfection meter. Boing!! Purple, purple, purple. Every toy gets its due, every heart string gets plucked, every joke works. Wow, how does Pixar keep doing this? They’re the Jacksons – the Phil Jacksons – of movie making.

TS3 gi…

Great 20 Points 2010

How to Train Your Dragon deserves to be considered along side the Toy Story, Cars, and other animated family greats. And for those of you who remember Asterix and Obelix – this movie will bring up memories of that that old-school Teutonic humor infused with a lighter look at dragon slaying. Fina…

Day & Night
Great 66 Points 2010

Day & Night cleverly combined 2 and 3D animation, breaking new ground in the process. It presented cartoon characters of Day and of Night in a 2D foreground plane, while the world of daytime and the world of nighttime are visible in 3D space behind them. It all works magnificently well on scr…

Barely OK 66 Points 2010

Who can pronounce Ga’Hoole? Who enjoys the joke that owls suffer from “daymares?” Who can keep straight similar looking owls with names like Gylfie, Eglantine and Allomere? Who indeed.

Hooey. This animated fantasy movie is for the birds, ironically suffering from too much ambition and too …

Really Great 112 Points 2009

A high flying bird-of-paradise, this brilliant movie enters the Pixar pantheon by delivering equal measures of LOL comedy, enlightened human insight (canine too), and strong moral values. Movies get no better.

Up’s cowriters and codirectors aren’t newcomers to this kind of lighthearted tour…

Very Good 119 Points 2009

Transcendentally beautiful yet cravenly appalling, brilliant yet formulaic, James Cameron’s latest magnum opus induces awe and disgust in equal measure. The former comes from its stunningly realized vision of an Edenic world, the latter from the seditious anti-Americanism that animates the sto…

Really Great 66 Points 2009

Gobs of fun for kids and adults, this high octane spoof features lifelike animation seamlessly blended with live action, mucho LOL, a clever story and hip-kid music. Plus the 3D works splendidly, as fresh an experience as color must have seemed to B&W audiences back in the day.

Partly Cloudy
Perfect 78 Points 2009

Perhaps the most lighthearted film ever, this rib tickling short delivers surprising emotional weight in its six minute running time. Initially evoking classic delivered-by-the-stork scenes from cartoons gone by, the film soon becomes a tale of dutiful loyalty in the face of inadvertent harm. …
