Ratatouille
Good 97 Points 2007

Pixar fan though I am, this latest installment was a disappointment. While the story picked up steam towards the end, the movie delivered no laugh-out-loud moments and little insight into the human condition illustrated by the fantastical characters, the hallmarks of great Pixar movies.

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. …

Planet 51
Barely OK 67 Points 2009

A solid concept, turgidly executed make this an acceptable way to pass the time with kids at the movies. Barely. Good jokes are few and far between in this slow movie about a Buzz Lightyear-like astronaut who lands on a 1950s planet of green aliens.

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.

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…

Dolphin Tale
Great 66 Points 2011

Winter’s tale propels a terrific family movie. Never mind that Winter – the dolphin whose rehab from disabling injury the movie lovingly portrays – is the movie’s only real character. The fictional human characters surrounding her are easy to root for, and laugh with.

They include a father…

Pretty Awful 66 Points 2011

Disjointed, unfunny and preachy aren’t what the doctor calls for in family entertainment. Oh yeah, in a movie full of musical numbers, it doesn’t help that the songs are neither memorable or catchy.

How disjointed and unfunny? The theater we were in was dead, no laughter, only the occasional…
