The Lego Movie (2014)

Family Rated PG

“…a kids’ comedy about social engineering.”

Frozen (2013)

Family Rated PG

“… feels like you’re either watching the first draft of a classic Disney animated musical or the 347th one.”

A Cat in Paris (2012)

Family Rated PG

“…has a delightfully idiosyncratic animated aesthetic – it’s like an intermingling of Art Deco and Cubism – but the story is all odd angles.”

“Very few animated films have had such a mesmerizing, puzzle-like quality.”

From Up on Poppy Hill (2013)

Family Rated PG

“…reminds us just how free-spirited, outrageous and original imagination can be.”

Little Indian, Big City (1996)

“If Little Indian, Big City were only humorless, the film would be easy enough to ignore.”

Monsters University (2013)

Family Rated G

“…a movie of unsure identity and unclear purpose.”

Family Rated PG

“For an hour and a half of harmless, cartoonish fun, Dunston will do.”
