Saw Charlie the Wonderdog. It was ok. Strengths: Very energetic+expressive animation, charming protagonist, mostly good core message, interesting themes. Weaknesses: Basic script, undeveloped characters, LOTS of squandered potential. Bit of a stale dog treat this one. Still, fun for the kids. 3/5⭐'s

Saw "Zootopia 2". An excellent furry film for furry fans (and film fans) with an excellent if somewhat limited expansion on The Zootopia Idea. I find its themes are stronger than Zoop1, its plot is better executed, and its world-building is great, everything you'd want from a Zootopia sequel. 4/5⭐s

Saw "Pets on A Train". A shockingly intense, high-octane flick with a wild and wacky ensemble of charming, surprisingly well-rounded animal characters. The peril might be a lot for younger viewers, but for those that love action and suspense, Pets on A Train is a ride you won't wanna miss. 4/5 ⭐'s

My understanding is that there's a bunch, like dozens, of aboriginal tribal nations inland in Oz. It's a common misconception that there's nothing but desert. The same was true of the USA prior to colonization of course.

Saw "Night of the Zoopocalypse". A zoombie-filled feast for the eyes + for the ears- incredible synth-y score- that's chock full of genuine suspense, heart, + humor. Visuals + neon style carry a just-smart-enough script + likable characters thru a night of wild, but kid-friendly, horrors. 4/5⭐s

Saw Dog Man today. Like the Captain Underpants adaptation before it, Dog Man is colorful delight that injects a little bit of that dark Dreamworks depth while remaining doggedly loyal to the charmingly simplistic Dav Pilkey classic & underneath the zaniness there's powerful themes to uncover.

Saw Flow (2024) today and it was incredible. Mesmerizing and beautiful in a way hard to describe. A tense, quiet, wordless epic that feels like a new myth from a diff species. Gleaning meaning may require a deep dive into the sea of its dreamy imagery, but the view from the surface is just as lovely

Saw "The Garfield Movie", it was nice and sweet, like a crème brulée after a hefty Italian meal: pleasant, but you always wish there was more of it. Stylish and full of color and personality, Garfield only suffers from a lack of ambition that's nothing new for the franchise. 3/5⭐'s

I saw "IF" and liked it quite a bit. IF dishes a lot of sweet fluff where others might have wanted a bit more spice and solid smarts, but what IF does well is load the plate with a heaping helping of hope. Which is something people need nowadays. Especially the grown-ups. 3/5⭐

I saw "Migration" yesterday. A delicious swirl of color and emotion. A very fun and gorgeous film to look at. A whirlwind family vacation that's big on charm and laughs, Migration doesn't pull punches either on action, suspense, and even romance. 4/5⭐

Saw "The Boy and the Heron" today. A beautiful film with extraordinary animation, overflowing with charm and a plot that doesn't hold your hand and trusts you to follow where it leads. 4/5⭐
