The Secret World of Arrietty

There is an ocean of difference between the animated films we usually see in our theaters and those produced by Studio Ghibli. Without detracting from the great work of Pixar or Dreamworks, the Japanese studio films possess a unique magic, not only because they still hand-draw their work, which is one of its greatest virtues, but also because of the way it addresses family stories from a fantastic, honest and spiritual perspective.

Wreck-It Ralph

Those who used to jump with joy while going through all the worlds and adventures of Mario Bros and those who spent countless hours at the arcades are the ones who can especially and fully comprehend the beauty and nostalgia behind the extraordinary world shown in the movie Wreck-it Ralph.

Brave

Queen Elinor has summoned all clans, usually spread as wild sheeps in the green pastures of Scotland. The idea is to make a game in order to decide who is going to claim the princess as their wife, just as tradition wants.

Shrek: to franchise or not to franchise?

When it came out in 2001, Shrek was one of the very first movies that played with dissacrating the ordinary fairy-tail. The result was funny, fresh and original. Many productions have been following this style ever since, including the sequels to Shrek themselves.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

"Fantastic Mr. Fox" tells the adventures of Mr. Fox, an elegant middle-aged clever fox who works as a columnist in a local newspaper. His youth dedicated to poaching chicken seems to be over; or at least so is implied by the first scene, when trapped in a chicken coop he promises his future wife to give up his wild animal attitude if they manage to escape from the trap.

Toy Story

The first Toy Story movie was produced by Pixar and distributed by Disney in 1995. The second chapter was supposed to be a home video from the start; but the success of the first film pushed the decision of releasing it in the theaters instead, in 1999. Over 10 years later, in 2010, Andy is a grown up and so are the kids who were watching Buzz and Woody for the first time in the 90s.
