Madagascar (2005) Fuld Film Streaming

. What makes it good is that the story is a kind of parable that suggests some seriousness beneath the surface, even sadness.. . A safe-as-milk, toy-ready, born-to-cross-promote piece of animated Hollywood product that will likely please children but leave adults dreaming of The Incredibles.. As entertaining as it is wholesome.. . Secondhand Lions tries to delight, but its charms are no more credible than the swashbuckling adventure that Caine's character recounts.. Madagascar is great good fun,...

Maya the Bee Movie (2014) Spille Film

The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning about conformity and about going to war on false pretenses.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Skip the movie altogether, and buy one of the books, instead.. The artwork, I liked it, is faithful to the original, but to te...

Nim's Island (2008) Fuld Film Streaming

A slapdash amalgam of competing visual and storytelling styles, bizarre acting, egregious product placement (particularly for National Geographic) and negative stereotypes.. It's a wondrous and warmhearted adventure story with some nifty special effects and some first-rate performances.. A sweet-natured family adventure film that should be quite popular with the grade-school girls at which it's aimed.. The movie is not particularly rewarding for adults or children who believe that even a tale of...

Ratatouille (2007) Se Fuld Film

A lot of animated movies have inspired sequels, notably Shrek, but Brad Bird's Ratatouille is the first one that made me positively desire one.. Ratatouille doesn't center on the over-familiar surfaces of contemporary life. It harks back to Disney's older era, when cartoons seemed part of a more elegant world with less edgy characters.. This delicious tale of a rat who cooks is pure joy, a grand achievement -- one of the most beautiful animated pictures ever made.. Arguably the finest 'toon in t...

Narnia: Løven, heksen og garderobeskabet (2005) Fuld Streaming

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. Long may it roar.. Adamson seems more comfortable with animated characters than real ones.. The hard-core may experience the thrill of recognition. But the rest of us can be forgiven a perfectly appropriate giggling fit.. A masterpiece of genre f...

Brendan Og Hemmelighedernes Bog (2009) Spille Film

Hiaasen's sense of humor loses something in the translation. What's side-splitting on the page becomes silly on the screen.. While Hoot has heart -- subtlety turns out to be endangered.. The Secret of Kells has elements of a quest adventure and a coming-of-age story, but it's more beautifully stylized and astutely abstracted than the average kiddie cartoon.. One wishes that a film about the fight against a bland restaurant chain were more piquant. But movies for tweens, like burrowing owls, are ...

Hjælp! Vi skal passes (2012) Se Streaming

If you're looking for an all-ages crowd-pleaser, this may be your best bet.. This kernel of inter-generational farce never pops.. Secretariat earns its best accolades for asking even larger questions as it highlights the story not just of a terrific horse but of his greatest champion, owner Penny Chenery, portrayed with grace, edge and a growing sense of self by Diane Lane.. I can't deny I did feel fonder of my own family afterward, mostly because I know none of them would ever make me sit throu...
