Baymax! (2022)
Fantastic and heartwarming
Come for Baymax, stay for all the heartwarming feels! And fantastic diversity in stories and characters. This show shows how love is love and talks about maybe tough topics in a sweet and considerate manner. Watch this!
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)
Simply amazing!
I went into this having read the comic and yet it would have been great without that. The comedy was completely on point as well as a more mature setting for TMNT (which has kept a lower profile on the violence in television and movies than the comics). While the story diverged from the comic it was so well done it didn't matter!
The art, particularly for the turtles was not a high selling point but their personalities shined so much (through such talented voice acting....never thought of Darren Criss as Raph!) that I am simply in love.
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019)
Adorable and fun adaptation
For a series that generally doesn't have much of a varying plot I was pleasantly surprised by the trailer for this movie. This movie really created a world where people and Pokémon live side by side. The story was not in depth and yes it is geared towards older kids but it was fun, fast paced and sweet. The comedy was on point and in the end just a fun movie!
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018)
A fantastic new take on a classic franchise
I have been a lifelong fan of tmnt (watching the original cartoon when I was a young child). Each incarnation I was skeptical and this was no different. I will admit at first to being put off by the changes and art style but once the first trailer was released I decided to give it a chance. I went in assuming it would be ok and I was blown away! From the preview episode and each one since I have fallen more in love with the series! The voice actors are phenomenal, it is fun and fast paced and (as with other animated incarnations) I can watch this with my kids. It is definitely what I look forward to on Saturday mornings now!
