Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)
Could be my favorite Panda movie of the franchise.
SOooo.. we went and saw Kung Fu Panda 3. It was AWESOME. It could very well be my favorite in the Panda series. The villain was REALLY well animated and his design ROCKED. The art direction was simply stunning and the movie was the perfect balance of thrilling kung fu action and silly comedy. Ever time it felt like the tone could be getting too serious and dark,, it would lighten right back up again and make you laugh - not in a trite way, but in a way that felt really suited to the tone of the Panda movies. My 4 year old daughter loved it and even my son, at 17 mos old, who kept getting tired of sitting still, would continually get pulled back into the movie by the awesome action. After the movie, the kids WERE Kung fu pandas for quite a while, it was adorable. GO SEE this movie!! I am sure we will see it again. I also LOVED the use of the Imagine Dragon's song "I'm so sorry" as Kai's theme.. its totally baddass and PERFECT for a Kung fu villain. loved it. go see it.
Barbie in Rock 'N Royals (2015)
exactly what I wanted it to be
When I saw the other review, I KNEW I had to write one as well. I rated this movie a 9/10 because, while its not the best movie in the world- its EXACTLY what I want to see in a Barbie movie aimed at young girls. I watched this movie with my 4 year old daughter. I often suffer thru Barbie movies for her, because SHE loves them and I love her. I have been pleasantly surprised by the improving quality of these movies. the previous movie, Secret door was fun and the music was really catchy. Rock 'n' Royalty movie was even better, IMHO. It has GREAT music (I have even learned 'What if I Shine' on the piano to play for my daughter) The plot line is fantastic! There is no cliché villain who is just evil for evil's sake - EVERY character has an understandable motivation and their actions cause real conflict. The main characters act in a way that is commendable - I LOVE that there is a moment when they (Erica and Courtney) have the opportunity to choose an easy path, but they CHOOSE to stick with the course they are on and tough it out! Great message for young girls. Super fun and a great movie for young girls! I highly recommend it.
