Movie Reviews:
- Reno: **The baby on a mission!**
- If you ask anybody from the pre 90s, they would say their love for animated feature started with ‘Toy Story’. But mine was DreamWorks’ ‘Antz’. So this production house might not be as good as Disney or Pixar, but still a better one than the rest of those who are in the same business, except Sony who comes equal. I wanted this film to be good, yeah, it is a box office hit, but not critically. The regular animated film goer accepted it. And I think as well, it is entertaining, so much fun in parts, if not the entire film.
- The story of a boy whose happy life being an only child has taken away from his newborn little brother. Then one day he discovers the baby could speak and came to the house with a bigger plan. Knowing what it is and joining hands with him to tackle is what the remaining narration covers. Quite fun film. Animation, story and all the adventures were good. The voice-over was great. Alec Baldwin was awesome, but it’s fair to praise the technicians, the animators.
- At first, I thought some of the jokes were rude, if the film is for families, particularly for the kids. But when I watched the rest of the film, it did not look going anymore worse. A simple story and predictable, but it was enjoyable, that makes you forget yourself for a while. Despite the mixed response in acceptance, I’ve heard the sequel is on, in a couple of years. I think it is a good decision, even the storyline, how it ended encourages that. It’s not going to be your favourite animated film, but surely not to be missed if you love animation.
