After a few mishaps, including only just surviving a hawk attack, Rango finds himself, more by accident than design, appointed sheriff of Dirt, a town inhabited by animals of the desert. The town has water problems, and Rango is tasked with sorting them out. There is also the additional threat in the name of gunslinger called Rattlesnake Jake, who is only kept away from the town by a menacing red-tailed hawk.

The town’s water supply is kept under lock and key in the vault at the town’s bank, but Rango accidentally gives the vault’s location away to local moles and prairie dogs, who are really robbers.

This is the premise of the movie, and the basis for an exciting wild west adventure starring just about every kind of desert-living animal, and there are many, ranging from snakes and lizards, to birds and mammals, all voiced convincingly by stars of stage and screen, and all with unlikely names, such as Angelique, a fox, and Balthazar, a mole. Some of the hidden voices cover more than one character. All through this wonderful family film a band of Mexican burrowing owls keep up the narrative in song, now and again becoming involved in the plot.

For a movie that will entertain and excite as good triumphs over evil, the Rango DVD truly delivers; this is a film that will be enjoyed by viewers of all ages.

UP movie has everything a fantastic movie should have – a terrific sense of humor, a great level of storytelling, mind-blowing animation. I have never thought that there can be better animation than the one in Coraline, Bolt and Wall-E, but Up looks much better. 

The movie is a huge hits of all time. First of all, it is natural and completely believable, it seemed to me that I spent half of my life with Carl and perfectly know all his feelings and thoughts. Carl is very lovable character.

While watching this movie I was both bursting into laughter and tears and it definitely touched my heart. This movie is definitely freakin’ fine and unexpectedly hilarious. To my mind it is the best movie from Pixar. After watching it I was ready to bet that miracles and wonders DO exist and their a part of our every day life.

The movie is flawless and it is the best I have ever seen, I must confess it is even funnier than the Toy Story and more touching that the Monsters Corp.

Definitely a must-see, so don’t miss!

I am not a huge fan of the series but it seems to me that the whole movie was inspired by the first six issues, because in the movie we deal with a battle with Ares. However, I must admit that the plot has been a lot simplified but the movie becomes even better because of this change. The film features numerous high-class action-heavy battles, and I love them all – they are literally breathtaking. However, the movie is a bit violent one and sometimes while fighting scenes some heroes stay without their heads (brrr), so it is better to watch this film without children. Ares looks great and very believable, I found this hero particularly hilarious. But some heroes were lack of their magic, for example, WW and Steve Trevor were not as deep and interesting as they were in the comics.

Frankly speaking, I don’t know a lot about comics and heroes but it seems to be that the director knows even less. But these minor faults are not capable of spoiling the entire impression from this powerful and extremely catching film.

To my mind it is the best animated superhero movie I’ve seen yet, although it is far from a perfect one.

Igor is a blistering and incredibly appealing animated comedy with the voices of John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, and Molly Shannon. A mad scientist and his experiments are in the center of the whole story and the story itself is entertaining and sometimes a bit dark.

To tell the truth, I don’t think most children will understand its jokes so they will fly well over their heads of kids. But movie’s PG rating is appropriate. Igor seemed to be doomed to serve mad scientists, but he wanted much more … When his master dies Igor makes his mind to assemble a female monster (and he managed to do this) and to win the first place at the Evil Science Fair seems assured. But love ruins all his plans.

The animation is really great and touching. Don’t miss!!!

What can be better during Christmas holidays than a touching family movie offering top notch animation? For example, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. The following movie was directed by Andrew Adamson (“Shrek”) and it can be literally named one of the best fantasy films of all time.

Frankly speaking I worried a bit since the movie is based on the worst books in the series (sorry for hurting your feelings, tastes differ). They could have chosen a better book, but … what’s done can’t be undone. But the movie was really charming, kids, the Lion and the Witch – everything is great, visual effects are beyond any disputes, magnificent. 

It is exactly the movie to enjoy during long and cold Christmas evenings! Merry Christmas, dears!

Christmas is already here and I would like to recommend you a fantastic animation to enjoy. I must warn you, it is lack of usual Christmas movies’ aura, such as snow and a tree, but it is full of magic and warmth. I am talking about Horton Hears A Who movie.

Apart from excellent animation, it raises important questions of our society and shows that both small and big people have right not only to live but tailor their life the way they like.

I like the most expressions of heroes’ faces, they are so real, so amazingly vivid and bright. Jim Carrey is absolutely hilarious here and I can’t think of any other actor to be the voice of Horton. I must admit it was a splendid effort from 20th Century Fox.

1. The animation is first-class, the colours are unbelievably rich and crisp and bright. It is a real pleasure to enjoy the movie of THIS level. The movie has some of the greatest 3D animated fight scenes EVER.
2. Music perfectly fits into the overall motif of the movie. All sounds are outstanding and adequate and they come in time. Simply feel the atmosphere of Asia.
3. Panda gives us a lesson to learn. It touches our heart and shows how incredible this world is. 

First of all, the scenes are adorable. You really feel like in an ancient Chinese city. Then, the story is cool, fascinating and keeps you in suspense. The film has a lot of marital art scenes.

The animation is great and voices, voices …. charming. Angelina Jolie is so nice, I think, her talent has grown up together with her belly (’cause she is still pregnant).

The movie really rocks!

Well, this is my first post on moviescomments.com. Hope you guys like my style and choice. The Dark Crystal is an amazing piece of creation. This is an award winning movie.

The story takes us to another planet some thousand years ago. One of the Urskeks damages the Dark Crystal and an era of anarchy starts expanding its wings.

The evil monstrous appearing lizards bearing some traits of birds are seen ruling the planet with an iron claw. Meanwhile, the peace loving race of wizards known as Mystics gets worried as the time of the Great conjunction of the three suns is drawing closer. As per the prophecy the world must restore order and peace. The wisest man from the Mystics is on death bed.

The hero of the movie, Jen, an orphan, the last of the Gelflings, ventures on to find out the missing shard of the Dark Crystal.

I will maintain the suspense here. Watch out the movie to know what is the significance of the Dark Crystal and does Jen succeed in his adventure. If you love animation and adventure, you will like the movie for sure.

Here is the trailer:

And these creatures can’t imagine that there is something bigger than their world. Actually, the same situation happens with Horton neighbours, they refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck. But Horton is a very kind elephant so he makes his mind to safe Whoville, ’cause one of his main guidelines sounds “After all, a person is a person, no matter how small.”

General Impressions

This movie is a real rave of colour, amazing animation and incredible voices selection. I enjoyed it from start to finish! I guess, many people will say that this movie is too sweet and warm, than, guys, you have confused the genres, if you were expecting black humour and tons of blood in the children animation movie, I beg you a pardon, it is full of nice characters and lovely scenes.

The movie is faithful, fascinating and touching, the best adaptation of a Children’s Classic. 

Highly recommended!
