'Pinocchio' Review
The "Pan's Labyrinth" director treads closer to that sublime masterwork with an adaptation that restores a classic story's power.
‘Wendell & Wild’ Review
The "Coraline" director partners with Jordan Peele for his latest creepy-crawly adventure, this one spotlighting institutional evils.
‘Pinocchio’ Review
Robert Zemeckis follows up his update of "The Witches" for a remake that's even less memorable.
‘Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers’ Review
Andy Samberg and John Mulaney take Disney to task, and a pair of animated chipmunks who were on TV years ago become relevant again.
‘Turning Red’ Review
Pixar's groundbreaking project runs the gamut from teen dramedy to action epic, and is timelier than perhaps any of the studio's previous efforts.
'Encanto' Review
The animation studio's latest big-hearted adventure is an affair rooted in home, and in feeling like an outsider in your own family.
‘The Mitchells vs. the Machines’ Review
Buoyed by producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s frenzied oddball energy, Netflix’s newest animated offering finely balances commentary and sheer colorful entertainment.
‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Review
Walt Disney Animation’s latest is its most action-packed entry since “Big Hero 6” and its most soulful since “Moana.”
‘Cryptozoo’ Review (Sundance)
Molding a bevy of influences into a work so singularly bizarre that you swear you’d imagined the whole thing once it’s over, Dash Shaw’s “Cryptozoo” – a hand-drawn fantasia of sex, fantasy-tinged espionage and counterculture revolution – is the kind of effort that taps expectations of animation being solely for children on the shoulder before setting it ablaze, gathering the ashes and rocketing the remains into space.
‘Soul’ Review
“Soul,” if you allow it metatextual leeway, shows Pixar wrestling with questions becoming of the 25-year-old studio’s priorities and standards. But taken on its own terms, it’s also a serviceable, pretty funny, slightly ostentatious movie concerned with some of the most spiritual concepts a movie can possibly concern itself with.
