Winnie Puuh (2011) Streaming-

"Winnie the Pooh" may not be a movie that grown-ups seek out on their own, but it may make some of them jealous of the 4-year-olds who are making the noble bear's acquaintance for the first time.. This is indeed good old Pooh, nothing to fear. No space robots or serial killers have been added to the cast.. It's a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary.. With so many cuts a second, all attention goes into...

Die Biene Maja - Der Kinofilm (2014) Online-Streaming-

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.. This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.. Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought.. The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning ab...

Die Boxtrolls (2014) Beobachten Film

The equivalent of throwing "Jurassic Park," "Avatar" and the absolute worst episode ever of "Land of the Lost" in a blender and pushing "garble.". Sincerely tries to pay homage to the likes of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson but is too contaminated by today's tame sensibilities to make it fly.. "The Boxtrolls" remains relentlessly busy up through its final credits, and it's clever in a nattering way. But it's virtually charmless.. A delectable treat that balances themes of identity and cl...

Madagascar 3: Flucht durch Europa (2012) Download Voll

This is that rare thing: a franchise that grows more winning with each instalment.. Cascading, colorful 3-D performance sequences are sufficiently dazzling that you'll forgive the bajillionth soundtrack sampling of "Firework.". Despite a script co-written by Noah Baumbach, "Madagascar 3" can't upgrade its own shtick, becoming a craven example of a fast-buck, no-fun family film.. It's silly, and it's lazy. And yet, again, it's pretty funny.. What might be barely tolerable in a seven-minute short ...

Titan A.E. (2000) Download Film

Could end up being the space epic to reckon with.. CGI fairy dust, dippy tooth puns and a semi-amusing Billy Crystal cameo can't disguise the fact that this sugary distraction is as hollow as a cavity.. The film is an industrial design marvel full of impressionistic, painterly backdrops and cool CGI effects.. One of those children's movies that is made for especially dim or easily fooled children.. In a summer driven by wow factors, Titan A.E. has a galaxy's worth.. There is no excuse for the ba...

Spy Kids 3 - Game Over (2003) Download Voll

There's enough classically derived Road Runner-type fun to keep most family audiences happy. But the characters betray their contrivance.. While there's a certain rough charm to the handmade virtual reality world [Rodriguez] creates, the movie still has the undeniable drawback that it causes a headache.. Song of the Sea is another satisfying smack in the face of computer-generated 3D animation from Irish director Tomm Moore, after his earlier, Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells.. Vivid concepti...

Toy Story 3 (2010) Streaming-

The 'Toy Story' films are deservedly seen as the gold standard for computer-generated animation.... Beautiful to look at, but where's its heart?. The Golden Compass is a blatant attempt to duplicate the success of the Harry Potter franchise. The only thing missing is richly imagined characters, a comprehensible story line, good acting, and satisfying special effects.. The film is sweet. Its observations of life in the aftermath of death ring true, especially for anyone who's traveled the contour...

Tierisch Wild (2006) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

As a movie that kids will enjoy with a few adult-oriented gags to keep parents from going completely insane with boredom, The Wild accomplishes its unambitious mission.. The animation here impresses more than in the equally defunct Madagascar, but everything else smacks of an easy money-making exercise of such dimwitted inanity even the youngest kids will see through it.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Awesom...

Die Eiskönigin - Völlig unverfroren (2013) Film-Streaming

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Make way for a new kind of fairy tale. These Frozen princesses are the kind we can definitely warm to.. Unlike in many animated movies, the borrowings aren't so much in-jokey as structural. Homages, of a sort, and fun to spot.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the ta...

Spirit - Der Wilde Mustang (2002) Beobachten Film

Adams' hoarse anthems become a betrayal of this horse opera's true potential; fortunately, there is enough fine achievement here to make the film worth seeing.. A cartoon that's truly cinematic in scope, and a story that's compelling and heartfelt -- even if the heart belongs to a big, four-legged herbivore.. Rather exciting, rendered in a bright sunset palette and a mixture of expressive, boldly drawn traditional animation and fluid computer-generated imagery.. An exciting and exquisitely rende...

Die Piraten - Ein Haufen merkwürdiger Typen (2012) Online-Streaming-

That the film happens to be in 3-D, with digitized settings and backgrounds, doesn't detract from the timeworn charm of watching blob-like characters lurch erratically through harebrained comic pratfalls.. The action is beautifully staged, delightful, and exciting.. The movie looks meticulously crafted, of course, and is consistently, drily amusing.. A curiosity cabinet of visual pleasures but so breezy and lightly funny that you may not realize at first how good it is. (You're too busy grinning...

Chicken Run - Hennen rennen (2000) Streaming-

The level of invention on display, from the vividly detailed models and figurines to the gallery of memorable supporting characters, is astonishing at any length.. It'd be churlish to carp about this triumph of craftsmanlike technique.. . Were Larry and Andy Wachowski just really, really lucky when they made The Matrix?. I love the look and the style and the spirit of this film.. More than the story of the Racer family, Speed Racer is the visual autobiography of the Wachowskis and their pit crew...

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. Tim Johnson ( Antz) has capitalized on DreamWorks' proprietary animation platform, Apollo to create a rich, intricate setting...But the technology doesn't save the film from falling flat on other levels.. The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of ...

Harry Potter und der Feuerkelch (2005) Beobachten Film

Whenever it hits its stride, it's a well-acted, vividly executed, full-speed-ahead special-effects extravaganza that puts as much bang as possible into every remaining scene.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. Music perfectly fits w...

Gregs Tagebuch 2 - Gibt's Probleme? (2011) Online-Streaming-

A film about as funny as a seeping wound.. A brisk, reverent, and subtly different sequel.. This follow-up seems so similar to the 1953 Disney classic that it makes one long for a geriatric Peter.. Preceded by a 1957 Pluto short, Never Land is a warmly nostalgic throwback.. For the most part this is a collection of set pieces that movies have served up many, many times before.. They've wimped out.. There follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.. No one but a c...

Cats & Dogs - Wie Hund und Katz (2001) Film-Streaming

Storks samba! Toucans tumba! Parrots party in kaleidoscopic formations to the music of Sergio Mendes!. The visuals have so much intrinsic motion that it's too bad Robots is oppressively rollercoasterish.. It may not shatter any molds, but it clicks along in a genial, spirited manner.. . Rio is a brightly-colored, dizzying pinwheel of 3D animation in which nothing much happens. Sounds like summer is here early.. Robots is a corporate product, after all -- but a sleek one.. Feels shopworn and rote...

Shrek - Der tollkühne Held (2001) Film Abspielen

Tangled is lovely to look at, but if you're not a pre-teen girl, you may be distracted by the split ends.. The script, instead of being what we tolerate in order to savor the visuals, is a delight all by itself.. A teeter-totter between O.K. and Meh.. Banal, shallow and markedly cynical.. This romantic fantasy complicates the roles of beauty and beast, making it hard to guess what form a sensitive resolution will take.. In an era when much on film seems old, Shrek seems new and fresh and clever....

Ein Königreich für ein Lama (2000) Online-Streaming-

Duff plays off her Lizzie Maguire persona as a cute but unassuming girl, but also conveys soulfulness and earnest longing.. The first Disney animated movie since The Little Mermaid that amounts to nothing more than a throwaway.. The Prince is a wet rag, the slapstick stepsisters are dull and even the fretful Sam seems colorless.. Let me get quickly to the word that best describes this movie. It is horrible.. Mean Girls it's not; a plastic butter knife has more edge. But sometimes it's nice to kn...

Harry Potter und der Halbblutprinz (2009) Streaming-

It really helps in these situations to have first-rate actors.. Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. This is the darkest, saddest, most sophisticated Harry Potter film yet.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT mov...

Die Chroniken von Narnia: Prinz Kaspian von Narnia (2008) Film-Streaming

It's nice that the film brings some real-world crunch to the story - ethnic characters whose presence make a social point ... and a clear message about the downside of a society where food is overabundant.. Sure, it's a big-budget spectacle. But it's also the kind of grandly old-fashioned entertainment we don't get enough of anymore.. 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' may not scale the artistic heights of a 'Finding Nemo' or 'Wall-E', but it's the most satisfying and original non-Pixar CG anim...
