Die Chroniken von Narnia: Die Reise auf der Morgenröte (2010) Beobachten Film

Considering the fact that a young girl is picking her nose on the movie poster, "The Croods" is surprisingly evolved.. Even the lively visuals and unrelenting thrill-ride pace can't disguise rough-hewn storytelling, or the fact that the tale of a old-fashioned macho cave dad and his family seems a bit yabba-dabba done that already.. As family viewing, it's pleasant enough: primitive, yes, but in a digitally sophisticated way that's boisterous, funny and will no doubt sell a lot of toys.. Fast-pa...

Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte (2009) Beobachten Film

This computer-animated (but non-Pixar) adventure flick doesn't do much of anything innovative, but it sports a disarming furball of a lead and enough jaunty comic turns to carry the day.. In the pre-Thanksgiving lull, parents can take their young'uns to Bolt, drop their 10-to-14-year-olds off at Twilight, and the whole family will have survived the weekend.. Adults won't find much to enjoy here, though the dog's high-octane action series serves as a perverse parody of Jerry Bruckheimer-style sum...

Nix wie weg - vom Planeten Erde (2013) Online-Streaming-

It's a bowl of warm water into which no one has bothered to place a bouillon cube. The kids in the theater with me never mustered a single laugh or gasp of excitement. It's plenty o' nuttin'.. There's scarcely enough story here for a half-hour TV cartoon.. It's unchallenging fun for a younger crowd, but adults might feel like they're staring down a colorful 24-piece board puzzle, trying to figure out how such a simple activity could be drawn out over 90 minutes.. ... as cluttered as the movie ge...

Fat Albert (2004) Streaming-

Although Fat Albert is smart enough to poke fun at itself director Joel Zwick can't quite conjure up any modern relevance.. The Cosby touch (he's co-writer and co-executive producer) is in full effect, schmaltz notwithstanding, as Albert and the gang run through their series of pleasantly diverting escapades.. Fat Albert manages to talk down to two generations of pop-cult consumers - the Boomers and the Gen-Xers - while leaving no reason for their uncategorized offspring to join in on the Hey! H...

Bee Movie - Das Honigkomplott (2007) Beobachten Film

. Nothing about the movie resonates emotionally.. . The film's charm, quickness and design carry the day.. Livelier, it feels more like a cartoon.. This is a beautifully animated, cleverly executed, warm and funny adventure.. Kids will love the crowd-pleasing depiction of an entire prehistoric world, complete with an adorable baby Dino -- and loads of great sight gags and puns.. The cast from the first Flintstones movie has gone off to break rocks somewhere else.. The movie has some pretty pictu...

Wir kaufen einen Zoo (2011) Online-Streaming-

"We Bought a Zoo" is a movie you want to like, and a movie you can enjoy if you cut its slackness some slack.. The picture annoys you, but it also wrings happy tears, because Crowe pulls at your heartstrings in crafty ways.. Damon and Colin Ford as his teen son have an affecting hesitancy, their hearts hovering between the living and the dead.. We Bought a Zoo is so filled with artificial sweetener that it may cause cancer.. A pretty good fantasy -- with different bits of Potter and Jules Verne ...

Rango (2011) Download Film

Say what you will about 'Rango,' the computer-animated Western riding hard on Johnny Depp doing the voice of a lizard - just don't call it business as usual.. Yes, [there are] enough nods to other sources to make Rango a bobblehead. But the movie, and much of John Logan's writing, is still pretty durn clever.. What elevates it above a cheeky romp is the skilled CGI work, not only the wealth of tactile detail lavished on the parched townsfolk but also the painterly, sand-swept vistas they call ho...
