Dragon Hunters
Even if you pride yourself on possessing intimate knowledge of the happenings within the computer generated animated feature film industry, there’s a pretty good chance 2008’s Dragon Hunters …

Barnyard - The Original Party Animals
If you could go back to 2006, you’d find yourself smack dab in the middle of the talking animal computer generated feature film era.  Blue Sky was riding high on the Ice Age films, DreamWorks …

A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures
I’ve long supported the theory that in the realm of computer animated features, underwater reigns supreme! Beginning with Pixar’s Finding Nemo and then taking into consideration DreamWorks’ …

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
I don’t know why, but I’ve always felt that 2005’s Madagascar really didn’t need sequels.  This isn’t to say that the characters and settings weren’t conducive …

Casper's Scare School
Generally speaking, the bigger hit CG animated features are the ones based on newly developed characters.  There was no Woody before Toy Story, no Sully before Monsters Inc., no Po before Kung-Fu …

Adventures in Zambizia
There’s a simple reality when it comes to computer generated feature films here in the United States- and that is simply that the DVDs and BLU-RAYs finding their way onto our store shelves, into …

Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
I’ve got to admit that while 2008’s Horton Hears a Who! proved Dr. Seuss’ material seemed custom tailored to the computer generated animation movement, the story lacked that degree of …
reviewed Happy Feet Two. April 05

Happy Feet 2
I’ve got to admit, the first Happy Feet took me by surprise.  Penguins- been there done that.  Musicals- been there, don’t need to do that again.  Environmentalism agendas – …
reviewed Puss in Boots. April 03
posted in Movie Hype
Puss in Boots
Given the success of the Puss character from the second Shrek film onward, one would get the feeling it would take a lot to screw up the origin story.  However, looking at the film as a whole, it …
reviewed Rio: The Movie. April 02
posted in Movie Hype
Rio
Unlike industry moguls Pixar and DreamWorks, Blue Sky Studios hasn’t been quite as versatile in their subject-matter when it comes to pumping out computer generated animated feature films.  …
reviewed Hoodwinked Too! Hood Versus Evil. April 01
posted in Movie Hype
Hoodwinked Too! Hood Versus Evil
The first Hoodwinked, though nothing too revolutionary, made a name for itself in a very competitive industry on account of the fact that it, like Shrek before it, managed to walk the thin between classic …
reviewed Legend of the Sea. April 01
posted in Movie Hype
Legend of the Sea
Contrary to how it may seem at times, I hate giving overly negative reviews.  Movies, like any form of art, are often great labors of love: The result of love, sweat, tears and toil.  But at …
reviewed Hotel Transylvania. April 01
posted in Movie Hype
Hotel Transylvania
This past Halloween was pretty exciting as far as animated features goes: Frankenweenie, Paranorman, Hotel Transylvania- if a trip to my local Cineplex didn’t cost roughly the same as the Gross …

posted in Movie Hype
Guardians of the Lost Code
When one typically thinks of anime, the countries of origin that usually come to mind are of Asian orientation: Japan mostly and then perhaps China, Korea and so on.  However Synkronized Films hopes …

Happy Feet (Widescreen Edition) (2006)
Of all the computer animated talking animals out there these days, penguins have certainly enjoyed the limelight.  Happy Feet, Penguins of Madagascar, Surfs Up, The Jungle Bunch- these are just a …

Animals United - Adventures in Africa
You kind of have to go into these direct-to-DVD CG feature releases from Arc Entertainment a bit leery on account of the practice of taking a foreign-made film and slapping an English dialog track atop …
reviewed Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever. March 24
posted in Movie Hype
Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever
Like many kids in the early 1980s, I remember the Inspector Gadget franchise pretty fondly.  While it lacked the fantastical elements I craved in my daily He-Man fix and the over-the-top do-gooder …
reviewed The Reef 2: High Tide. March 24
posted in Movie Hype
The Reef 2: High Tide
Unlike a majority of the press, I was in the minority who actually found the original The Reef (which was based on a 2006 South Korea film, Shark Bait).  Maybe because even the major studios haven’t …

Luke and Lucy: The Texas Rangers
Love or hate their work, Phase 4 films is really doing all they can to establish themselves as a player in the Grade B computer animated feature film segment.  Of course you really can’t fault …
reviewed Meet the Robinsons. March 17
posted in Movie Hype
Meet the Robinsons
When it comes to Disney, Pixar has been a behind-the-scenes factor far before their official merger in 2006.  2007’s Meet the Robinsons boasts John Lasseter’s influence as the fusion …

The Jungle Bunch: Return to the Ice Floe
With the exception of Despicable Me, Universal Pictures has been pretty lax on the whole computer animated feature film phenomena, leaving the big bucks to be gathered up by rivals Disney, DreamWorks, …
reviewed The Reef. March 17
posted in Movie Hype
The Reef
A very good argument could be made that of all the genres of computer generated feature film, none are as popular as the underwater/ talking fish angle. Sure you've heard of Finding Nemo and maybe …

Life's a Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted
You may notice a pattern of terrible reviews surrounding this film and that’s a shame because Phase 4 films is really trying to become a factor in the CG animated feature film world ala Pixar and …
reviewed Star Trek: Enterprise. March 14
Star Trek: Enterprise
I should start this review by disclaiming a remarkable fact: I purchased the complete series of Star Trek Enterprise a few years back without ever having watched a single episode of the show during its …
reviewed Despicable Me. March 14

Despicable Me
You sort of have to pull for Despicable Me regardless of whether or not you actually enjoyed the film. Why? Well because Illumination Entertainment, the company responsible for this work, did the impossible …

Gnomes and Trolls
Let me start out this review with a very important disclosure: Gnomes and Trolls doesn't do anything wrong; so much as it simply doesn't bring anything memorable to the equation. I open with what …
reviewed My Friend Bernard. March 14

My Friend Bernard
As odd as the following sentence may sound- My Friend Bernard's biggest crime is simply that Pixar and DreamWorks have already shown us what clever computer animated feature films can be.   …
reviewed Back to the Sea. March 14
posted in Movie Hype
Back to the Sea
Well I suppose the first thing we should discuss is that contrary to what the DVD box-art may have you believing, Back to the Sea is in fact a 2D animated film (unlike the CG film it clearly emulates, …

Disco Worms
   You would certainly be excused if somehow Disco Worms came and went without making so much as a blip on your computer generated film radar.  Like many CG feature films available on …
reviewed Blakes 7. July 21, 2012
Blakes 7
   So thorough is my space-themed science fiction obsession that factors such as decade of release or the regional games the studios like to play with their DVD releases matter not. Such was …
reviewed Save Stargate Universe. July 21, 2012
Save Stargate Universe
   I'll come right out with it: I've typically considered the Stargate franchise a cut below the rest. Now before you immediately close out my review and vote it "unhelpful", …
reviewed Battlestar Galactica. July 21, 2012
Battlestar Galactica
Science fiction television is an interesting bag; one where all it takes a brief look at the multitude of space-centric serials and films throughout the years to realize that almost any genre of entertainment …
reviewed Gnomeo & Juliet. July 21, 2012
posted in Movie Hype
Gnomeo & Juliet
   There's a pretty strong chance that had Disney not come on board with distribution and promotion for Gnomeo and Juliet, the film wouldn't have made that big of a splash here in the …
reviewed Kung Fu Panda 2. July 21, 2012
posted in Movie Hype
Kung Fu Panda 2
   In my opinion DreamWorks has always played second fiddle to Pixar in the computer generated feature film genre.  Their rivalry has existed for nearly as long as there has been a computer …

Envizions EVO 2 DX
   It’s fairly commonly recognized that the gap between home video game consoles and the PC has been an ever-shrinking one in recent hardware generations and Alabama’s Envizions …

Mars Needs Moms
If you are at all concerned with the computer animated film industry, you probably know a little bit about Robert Zemeckis' unique approach of motion capture to achieve an animated product that looks …

Cars (Widescreen Edition) (2006)
