The trailer is all about Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. Kids will not understand the jokes, and adults will have difficulty laughing. The trailer even has expletive words and tons of farting.
DreamWorks “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” Trailers and Poster
Produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Chris Miller, the magical story of Puss in Boots continues with the feline crusader, played by Antonio Banderas, trying to restore his nine lives after using up eight.
According to the DreamWorks fandom page, the original title was Puss in Boots: Nine Lives and Forty Thieves, and it’s now Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The change most likely occurred because the story focuses on Puss getting his last wish to regain the eight lives he spent swashbuckling through fairytale land.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” Zooms Once Again
Directed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 starts out in Green Hills. Sonic, played by BE Schwartz, wants to prove that he truly is a hero. His abilities come face to face when Dr. Robotnik, played by Jim Carrey, returns with a new partner, Knuckles, played by Idris Elba.
The two evil dudes are in search of a mystical emerald. The gem has the power to destroy civilizations.
Sonic and his sidekick, Tails, played by Colleen O’Shaughnessey, embark on a global adventure to locate the emerald before it falls in the two scoundrels’ hands.
“Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts”
How often have you wanted to return to Hogwarts and spend time with Harry, Hermione, Ron and the other delightful characters written beautifully by J. K. Rowling?
In 2011, before the release of the last Harry Potter movie, YouGov America reported that 18 percent of those surveyed had read all the Harry Potter books. And 31 percent had read at least one book.
The story of Harry Potter is over with the disintegration of Voldemort in the last book and movie. We can still appreciate the seven books and eight movies by re-reading and re-watching the telling of a fantastic story.
Perhaps that is why HBOMax brings us Harry Potter’s 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts on New Year’s Day. Viewers watch as actors reminisce about working on one of the world’s finest movie franchises.

Animated “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” Streams on Disney+
Directed by Swinton O. Scott III, Diary of a Wimpy Kid delivers an animated movie filled with similar situations described in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling books. In this 56-minute movie, Greg Heffley, voiced by Brady Noon, enters middle school and potentially explosive problems and hazards to friendships.
Personified as a digital, bulbous boy, Heffley appears to stumble through misadventures with his buddy, Rowley, voiced by Ethan William Childress. Together they ride out the dreadful mishaps of trying to social fit as a middle schooler. As seen in the trailer, the importance of saying “hang out” instead of “come over and play.” Remember not to go near or touch the revolting piece of swiss cheese in the playground.
Whether they’ve read the books, kids will enjoy the movie, and perhaps encourage them to pick up one of Kinny’s books to read since the film is less than an hour. Kids might want to read about more of Heffley’s mishaps.
Thank you, New York Times information about the movie.
“Lightyear” Disney and Pixar Go Beyond Infinity
Directed by Angus MacLane, Lightyear is part of the Toy Story series. Chris Evans voices Buss Lightyear. The franchise’s popularity sparks a space ranger to the front as the cadet goes to infinity and… beyond. China’s talented Mu Le’en also stars.
I saw a post on Facebook, so it might not be accurate. That said, the story is about the hero, Lightyear. Thus, the Lightyear toy became a product.

She never expected to wake up to find a giant ten-foot hound in her tiny New York City apartment. While her single mom, played by Sienna Guillory, is a way for a business, Emily and her fun but impulsive uncle Casey, played by Jack Whitehall, set out on an adventure.
Their experiences will keep kids of all ages on the edge of their seats. These three make one heck of an incident in New York City.
