Directed by Ari Sandel, kids are going to have a tree on Halloween. Goosebumps comes alive once again in a brand-new comedy adventure based on R.L. Stine’s 400-million-selling series of books.
The screenplay is by Rob Lieber who also wrote Alexander the Terrible and Peter Rabbit.
The cast includes Wendi McLendon-Covey, Madison Iseman, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Caleel Harris, Chris Parnell, and Ken Jeong.
The second poster colors are much better. The lettering is on the bottom of the poster. Otherwise, both posters are almost similar.
Directed by Dylan Brown, Wonder Park tells the story of June, voiced by Brianna Denski, who discovers a magical amusement park. The animated tale follows June running in the woods. She is coming home when she stumbles across an old roller coaster car.
She sits in one of the roller coaster cars, and magically she finds herself in Wonderland, an amusement park she had created in her mind and put aside.
Her rides and characters are brought to life but are falling into disarray without her. Now, with the help of her fun and lovable park characters, June will have to put the wonder back in Wonderland before it is lost forever.
Brown worked on several Pixar movies as supervising animator. Wonder Park appears to be his first major movie. Three writers write the screenplay. It looks like Josh Appelbaum, and André Nemec gets the most credit.
Other voices in the movie are Jennifer Garner, Matthew Broderick, John Oliver, Mila Kunis, Kenan Thompson, Ken Jeong, and Norbert Leo Butz.
The second trailer tells us more about the story. The CGI is dazzling.
The movie trailer shows the wonder of the amusement park.
The third trailer tells us more about the story behind the animated movie. The CGI is excellent with the bright colors and synthesized energy.
The commercial for the Super Bowl tells us the release date. We can see that it is a kid’s movie and a lot of fun with crazy animals.
Directed by Tim Burton, live-action Dumbo looks like one of the best movies for the whole family this year. I am sure the box office will be pleased. The screenplay is by Ehren Kruger, who wrote all those Transformer movies. I find that ironic because Dumbo is nothing like a Transformer.
I am glad the original theme song is part of the live-action movie. The cartoon movie is a classic with an extraordinary message about overcoming your handicap and succeeding. During the movie trailer, I never saw the mouse. But Pink Elephants on Parade is in the movie. The tiny clip in the trailer looks like the show will be fun to watch.
The movie stars Eva Green, Colin Farrell, and Michael Keaton. I am not sure who the kid actors are, but I look forward to learning more about them.
I wonder if the blackbirds will be in the movie as well. I love that scene, even though it doesn’t fit in with the PC standards of today. They are so funny with lines like, “I’ve seen a housefly. I’ve seen a horsefly. But, I have never seen an elephant fly.”
The second trailer is even better. Burton created a movie for kids to watch. By watching the second trailer, it appears the story becomes somewhat altered. A dad and other adults were not in the original Disney version. But, the adults seem to have a purpose in the movie, which makes it okay. The theme song is the same.
With that, there is a trailer. My YouTube account has a note that says it’s blocked worldwide. It might not play for you. I am sorry, but I had to write about this movie because Dumbo is one of my favorite Disney movies.
Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are available for those who want to watch the movie again or haven’t seen it yet. The film is excellent for kids who want to see it repeatedly.
The featurette “Soaring to New Heights” offers quite a bit of information about the remake of Dumbo. I thought I saw a mouse in this video, and I am curious if the mouse plays an essential role in this new version. I sense that Danny Devito’s character fills that part of the story where the mouse encourages Dumbo to fly or the kids do.
Watching Tim Burton talk about Dumbo is impressive. He is so animated and a complete genius. Burton almost says something about working with Disney and stops. I wonder what he wanted to say about Disney.
The following movie clips show Dumbo flying, sinister DeVito and Keaton, and the kids, Farrell and Green.
The interview with Farrell shows him upbeat and excited about the movie and working with Burton.
Green talks about how she overcame the fear of heights to play the flying traipse artist. She talks about what it is like working with Burton and Keaton.
Michael Keaton tells it like it is in this interview with spoilers.
The featurette is magical, and I can’t wait to see the movie.
Dumbo is a magical story about a unique elephant who loses his mother. He must overcome the obstacles in life to be with his mother and succeed as himself. The next featurette expresses the brilliance of Burton and his magical world.
The next featurette arrives several days before the movie’s release in the US with all the interviews and footage combined.
Based on the books by Cressida Cowell, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is written and directed by Dean DeBlois. The story follows that began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon. Some may call this franchise an epic trilogy. The studio released Kit Harington’s audition tape. Scroll down and take a look at what he went through to get the role.
The third installment arrives when Hiccup and Toothless will finally discover their true destinies. The village chief as ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, and the dragon as leader of his own kind. As both ascend, the darkest threat they’ve yet faced—as well as the appearance of a female Night Fury. They will come to learn more about their relationship.
Months went by without any movie clips or trailers. Now, there is a trailer to share. I hope the wait is worth it. The trailer plays a song and it is obviously a love story happens.
The movie trailer looks like the movie is going to be a lot of fun for kids of all ages.
The behind-the-scenes clip shows the audition process Kit Harington went through to get the coveted role of Eret. All kidding aside, the featurette is cute and funny. Harington is not bad looking either.
The featurette is more of a promotional or sizzle reel than anything, but it tells us more about the movie. It is obvious kids are going to love it.
Toothless courtship with Light Fury is cute and endearing. The kids are going to love this movie. Producer Brad Lewis explains the character’s relationships in the movie so well that I decided to post it for you to see.
I added the Jay Baruchel interview because he offers insight into what is happening with Hiccup and Toothless.
The bonus features comes with an alternative beginning, deleted scenes, behind the scenes viewing of actors recording their voices, and a Facebook app for Toothless and Little Fury.
The bonus features include two shorts. Bilby takes place in Australia where Bilby takes care of a little bird. Bird Karma is about a long-legged bird who just can’t have enough of anything.
Directed by Travis Knight, BumbleBee takes place in 1987. The story introduces BumbleBee, voiced by Martin Short, who finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town.
Along comes, Charlie, played by Hailee Steinfeld, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, befriends BumbleBee, battle-scarred and broken.
The following movie clips show the relationship between Charlie and BumbleBee. The relationship is endearing, and yet, on the edge because of the overall conflict, they will face soon.
The movie clip shows two transformers lying to John Cena’s character about Bumble Bee. It looks like the story is about the transformers, who are bad or evil, are trying to trick the people of Earth into helping them destroy Bumble Bee.
The next featurette tells the origin of Bumble Bee. This is a period piece and refers to a time in history. I believe John Cena plays a bad guy.
The featurette outlines Knight’s animation experience and how he develops a story into a movie.
This featurette is about the transformers triple changing, which means transformer, car, and spaceship. It is pretty cool to watch in this featurette and the top movie clip shows Agent Burns conversing with them about BumbleBee.
The second poster makes the movie more inviting because is not so serious or aloof as the first poster.
The second trailer shows what the kids and kids at heart get to see, which is transformers fighting to save the planet. This is so cool to watch because it is a girl who is befriending BumbleBee.
The movie trailer clearly has Knight’s touch. He’s added a little soul to the story. Having a female play the protagonist helps.
Co-directed by Phil Johnston and Rich Moore, six years after the events of “Wreck-It Ralph,” Ralph and Vanellope, now friends, discover a wi-fi router in their arcade, leading them into a new adventure.
Kids will understand the storyline better than some parents. No matter how you understand the storyline, it is still pretty silly.
The movie is getting sillier but the kids will love it. The movie clip is colorful and fun to watch. Kids are going to love this movie.
I watched several interviews with the voice actors, and they are so excited about this movie. It took many years in the making of it. They are so happy to see the release finally here. The movie clip shows some of the excitement and adventure the kids get to experience.
Here are two movie clips showing Ralph and his friend inside the Internet where the meet KnowsMore. The other clip shows Ralph and his friends are actually inside the Internet.
The two movie trailers confirm how silly story, but kids will love it.
It is very cool that Ralph Breaks the Internet was nominated for a Golden Globe. It is now available on Blu-ray/DVD and streaming platforms. Kids are engaged in the storyline, and I am sure more stories about Ralph and Vanellope will continue. Having the Disney Princes in the movie is a clever idea as well. I hope Disney continues to offer similar fun and oddball addtions.
Directed by Oliver Daly, A.X.L. is about a teenage boy, named Miles, played by Alex Neustaedter. He champions as a motocross rider.
While riding his motocross bike he stumbles on a military robotic dog called A.X.L. They meet in a junkyard where A. X.L. is broken down and needs repairs. Miles pushes some of the robotic dog’s buttons and helps him function better. They become fast friends.
The story has evil masterminds that are experimenting with the robotic dog and the teenage boy. Miles has a pretty girlfriend named Sara, played by Becky G.
Soon the military wants A.X.L. back. Miles notices more and more how A.X.L. is becoming more of a sentient dog and doesn’t want to be with the military as a killing machine.
Billed as a science fiction and family movie, kids might want to see the movie and overlook some of the corny stuff that goes with family movies.
“When I conceived of the story,” Daly recalls, “I https://youtu.be/UE1zB4-LUfEwas thinking about early sci-fi monster movies, like Frankenstein and The Island of Lost Souls, where a creature is created by a scientist as a power grab, or by the military as a way to control other people. Those films show us that humans are sometimes the real monsters, and the monster is just a reflection of our own fears and greed.”
The movie clips show us more of the mechanical dog and the budding relationship between all three characters.
The movie trailer tells us about the movie and the story.
Coming from the same studio, Early Man is just as fun as their earlier movies. This time it takes place during the prehistoric era: a caveman named Dug and his ultra-goofy friends. Together challenge the invaders to a game of soccer. If they win, they get back their home.
This is truly a kid’s movie because it is about innocence and idiots. The claymation is pure art and makes the movie fun to watch. The story took place at the dawn of time when prehistoric creatures roamed the Earth; Early Man tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug, voiced by Eddie Redmayne, and his best friend, Hognob, as they unite their tribe against a mighty enemy. The enemy is Lord Nooth, expressed by Tom Hiddleston. He rules a Bronze Age City and has taken them home.
Directed by Eli Roth, The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a magical adventure. The movie follows a spine-tingling tale of 10-year-old Lewis, played by Owen Vaccaro.
Eli Roth credits pretty much rest on quite a few television series and some so-so horror movies.
You’ll recognize Vaccaro as the funny and spunky kid in Daddy’s Home movies.
Based on the children’s book written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey, Lewis goes to live with his uncle in a creaky old house with a mysterious tick-tocking heart. But his new town’s sleepy façade jolts to life with a secret world of warlocks and witches when Lewis accidentally awakens the dead.
The second poster shows all the characters with the imagery spellbinding.
The movie also stars Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Kyle MacLachlan, Colleen Camp, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Vanessa Anne Williams, and Sunny Suljic.
The two movie clips so how the Lewis relates to the house and his uncle as well as his uncle’s neighbor. I have more clips available but two are block and one you can follow by clicking on the trailer at the each of either clip.
The second trailer is currently blocked worldwide, but hopefully, that is only temporary. The movie trailer is quite good and explains the whole story, which is helpful if you haven’t read the book.
Directed by John Stevenson, Sherlock Gnomes is all too silly when Gnomeo, voiced by James McAvoy, and Juliet, voiced by Emily Blunt, arrive in the city with their friends and family. The major concern is establishing their new garden so it is ready by spring.
They soon discover that someone is kidnapping garden gnomes all over London. One day, Gnomeo and Juliet return home and find that everyone in their garden is missing. So, they hook up with Sherlock Gnomes, voiced by Johnny Depp, who is the famous detective and sworn protector of London’s garden gnomes.
He arrives with his sidekick Watson, voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor, to investigate the case. The movie should be a fun adventure for the kids as they solve the case of the missing gnomes while exploring an undiscovered side of the city.
Other talented voice actors include Mary J. Blige as Irene, Sherlock’s former girlfriend. Michael Caine, as Lord Redbrick, the leader of the red gnomes, Juliet’s father, Maggie Smith as Lady Bluebury, the leader of the blue gnomes and Gnomeo’s mother, and Julie Walters as Ms. Montague.
Sherlock Gnomes is the sequel to the popular Gnomeo & Juliet, which grossed $194 million at the box office worldwide.
Directed by Ari Sandel, kids are going to have a tree on Halloween. Goosebumps comes alive once again in a brand-new comedy adventure based on R.L. Stine’s 400-million-selling series of books.
