Movies and Televison #2023

A prequel origin story of Willy Wonka sounds like a bad idea. Still, when you bring in the beloved director of the first two Paddington films, this film suddenly becomes a wondrous experience with charm and visual splendor galore, plus some excellent musical numbers.

Now, it is time to discover a Spain-based animated feature directed by Pablo Berger, Robot Dreams. Although it appears to be a simple slice-of-life story, there is much more to this adventure than being charming and cute. Come with me to discover a movie I regard as one of the best-animated features of 2023.

Get ready for a video game adaptation that is surprisingly good as Super Mario comes back to the big screen with a fresh coat of paint and created by the animation team at Illumination, Home of the Despicable Me Minions

Here we go again. The PAW Patrol gang is back in a superpowered adventure. It has boatloads of cuteness and charm and some surprisingly decent superhero action, making for a movie that was way more fun than I would have given it credit for.

A story about a young boy forming a bond with an elephant who appeared from thin air by a magician is a story that many people have forgotten about. Is it for good reason? or is there something more to this film than meets the eye?

Our Heroes in a half shell are back on the big screen with some great voice talent and a fresh coat of paint. This Spider-verse inspired visuals and storytelling is great treat for fans of the iconic ninja team and it may also be just be one of the best movies that Nickelodeon has ever made.
