Movie Review: Cute movie, familiar story, but kids don't pick up on that stuff anyway
Summary: 4 Stars

We just went to this movie at the theater and enjoyed the dramatic display of typical Disney humor. The characters are well developed, have particularly querky personalities, and have quite an adventure ahead of them. This is the story of a mismatched troop of animals living in the New York City Zoo, and particularly and Lion and his cub. The father has lived in captivity most of his life and boasts of his "wild adventures" to his son. His son discovers these adventures were actually only figments of his fathers imagination and sets out to escape the city zoo to find his roar and develop his instincts. When his father discovers the escape, a full blown zoo escape follows to bring the cub back safely. What an adventure these zoo animals have when they meet the animals of the city, and then later...the wild. But, can the animals escape the wild in time to avoid the fatal volcano on the deserted island? Our favorite character was the kowala bear, he's the mastermind of preplanning, only people don't listen to him. That is, until a pack of wollabies unknowingly mistake him for their leader. He relishes in this new position and must make a decision to live in his new life of empowerment, or rescue his friends. You'll enjoy the sense of family protection and friendship this crew will impart on you, and fall in love with these adorable characters. There's plenty of laughs, dancing and singing, even some drama for everyone's tastes. I didn't give this a 5 star because it's much like the not-so-long-ago release of Madagascar and even much the same as Over The Hedge. It is a funny movie though, kids don't pick up on that stuff anyway, so go ahead, see the movie, buy it, enjoy it.

Movie Review: What's With All the Bashing???
Summary: 4 Stars

After going to "The Wild" this weekend with my two kids, I gotta say I don't understand all the bashing of Disney and this film? Maybe "The Wild" isn't on par with "The Lion King" or "Toy Story", but it's far from being a snoozer like "Chicken Little" or "Home on the Range". There may be similar characters in both "Madagascar" and "The Wild", but each film stands on it's own, and both are pretty enjoyable. "The Wild" was a lot of fun, had some laugh out loud moments, and featured some fantastic animation. The soundtrack was fun, and while the songs may be older, who cares, they fit the spirit of the movie. Eddie Izzard's koala bear steals the film, and had my son and daughter laughing all afternoon. I am not sure what some of these other movie goers were expecting from "The Wild" and why it was such a major disappointment, but I say that if you enjoyed "Madagascar" then you will like "The Wild" too. Anything featuring the voices of Keifer Sutherland and William Shatner is worth taking a look at.

Movie Review: My Son Liked it...
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes this is kinda like Madagascar, however ALMOST every movie has another movie that is similar eg. Finding Nemo and Sharktale. Or it's a remake of an original, let's face it there are only so many ways you can make a movie that will please a wide varity of people. This movie was great because it is set in New York City and the detail is amazing. I bought this movie just before I went on a 4 days business trip to the "city" while I left my children at home with their Nana. I wached it with my son before I left and I could show him where I was going. There was a major scene where the animals are in time square and it looks just like the real thing, I was staying very close to Time Square so in a way it helped my son to understand where I was going. So who cares if it's "similar" to another movie it's still cute and worth a watch.
