Transformers One
While it certainly didn’t reignite my childhood passion for this property, it is a reasonably enjoyable watch.

Inside Out 2
The classic era of Pixar, where everything they made was gold, is probably gone for good. However, they still make solid entertainment.

The Boy and the Heron
It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes
Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
This is a clear attempt at a new franchise and is fun enough that it just might succeed.

Elemental
It is certainly not a terrible experience. Still, it is hard to recommend it when Pixar has done so much better, so many times.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
While it obviously doesn’t have the novelty of the original, it builds on its gorgeous world in clever and creative ways.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Though thematically darker than the famous Disney version, it is an inspiring family adventure that del Toro has certainly made his own.

Bubble
The resulting story is a strange mix of fantasy/action/romance, with good action and spectacular visuals that cover for its flaws.
