Bubble

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

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Like its predecessors, it feels very similar to the stories that launched this universe, unfortunately lacking their sense of magic.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

By the end, it was a little much; still, seeing the Looney Tunes doing their thing again almost made the onslaught of Warner IP worth it.

Luca

While it certainly belongs on the lower end of the studio’s filmography, it is still amusing and generally enjoyable.

Tom & Jerry

Tom and Jerry are supporting acts in their movie, popping in occasionally to prop up the dull humans with their usual brand of shenanigans.

Soul

Soul uses some of the themes Pixar has dealt with before, but plays them using different notes; creating something that feels new.

The Witches

An uneven production that has enjoyable high-points, but peaks in the middle, before building to a frustratingly dull final act.

The One and Only Ivan

It is an okay time-waster for little kids, occasionally amusing and inoffensive, if completely forgettable.

Onward

The premise of Onward makes it sound like a routine family movie. However, Pixar, as usual, spins it into something different.

The Call of the wild

The negatives will not matter to those for whom the phrase “cute movie dog” is a massive selling point. For the rest, it adds up to decent.
