How to Train Your Dragon

Storyline

Long ago up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species.

Review

I watched How to Train Your Dragon about 5 times now, and it never gets boring. It actually keeps on getting better and better with with more and more views. This is a huge accomplishment for DreamWorks Animation, it might actually be its Best Animated Feauture it yet. It is an amazing experience to watch this film in Cinema. The 3D is amazing and at times Breathtaking. I may of had the most fun that I've ever had in Cinema watching How to Train Your Dragon.
The script is really good and is has a lot of dramatic depth. This movie is for everyone. Adults and Kids will enjoy it equally and will love it at the end. This movie will probably become a series like Shrek. But I'm hoping this film doesn't get bad sequels like Shrek 3 and Shrek Forever After. Anyways this film will be most recognized for its beautiful animation.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

Storyline

Soren, a young half-owls, St. Aggie is ostensibly an orphanage, and always brainwashed soldier is kidnapped by owls get the owl. Sex talk with my dad to help the fight against the evil of the ruler of the royal army, she made ​​a wise owl and his new friends escape the island of Ga'Hoole. Nemo miracle.

Review

Based on a series of books written by Kathryn Lasky, this mythological story centers on dreamer Soren (Jim Sturgess), a young owl enamored with stories of "The Guardians", a clan of warrior owls who hail from the Tree of Ga'Hoole, and protect the weak from an evil army called the Pure Ones. When Soren and his brother, Kludd (Ryan Kwanten), are kidnapped by these Pure Ones, the stories become reality. Soren escapes and hunts for the Guardians to save the owl kingdom from the Pure Ones, while Kludd slowly becomes one.

Legend of the Guardians is a milestone for animation and a 3D visual masterpiece. Under the direction of Snyder, Australian company Animal Logic (Creators of "Happy Feet" & special FX for "The Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings") have achieved something incredibly remarkable. The interaction of air and digital feathers work in a harmony that makes Avatar look like an old computer game. The landscapes are absolutely breathtaking, Monsoons are shimmering and talons glistening, this brings out the best in Snyder's heavily artistic directing style, and has adorned this movie with graceful battle scenes, beautifully blended with his signature slow motion shots at the perfect moments.

With its comparisons to films like "The Secret of NIMH", "Watership Down", "The Dark Crystal", with clear shades of "Star Wars", Guardians is not your run-of-the-mill animated movie with a fart joke every 10 seconds. The movie takes on a much more serious disposition which fits perfectly with its thematic flow. It is important to note, the film deals with issues such as courage, unity, loyalty, faith, sacrifice and betrayal tackled by Snyder with understated maturity. Though the story moves at a fairly quick pace, you will be immersed in what develops, as the writers did well to implement essentials to the storyline with comprehensible dialogue.

With that being said, Guardians is an engaging and relatively intense movie from start to finish. Thus, successfully separating our mindset of "Animated" and "Kid Friendly" being synonymous with each other. It is inspirational, breathtaking, humorous and educational with all the essentials of an all in all great story and movie. The kids and adults will both learn, while at the same time be visually enraptured by the animation's beauty. Don't be remotely surprised if you see sequels as it certainly has the legs to do so...or should I say wings.

Finding Nemo

Storyline 

He went on the open sea to the Great Barrier Reef, a Clownfish named Marlin lives of the sea, risk losing much constant despite the warnings of his father, his son Nemo. Nemo is abducted on a ship in Sydney, and will offset the dentist will be sent. Nimmo, companies trying to get out, while Merlin, Merlin, named Dolly fish, memory loss, pain, take the short term at the Blue Tang. Colleagues in Sydney Harbour is located in a dental office, to save Nemo, these sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, and various dangerous sea creatures to move large distances occurs. That's 102 in Sydney, while the history of the gorge dentist way back to Nemo and other sea animals that their lives freely.

Reveiw

I am a computer animation this man, and the story is entirely a good thing to say. Comes together, but here they are rarely, if you listen to something that people who have drowned surprised. It is a miracle of Nemo.
The story is about Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould), a young clownfish who is fed up with his dad Marlin's (Albert Brooks) excessive paranoia over him. He swims to a place where his dad forbids him and ends up being captured by a scuba diver. He is then placed in a fish tank in a dental clinic somewhere along the harbors of Sydney. Thus the quest of Marlin, along with Dory (a hilarious forgetful blue tang voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) to find Nemo before it's too late.
The story is a simple one but where the film more than makes up is on the overwhelming sense of detail and rich, lavish colors and textures as if we aren't really watching an animated film at all. Scenes such as Marlin bringing Nemo to school while swimming through corals and anemones, to the aquarium where Nemo was taken to, are nothing short of breathtaking, and undoubtedbly one of the most outstanding animation ever to hit the screen.
The world of "Finding Nemo" is simply alive with lovable creatures swimming about their daily lives under the ocean, darting across the screen in playful manners. The viewer almost literally dives into another world for nearly two hours and one cannot help but be completely captivated.
The music and screenplay also blend very well with the visual feast that it produces such a high quality movie. From its basic storyline, to the father-and-son relationship theme, to the wonderful underwater world throughout, this is really an adventure through an ocean of stunning visuals and storytelling.

Tangled

Storyline

Received from the flowers of the magic power of healing the child's mother is Princess Gothel The gel open from the palace in the dead of night kidnapped. Mother's Day flowers Gothel HP, at present, Rapunzel is a young blonde to stay and grow in knowledge, which was closed from the hidden tower, Rapunzel necessary. She said that Rapunzel's hair today's youth to a length of 70 feet to grow. Rapunzel beautiful party that all her life and she is a curiosity of the outside world. One day he takes Flynn intensity scale pilot of the tower, Rapunzel trapped. Floating Light Rapunzel, states in his birthday each year to serve since the move to a place where their leader comes to an agreement with the charming thief. Rapunzel's most exciting and epic journey of your life is what you have.


Review

The film's story is simple. Rapunzel, the healing that you have the power to keep the young people, the princess, her hair cut, but once it has lost all power. Rapunzel tower, but when her little girl's women, not just for her, was kidnapped in order to keep your head. Rapunzel she thought that the kidnappers are actually growing and why his mother his "mother" of the world need to identify the problem, so this has been blocked. I will tell you more information about the film, I will not be destroyed. It is an escape. Simply put, the fairy-tale land.
I was kind of saddened that Disney has succumbed to making Princess movies using CGI, but watching this movie I realize that some scenes wouldn't have the power it had, if it were in 2D. The lantern lighting scene, for example, was amazing. It wouldn't have been the same in 2D. The music, was perfect. Enough musical number to keep Disney fans more than satisfied and not enough to where it's overkill. The songs were heartfelt and meaningful, they all served a purpose, it wasn't just a nameless song thrown into the movie. The voice acting, by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi were amazing. I was a little sketchy about Mandy. I'm a long time fan, but I wasn't sure if she had the right voice to be a Disney Princess. She gave Rapunzel so much life, and innocence, I couldn't think of any other actress who could play her better. Zachary gave Flynn life, and humor, and made him a very likable character. However, the two characters that stole the show were Pascal, the chameleon, and Maximus, the horse. Although these supporting characters have no speaking lines, through actions and emotions, you know exactly what they want to say, and the message comes in loud and clear.
This movie has enough action and comedy to keep boys happy and enough emotion, romance and drama to keep the girls happy. There are a few scenes that made me tear a little, well maybe more than a little. Some scenes have so much emotion and depth that it tugs at your heartstrings, and gives you goosebumps, especially the lantern scenes. Disney is testing the waters of their film making with this one. There were many alcohol references and even references about being drunk. There's violence, people getting stabbed, and yes, even blood. Which you never see is Disney movies.
Overall, I highly recommend this movie, to everyone. Anyone could enjoy this movie. It's very hard not to like it. With theater prices so high, I suggest you don't spend 10 dollars to watch Cher and Christina, but watch 'Tangled' instead. They don't make movies like this anymore. It's much better than last year's 'Princess and the Frog'. Rapunzel is now in the line-up of classic Disney princess. I cannot stress how amazing this film is. Go out and see it.

Rango

Storyline

Rango is a pet chameleon always looking for action and adventure, but the wrong class, he directs and acts in it. After a car accident, ending in an old western town called earth. What this city needs is the most water, but they also needed a hero and a sheriff. Range thirst records directly to the role of the selfish and pledged to take the case of water shortage.

Review

This is a brief summary of how I was surprised that Nickelodeon is now refer to some sexual themes: competition included a number of more nuanced than is usually expected, the animated adventure film from Nickelodeon. These areas include the language of the (sports lines like "You are a child," "What the hell" and "Gut I can kill a man?"), Violence (a lot of wonderful and death), sexual problems (referring to women as "active" is a joke that mammogram), and drawing the film's death (which is presumably the position of the character's death, and one point, the death of parody on the gallows). This means that you will probably be content with equal force to other animated films as the Incredibles, but it is only to show that Nickelodeon is ready to experiment with bolder type of movies, including, Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean. This disclaimer.

The classification of a film, regardless of the content as all theater is a good time. High debt is a classic western (Good, Bad and Ugly), and comedies from the West (three friends) invents a formula involving the movie past the fun and creative. Classification is a chameleon you want to secure their own identity, and suddenly got into the life of the Far West, and the sheriff decides to take over the functions of the city's problems. If gunslingin "The enemy comes, the problems begin ...

In any case, after the film's animation. The quality and condition of the animals and the landscape of the area, and it never ceases to amaze. By far this is the greatest strength and support of the film, a beautiful vision, a series of jokes. As I said, humor is sometimes a little difficult for your target audience (there are times adults will no doubt have many children, instead of laughing), but most of all enjoy theater, comedy points. Votes cast for this course interesting and fun, it gives a unique quality of each animal sign. Finally, the report of Hans Zimmer once again a wonderful and exciting (the impact of his work with the pirates, and Sherlock Holmes is easy to understand, but the Mexican Twist).

In general, the classification of a beautiful and exciting Western adventure is over, you do not have to see! If you do not know you that the mood and visual effects that are a pleasure trip unforgettable. 08/10

However, lightning strikes at the entrance and the trio was caught in a cave. Looking for a way out and fell into the hole, the discovery of a lost world in the center of the earth.

Review

Brendan Fraser plays a scientist and professor, the school's core, magma and seismic changes in the earth, and the desire to live outside the research laboratory.
He played a style of adventure film, because I was in the movie Mother, and children with brothers Sean link to find time for family, some secrets of his father's notes reveal seans on the way to the country to find the missing.
They describe and record their travels take them to Iceland, where you have members of the mountain trilogy, which dilute the energy and the smiles on the ice and compete with men can be beat.
CGI and graphics can be more effective in 3D, so I let it go, but the story of fun and interaction between the characters grow with each adventure they face.
