RealZeroDue to my sudden Gummi Bear idea I didn't manage to watch 10 movies, but at least 3! 😁
"#Ainbo - Spirit of the Amazon"
Visually really nice, but sadly not a good movie. It's too "all over the place" with few interesting characters that tries to be too many Disney movies at once and thus strangely mixes direction.

The other two were "#Beetlejuice" and the modern sequel "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice". I already knew, and liked, the first one, but wanted to rewatch it before watching the 2nd.
I like both of them, I think the sequel does a quite nice job and I'm happy it still uses mostly practical effects and used puppets (mostly) look even nicer. Once again much respect to costume, makeup and puppet designers!

A ★★½ review of Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon (2021)
Ainbo is a visually really nice movie with lovely depictions of nature and really nice animations. Sadly, writing and pacing are, how to say? "All over the place?" I have to agree with other reviews that say it's a mix of several Disney movies without hitting the spirit of any of them. The main story feels like a mix of Moana and Pocahontas: A young girl needs to safe her village from a dark curse that kills humans and fishes alike, assisted by her animal spirit guardians. The spirit guardians are two friendly animals that ewoke some feelings of Lion
