"Hotel Transylvania: Transformania" (2022) Review: A Monstrous Monstrosity
An animated franchise that has spanned a decade, four films, a TV series, and three short films, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is the last film of the franchise and the first to skip a theatrical release. The film is a mess that seems to forget what made the other films somewhat entertaining.
Onward Review: Weekend at Wilden's - Bounding Into Comics
Onward isn’t a bad animated film since it’s fairly cute and charming and entertaining for all ages, but it’s lacking that emotional wallop that Up provided in its dialogue-absent and heartbreaking opening or what WALL-E accomplished simply by saying, “WALL-E,” and, “EVE.”
Frozen II Review: Taming of the Ocean Horse - Bounding Into Comics
Frozen II has this half-hearted concept that feels like a cheap alteration to the likes of Captain Planet, The Fifth Element, and Princess Mononoke.

The third film in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise gives new depth and meaning to the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless, but isn't nearly as good overall as its superior predecessor.
'The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part' (2019) Review
