The Brave Little Toaster (1987)

Heartwarming, Cute, Funny, and Epic

[9/10 · 6 November 2020]

For over the past few years until 2015, I was interested in this movie, but sadly hadn't watched it back then until towards the end of 2015. That is when I finally got my chance to watch it for the first time! It is such a very delightful and wonderful film! I love it so much!

The characters are great, such as the courageous Toaster, the timid Blanky, the easily impressed but slightly irascible Lampy, the hilarious Radio (voice of Jon Lovitz), and even the cranky vacuum Kirby. When I was 14 that year, months after I watched its sequels first, I knew it would be great and extreme entertainment. I always thought the idea of having five dated appliances as the protagonists was a great idea. The themes of courage, loyalty, friendship, and even abandonment are so interesting. The musical numbers are very catchy, and the humor is funny. You can tell that the same writers later work on Toy Story. The flower scene was sure to make me cry. David Newman's score was amazing, and it fit the mood for the movie.

In a summer cabin, five appliances (like I mentioned before) live: Toaster, Blanky, Lampy, Radio, and Kirby. They used to see their master all-summer whenever he visited on vacation, but haven't seen him in a while. They begin to wonder whether he's coming back or they're getting abandoned. When someone sells the cottage, Toaster then decides to be the leader for his/her journey to find the master. When Kirby reluctantly accepts, the gang goes all the way from the country to the city, exactly where Rob is. Along their way, they encounter dangerous situations!

The animation looks very nice, the voice actors did a perfect job, and the movie got even more popular thanks to its own home video release since 1991. No doubt that the story is heartwarming and fun, even if sometimes there are pretty scary moments for a G-rated movie like this one. Either way, there is no way I am ever going to miss every second of this great movie. It's pretty enjoyable, and it is great entertainment for kids and adults alike, just like my favorite shows, Phineas and Ferb and SpongeBob SquarePants! If you like the direct to video sequels, you can watch them. And you can watch this one too.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999– )

Really good show!

[9/10 · 2 June 2020]

You know something? SpongeBob is in fact the greatest Nicktoon ever! It's funny, it's awesome, and it is (most of the time) creative! The characters are great, the voice acting is really good, the episodes are fun to watch (except for seasons 6-8, even though there are a handful of good episodes on those seasons), and the animation is incredible! I've been watching this since, maybe, 2010. I find it hilarious, and a fun show for every age. The main character, SpongeBob, is funny, friendly, and incredibly optimistic, and enjoys his job at the Krusty Krab. Patrick may be a foolish starfish often, but that does not mean he is not likable. He and SpongeBob have a great friendship. Their neighbor is the grouchy octopus (or should I say "hexapus") Squidward. He can be easily relatable often, and he is something like me: we both like music and art, but there is only one difference between both of us: I am calmer than him. The money-loving crab, Mr. Krabs, May be greedy but he is not all that heartless, unlike his archenemy Plankton, who happens to be the bad guy of the show. I also really like Sandy. She is a very strong and great squirrel character who grew tired of life above water and decided to move to Bikini Bottom, and she is one of my favorite TV girls (next to Isabella from Phineas and Ferb). I am quite amazed with the Internet memes it got, and it's another shot at the show's popularity. I always thought the story of a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea was very interesting, and I still do. The show teaches us lessons, gives us laughs, and brings us to tears. I like SpongeBob, even though some get frustrated by him. I like the writing in most of the episodes, but a handful of them can be weird and awful. But still, great show by the way, and it's as good as Phineas and Ferb, which is my favorite show and even better than this already great show.

Sausage Party (2016)

What a dumb mess!

[1/10 · 2 June 2020]

I mean, it is such an inappropriate movie that kids would never wanna go see on my watch! It wasted the talents of Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Nick Kroll, Seth MacFarlane, Paul Rudd, and even Bill Flipping Hader! The animation is uncanny, I think, and the story is very weak. The concept is so idiotic, considering it was an animated movie that kids cannot watch that is meant for adults! The characters are annoying, hateable, and horrible! The setups are so messy and mediocre for its concepts and scenes, and the language and adult s*x are so inappropriate. For starters, I would rather watch Phineas and Ferb, SpongeBob, and VeggieTales (which is way better to look at than this useless, pathetic, annoying pile of junk they call a movie about food)! The world building is very stupid! Again, this is one of the WORST movies to ever be released in such a strong year for animated movies! Again, Frank and Brenda are terrible protagonists, and the voice acting is obviously wasted (as mentioned earlier). Also, the writing is so dumb. I am gonna bang my head from how unfunny this movie is.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999– )

Nick at it's best!

[9/10 · 21 May 2020]

Phineas and Ferb is a completely awesome show, and you'll enjoy this one too, because this show is pretty good as well. The show is about an optimistic and bright sea sponge who goes by the name of SpongeBob SquarePants. It deserves the best of Nickelodeon, and it's Nick at its best too. The animation is way beyond impressive, and the humor is, without a doubt, hilarious. The characters are great, especially SpongeBob himself, his best starfish friend Patrick Star, the tough and intelligent squirrel, Sandy Cheeks, the cynical and grouchy octopus neighbor Squidward Tentacles, and the money-loving and sometimes goodhearted crab Mr. Krabs. It has a very

The Nuttiest Nutcracker (1999 Video)

Who cares?!

[8/10 · 10 December 2019]

I always wanted to check out this movie as a kid.

You see? I like the animation as it is well-rendered to me, the characters are likable, the humor is funny, the voice acting is great, and the songs are so good. Frankly, though, the animation can be laughably weird at times. Still, I gotta check this movie out, and I love it so far!

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

Hilarious, Smart, and Heartwarming

[9/10 · 13 July 2019]

It has a creative plot of monsters scaring children so that they can power their city and how they work in an office environment. The characters, animation, and said plot are great. My favorite characters are Mike, Sulley, Celia, and Boo. The humor is hilarious, the title sequence looks neat, Billy and John are great together, Boo is cute, the plot twist where Waternoose was the one behind Randall's schemes was really surprising, and the music by Randy Newman was excellent!

There are some emotional scenes, like when Sulley scares Boo, and when they have to part ways. I know Randall is a funny villain and all, but he is a jerk in my opinion. Anyway, the song "If I Didn't Have You" was amazing, and there's more to laughs than scariness, which makes this a really fun movie. 9.5/10

Chicken Run (2000)

Egg-cellent Movie!

[9/10 · 26 June 2019]

The animation is great, the humor "cracks" me up, the plot is "egg"cellent, and the characters did a "shell" of a lot of character development.

Toy Story 4 (2019)

Worth the 9-Year Wait!

[10/10 · 16 June 2019]

This movie will delight every Toy Story fan with the humor, heart, characters, and music.

Despicable Me (2010)

Funny, greatly-animated, and amazingly-written!

[9/10 · 14 June 2019]

Steve Carell did great as the voice as Gru, the girls - especially Agnes - are so adorable, the Minions are so hilarious, the concept is creative, the script is amazingly-written, the action is awesome, the humor is funny, and the characters are great.

Finding Dory (2016)

"Fin"-tastic Sequel! (Pun-intended)

[9/10 · 12 June 2019]

For a sequel, this movie is actually really good. The voice acting is still great, the animation is more impressive than ever before, Dory's character development has increased, and the humor is still hilarious. We get to see Nemo, Marlin, Dory, the Tank Gang (even while their roles are rather small), and the sea turtles once again after such a long time. Not only that, but we were also introduced to new characters, such as Hank the cranky but good-hearted octopus, Destiny the nearsighted whale shark, Bailey the beluga whale with the inability to echolocate because of his big head until the big climax, the sea lions, Becky the offbeat, kooky loon, and of course Dory's parents.

There are also hilarious moments, like Hank hijacking the van, a fish suddenly sneezing after saying "I feel fantastic!", that running gag where Fluke and Rudder shout "OFF! OFF! OFF!", Destiny and Bailey making puns out of each other's names, and the entire touch pool scene.

It's been 13 years since the original movie was released and I waited so patiently for it, and I gotta admit that it was worth it. Dory's backstory was really emotional, and it was great for those who have remembered or forgotten something, and it plays like a big adventure just like the original movie. It was kinda harsh that Marlin blamed Dory for almost getting Nemo attacked by a squid, which she didn't remember, and told him to just forget. Ouch! Otherwise, great sequel! :)

9.5/10

Finding Nemo (2003)

What A Wonderful Movie

[9/10 · 12 June 2019]

This movie is great for kids and adults alike, and I really enjoyed it as much as Cars. It is a perfect example of combining humor and drama, while also enjoying the voice acting, especially from Alexander Gould, Albert Brooks, and Ellen DeGeneres, and the movie's animation is spectacular!

Kids can relate to Nemo, with adults having the ability to relate to Marlin. I love the soundtrack, the side characters, and hilarity from Dory and the sea turtles. However, I despise Darla for trying to hurt Nemo, and the barracuda for ruining Marlin's life as a happy father! Aside from that, the whale talk scene is funny, and it's amazing how much money it got in theaters. The humor overall is also hilarious, and I like the idea of a movie set underwater in Australia. The morals prove that even family movies don't have to just have morals for kids, who get invested to the interesting plot. I love how lifelike the water looks, and the fish impressions are always humorous, and it plays like a big adventure. For those of you who want to check out the sequel, you guys should really have to give it a try.

9/10

Toy Story (1995)

Hail to the First Computer-Animated Movie Ever!

[10/10 · 7 June 2019]

I absolutely love this movie. The animation, humor, characters, and voice acting are awesome, and Woody - played by none other than Tom Hanks - and Buzz - voiced by the one and only Tim Allen - are such great characters.

However, I will NOT tolerate Mr. Potato Head's ignorant decision to rebel against Woody for knocking Buzz out the window. Rex is very funny, though. I like the idea about toys coming to life, and the sequels are just as good and even better. ALL three movies rock!

10/10

Phineas and Ferb (2007–2024)

This is one awesome show!

[10/10 · 11 May 2019]

I love this show! The animation is amazing, the characters are awesome, the humor is so funny and hilarious, and the songs are brilliant and have great writing. It's about Phineas and Ferb making every day count, and Perry the Platypus, their pet, goes out to stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz from doing his shenanigans. I love not only the two title characters, but also really find Isabella adorable and very cute! She's so sweet as she is always willing to help the boys with their daily projects, and wants to have a romantic relationship with Phineas someday. Out of the two though, I like Isabella the best. She is also confident-spirited, likable, brilliant-thinking, stunning, and friendly. She must deserve the best. I also like her when she is a Fireside Girl. She looks so adorable in her Fireside Girl clothes.

The Emoji Movie (2017)

Terrible Film!

[1/10 · 11 May 2019]

I hate this movie so much! It wasted such perfectly good voice actors, and it was a waste of product placement! Man, it ripped off Wreck-it Ralph, The Lego Movie, and Inside Out! The jokes are just stupid! Sure, the animation was fine and all, but still!

Bicentennial Man (1999)

Not bad for a sci-fi film starring a robot, actually.

[7/10 · 2 May 2019]

I was kind of nervous about the reviews, but after seeing Robin Williams do such a good job, I was impressed, and the soundtrack was so amazing and beautiful. The movie is touching, funny, and decently-written.

Cars 2 (2011)

It's a Pixar movie, ding-dongs!

[9/10 · 5 February 2019]

I don't care what most people say! The animation, voice acting, characters, and story are great in my opinion. This is because it's a Pixar movie, for crying out loud! Lightning is still a great character, and good thing Mater pulled off two funny moments like eating wasabi and winding up in the Japanese restroom! Wasn't that hilarious!? 😂😂

But, seriously, the racing scenes are very fun to watch, and the action sequences are actually awesome! It's an example of a comic relief getting the spotlight in a nutshell, yet still a sequel. The death scenes, though, are... Uh... kinda strange but for some, serves the ship right for trying to help Z stop Lightning and Mater!

Aside from the vehicle destruction scenes, not too bad, but I'd hate to see Lightning and Mater fighting after the former lost a race once. Speaking of which, it's still a nicely executed sequel.

9/10

Cars (2006)

Loved it a lot, because it's my favorite movie in general!

[10/10 · 5 February 2019]

I really liked it since I was younger, and I still do. I love the animation, characters, and voice acting. Lightning is a great character, as he has lots of lessons to learn. There are funny scenes like Mater going tractor tipping. I love the character design, too. If you're a big fan of Pixar like me, you can watch this as well.
