Ponyo
Beautiful and thoughtful, Miyazaki once again shows he’s a master of taking the magical and making it endearing.

Triangle
Has a strong visual style but a horrible story.
Surrogates
A film that raises many interesting ideas but follows through on few of them.
Slightly Used
Although sometimes a little too cartoonish, the cast is an enjoyable lot with plenty going on to drive the film forward.

Santa Buddies
Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it’s impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible.
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Featuring beautiful nature animation and possessing a passable plot, if nothing else, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure opens up a world beyond the Never Land everyone seemingly knows.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
While I see the film’s importance from a technical aspect and laud it for its sense of mood, it’s not at the top of my list of animated classics.
Sling Blade
Well-acted, a multi-leveled story and a pure honesty make Sling Blade one of my favourite films of the 1990s.
Pete’s Dragon
Boring, annoying and not funny, Pete’s Dragon is one of the dullest films from Disney that I’ve ever seen.
Race to Witch Mountain
Boring and unoriginal, this new version might have some fancy visuals and a loud soundtrack but they’re just a smokescreen for how boring and lifeless the film is.
