Pixar have once again reminded me that there is a way to create a film that not only appeals to just about everyone, but also prove that three-quels need not suck.

It’s by no means some sort of quote-whoringly “fantastic stuff,” “the best baseball movie since Ken Burns took 18 hours of my life” or even “a home run.” Sometimes a solid single is all that it takes.
Hangs a neon sign around the key set-up points and lights off fireworks around them so that it’s easy to see exactly what the big reveals will be.
One of the finest Westerns to come along since the genre decided largely to pack up and ride into the sunset several decades ago.
Has a strong visual style but a horrible story.
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.
It’s got the mystery aspect down beautifully, but because I wasn’t given a chance to get behind the characters and get to know them, I had a hard time getting into the film itself.
The issues it tackles are just as relevant now (if not more so) than they were when the film was first released theatrically back in 1997.
The action movie has been spoofing itself for years. Half of the time it’s no even intentional. Ben Stiller’s hilarious and surprisingly intelligent Tropic Thunder takes the genre spoof to a new extreme.
