[Audio Review] Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) by Super Marcey and Bede Jermyn
When the animated family film HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA was released back in 2012, a lot of people didn’t have any expectations of it being any good, which is understandable considering the involvement of star/executive producer Adam Sandler. However to our surprise, the film turned out to be actually really good and ended up being one of the … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker [2000] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Curt Geda Starring: Kevin Conroy, Will Friedle, Angie Harmon, Dean Stockwell, Tara Strong, Arleen Sorkin and Mark Hamill By far, one of the most daring DC animated films to date not just thematically but universe wise, the “Batman Beyond” franchise may not have as much recognition as its original predecessor, but it is not one … Continue reading

The Show: I may be known as the Monster High girl, but I am also quite familiar with Winx Club too (I have two Bloom dolls in my collection). Season 1 is now available on DVD in Australia in a box set, really happy to see. Now I am not exactly the Winx Club’s target … Continue reading
[Review] Penguins of Madagascar (2014)
Full disclosure, I haven’t seen any of the Madagascar films, or the cartoons that followed. PENGUINS is actually my first adventure into this world, and I quite enjoyed it. Without knowing anything about the other films or cartoons, I found that did not matter, because this film is aimed mostly as its own vehicle and … Continue reading
[MIFF ’14] Anina (2013)
ANINA was submitted for the Oscars, for the Best Foreign Language Film category from Uruguay. It was not successful in getting a nomination unfortunately, but it is more than deserving of that honour. This is a beautiful film, with fantastic animation and a great story. It is honestly always a pleasure to see animation that … Continue reading
