I want to judge this movie fairly. So, even though I haven't read the novels, and it loosely reminds me of the "Harry Potter" series, I will judge it for what it is. A theatrical(well, more like at-home) release. And that alone gives it some points. It pulls off some nicely animated special effects. Some scenes alone are quite nice to look at. The actors did an alright if somewhat lackluster job, especially Josh Gad. His depiction was my favorite character. However, that isn't to say that there are not some lows. The overall narrative felt forced and too dramatic for me at times. I enjoyed the broken family vibes I was getting, but then it went into a "James Bond" reminiscent spoof, and I rapidly lost interest. I said I would judge this movie fairly, but my subconscious was still incredibly bored. Also, some character's redemption arcs feel too wishy-washy and cliche. The antagonist's motivation had several flaws. Several that I was quick to point out when I viewed this film. Overall, this is not a great movie. But it certainly is not the worst thing I could be watching. It is a bit of a dissapointment. But, if I was judging it based on the criteria for being a film alone, that is the best aspect.

If there was anything I didn't like about this movie, it barely affected my judgement of it. Not only is it a solid ending, but also a heartwarming journey. Truly showing the bears at their bests and at their worsts. Grizz is worried that he won't be able to protect his brothers. That was a promise he made to them long ago, and he is never trying to break it. Panda is a nervous nutcase, which is understandable. Grizz keeps trying to make the situation better, but he just seems to make it worse. Ice Bear is just Ice Bear. The mostly silent and mostly overpowered bear protagonist we both know and love. I fell in love with this show when it first came out, and this movie made me love it even more. While I am disappointed to see it go, I am sure the creator has greater plans for the future. The only reason my review here is a 4/5 is simply because I would have liked to see a little backstory for the villian. His motivation is somewhat sound, but it would have been a little better if he was expounded upon. My final review of this movie: 9/10. A wonderful experience. One I will soon be taking again.

There is an extreme lack of words to describe what an ethereal, enthralling, and exciting experience of a movie "Soul" was, but I'll try my best. I seldom question what my passion is, much less my purpose on this Earth. If someone were to ask me what is, I'd simply say: "I like to write, paint, draw, etc." But never has a film-much less an animated one- moved me so greatly. The sheer fact that I can sympathize with all characters(even Terry) is incredible. I love Joe and 22's journey into discovering what makes life truly worth living. I never questioned it, but this movie made me have somewhat of an existential crisis. The scene with 22 becoming a lost soul and talking herself down is just masterful. This is what I enjoy most about Pete Docter's filmography. He possesses the ability to make intense emotions feel small yet all the more powerful. Everything about Soul intrigues me and beckons me to question it. I am all the more grateful to see movies like this, and I am glad that Pixar is returning to their original spark. Now, whenever someone asks me what my passion or purpose is, I can simply say: I just want to live.

At first, I went in with the mindset, "Oh, Gumball people made a new show! I bet it'll be just like it." But, boy was I wrong. And I'm glad. I love sci-fi and 2-d animation, but also The Amazing World Of Gumball is just a phenomenal show. Life-changing for me, at least. I'll give this show a chance. The part I got to see was wonderful, and I can't wait to see what happens next. 4 stars for now, just because I haven't seen it just yet, but I'll come back later and rate it higher. Because why not! Edit: I just saw the rest. Definitely 5 stars, maybe even infinite stars worthy.

Definitely a refreshing film. The main leads were enjoyable, and the graphics of course were phenomenal. Some questions left me a bit unsatisfied, but I understand that it is up to interpretation. Something that I enjoyed watching, and wouldn't mind doing again.

I have mixed emotions about this movie. As a standalone film, I believe that it's well-executed, well-cast, and well-done. Just well would be the word to describe my reaction. However, if judging it with the bias of being a fan of the novel, I would probably have the same reaction. Except for one small, tiny little nitpick: "It's not accurate." Okay, look. I know everyone who is everyone has this complaint about a movie. I even think this sometimes, too. But that shouldn't take away from a film in it of itself. Just let it be a standalone thing. So I will judge it like that. And, because Google won't let me do this, I give this movie 5.7/10. Some of the acting was dry, if only boring. I almost couldn't stand the main girl, but she is okay in the end. Black Beauty is the best character. There, I said it. George was fine, I suppose. No need for a love interest, though. And it was set in the modern times? That's okay. All in all, this movie has the benefit of being a decent film on its own merit rather than just being a book adaptation. Not many movies based on already existing properties have this luxury. So with that, here is my final statement: I didn't hate the movie, and I didn't love it. I liked it. Quite more than usual.

It lost 1 star for being vaguely similar to a show on Cartoon Network called "Unikitty," which I like a bit more. It lost another for just being boring. Now, the animation style is what makes it okay for me. I would recommend this show to anyone that likes rainbows, butterflies, unicorns, and cats, which consides with the name.

It is a great movie to add to Pixar's lineup. Of the film lineup for 2020, this movie and "Soul" were the ones I wanted to see the most. I am now more excited for "Soul" after seeing "Onward." It isn't my favorite Pixar movie, but it is in the top 10, right before "The Good Dinosaur" and "Cars." I wouldn't consider the first bit anything unlike a usual Pixar movie: setting up the drama before getting to the adventure. But the last half was my favorite part. I was trying so hard not to cry: not only at the story, but the animation. A previous film mentioned here(I'll let you guess) has some of the most hyper-realistic animation I have ever seen. "Onward" has beautiful backgrounds and such pretty details. The end is one of the best parts of any Pixar movie. This, currently, is my favorite film of 2020. The second- and only by a fraction- is "The Call Of The Wild."
