Dog Man (2025) Candice McMillan Endearing, hilarious, but undeniably heartfelt

Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) Candice McMillan Suffering from a bad case of poor-adaptation-itis, Harold and the Purple Crayon is perhaps cohesive enough for young elementary school viewers, but their grown-up chaperones are unlikely to find anything redeeming about this shallow reimagining.

The Garfield Movie (2024) Candice McMillan The Garfield Movie loses the charm and good-natured humor of its source material with a meandering plot and a focus on new characters rather than the comic’s tried-and-true.

Wish (2023) Candice McMillan Filled with catchy new songs and featuring a classic Disney storyline, “Wish” is a whole heaping of heart that’s completely ... Wish is shattered by a dreamless plot and hopelessly shallow character development.

The Boy and the Heron (2023) Candice McMillan Bursting with originality and somber themes in line with the protagonist’s coming-of-age revelations, The Boy and the Heron is another Miyazaki classic that will leave audiences touched by the incredibly moving imagery and fantastical journey.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023) Candice McMillan Fans of the first Chicken Run film will delight in the nostalgia with a new installment that features the same beloved characters, a fearsome foe and another mission worth crowing over.

Trolls Band Together (2023) Candice McMillan Trolls Band Together nails the perfect harmony between musical numbers, character development and an exceptionally timed 90-minute adventure with plenty of spunk and nostalgia to appease all.

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023) Candice McMillan The themes here are easy to follow and surprisingly sweet, even from an oversimplified property like Paw Patrol ... The Mighty Movie will have everyone rooting for the underdog.

Haunted Mansion (2023) Candice McMillan An improvement from its predecessor ... the film’s lasting impression will not live up to its source material, a ride which, even at just 9 minutes long, packs in more of a punch than the 2-hour feature.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) Candice McMillan Mutant Mayhem has plenty of butt-kicking, pizza-eating, cowabunga-screaming joy for a new era of TMNT fans

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) Candice McMillan Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a kaleidoscope of color, easy on the eyes with a story that neither amazes nor offends, but will mesmerize kids for its perfectly appropriate 90-minute runtime.

The Secret Kingdom (2023) Candice McMillan Though the film seems, at times, to bend under the weight of its convoluted premise and the blind eye it has turned at a fully-developed backstory, The Secret Kingdom is a solid, enjoyable, if not likely forgettable high fantasy epic.

Elemental (2023) Candice McMillan The irresistible animation, whose texture jumps off the screen ... does not negate, nor camouflage a weak narrative. If “Elemental” suffers from one major pitfall, it is a story too elementary for even moderate Pixar fans.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) Candice McMillan We may lose regard for the gravitas of the film’s premise, and we may know exactly where the film is headed. But it doesn’t keep “Rise of the Beasts” from rising above and delivering a clean, fun, monster-romping good time.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Candice McMillan Vibrant, poignant and completely avant-garde: it’s nothing I’ve seen or felt before in an animated feature, and the energy it imbues onto audiences is, like a bite from a radioactive spider, infectious.

The Little Mermaid (2023) Candice McMillan Despite the headlines, The Little Mermaid is a magical reimagining, one that may be too long or too scary for young children, but will surprise and delight older kids and grown fans of the original.

Peter Pan & Wendy (2023) Candice McMillan All talk, no crocodile bite ... The parts just don't add up to a completely engaging trip to Neverland.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) Candice McMillan Even those with no Blume background will be swept away by the charming youth performances and amusing storylines that post-pubescent women of all ages will recognize, from a position of hindsight, with fond memory.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Candice McMillan You don’t have to blow the dust out of this cartridge; Mario is ready to jump, high kick and spin back into action. Let’s-a-go!

The Amazing Maurice (2022) Candice McMillan This isn’t a grand epic or a film that traverses as far as outer space, but the medieval setting it does tackle is rich enough for full immersion and complex enough for an undoubtedly amazing, smart aleck cat to shine.

Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (2022) Candice McMillan Ardent fans of the musical will rejoice for any reason to revisit the iconic songs and enthralling reinvention by genius Tim Minchin; all others will likely yearn for the Matilda struck into public consciousness nearly three decades prior.

Strange World (2022) Candice McMillan Torn between action and emotion, Strange World is a nice one-time ride, a reason to take the kids out of the house on Thanksgiving while dinner cooks, but it certainly will not become anyone’s new favorite.
