A review of Luca, Pixar's charming summer tale of a sea monster discovering the human world, with a gentle but forgettable middle.


A review of Luca, Pixar's charming summer tale of a sea monster discovering the human world, with a gentle but forgettable middle.

A hotel for monsters run by a fearful count, whose jests and tricks grow tiresome before the tale ends.

A swift hedgehog crashes to Earth, pursued by a villain of malice, in a tale of speed without substance.

A tale of three small yellow creatures who chase a villain across Europe, bright, loud, and pleasing unto children.

A jungle game traps two children within its perilous bounds, while a villain's schemes remain ever a mystery.

A boy left alone at home devises tricks against two thieves, a tale of mischief and merriment fit for children.

A soft robot of healing joins a boy's broken heart against a masked foe, in a tale of grief, friendship, and a city of neon towers.

Pixar's Monsters, Inc. remains a classic: a witty workplace satire with heartfelt friendship, clever animation, and a lasting message that laughter beats fear.

A magical compass sends Tom and Jerry through time, yet the chase yields only noise and mess, forgetting its own title pair.
