TRANSFORMERS ONE is a spectacular animated movie about the origins of the epic battle between the Autobots and the Decepticon robots on the planet Cybertron, a battle that eventually finds its way to Earth. TRANSFORMERS ONE tells an exciting, well-written, crowd-pleasing, often funny story with amazing animation and strong allegorical situations and overt themes reflecting Biblical, Christian, morally uplifting, conservative content and values, but it has lots of strong action violence with large robots battling one another and some light foul language.

In the animated movie PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, Puss in Boots realizes he’s on his last life, so he needs to find the Last Wish star and ask for more lives. Funny and exciting, PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH is well made and has a strong Christian, moral worldview that includes Christian references and promotes being less selfish and reckless, thinking of others before yourself, and loving your family, but there are some scary characters and moments.

MY SPY: THE ETERNAL CITY is a wildly entertaining spy comedy on Amazon Prime and centers on the relationship between a CIA superspy and his 14-year-old stepdaughter as they race to save the world from nuclear destruction that’s set to occur during her school choir’s performance at the Vatican in Rome. MY SPY: THE ETERNAL CITY is full of funny lines, fun performances and fast-paced action, with some strong, overt Christian, moral elements, but the movie also features lots of foul language, some lewd content, underage alcohol use, and lots of strong action violence.

Comical mayhem ensues in THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER when the neophyte director of the 75^th Annual Christmas Pageant in a small town lets the meanest kids get the best roles in the pageant because no one else volunteered. Despite a slightly slow beginning, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER turns into a powerful, emotional, fun movie with a strong Christian, uplifting worldview that will have viewers laughing, crying and feeling the warmth of the God’s love.

IF is a comical fantasy about a 12-year-old girl whose mother died and father is going to have a heart operation, who meets a man who’s trying to help imaginary friends like a large blue fellow, a small mouse, a unicorn with a butterscotch belly, and others find new children. Beautifully shot and performed, IF is a celebration of imagination, creativity, love, and family and has a surprising number of heartfelt, dramatic moments among all the fun and comedy in its story, but the story sometimes meanders and the movie has a gratuitous number of light profanities, so caution is advised.

TROLLS is a delightful animated comedy about the famous Troll dolls, in a story about Princess Poppy trying to save her friends from the troll eating Bergens, with assistance from an unhappy, fearful troll named Branch. With only one adult innuendo as a joke and 3 OMG's, TROLLS is an adorable, fun, funny animated movie the family can enjoy.

THE LITTLE MERMAID is an allegorical movie with strong Christian overtones. When love induces Ariel to make a bad deal with Ursula the sea-witch so that she can try to win the heart of the human Prince Eric, King Triton sacrifices himself to save his daughter. The film is superbly colorful, incredibly well-animated and in two adorable musical numbers, "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl," the sea literally becomes a living orchestra.

In DISENCHANTED on Disney Plus, Giselle questions the happiness she achieved 15 years ago in ENCHANTED and inadvertently turns the lives of her family upside down in the process. DISENCHANTED is a fun, wholesome musical parody, with a strong moral, redemptive worldview that extols family, love and sacrifice, but it drags in places and has some magic spells and violence, so caution is advised for younger children.

ENCANTO is a lively animated musical about a girl living in an isolated magical village in Colombia where everyone in her family has a magical gift but her, but she becomes the only one who can save her family from losing its magic. Beautifully produced, funny and heartwarming, ENCANTO sounds like it could be filled with witchcraft, but the movie explicitly states that family is the real magic and contains overt Christian references, themes, images, and symbolism, which form the backdrop to the story and plot.

ROBOTS is a brilliant, funny, fresh, and morally uplifting animated comedy from the director of ICE AGE. The story is about a young inventor robot who goes to Robot City to pursue his dreams, and finds out that he has to save the world. ROBOTS is full of great dialogue, good pacing and wise moments of emotional release.
