Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Enough is enough…
Animation film “Kung Fu Panda 4” is a passable product not bringing anything particularly new or surprising to its franchise, which was started with “Kung Fu Panda” (2008) and then continued in the two following sequels during next several years. … Continue reading

Orion and the Dark (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): His friend, Dark
Netflix animation film “Orion and the Dark”, which was released in last week, is a simple but engaging children’s story decorated with interesting ideas and visuals. While its narrative structure may be a bit confusing to its main target audiences … Continue reading
Wish (2023) ☆☆(2/4): You will wish for a better one
The most surprising thing about new Disney animation film “Wish” is how dull and uninspired it is. Often lacking in spirit and personality, the film merely serves a run-of-the-mill fantasy tale which does not engage us much due to its … Continue reading

Trolls Band Together (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Shiny and colorful again with lots of songs
Animation film “Trolls Band Together” is shiny and colorful just like its two predecessors. I was not particularly excited about “Trolls” (2016) and “Trolls World Tour” (2020), but they were fairly watchable mainly thanks to its bright optimistic energy mainly … Continue reading

The Boy and the Heron (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Miyazaki returns…
Hayao Miyazaki’s much-anticipated comeback animation film “The Boy and the Heron” feels more like an exercise than an entertainment. It is surely filled with lots of Miyazaki’s personal style and touches to admire, and there are certainly a number of … Continue reading
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): When Halloween meets Christmas
Animation film “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, which was somehow released in South Korean theaters a few days ago probably because of its 30th anniversary, is still a joy to behold. When I watched it for the first time via a … Continue reading
Blue Giant (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): All for Jazz
Japanese animation film “Blue Giant” is simply riveting whenever it conveys to us that ecstatic quality of jazz music performance. Probably because of being singled-minded as its main characters’ artistic pursuit for sublime perfection, the movie often feels a bit … Continue reading
