The House (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three Tales in the House
Netflix animation feature film “The House”, which was released on last Friday, is a curious mixed bag which still engages us even when it does not work as well as intended. Consisting of three different weird tales, the movie tries … Continue reading
Sing 2 (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): They’re back with a bigger task…
Animation film “Sing 2”, which is incidentally released as “Sing 2gether” in South Korean theaters, is as effective as its predecessor, and that is all I could say in this review. Just like “Sing” (2016), the film is simply all … Continue reading
Sing (2016) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): It surely serves you lots of familiar songs
It is hard to be cranky about animation film “Sing”, which uses a bunch of various good songs like linoleum to cover up lots of its notable shortcomings on the floor. Sure, I could see through its many clichéd and … Continue reading
Flee (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A simple but extraordinary animated documentary film
“Flee”, which was recently selected as the Danish entry to Best International Film Oscar, is a simple but extraordinary animated documentary film. As sensitively and thoughtfully examining one real-life Afghan immigrant’s past which has been suppressed at the corner of … Continue reading

The Summits of Gods (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Following after a mountaineer
At first, Netflix animation film “The Summits of Gods”, which was released a few days ago, draws our attention for its odd combination. Although it is based on a Japanese manga series of the same name written and illustrated by … Continue reading
The Shaman Sorceress (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A shaman sorceress’ story
South Korean animation feature film “The Shaman Sorceress” does not seem to be confident about its story and characters. While it works to some degree as a harrowing melodramatic fable of cultural clash, the movie, which is based on the … Continue reading

Encanto (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her and her family’s certain domestic problem
Disney animation feature film “Encanto” is quite predictable to the core, but it is fairly colorful enough to delight us. While it is not particularly fresh in terms of story and characters, this weakness is fortunately compensated by not only … Continue reading
Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): His little malfunctioning friend
Animation feature film “Ron’s Gone Wrong” may aim low from the beginning, but it is more entertaining than expected. Although many of its components are familiar to the core, it fairly works well as cheerfully swaying back and forth between … Continue reading

Vivo (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Not as colorful or lively as its music background
Netflix animation film “Vivo”, which was released on last Friday, is not as colorful or memorable as required by its music background, and that is a shame considering a number of notable talented folks assembled here for its production. While … Continue reading
