| Uncle Grandpa: Tiger Trails
by Dacey Booker, January 2, 2015

| Penguins of Madagascar
by James R Whitson, December 2, 2014
Penguins of Madagascar is not Pixar, but it’s not trying to be either. It compares much more favorably with the Looney Tunes cartoons of the past — zany, silly fun for fun’s sake. And, Hoover Dam, does it succeed!
|
| The Wind Rises
by Randall Cyrenne, December 1, 2014

|
| Big Hero 6
by James R Whitson, November 10, 2014
Big Hero 6 is yet another winner from Disney — with an assist from Marvel! Despite some nit-picking criticisms of the story, audiences will be more than satisfied with their film.
