Smurfs: The Lost Village
Frankly, the Smurfs: The Lost Village’s creators do something really brave: They make a movie … just for kids.
The Boss Baby
The Boss Baby’s eventual affirmation of sibling bonding and familial love makes all its toddler toilet humor a bit more bearable.
Rock Dog
Rock Dog is a movie that is at times mildly charming (if predictable and formulaic) but more often just kind of … odd.
The LEGO Batman Movie
A tiny bit more restraint could have made this a movie we’d wholeheartedly recommend. As it is, it’s pretty good, but not perfect; heroic, but a bit edgy. Kind of like Batman himself.
The Red Turtle
The Red Turtle is a simple parable about the basic longings we all share: the desire to find companionship and love, fulfillment and family.
Monster Trucks
This is a movie about a boy and his monster. It’s a popcorn-munching romp for the tween set, one that emphasizes selflessness and loyalty, friendship and family along the way.
Moana
Disney sets its narrative sights on a new blend of Hawaiian myth and Pacific Ocean adventure.
Hillsong—Let Hope Rise
Hillsong—Let Hope Rise delivers a stirring, refreshing—and musically familiar—reminder that Jesus still reigns amid the chaos of our world, and that He invites us to worship and adore Him.
The Wild Life
Pixar-like moments? Sweet scenes that require wiping a tear from your grown-up eye? Nope, not a one. But then there aren’t any cannibals or exotic words you’d hate to have repeated, either.
Pete’s Dragon
If you’re a parent pausing over concerns about dragons, worry not. Pete’s winged, galumphy bud Elliot is no scary, scaly fire-breather.
