Smallfoot Is A Solid Animated Musical Whose Best Traits Are Also Its Most Unique Ones

Smallfoot is a new animated family movie hailing from director Karey Kirkpatrick (director of the underappreciated Over the Hedge and the widely forgotten 2009 Eddie Murphy vehicle Imagine That) whose best qualities are the ways it tries to be unique and whose weaker aspects come from when it tries too hard to adhere to what it believes conventional American animated family fare has to be. The majority of our lead characters in Smallfoot are Yeti's who reside in a village located on the very top of a mountain. In this village, we find our lead character, Migo (Channing Tatum), who loves his simple life which is primarily spent preparing to take over the duties of his father, Dorgle (Danny DeVito), and adhering to ancient rules written on stones that nobody is supposed to question.

Teen Titans Go! To The Movies And Score Some Hyperactive Laughs

There isn't a frame of Teen Titans Go! To The Movies that isn't marked by manic energy, the whole thing is just rambunctious as all heck, it's the cinematic manifestation of a six-year-old who just gobbled up all the sugary treats they could stomach. If that sounds like a grating experience that would leave you more tired than entertained, somehow, Teen Titans Go! To The Movies manages to upend expectations and make such high levels of hyperactivity actually pretty humorous. Kids movies that want to be just about all the laughs are a dime-a-dozen, but unlike, say the recent Illumination Entertainment efforts, Teen Titans Go! To The Movies is one such kids movie that's actually (*GASP*) funny enough to justify it concentrating solely on the yuks.
