Up by Disney

In the movie Up, Carl Fredricksen meets a young adventerous girl named Ellie. They get married, and have a dream of going to the wilderness in South America, to see Paradise Falls. When Ellie dies, he decides to make this long journey alone to South America. Russell is a wilderness explorer guide, and is trying to get his assisting the elderly badge. Russell stows away on Carl's porch, and they go on this adventure together. Where they meet a large bird named Kevin, who follows them to the Paradise Falls. There is a bad guy in the area, whom created talking dogs to track down the large bird. One of the dogs, Doug, isn't very smart, and becomes friends with the group including the bird. Doug is supposed to take the bird as his prisoner.

I now own this movie, because I liked it so much! It shows you can have friendships, with all different sorts of people and creatures. The movie Up is appropriate for all ages. My favorite character is Doug, he loves everyone, and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I rate this movie an A+.

Marmaduke

It is an Animated movie, in which the main character is Marmaduke. He is a big great Dane; Owen Wilson is the voice of Marmaduke, and there is the father named Phil, three kids and the mother. There is also the family cat named Carlos, which the voice is George Lopez. The family moves form Kansas to Southern California. The movie is about Marmaduke trying to find his place in the dogie world, in Southern California. In the end Marmaduke picks his fake pure bred friends over his real ones. Everyone is mad at Marmaduke so he decides to run away, and then get stuck in a dilemma. His real friends take him back into the group, and his family becomes a real family again. The movie Marmaduke has a happy ending.

I am in love with this movie! It teaches a good lesson, on how to not betray your real friends. The real friends and family are the ones that are really going to be there for you. I recommend this movie for any age groups. It is sure to make anyone laugh, and a great family movie. Marmaduke deserves an A+.

How to Train Your Dragon

This movie is about a young boy growing up in a Viking village. Dragons are often pillaging the village. Hiccup is the boy’s name. His father is the leader of the village, and knows he is different and not meant to be a warrior but an inventor.  Hiccup wants to be a Viking warrior, until he captures the most dangerous dragon. He realizes he can kill the dragon, he has too much heart. He released the dragon, but it turned on Hiccup, and then flies away. Hiccup finds that the dragon is injured and wants to help him. He names the dragon Toothless, but he has retractable teeth. He becomes best friends with the Toothless, and creates a fake wing for him. Teaches him to use it, and rides Toothless. While training Toothless, Hiccup is going through his own dragon killing training. Hiccup’s father tries to kill the dragon, and you will have to watch to find what happens next.

There aren’t any inappropriate references that I noticed. So I would say it’s appropriate for most children. It had a really good moral to the story as well. This whole time the Vikings thought that Dragons were bad, but in reality they weren’t.  They just needed to open up more. It deserves an A-: because it's cute, shows that friendship has no boundaries, and Hiccup is funny to watch because he is so dorky.

Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 is a sequel to the original Toy Story. It's about toys that can talk, have human emotions, and can come to life. Woody is the main character along with Buzz Lightening, and they are Andy's toys. Some of the other characters are Slinky the toy slinky dog, Mr. and Mrs. Potatoe Head, Rex the dinosaur, Jessie the cowgirl and Bullseye her trusty stead, and a few new characters. They are upset because Andy is headed off to college and they thought he didn't want them anymore. They climbed in the donation box to go to a Day Care. Where they are abused by kids not age appropriate for them. They spend time trying to escape........ Do they escape and make it back home? Does Andy trully want them back? You have to watch the movie to find out.

I watched Toy Story 3 multiple times, and found it very funny. There were a few scary parts,  times when the toys weren't full clothed, and inappropriate inuendoes. I would say it's more appropraite for children over the age of seven. I have liked every Toy Story I have seen and I think it deserves an A!
