Lost in San Francisco

This is the second Homeward Bound disney adventure. The characters are Sassy, the pet cat, Shadow, the wise old timer, and Chance, the fun loving American Bulldog who is newest to the family. The whole family, including the pets, are going on a vacation when the animals escape at the airport in San Francisco before even getting onto the airplane. They run into a few problems on their journey to get home when they run into Riley's Gang. Riley becomes good friends with the pets, and Chance falls in love with Delialah, one of the stray dogs in Riley's Gang. Riley helps point the trio on their way to the Golden Gate Bridge so they could find their way home. Chance becomes depressed on his way home, thinking Delialah didn't want to come with him until they finally make it home. After a series of hazards Delialah shows up at their home. The family then takes in Delialah.

This thrilling hit is favored by people of all audiences. It is a funny adventure that is going to please everyone. There is  happy ending, so no one is left unhappy. This is the second time these three pets have traveled many miles to make it back to their home. It makes people believe anything is possible with a lost pet and the love of an animal companion; also how animals play a large part in our lives. My favorite character is Chance by far. He plays the young pup that's still learning the reigns in life. He is incredibly goofy, and is very uncoordnated and runs into absolutely everything. He can make anyone laugh and have a better day, especially the way him and Sassy bicker back and forth. This is one of my favorite movies, I rate it an A+.

The Lanterns

Rapunzel is the main character in the story. She is the princess in the movie Tangled. She has magical hair that can heal people, and make them feel young when being touched with her hair while she sings. As a child she was stole by a whitch named Mother Gothel, she impersonated Rapunzel's mother and kept her locked up in a tower in the woods. She has a pet Camillion that is very loyal, and follows her everywhere. A young thief named Flinn Ryder is trying to escape the police and tries to hide in the tower. Rapunzel tells him that in exchange for his precious crown he must act as her guide. She runs away from her home in the tower in search of the floating lights that appear every year on her birthday. Leaving the tower leads her to discover who she really is, and even without her long blonde hair she can still heal people she cares about. In the end she is reunited with her family in the palace, and Flinn becomes a part of the family.

The movie Tangled, has a great storyline. It has a meaning that has to be uncovered, that going through your life your going to try to give your life meaning and find out who you are. It is a very child appropriate film, and is very well suited for the family. I greatly enjoyed this movie. This movie has action, some musical qualities, its very funny, and also has a little bit of romantic parts. I rate this movie an A.
