5.Alice Through The Looking Glass
A young female must return to the new world to help her friends by traveling back in time. She travels back in time to search for the answers that she needs to help her friends. Gorgeous looking film that will draw you in. it has got an all star cast and they all convince in their roles, those are the positive; the film itself struggles with the balance of the lighter aspect with the darker elements, it not quite laughs out loud funny and it lacks the charm. Unfortunately, with these flaws this film it didn’t quite work.
4.Dumbo
Holt, a circus performer, is tasked with caring for a baby elephant with oversized ears, Dumbo. But when it is discovered that Dumbo can fly, a few wicked men try to take advantage of the situation. I’m an animal’s lover so I thought I would enjoyed this. It has got a good cast as this film is eye catching, but unfortunately it lacks the charm and the villain not as memorable, this feels slightly forced, for me personally it didn’t deliver and that is a real shame.
3.The Jungle Book
Mowgli is a boy brought up in the jungle by a pack of wolves. When Shere Khan, a tiger, threatens to kill him, a panther and a bear help him escape his clutches. Having watched this film I do like the story behind this film. the CGI/SFX look outstanding, the musicals elements are weak and not as memorable, the film itself struggles with the balance of the lighter aspect with the darker elements, I wanted to like this film but with these flaws this is a letdown.
2.Lilo & Stitch
A lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo befriends a runaway alien, helping to mend her fragmented family. Firstly, I like the message of family in this film as that is important. It has got some nice moment in this film; the chemistry between the two sister is spot on, those are the positive. It can be too hyperactive and the laugh seems forced, it more the film itself not as memorable as it should be, it has got huge potential but for me personally it didn’t deliver.
1.Aladdin
Aladdin, a kind thief, woos Jasmine, the princess of Agrabah, with the help of Genie. When Jafar, the grand vizier, tries to usurp the king. Eye catching film with a good story. The CGI/SFX is superb as those are the positive; I just feel in generally the director is out of his element, the songs not as memorable, it feels slightly forced, for me personally this is a letdown.
