Dolittle is a great family movie, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dolittle (2020)

We thought Dolittle was just lovely. And I was a complete sceptic. I’m talking about the Doctor Dolittle movie staring Robert Downey Jnr released in 2020. I wasn’t a sceptic because of the previous two movies starring Eddie Murphy (or maybe there were three). Nor was it because of the horrible reviews I’ve recently read, […]

Toy Story 4 – finally the right ending

Toy Story 4 was better than I could have imagined. It brought the gang back together with some HILARIOUS new toys and it feels like the story finally ended in the right way.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (if you’re like me) and you’ll probably love it.
It’s really a great great movie! Maybe even the best of the four.

Toy Story 3 – a mom’s review of the last Toy Story

I think Toy Story 3 is probably my least favourite but I’m not sure that my kids agree.  From my perspective, Toy Story 3 introduces a mean mean toy, it also, until recently, meant saying goodbye to Woody and Buzz. It meant growing up and moving on. It epitomised the end of childhood. With the […]

Toy Story 1 – a mom’s review of the very first movie

With the new Toy Story coming out, it’s time to work through the Toy Story movies again.

I’m working out the good, the bad and the age guide for these movies. And i’ve added a small guideline of the plot, hopefully without giving too much away.

Recommended Movies for Younger Kids

Movies for Younger Kids It’s hard to find suitable movies for younger kids. I’m hoping that this list of recommended movies for young kids makes it a little easier to find thing that you’re happy letting your child watch. Despite my daughter’s unwavering love of Frozen, I actually haven’t included it in this list. I […]

Sing! The best animated movie for singing and dancing.

Sing! (the animated movie)

Sing!  I can not believe I haven’t reviewed Sing! yet. It’s one of my daughters all time favorites. I must have watched it over 100 times by now. Coupled with listening to the songs when we’re in the car, it is perpetually part of our lives. I know we’re not the only family who this […]

Paddington 2

Paddington 2: even better than it’s prequel. Paddington 1 was lovely. But, Paddington 2 is, in my opinion, so much better than Paddington 1.  As with the first, the colours are so bright and its beautifully filmed and Paddington himself is true to character. In this movie the plot is brilliant and isn’t as scary […]

Alice in Wonderland 

Alice in Wonderland Alice in Wonderland has recently become one of my daughter’s favourite movies. I’m talking the original Alice in Wonderland, the 1951 cartoon movie. It was one of my favorites growing up so it’s really special to enjoy this with her. This is one of the great Disney classics.   As with any […]

Movies for Kids: Storks

Storks – The animated movie

Storks   What a gorgeous family movie. I’m not the biggest fan of animated movies because there are generally awfully scary scenes or they just miss the mark but I just loved this movie.   I don’t know if Storks can be classified a “kids movie” but it is definitely a family movie. It leaves […]

Dennis The Menace 

Dennis The Menace Dennis the Menace is a classic character and the 1993 movie version is fantastic. It’s so cute with the lead character and his troupe of friends.    Walter Mathau plays Mr Wilson excellently with all the requisite grumpiness and the cast is generally on point. The movie is set in such a […]
