I have disliked a number of Pixar movies, for being idealess and soulless. It truely felt like Pixar had lost all of their magic. But Inside Out 2 is a welcome movie among recent disappointments. Not at all perfect but still good! The story of Riley's transition into her teenage years, and finding a way to handle all of her new emotions, especially anxiety, appeal not just to children, but resonate with the more mature audience as well. The theme can be a little complex for younger audience. However the writers mange to keep it simple, funny and emotional. All the classic signs of a truly good Pixar movie. I loved the introduction of the new characters, and found them all to be likable in there on way. You could understand the motivation of each character, and none of them were over the top and outstayed their welcome "Except nostalgia" :-) The ending was great too. I love that they didn't wrap it up in a cliche way. Over all Good! Therefore i give it 8 starts. Great job Disney and Pixar!

I just went to see the The Super Mario Bros Movie and I have to say I found it entertaining.

As someone growing up playing the various games, Super Mario Bros, World, 64, New, Galaxy and etc. I had an expectation that the movie would deliver nostalgia. And that is exactly what it did. Visually, the movie is stunning, and you can tell that the animation team really put time and love into the project.

However, the movie is not without its faults. The story is really fast paced and does not take it's time to explore the characters on a deeper level. Why would Peach blindly trust Mario to save her world? And why is Mario so protective of his brother?

I know it is a movie mostly aimed at super fans who know the story well, and at kids who just want a good story. So I will not slam the movie too hard for it.

The movie is everything you expect from an animated Super Mario Movie and I hope they make a Super Mario Bros. 2.
