Próxima Parada: Lar Doce Lar

I find that CG animated films outside of the major studios are normally a "big miss" money grabs catered towards young kids (not requiring good writers and animators). But, this by far is an exception - with great character designs for the creepy creatures and humans, and actually funny, heartwarming dialog for all ages! :-)

I overheard this film while my kids were watching it and just by momentarily listening to the dialogue it started to catch my attention. I ended up watching the whole movie while my 2 little ones fell asleep haha! A little embarrassing maybe, but I actually really enjoyed this movie. Yeah, there are some 2nd-rate corny lines here and there added with a few cliches, but overall it's quite a lovely film. In my children's animated films opinion, it's no Toy Story classic, but definitely more enjoyable than Frozen 2. I don't know why; something about the story really had me hooked :) You'll have to watch it for yourself!

Flicking through Netflix you might see this movie and dismiss it as a cheap, low effort, low quality kids cartoon, but I would actually recommend giving it a try.

The cast is star studded, the music is brilliant, the animation is stylised but very good.

Well worth the 90minutes.

Finally an Aussie animation that both parents and children can watch together, yet enjoy on totally separate levels of humour..and it is hilarious!

"Back To The Outback" follows the road trip of a bunch of creatures in the reptile house at a zoo (closely resembling a cross between Taronga and Australia Zoo) who are sick and tired of being locked in, only to be released as part of an exhibition where humans gawk at them like they're monsters.

This group of Australia's deadliest creatures plot a daring escape from their zoo to the Outback.

Glorious animation is teamed with a clever, funny screenplay from Harry Cripps (who also directed this feature film) and loveable characters voiced by Aussie icons like Eric Bana, Isla Fisher, Kylie Minogue, Jackie Weaver and Tim Minchin to name a few and backed by a great soundtrack.

Marvellous Summer entertainment out now on #Netflix.

Not a big-budget animated masterpiece, but something you can learn from and enjoy. I watched this with 2 kids aged 7 and 9 and they keep talking about it, the facts they learned and what they already knew, how the title says 'back' twice, and how we're all beautiful. They actually laughed out loud, were surprised by some parts, and stuck till the end. To me, this movie was a reminder of Steve Irwin and the glory days of National Geographic. It may not be great for extremely tiny kids, but it's a fun watch for everybody else.
