Kids movie week review

I ended up one week watching 3 movies intended for kids. I started off the week re-watching Hocus Pocus. I don't feel the need to write a #MovieReview of a film that is over 20 years old. If you don't know anything about it now, you're probably not the kind of person who'd care anyway.

And then I saw The Wild Robot. It is about a robot who boots up on an unhabited (by humans) island. In an effort to find a user and a task to do, it terrorises the local wildlife and accidentally wipes out a family of geese except for 1 egg. So it takes it upon itself to raise it. It's a very heartwarming and endearing tale about growth and acceptance. And funny in places too. I also liked the visual style.

Finally, was Transformers One - the new Transformers animated movie which was also good I guess. I'm not sure who needed an Optimus Prime/Megatron origin story, but this is exactly what this is. Both start off as lowly miners who couldn't transform and until they go off on an adventure which changes them into the hero and villain we know today. Not sure there is more than meets the eye to this otherwise. Maybe if you're more aware of the Lore, this movie means something. For the kids, it's just a fun couple of hours with robots fighting and stuff.
