There’s never any dull moment in these toys’ lives. Script, character and animation, all are just perfect. The movie perfectly captures what it was like to play with your favorite toys growing up. While the series features real life toys such as Mr. Potato Head, Green Army Men and Barbie, the movies invented a vivacious toy line of their own with real life versions of characters such as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. “Toy Story” will remain with you till eternity and even beyond that! | |

This movie is powerfully stuffed with content that is spiritual, positive, and you may have something to teach your kids towards the end- the point that it’s not how you're born that matters, but "it's what you do with the gift of life which determines what you are. This film was released when Pokemania reached its peak. The first Pokemon feature movie pitted Ash and his friends against the superbly powerful Pokemon Mewtwo, who sought revenge against humanity for the experiments done on him. This film garnered huge success, paving way for a staggering 17 plus more Pokemon films thereafter - so far. Add to it the mobile app craze too! Definitely, worth a watch. | |

This movie has a good story, quite action-packed, very exciting, and gripping to those of us of the right age to enjoy it. Adults may have to endure it for some reason, but it has been a hit with the kid fraternity. You cannot discount the fun of seeing these shape-shifting Japanese-American toys and blowing each other away! Characters in the movie do die left and right, but that’s where the entire thrill is? Isn’t it? | |

Just to introduce, the Care Bears are a group of colorful bears that live in the clouds, each bear is named after a trait and having a symbol on their belly representing this trait. This can’t get more exciting. As for the movie flow, the animation plays very smoothly and the movies use of shadows is very impressive. Throughout its timeline, the movie keeps the positive message of ‘caring for each other’ intact. Quite like those cute bears in greeting cards, right? As one of the first movies based directly on a toy line, this animated fantasy won the heart of many, while providing an enthralling experience for its young audience. You can enjoy it for the cute thrill it brings. | |
The Lego Movie, 2014

The film literally looks as if a LEGO set has come to life onscreen – and in this case, 3D viewing is a MUST. Each shot is stuffed with so much visual information and hidden gags that repeat viewings will be worth your while, as well. This movie will appeal to kids and adults alike as script is as good as the direction. If you have not watched it yet, please do. It is a zestful, frantic, fast-paced, visually wonderful sensory overload experience that brings together so many characters and icons from history. Let’s not forget that it all started off as a tiny 2x4 plastic brick. You might end up buying building blocks right after you watch this flick. They are anyway a very important learning tool and kid’s most favorite one too! | |
