“Kung Fu Panda 4”
It may be the weakest entry in the series, but the film still has enough “skadoosh” to bring enjoyment to kids and adults alike.
“Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget”
There’s a goofy charm to the look and feel of the project that should delight animation fans, but this sequel lacks the playful inventiveness and breezy wit of the original.
“The Boy and the Heron”
The level of artistry is masterful, but the storytelling is frustrating, confusing, and lacks structure.
“Leo”
There are some sweet moments and decent messages here, but the story lacks heart and soul: both of which are desperately needed.
“Trolls Band Together”
This perky , quality animated sequel delivers a big, bubbly dose of sunshine, happiness, and is a surefire cure for the winter blues.
