My Take on the Movie

Transformers One delivers a fresh and powerful take on the origin story of two iconic characters, Optimus Prime and Megatron, showcasing a bond that makes their eventual rivalry even more impactful. This film offers what its live-action counterparts struggled to achieve: a compelling and emotional narrative, stellar animation, and a fully immersive world centered on Cybertron.

The fully CG-animated film boasts a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson, each bringing depth and authenticity to their roles. The movie knows how to balance humor and high-stakes action, delivering a well-paced, fun experience without sacrificing the gravity of the characters’ transformations. The action scenes themselves are creatively executed, keeping the audience on the edge of their seat as the robots shift from one form to another.

What sets Transformers One apart is its respect for the franchise’s legacy, combining Easter eggs for longtime fans with a storyline that feels both new and familiar. The portrayal of the brotherly relationship between Orion Pax and D-16 (Megatron) is particularly captivating, as it skillfully navigates the emotional terrain that would eventually lead to their heartbreaking fall into opposition. The film’s darker moments and mature themes further distinguish it, ensuring it resonates with audiences of all ages.

This film feels like a return to form for the Transformers series, one that balances nostalgia with innovation. It’s a must-watch for fans of the franchise, and even those not typically drawn to animated films will find themselves swept up in the story. While its marketing might not have done it justice, Transformers One proves that sometimes, a reboot done right can reinvigorate a beloved saga.

My Take on the Movie

We loved the first Secret Life of Pets and we wondered if this movie would be as much fun as the first movie. In watching this I have to say that it was as funny as the first in my opinion. There were some great new characters and you will find yourself laughing out loud (or at least I did) a number of times throughout the movie.

There are some great characters that are new to this movie, but there are also all of your favorites too. This was truly action packed and you will love seeing the growth that happens in the character of Max.

If you did not see this before, you should. If you have seen it before, definitely see it again!

Movie Review – Teen Titans Go! to the Movies

by

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies 3D

When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical superheroes in their first feature film extravaganza—a fresh, gleefully clever, kid-appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers. Get ready to LOL when “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital.

 

The first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series. Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) also lend their voices as the evil Slade and Hollywood director Jade Wilson.

 

Peter Rida Michail and Aaron Horvath directed the film from a screenplay by Michael Jelenic and Horvath, which is based on characters from DC. Horvath, Jelenic, Peggy Regan, Michail and Arnett produced the film with Sam Register serving as executive producer. The music is by Jared Faber. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

 

“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and DVD for $28.98. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features a Blu-ray disc with the film and special features in high definition, a DVD with the film in standard definition and a Digital version of the movie. Blu-ray special features are filled with music and fun, including the “DC Super Hero Girls: The Late Batsby” mini-movie, sing-a-longs, a hilarious look at the Teen Titans characters dubbing their favorite lines in other languages in “Teen Titans GO!: Translated” plus much more!

 

“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” will also be available on Movies Anywhere. Using the free Movies Anywhere app and website, consumers can access all their eligible movies by connecting their Movies Anywhere account with their participating digital retailer accounts.

Fans can also own “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” via purchase from digital retailers beginning October 9.

    • Storyboard Animatics: Time Cycles
    • The Final Battle

 

“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” Standard Definition DVD contains the following special features:

  • Storyboard Animatics: Time Cycles
  • The Final Battle

 

My Take on the Movie

I had watched many of the other Teen Titan cartoons in the past and as a comic fan and fan of the comic Teen Titans too. While the cartoon became quite a bit different than the comic. It brought in comedy and you get to see the Teen Titans in a way that was similar and a bit different than the original series.

This movie explores why the Titans and in specific, Robin, can’t get a movie made about him. The Titans realize that they need an archnemesis to be more popular. They get a chance to find popularity as they go up against Slade (a character that reminds me a bit of Deadpool). Slade quickly sees how inept the Teen Titans are and he takes advantage of this. The movie shows the Teen Titans as a bit of a joke and kind of anti-heroes.

Robin’s single focus is a bit of an issue as he leaves his friends, endangers others and more. By doing this he runs afoul of some of the major super heroes alsong with his friends too.

This movie was definitely funny and I will also complement the music as well.

Despite its silly plot, and the random feel of the movie, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a fun way to spend an hour an half. If you loved the Teen Titans cartoon from the past you will lov at a movie theater. It isn’t a masterpiece, but boy was it fun watching the Titans get into hilariously, stupid situations. Fans of comic book movies will love the homage this movie pays to the films of the genre, but casual viewers may find this movie super silly and totally illogical.

My Take on the Movie!

This is a great finale to an amazing series! You get a ton of episodes stuck onto one disc and my kids and I have had a blast watching (and re-watching) many of our favorite episodes thus far and I see this only continuing into the future as well. We love the characters in the series and this last season was an exciting, action packed one that I know we will never forget. We loved the whole series and are sorry that this was the finale but we are hoping there will be spin offs in the future! If you are a fan of Star Wars and this series, this is a must have season!

My Take on the Movie

My kids had noticed that a new rendition of the series I grew up with was on The Disney Channel recently and I have to say that I was intrigued. I had yet to watch the new series until I received this and now after watching this I have to say that I loved the new series! This DVD comes with a number of great episodes and really gives you a good feel for what the series has to offer. The series itself has some amazing cast members and they do a great job at making the series their own while still giving a head nod to the original series too. All of the characters were so much fun, but I will be a bit honest and say that I was excited to see what David Tennant would do with the character of Scrooge McDuck, and I was not disappointed! The series has action, mystery, humor and more and is great to watch as a whole family!

Zoobe Peanuts StoryGIF Brings Fun Peanuts Messages To Life!

by

peanuts

Zoobe Message Entertainment has confirmed both a partnership with Peanuts Worldwide and a launch of the new Peanuts StoryGIF app for iOS and Android. The app, released in late December, hit Apple’s Top 10 list almost immediately. Zoobe’s trendy app platform allows digital natives and early adopters across the globe to share in their love of this timeless property with socially shareable text-ready animations featuring Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy, Linus and more loveable characters from the iconic 66 year old property.  

 

Fans can choose from over 100 snarky-sweet Chuck & Friends images to create customizable, short movie messages for friends and family.  The Zoobe Peanuts StoryGIF works both from the home screen and inside the new iOS10 Messages app.  

 

“The Peanuts brand is a classic, with adorable characters and storylines,” said Naz Amarchi-Cuevas, CEO Zoobe.  “We know that fans are choosing to communicate via snack-sized text messaging, and pairing this experience with a top brand such as Peanuts allows us to entertain and delight.”

On October 2, 1950, three kids appeared on the funny pages of seven newspapers. Over the next 50 years, Charlie Brown, Patty and Shermy would be joined by a whole cast of characters that forever changed the landscape of the newspaper comics, becoming one of the most popular and influential in the history of the business, with nearly 18,000 strips published in all.  Today, the Peanuts gang are stars of some of the most beloved holiday children’s television specials of all time, featured in books, music, theme parks, and a wide variety of consumer products, and the hit 2015 feature film The Peanuts Movie, from Blue Sky Studios and Twentieth Century Fox.

 

Peanuts, Peanuts Winter and Peanuts New Years StoryGIF-packs just launched, Zoobe plans to add additional celebration-themed content for key times.  The Zoobe Peanuts StoryGIF app is available for both  iOS and Android for $.99.   

 

Additional Information:                                                             

 

My Take on the App

I have been trying out this app for myself and I can say that it is very easy to use. You can add up to five animated GIF and make them into one GIF that you can then share online or send to a friend or loved one. The application is fun and it seems that they are going to be continuing to add onto the amount of GIFs that are available for you to choose from which will make the application even more robust.
