The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists! (2012)
If you’ve seen the trailer for this movie, another fine product from Aardman, then you already know exactly what to expect. A bunch of likeable pirates sail the seas, a jaunty soundtrack plays (including “Swords Of A Thousand Men”, which works wonderfully with the visuals over the...

First Squad (2009)
First Squad is an animated Russian/Japanese/Canadian co-production. The Russians provided the story and the Japanese provided the animation – what the Canadians did, I have no idea.

Legend Of The Millennium Dragon (2011)
In a way, I almost feel bad for a little movie like Legend Of The Millenium Dragon. It’s a perfectly adequate little movie and should please kids and undemanding fans of anime but it’s nothing special. Not everything has to be special, of course, but it certainly helps when competing in a...

Puss in Boots (2011)
When word first broke about the forthcoming release of Puss in Boots the news was met with much trepidation but very little surprise.
