Double Your Animated Fun

I've watched a couple of Animated movies with my kids lately.  So, I guess I should review them.

Toy Story 3"Toy Story 3":  The third, and I think final, movie in the "Toy Story" franchise from Pixar is my least favorite of the three movies.  With that said, it's still a good movie...4 stars.  Disney/Pixar has managed to bring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen back for three of these movies, and I have to say that I'm grateful for that.  Without the same vocal talent, it's just not the same movie.

In "Toy Story 3", Andy is off to college, and the toys are facing the reality of life ahead of them.  When they are mistakenly donated to a day care, the toys learn the harsh reality of life on the inside.  Can our heroes make it back to Andy in time?  Will they ever be played with again?  Well, you have to watch to find out.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil"Hoodwinked Too:  Hood vs. Evil":  My kids were really excited about this one.  We really liked the original "Hoodwinked", so my wife and I were looking forward to it as well.  Sadly, we were very disappointed.  "Hood vs. Evil" is only a 2 star movie.

For starters, Anne Hathaway is not back as the voice of Red, which really bugged me.  Hayden Pantierre is ok, but the change in voices just threw me.  Secondly, it just felt like the producers/directors were just going for cheap laughs rather than any substance.  Finally, the story just wasn't that good.  Everything just fell really flat with "Hood vs. Evil."
