Meet the Robinsons
Starring: Daniel Hansen, Jordan Fry, Tom Selleck, Stephen Anderson, Wesley Singerman, Matthew Josten, Angela Bassett
Duration: 1 hour, 35 minutes
Rating: G
​
Summary: A 12 year-old orphaned inventor named Lewis (Daniel Hansen/Jordan Fry/Tom Selleck) is confronted by a boy named Wilbur (Wesley Singerman) who claims to be from the future, and warns Lewis of a mysterious time-traveling stranger he calls Bowler Hat Guy (Stephen Anderson) who threatens to ruin the advanced, picturesque, future that Wilbur talks about. To stop this from happening, he takes Lewis to the future to fix a time machine and stop Bowler Hat Guy. But why is Lewis so important to this future?....
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. It is a very good film, with a quality animation style that Disney has been lacking lately. It can be very confusing at times, but I suppose that is to be expected in a movie with time travel, and it all makes sense once you finish it.
Public Rating (Rotten Tomatoes): This film scored a 68% on the Tomatometer, which ranks it as a good movie, but not quite great. Overall, critics say that the visual effects are impressive, and that the story has depth, but others think the animation is lacking.

Superman (2025) by Carolina Rodriguez Garza
Superman (2025)
Starring: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan,
Nicholas Hoult
Duration: 2 hours, 9 minutes
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After interfering with a political conflict,
Superman (David Corenswet) is under attack from the
media. Suddenly, a newly uncovered recording raises
even more conflict about whether the Man of Steel is
who he claims to be. And little does Superman know,
Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is planning something big
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. Why? The plot was
masterfully woven, and the actors did a great job,
but throughout Marvel and D.C movies and comics,
Marvel superheroes face more public scrutiny,
whereas heroes such as Superman are beloved icons.
All in all, recommended, but maybe for older viewers.
Public Rating (Rotten Tomatoes): This movie scored an 83% on the Tomatometer, making it Certified Fresh, which for those of you who don’t know, means that 83% of the reviews were positive. Overall, Rotten Tomatoes says that this movie makes for an excellent blend of the classic Superman with a more modern outlook.
