Inside Out is definitely one of the most original animated films of recent times - there are very few films with such an idea and execution. I liked the portrayal and behaviour of the individual emotions, each of which had something to it. In fact, the entire content of (not only) Riley's head was thought out with the greatest amount of imagination, from long-term memory, to imagery, to forgetting. The film managed to evoke both "joy" and "sadness" in me during those ninety minutes, which just goes to show that there is no sadness in life without joy, and vice versa. After all, the remaining emotions (Fear, Anger and Disgust) are part and parcel of each of us and it is important to keep them in balance. The funniest scenes were the dream factory, the insight into other people's heads, and the recurring Triple Dent commercial, while the line with Bing Bong managed to really move and rode a rather sadder wave. All in all, this is a very well done piece of animation and storytelling that rightfully deserves both thumbs up, while managing to appeal to audiences of all ages.

An enjoyable hour-long stroll through the Hundred Acre Wood, were we meet old familiar characters trying to find both Eyeore’s tail and Christopher Robin, who is supposed to be in the clutches of an unknown "monster". I really liked the interaction between the characters (especially Pooh) and the narrator with the book, which was quite imaginative. I've never really been a fan of these characters, but this was such an innocent outlet that also included some nice songs. In short, an animated that will be appreciated most by the youngest audience, but adults won't be bored with it either.

A pleasant and easygoing movie from the 1980s that mixes crime with comedy and a touch of romance, all dominated by Hooch, a massive Dogue de Bordeaux who destroys and drools on everything around it. The cast was likable and the plot moved along nicely. All in all, an average film suitable for a free afternoon that is perfect for the whole family, as there is something for every member.

I came across this Asian fantasy film by complete accident and I have to say it wasn't that bad at all. I'll probably never get used to the typically Asian way of acting, which is a bit too affected at times, but so be it. As far as the technical workmanship goes, it was watchable despite the visual effects being weaker in places – I've certainly seen worse. What irritated me the most was the henchman who was slowly becoming a demon, otherwise I didn't mind any of the actors in any significant way (aside from the sometimes unnatural acting). A fantasy piece from a slightly different part of the world than we are used to, but all the more reason to recommend it for viewing.

An animated short that is in many ways similar to Fresh Guacamole, which is three years younger and has the same creator. I liked the idea itself, where a perfectly simple dish is prepared from different looking "ingredients".

An imaginatively conceived animated short in which guacamole is prepared from truly unusual ingredients. I liked the transitions between the ingredients (e.g. the dice ball).

A clash of two worlds – slug and human – in a humorously conceived animated short featuring an "epic battle" to the death. More than once during those five minutes, I was reminded of holidays spent at my grandmother's house, who also mercilessly salted the slugs that ate her vegetables.

The three-minute ad for (mainly) Prada's leather jackets, which features big names such as Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley, is nicely done at first glance in terms of interior design, music and costumes, but somehow doesn't say much (maybe just - "Prada suits everyone."). I'd rather have the "Blue Velvet" music video for H&M with Lana Del Rey.

I had heard a lot of things about this film from various sources, but I delayed watching it for a long time, as I suspected that it would push a lot of emotions, since the main themes are young people suffering from serious illnesses, so it was to be expected that there would be a grim reaper hanging around. In the end, it's a kind of bittersweet film where on the one hand you watch the characters enjoying the time they have left, while on the other hand there is the presence of impending death, which unfortunately is not a choice. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but I can still recommend this film. In short, a film that shows the fact that serious illness and death are not a matter of the older generation alone, and that it is important to enjoy every day to the fullest.

Love, Rosie is an incredibly sweet film, featuring a supremely likeable cast, which on the one hand comes across as incredibly romantic, while on the other hand there is more of a bittersweet tinge, with the viewer (or at least me) anxiously watching the whole time to see how the plot will unfold, and if everything will turn out as it should (or should have). I enjoyed seeing how the two main characters evolved, and where their life paths led them. All in all, a nice film that both puts a smile on your face and brings a tear to your eye.
