I really like that this movie has clans which is something that is a huge part of Scotland's past and by having really common Scottish names it gave it more of a Scottish feel to the movie. Having a lead character in which doesn't want to be married off and wants to be her own person I think is a really key thing for people to watch and for children to know that it is okay ...

Film: The Incredibles 2 Year: 2018 Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure Directed By: Brad Bird Starring: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell About:  Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to care for the kids while Helen (Elastigirl) is out saving the world. Trailer:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qOzqD9Rms My Review: Having loved the first movie when I was younger and impatiently waiting for a sequel I was so excited when the second The Incredibles movie came out after 14 years! The film is about how a man is trying to bring back superhero's and make them legal again and has a plan for making it happen which is by using Elastagirl in order to save the lives of the public again and this time by showing the superhero's point of view by camera's in their suits. As this happens a new villain arrives called Screenslaver who would hypnotise people under their control! I personally loved this movie so much and enjoyed how before the movie there was a short m...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljk2YJ53_WI My Review: Going back to the first movie I ever fell in love with however haven't seen in years I decided to put on A Bugs Life which came out in 1998 when I was only 2/3 years old! As a favourite of mine when I was younger I was scared to watch this again in-case it didn't live up to what I had remembered and loved. A Bugs Life is about an ant called Flik who after getting rid of all the food the ants collected for the grasshoppers goes out to try and find some warriors to try and help defeat them. However, when he recruits circus bugs he needs to come up with a new idea to stand up to the grasshopper...

Film: UP Year: 2009 Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy Starring: Edward Asner, Jordan Nagai, John Ratzenberger About:  Seventy-eight year old Carl Fredricksen travels to Paradise Falls in his home equipped with balloons, inadvertently taking a young stowaway. My Review: As a fan of animation films I wanted to watch one I hadn't seen in years and thought of the beautiful film of UP  so decided to buy the DVD and give it a watch. Hoping it would give me the same enjoyment as it did the first time I saw it. UP   is a movie about an old man named Carl who after his wife dies decides to do the one thing they promised to do together which is go to Paradise Falls. While going there however a young boy who is trying to become a senior wilderness adventurer ends up going with him by accident and ends up helping the old man get there as well as protecting a bird called Kevin. I think this is one of the most beautiful animated films I have ever seen with the beginni...
