“Coco” bursts with color and life, just like we might expect of a film by Pixar Animation Studios. After some not-so-impressive films lately, “Coco” brings back the originality and attention to detail exhibited last by “Inside Out.”

“Wonder” is a delightful new film adapted from the novel of the same name by R. J.  Palacio by writer-director Stephen Chbosky. “Wonder” is the story of August “Auggie” Pullman (Jacob Tremblay), a normal 5th grader in almost every way. Almost.

“The Star” is a wonderful retelling of the Christmas story but with a fun twist: the animals who inhabit the story drive the action.

The story behind the beloved Christmas tale, "A Christmas Carol" is told in this wonderful film for the whole family.

The new biopic by Simon Curtis, "Goodbye Christopher Robin," joins other films (including the coming-soon "The Man Who Invented Christmas") about authors, giving us the story behind the most popular children’s books in the English language, Winnie the Pooh.

The silliness continues in the latest zany adventure for Gru and the Minions. But, this time, he’s joined by his long-lost twin brother, Dru.

Pixar's latest film, "Cars 3," brings back our favorite race car, Lightning McQueen, for another turn around the track. When younger, faster cars start winning, he has to re-evaluate his racing. Cruz Ramierez becomes his new trainer but she considers him "old school." He might be old school but he still has something to give.

I have to confess that I really enjoyed the antics of George and Harold, having been one of those kids who giggled whenever there was a bit of flatulence.

Please, go see “Gifted.” It may not be a perfect movie (the court scenes are too long) and unapologetic about manipulating your emotions but the giftedness celebrated in the story is well worth it.

There are spoilers here but I am assuming you are older than seven if you are reading this and won't mind or care. Besides if I can't write about the whole movie this would be a really, really short review.If the spoilers really matter to you, please stop reading now.Everything is going well in Smurf Village, where the all-male, blue Smurfkind folk live together in harmony in a village under the leadership of the overprotective Papa Smurf (Mandy Patinkin) and alongside the only girl Smur...
