Cartoons!

Saw the trailers for the 'new' Charlotte's Web and made me wanna watch it. So I went to HMV and bought the cartoon that I loved as a child. And it is still 'T double E double R R double I double F double I double C!' The animation is not swanky since it was done in the 70s but I remember the story and the cartoon still so well - Templeton the Rat and Charlotte the blue eyed spider and how Templeton can make leftover junk circus food look like a 'smorgasbord' of yummy food haha! Goes to show a great story doesn't need fancy modern technology to tell it well. I also want to watch this - it looks fun! Shall go buy the VCD later! Imagine - dancing penguins - that should be a real hoot!

Two brilliant animated features that if you haven't seen it, you should totally! I saw the below two flicks in the plane - Hooray for inflight entertainment- and both are brilliant. I think adults might enjoy them more than children coz the jokes are dark but the execution is good. Monster House is even 'scary' at some point. The characters are really likable and spout some really killah funny lines!

Hoodwinked is about - according to the movie tagline - 'the true story of Little Red Riding Hood' who by the way, in this movie kicks ass and is a karate chopping kungfu kiddo. Hoodwinked seems to have gone under the radar a bit coz the animation is not as pretty as most Disney Pixar flicks but the story line is very enjoyable and is really quite funny. Your typical 'good triumph over evil' storyline told in a way I haven't quite seen before in an animated feature!
