Honorable Mentions…
Love & Monsters
A very wholesome, sweet and simplistic movie, executed perfectly. This movie is easy to watch and even easier to fall in love with. Seven years after the monsterpocalypse, Joel decides to fellow a dangerous terrain in the name of love. A movie about a boy and his dog journey, making friends along the way and running away from scary monsters. The movie seamlessly blends humor, heart, and a great message about facing your fears.
Over the Moon
Children's movie that addresses dark themes of loss, as the main character loses her mother at a young age. The film centers around how she copes with grief. The animation is vivid and beautiful, although the music feels AI generated. The relationship between the two main characters, Fei Fei and Chin, is heartwarming and ultimately showcases the power of sibling bonds. It's a movie I don’t mind watching over and over again with Charlotte.
