The story opens with several familiar faces from the original expedition returning: Vinny the demolition expert, Audrey the mechanic, Mole the geologist, Dr Sweet the medical officer, Cookie the cook, Mrs Packard the radio operator, and Preston Whitmore, the elderly explorer. They arrive in Atlantis to warn that strange forces are causing trouble on the surface. The team sets out on three different adventures, travelling to Norway, the American Southwest, and the cold Nordic mountains. Each journey brings a new threat that appears to be link ed to Atlantean legends. 1. “The Kraken” – Norway’s Sea Monster The story’s first big adventure takes the group to Norway’s coast, where a huge sea monster called the Kraken is sinking freighters. At first, the team thinks it could be another ancient Atlantean war machine, similar to the Leviathan from the first film. After their ship is attacked, the group lands in a foggy village on a cliff. The magistrate, Edgar Volgud, appears oddly ageless and...

Animated movies made for children  are  often dismissed as simple entertainment, colourful distractions, designed to keep young minds occupied. Yet, beneath the humour, fast-paced action, and playful animation, many of these films wrestle with the questions that adults themselves struggle to answer: who am I? What gives life meaning? Why do some people succeed while others are left behind?  Megamins is one such film. Clever, humorous, and surprisingly profound, it flips the traditional superhero story on its head and invites viewers to reflect on identity, morality and purpose.  The story begins with two infants sent to Earth from another planet. One lands in a loving home, admired, celebrated and adored. He becomes Metro Man - strong, handsome, and universally praised. The otherchild is not so fortunat...

This film is not only about survival — it is about determination, courage, faith, and patience in the face of difficult and perilous times. It invites viewers to reflect on resilience and hope amid life’s storms—a lesson that personally captivated me and resonates with anyone navigating adversity. The movie opens with a dramatic scene: an Oviraptor attacks, forcing an Iguanodon mother to abandon her nest, leaving only one egg. The egg is carried away by the attackers and eventually lands on an island inhabited by lemurs. The lemurs, torn between fear and compassion, witness the egg hatch. Yar, the father of the lemur family, warns, “Things like that grow up to eat things like us.” H...

Heart-moving, beautiful story of the Circle of Life. It takes place in the African forest. Mufassa is the king of the jungle. He has a beautiful family and a lovely boy called Simba. He is loved and respected by every animal in the jungle, and he eventually teaches his son Simba to live in peace and harmony with all creatures. This reminds me of the beautiful passage in Isaiah, which prophesied about peace on earth when the Messiah reigns: "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened animal together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the ...

Ratatouille is a beautiful story about Remy, a rat with an extraordinary passion for food. He delights in mixing flavours and proudly displays his refined palate to his family. And yet, for all his connoisseurship, Remy is still a rat - and occasionally does very ratty things.  Sadly, during a food hunt in an old lady's house, he and his entire family are shot at and forced to flee. They run amok, climb over the roof, escape through the sewers, and use several bits of rubbish as makeshift rescue boats to float away. In the process, Remy parted ways with his father and all his friends. Alone and nowhere to go, he found comfort in a book he stole from the old lady's house - Gusteau's recipe book that he read with passion. He certainly does not find it hard to memorise everything he reads. Coincidence - or twist...

In a culture that celebrates brute strength and dragon slaying, he is small, clumsy, and more inclined to invent than to fight. Like the young shepherd David standing befo...
