Best Children's Films of 2009

DVD and Blu-ray on the children's best 2009

As the parents of a 6-year-old, I spent a good time in theaters this year and we have seen most if not all of the most important film for children published in 2009. Therefore, I thought it might be useful to give you my brief reviews and opinions about what are the best children's or family movies of 2009, will be the Christmas for purchase on DVD or Blu-ray. I would in my view to see the mother andthe prospect of my son as if he liked it or not, and if I think that will be available for demonstrations to repeat at home.

These are not in chronological order, I'm just using it as coming from me:

1. Marley and Me

Marley and Me is a strange movie. In fact, I would go as far as saying it was a parallel two films that were smart, they both worked. on the one hand, and I was Marley, a film for people of middle age or approaching the post mid-lifeCrisis. He has worked on issues such as men to lose their independence, if a new relationship, the difficulties of juggling work and personal life, as well as issues relating to children and families. I must say I have addressed these issues very well and when you become a movie, I thought it was good enough and Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston were both excellent. However, Marley was the movie, marketed as family goofball comedy of a big dumb dog. My son and I had seen theTrailer for the film, as well as other feature film (can not remember who, exactly, but probably the likes of Hotel for Dogs, and Monsters vs. Aliens - see below). The trailer focuses on the crazy antics of the dog and its owner. In reality, what you get is the question of adult education, as explained above, intertwined with Marley is the constant relationship of the couple and everything is going well until the last half hour when oh my God, it makes a ofthe most shocking and heartbreaking films ever, including Kes seem an episode of Dancing on Ice. Marley is old and sick. Finally, it must be put to sleep. This is bad enough, you think, unless it is not. It 'a lot worse. They are forced to every family member to give his heart breaking farewell to his old friend to see how he loses the fight for survival, which ends with Wilson, there is administered when the lethal injection to put Marley to sleep. And she did not evenStop there - you despair of all children read their eulogies to the dead in the hours Marley family burial for the poor dog. My son was in tears (like most of the audience) and was actually very angry at the fact that the movie was so sad. I never met him I could see it was really like and felt very guilty for having forced him to bear, together with difficult issues like death for children. Amateur psycho-analysisaside, I'd say that's definitely not a film for young children. I do not know if it's a film for older children, adolescents.

Therefore, the assessment (of ten):

Dads Score: 8 Assessment Children: an ability to look repetition: 2 average: 3.6 out of 10

Worth buying Marley and Me Children's Christmas present? Absolutely not. (But is it worth to buy for dad!).

Marley and Me is based on a book with the same name of the course (and there are other books in the series Marley) and the book is also basedworth it.

2. Hotel for Dogs.

Hotel Bau is a far better record. A pair of teenage orphans in foster families are forced to take extreme measures if your dog needs a place to stay. Hai (played excellently but) they are hiding from their parents in terrible promote and execute a grand old hotel into disuse (of course, wanted to see before you get the building boom of the 1990s, when every inch of free floor vacuum seemed to be transformed into 20 apartments ). I do not want to ruinStory for you, but it was the two children, their social worker, her adoptive parents, and a great selection of dogs and children from the shelter (and destruction) by means of other children in the workplace to save pet Local Store. It 's a really good movie and one of our favorites this year. We have actually seen the film twice and I had no problem with me!

Therefore, the assessment (of ten):

Dads Score: 9 rating children: 9 ability to look Repeat: 7 Average: 8.3 out10.

Worth hotel purchase for dogs of Christmas presents for children? Absolutely.

3. G-Force

G-Force recently came in two 3-D and 2-D versions. I'm sorry to see our local cinema does not support 3-D so we ended up looking normal. I must admit that I was on G-Force is a lot of good skeptical. We had the trailer, which seemed as much fun, but I felt it might be a bit 'as a one trick pony. Fortunately, I was wrong. G-Force traces the exploits of a group oftrained guinea pigs (hence the G), together with a mole techno-genius, which is covered by (of course), the government scientist, a bit 'eccentric but brilliant payrolled. When the government "FBI" to choose to end its financing, the coach is desperate to get his team to solve a serious crime in progress. Once again, I will not spoil the story, but it's very funny, with excellent characterization and good person as well. Very nice.

Thus, the rating for the movie G-Force (fromof ten):

Dads Score: 8 Assessment children: 9 ability to look Repeat: 7 Media: 8 out of 10

Worth buying G-Force as a Christmas gift for kids? YES. We also have the game for the PSP, which is very good. I can not comment on other formats, but the odds are equally valid. Po 'difficult for very young children, however.

4. Aliens in the attic.

They Came from Upstairs was another summer release. It has aliens landing on Earth in a "meteor showers" in a houseHolidays with two families with a mischievous friend in tow with a device used to humans as remote control devices. And that's, uh, really on it. It 'been a slow start and was in fact something of a one trick pony. It seemed strange Internet Back in September when it would try to cut hair, they say that a type of ET place in film history (children with Activision video game t-shirts, etc., and Retro), although obviously it was presented in a way not just beSet in the year 1970. Not really work for us. We both got bored very quickly. The story was poor, and the aliens were like Little Frog crazy annoying.

So, voting for the aliens in the attic (ten):

Dads score: 3 rating children: three ability Re-watch: 3 average: 3 out of 10

Buy as a Christmas gift for children worth? Absolutely not, in our opinion.

5. Monsters vs. Aliens

Monsters vs. Aliens was another film in 3-D and came back, we can not see itin 3-D. E 'characterized by large beautiful animated characters and basically three "monster" that had been parked in a government laboratory science (including one lady who was hit by a meteor impact on their marriage, which in "Ginormica" shot the suicide of a woman transformed into a massive high - all in proportion, was not an attack of cake). They were destroyed in a last ditch effort, a large foreign body that the military had sent to conquer with unconventional weapons. Re-plotSpoiler withheld. However, it was a good fun romp, well made and enjoyable enough. However, I did not think that would have lasted so well to repeated visions. E 'was definitely worth seeing once, but I do not think he would have gotten hammered in our home DVD player.

So, voting for Monsters vs. Aliens (ten):

Dads Score: 7 children score: 8 ability to look Repeat: 5 average: 6.6 out of 10.

E 'Monsters vs. Aliens penalty as a Christmas gift for children? Maybe(But it's definitely worth seeing again). More than one means that a no! There are also many Monsters vs. Aliens toys when your cuddling were particularly impressed by the previous film.

7. Up!

Up! is the last of the Disney Pixar stable, and we were lucky enough to preview a couple of tickets to see the whole movie in Leicester Square D 3 in a few months ago. E 'beautifully animated (computer graphics course) and 3-D was effective, but probably notessential in my opinion. It 's a beautiful story of a man who will put in institutions. After working as a balloon seller and his wife as a young man, decides to embark on a final voyage to find a place (Paradise Falls somewhere in South America), they had to visit both, as small children dream, but never turn up . It starts the morning of his departure for the nursing home with the introduction of thousands of helium filled balloons attached to his houseraises and in the direction of adventure. Once airborne, he discovers a young "Scout" refers to Kevin, who had been away on his porch, at the time of life, and the two of them, and bond with their adventures. It 's a beautiful film, but I could not shake the feeling that this is a little something missing history. A lot of times the story is not very successful, mostly, and I felt it would be a bit 'deeper, or have, although I can not put myFinger on why this is so.

So, voting for Up! (Ten):

Dads Score: 9 rating children: 9 ability to look Repeat: 8 Average: 8.6 out of 10

On a purchase value! Christmas as a child? Absolutely.

8. Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

The third part of the Ice Age series, and I must admit, I was not sure what to expect. I thought that part was good, the second part was OK, but not very exciting. As it turned out, I had to be careful. Ice Age 3 has a storyline quite boringThat a search for a lost friend (Sid), which slipped by all she had usurped in the affections of a mammoth from the great mammoth imminent birth of their first child. Sid takes three children after a dinosaur over their eggs, but then his mother, takes care of them is kidnapped. Sid is a prehistoric dinosaur jungle done, and others (of course) and then find it all again. I'm not sure why it did not work for us, but it did not. SoIt is aimed at children, but it was predictable and rather boring. There are some funny parts, but the fight between Sid and his new girl on an acorn was fun for 5 minutes, but seemed to pop up every 10 throughout the film.

Therefore, the assessment (of ten):

Dads Score: 5 children score: 6 repetition ability to look: 3 Average: 4.6 out of 10.

Buy as a Christmas gift for children worth? No, unless your children all in the film Ice Age. This is my round off the topChildren's Films of 2009.
