Open Your Heart to Open Season

Advantages: The minor characters are really quite funny
Disadvantages: The plot is formulaic and the main characters aren't as funny as they think they are.

I personally think that The Lion King most certainly deserves its title as one of the highest grossing movies in Disney Cinema. It is a movie that I particularly appreciate because of it clearly differs from the other Disney films that ...
...appreciated all over because of the wide rage of thematic elements that it offers, and also because of the originality in which Disney managed to convey many strong emotions and quite a few moral lessons for children.

Fully Entertainment

Advantages: Surprising, Adventurouse, Entertaining, and good animation.
Disadvantages: Dialogues are not that much clear according to the small kids.

Harry Potter is filled with full of adventure , action and mind blowing animations. When you once start watching it you will not get up even for pee. Becuase it contains lots of surprising events which raises your hair. Interesting is that Harry Potter is a very courageouse kid and his friends really remains with them till the end. Watching this movie is really money value movie. Regarding character of the movie and the story line, its amazing. ...
...The Hobbit and a witch in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. I also think that the emphasis on magic is different than its use in the book “A Wrinkle in Time”. If you found those themes objectionable in the Harry Potter books—they are very convincing in the film. ...
