Lamya's Poem has some nice passages of animation but it's strength is in its story which is new and surprising.

Mulan
(2020)
|
Rachel Wagner
|
It's on one-hand a harmless film and not offensively awful, but it does not live up to its potential, and makes a lot of thoroughly weird decisions.

Even with its flaws, Zombies 2 does what it needs to do. It has a positive message with a charismatic cast and energetic musical performances.

If you are looking for a babysitter for you child 'Leo Da Vinci: Mission Mona Lisa' has enough adventure to entertain them but it won't have much cross-over appeal to adults.
