 Lionsgate, 2020. It's hard to believe a movie like "Four Kids and It" was ever meant for the big-screen pre-pandemic. This is as throw-away as they come, probably better suited for a DVD bargain bin in a grocery store, let alone a streaming platform. But at least it's harmless.
 Disney+, 2020. Originally intended for a mid-Summer blockbuster theatrical release, the family-friendly adventure "Artemis Fowl" finds its way to Disney+ this weekend.
Review: 'Sonic the Hedgehog' races right past all other video game movies, against all odds2/13/2020  Paramount Pictures, 2020. Expectations were not exactly high heading into the "Sonic the Hedgehog" movie. But I fell - fast - for his first big-screen adventure.
 Universal Pictures, 2020. Take my film critic credentials and throw them in the ocean. "Dolittle" is not good...it's quite bad in fact. Still, there's worse ways to spend a weekend afternoon with the kiddies. A glowing endorsement, right?
 Walt Disney Pictures, 2019. Despite being crushed by critics, the newest version of Disney's "The Lion King" is anything but soulless. Let me explain.
 Disney/Pixar, 2019. The gang is back for another adventure, but is "Toy Story 4" worthy of its predecessors, or should Pixar put a fork in it?
 Universal Pictures, 2019. What's there to say about a movie like this? Kids will like it, adults probably won't. Even so, the money it's set to make for Universal will rain in like...well...cats and dogs.
 A whole new world? Hardly. The new, completely unnecessary live-action re-make of Disney's animated classic, "Aladdin" should have stayed bottled up.
 Disney, DisneyNature, 2019. The latest film from Disneynature, "Penguins" waddles into theaters just in time for Earth Day.
