Toy Story 3 is a farewell to childhood, which goes sooner or later. Those who do not forgive it, in fact have no mind, but who do not regret it in fact have no heart. But in general, despite of the entourage and toy scene, "Pixar" made not "Another Child Movie" (not including plug-in shorts in the "Up") but its most serious work of the career. Children watch and laugh, because they see something of them, but only adults understand the true meaning of this movie. Old toys, then do not even the actors here, they are no cloudy reproach for us, callous, cynical adults. Pixar told this story as it would not tell anyone else. The last thing remains is to watch it.

Megamind may become part of the film-schools' curriculum, because it proves two principles of animated film artisanship: First, as Roger Ebert emphasizes in his review of "Megamind," animation is "incomparably more suited for 3D than live action is." Second, excellent actors bring their on-screen avatars to life, adding depth and the "It" quality to a story and characters that, without the talents behind them, would barely earn a B-minus. Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Brad Pitt literally and figuratively "make" this movie, and they drove it to number one at the box office for two weeks during the autumn of 2010."Based on the clever premise that a villain needs a hero to inspire his greatest evil doing, "Megamind" shows the world's most notorious and least successful villain feeling depressed and uninspired. "Megamind," clearly acknowledged as a criminal genius but just as clearly incompetent at carrying out his schemes, inadvertently has defeated his nemesis, "MetroMan," and the thrill is gone from evil-doing. Under the watchful eye of television reporter Roxanne Ritchi, Megamind creates Titan to cure his loneliness.

Aliens in the Attic seems not so much shocking, but very, very cute. First, the movie does not raise any issues that would be incomprehensible to viewers' of primary and secondary school age: blasters, bad grades, the first conflicts with parents, the aliens, finally: these are all understandable to any child threads and they are given without any unnecessary subtexts and contexts. The one thing is the Pearson daughter's boyfriend too often being hit by different things in the nuts, but these are nuances. Everything else is so consistent of children's fiction and deserves the respect, especially in the times of the genre mixing.
