"The Fantastic Mr. Fox" starring George Clooney, is possibly one of the most boring animated films I have ever seen. I couldn't wait for it to finish. "Mr. Fox" is the story of a thieving fox that steals food from farmers (right up Hollywood's alley). When the farmers figure out what is transpiring and try to kill Fox and his cohorts, they flee underground. Much more could have been done with this film that was adapted from a children's novel, as the movie was dull and the animation chintzy.

Movie Review - Ice Age 3

"Ice Age 3" is the animated film about a couple of elephants preparing for the birth of their newborn that is on the way. Other animals in their pride help as well. However, Sid, a sniveling, trouble prone animal in the pride, who is a friend of elephants, gets broody and decides to steal the eggs of another, wanting to be a parent as well (he must be related to Madonna snatching people’s kids like that).

Little does Sid know, he stole dinosaur eggs and the mother, a Tyrannosaurus, was coming after him with a vengeance. Sid brings terrible trouble on the entire herd with his act of theft in disturbing the Tyrannosaurus and her set. "Ice Age 3" was an engaging film that many kids found entertaining. In short, if you have kids, this movie will keep them relatively quiet for 94 minutes.
