Yes I’m aware this is like the 4th movie review in a row. We’ll work on that.

So I’m here to talk to you today about two great animated movies that I saw recently. They’ve been out of theaters for awhile but I missed both of their theater runs and have been meaning to check them out. If you’re like me, you love a funny animated movie (Toy Story is the bee’s knees).

First off is the movie UP. This movie has a fantastic story and was actually pretty emotionally moving for a funny little cartoon. The voices are fantastic and the character animation is quirky and painstakingly realistic (check out the shadows, absolutely unreal). This is actually worth purchasing if you ask me, and makes for  a great group movie. I won’t give anything away, but you will want a dog translator and a balloon house after watching this one.

Next is Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. This movie had the randomness of a Family Guy episode mixed with enough one liners and laugh out loud absurdity to make it nearly Shrek-worthy. Not as much depth of story as UP but definitely just as fun. Plus, MR. T does one of the voices.

Both of these movies get a “Rent It” since they aren’t in theaters, but pretend that it’s a “See It” and a “Rent It” combined.
