Review by Anipota
I am glad you are here. The story was full of warmth and love not only for Baymax's relationship with Hiro, but also for all the characters. There was action and the pace was good, so I think children will enjoy watching it! But it was not a messy action movie, it was warm and fuzzy. There was laughter, thrills, and a natural feeling of warmth and happiness. The Japanese backgrounds are also very nice, and I was fascinated by the cherry blossoms and the sunset! (Male, in his 20s)

I saw this movie in a movie theater and was amazed at the precision of the background. I think the content of the movie can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The ending story by AI was good and matched with the movie, and the inserted song during the movie was also cool. (Male, in his 20s)

Review comments on Anipota
I am not interested in Disney, but even I was drawn in by this movie. Needless to say, the songs are wonderful. Each lyric was heartfelt and the production was just wonderful. I get tired when I watch long films, but I was able to watch it all the way through without getting bored. There were so many wonderful songs that I couldn't help but hum along. I loved the way Elsa changed. (30s female).

My 9 year old daughter, 7 year old daughter, and 4 year old son begged me to buy the DVD and watch it. I bought the DVD and watched it. ), and a wonderful animated film that was also very moving. The kids loved it, of course, but adults can enjoy it too. (Male, 40s)

Anipota Review Comments
This is a story about the world of video game characters in a video game arcade. I think the content is for children. The main focus is on the world of cars + sweets. The characters are many and unique. I like the lively and fun atmosphere. The main characters are original games only in this movie, but there are also familiar characters that actually exist in the movie. (30s female)

Frankenweenie

≪Synopsis.

Unable to accept his death, Victor decides to use the "electricity experiment" he learned in science class to bring Sparky back to life without telling his family... Sparky comes back to life as a "flan dog (Ken)" with a lot of splints. However, he walks out of the house unaware that he is "dead," and Victor's classmates see his "impossible" appearance. The children who learn of Victor's idea revive their pets and animals one after another, and soon the town is in turmoil....

Review by AniPota
It is a black and white movie. The eyes are giddy. It is a zombie movie. It is scary.
If you like Tim Burton's masterpiece "The Nightmare Before Christmas," you'll have no trouble getting into it. In fact, I think Sparky looks rather cute. If I had a plush toy like this, I would probably buy it.

■Bolt

≪Synopsis/Highlight.
While playing the hero of a popular TV drama, Bolt, a dog who has never known the world outside the studio, believes that the world of the drama is reality. This film depicts Bolt's first experience in the outside world and how he grows up. Not only dogs, but anyone who has ever owned a pet will surely be fascinated by this film.

AniPota review comments
This is a work that dog lovers will not be able to resist. The main character, Bolt, is well portrayed with his lovable and lovable nature that you can't hate. My dog was dubbed as my favorite dog, which made me love him even more. All the animals in Disney's works are lovable and can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. (Male)

■Zootopia

Review by Anipota
I missed seeing this movie at the cinema, so I bought the BD and watched it. The production staff said that it had been a long time since they had made an animal character wearing clothes, but if you think about it, isn't an animal wearing clothes something that is the exclusive domain of Disney? The type of clothing is also changed according to the type of animal, and the character's personality and even the characteristics of the animal are expressed in great detail. I always look forward to seeing the BD bonus videos of Disney and Pixar animations. I think behind-the-scenes production and staff interviews are interesting. (30s)

■Remy's Delicious Restaurant

Review by Ani-Pota
I get goosebumps just looking at a mouse. If you are not like that, I highly recommend you to watch this movie. It is a movie about a rat in a restaurant... but that thought will blow away while watching it. You won't mind at all. I think this is the best Pixar film. Looks are not important. (undisclosed)
