Trailer
Why watch this film?
One of the most iconic Disney-Pixar animations. Here, director Pete Docter ('Inside Out', 'WALL-E') plays with the "reality" of monsters. Nothing to scare children just to scare. The scream, in fact, is the source of energy in this world where furry and one-eyed monsters live in harmony. The funniest, however, is the relationship between Mike, Sullivan and the little girl Boo, who enters this parallel reality because of a fault of the monster duo. There are emotional moments, others desperate. But 'Monsters, Inc.' is, in its essence, a fun adventure that teaches the audience to respect differences and always look to the "other side". In addition, it is impossible not to keep Sullivan, Mike, Rose, Boo, George and other monsters in the heart.

Inside Out
One of Pixar's most creative and interesting films, turning emotions into characters, and building a movie that works as a metaphor for puberty and, why not say, depression. It's one of those feature-lengths that not only entertains children, but adults too—learning some lessons from the story. An instant classic, that deserved the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
Soul
It's no exaggeration to say that 'Soul' is one of the best films of the 2020-2021 movie season (albeit hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic) and of Pixar's history. With a lot of heart, the feature brings a huge lesson about how we face life, the ordinary and the flame that motivates us to move forward. The aesthetics complement the script impeccably, with a beautiful construction of the real world and an extremely inspired visual for the afterlife - rescuing concepts from modernist architecture of yesteryear. All this accompanied by an impeccable soundtrack, which is divided into two large parts: one with a cozy jazz that embraces us with its notes, and another with new-age inspiration, with the music dialoguing in a surprising way with what we see on screen. All this further elevates the fact that this is the first Pixar animation with an African-American protagonist - something that, although it took a long time to happen, was done with great mastery. Total merits of director Peter Docter (of 'Inside Out' and CCO of Pixar) and producer Dana Murray. Even released directly on streaming due to closed cinemas, 'Soul' was qualified for the Oscar and won the Best Original Score and Best Animated Film awards. Deserved.

10 Lives

Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp
After getting kicked out of the forest, Woody thinks he’s found a forever home at Camp Woo Hoo — until an inspector threatens to shut down the camp.
Robot Dreams
Sometimes we get so carried away by the marketing power of studios like Disney Pixar, and we overlook other avenues for deep and powerful animated stories that don't need excessively complex plots to evoke emotions. Such is the case with Robot Dreams, a Hispanic-French production directed by Pablo Berger (2012’s Snow White), based on the eponymous graphic novel by Sara Varon. Set in New York during the 80s, the story follows Dog, whose solitary life leads him to buy a robot for companionship. Their friendship grows, but an unfortunate day at the beach forces them to separate and long for the day of their reunion. Virtually without dialogue, with vibrant animation and a captivating visual language, the film tells a simple yet profoundly moving story about (curiously) human relationships and the course they take despite (or because of) accidents, fortuitous circumstances, and uncontrollable events that happen throughout life.
Masha and the Bear: Twice the Fun
Masha leaves the forest in pursuit of an adventure in the city, where she encounters many unexpected situations and surprises while attending a wedding, and later seeks to do everything in her power to save Christmas.
