Why watch this film?
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" may not be the best or most inventive Disney movie - no wonder it was nominated for a Razzie for Worst Picture to Gross over $100 million. However, it is unfair to say that this Disney animation is bad or forgettable. The main character brings a rare delicacy rarely seen in animations, especially combined with his dreams and physical limitations. The fanciful characters that surround him, such as the talking gargoyles, give the necessary childish flavor, helping to make the production dialogue with the whole family. In the end, it is certain that "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is not a great movie. But its intentions, its idea, its characters and its music should keep the viewer entertained, without tiring of this Disney production.

Beauty and the Beast
"Be our guest!", sings Lumiére in one of the most iconic moments of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Iconic, indeed, is a good adjective for this Disney animated feature, which went beyond the family audience and even won some Oscars and a nomination in the Best Film category. And it's no wonder. This fairy tale, set in a bucolic French village, is the apex of childhood dreams with princes and princesses. The music is well fitted, the romance is charming and the characters are memorable. In the end, it pleases all kinds of audiences. Children are enchanted by the magic that surrounds the story, adults fall in love and everyone leaves the movie singing the beautiful songs sprinkled throughout the feature. To have fun and get emotional.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
"Atlantis: The Lost Empire" is the most underrated Disney animation. After all, the feature film excites with the journey of misfit characters, easily charming to the audience, who try to find out what lies behind the myth of the lost city of Atlantis. A mix of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Waterworld", the exciting "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" almost meets all the requirements that a good animation needs to have: good characters, interesting plot, well-defined focus, a romance to make you sigh. It may have some flaws, but you can't ignore Milo's journey, with voice work by Michael J. Fox ("Back to the Future").
Bobbleheads: The Movie
Bobbleheads the Movie is a movie for very young children that explores bobbleheads - those toys with an exaggeratedly large head connected to the body by a spring, which bobble around a lot. Despite the lack of resources being apparent in the poorly defined animation and overly simplistic plot, the movie features voice work from stars such as Cher, Jennifer Coolidge and Luke Wilson. The story follows these toys as they must defend their home from invaders when their owners leave the house. It's simple and silly, but it has the potential to elicit some good laughs from the little ones.
Drama
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
