Trailer
Why watch this film?
Disney has already spoken about various cultures in its animations. The Chinese ('Mulan'), the Hawaiian ('Moana') and the Greek in 'Hercules'. Although it dives into the mythology of Ancient Greece, with the gods who helped shape the culture and religion as we know it today, it is interesting to observe this different look from the studio on a theme already so explored - the myth of Hercules, after all, has already won almost a dozen costumes in the movies. Obviously, here the Mickey Mouse studio follows a colorful and musical path, with some of the most creative and interesting characters from the studio. There is no sensitivity of 'Beauty and the Beast', nor the impact of 'Cinderella', for example. But 'Hercules', still, is one of those movies that leave you with a smile on your face, remembering the good ideas of the plot and humming the songs that accompany this so well-known, but creative story.

The Princess and the Frog
If you're a fan of classic Disney animations, from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' to 'The Little Mermaid', this is another must-see classic. 'The Princess and the Frog' is not only inspired by the Brothers Grimm's 'The Frog Prince', but it also marked the studio's brief return to traditional animation techniques. It's also a much more inclusive and appropriate fairy tale for contemporary sensibilities.
Treasure Planet
"Treasure Planet" might be the most underrated and underappreciated Disney movie. Initially aimed at television and VHS and DVD markets, the animation was eventually left behind and forgotten. However, directors John Musker and Ron Clements (of "Moana" and "The Princess and the Frog") hit the nail on the head when they created a dystopia with pirate and steampunk influences that traverses multiple universes and types of adventure. There is fantasy here, but also music, emotion, entertaining characters, and a breathtaking plot with revolutionary visuals for the time. A movie that deserves to be remembered, just like "Atlantis".
Moana
Why will this movie restore your courage to dream? As Moana Waialiki sets off on a journey across the open sea in search of her ancestors, she inspires generations to come together in search of the power and beauty of their own identity. In addition to representing a natural, independent, determined and empathetic leader who refuses labels and does not want to be called a princess, Moana illuminates a path of respect for nature and responsibility from our own choices, broadening our personal view.
Family
10 Lives
Beckett is a pampered and selfish cat who totally takes for granted the lucky hand he has been dealt. All that is about to change, however, when he carelessly loses his ninth life.
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.
