Why watch this film?
Although it may not be the best or most inventive Disney movie, 'The Emperor's New Groove' has become a fan favorite. After all, the plot is an incredibly funny non-sense, worthy of laughter. In addition, the atmosphere of native American nations helps to give a freshness to the studio's films, which usually featured cultures from the United States or very distant countries from Latin America. However, perhaps the highest point of the film, and which has contributed to the creation of this legion of fans, is the Portuguese dubbing. Marieta Severo ('A Grande Família') is a spectacle as the villain Yzma, while Selton Mello ('O Palhaço') fits like a glove as Kuzco, giving even more layers of humor in the absurdity of the story.

Chicken Little
Chicken Little is a clumsy character who needs to save the town from an alien invasion, but nobody believes him. So, without making any fuss, he decides to face the invaders with the help of his friends - who are characters that suffer bullying at school, this is still addressed as a comic fact, but the union of them makes us think that the important message is this. Despite the movie not having a good review at the time it was released, it is a good intriguing and suitable for adults and children. 'Chicken Little' is a fun movie, but it presents some stereotypes to reach humor in some scenes, which nowadays can be quite problematic.
The Garfield Movie
The Garfield Movie breaks away from the typical tales of the cat created by Jim Davis. Forced out of his comfort zone, he reunites with long-lost father Vic and must help him pay off a massive debt. Charming, reminiscent of recent children's productions like Despicable Me, Trolls, and Sing, mainly in its innocence and desire to impart moral lessons without timing. Nevertheless, the film ensures family fun, especially when director Mark Dindal (The Emperor's New Groove) returns to the comic strip's origins, poking fun at Garfield's excessive sedentarism.
Adventure
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with the final of three films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's enduring masterpiece. Set in Middle-earth 60 years before the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, the adventure follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of dwarves on a journey into wild, treacherous lands swarming with beasts of every ilk. After reaching Erebor and encountering the dragon Smaug, Five Armies assemble for an epic battle that could decide the future of all in Middle-earth.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Academy Award® winner Peter Jackson continues his Middle-earth adventure following Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) who's swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. In the company of thirteen dwarves and the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo enters the Lonely Mountain in possession of Gollum's "precious" ring and his keen blade, Sting. With an all-star cast and the effects wizardry of Jackson's award-winning Weta Workshop, Tolkien's epic story comes to life as never before imagined.
Mission Cross
Mission Cross is another film from South Korea that proves the country's strength in action cinema—with great effects and breathtaking scenes. In the story, a hardworking househusband and former special forces officer is hiding his past from his wife, Mi Sun, who is a violent crimes detective. However, things go awry when a mysterious woman appears and claims that Kang Moo, the protagonist, is not who he seems to be. From there, we follow a film with well-crafted action scenes, accompanied by a good dose of comedy to break the tension.
Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie
Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie is yet another animated film that marks Netflix's bet on the SpongeBob SquarePants universe. In the plot, Bikini Bottom has been stolen. Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob watch in disbelief as everyone's favorite city is taken out of the ocean by a sinister and mysterious company. Now, the two must embark on an epic journey to Sandy's home state of Texas and enlist her family to help save Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and the rest of the gang before time runs out. A somewhat naive movie, without bold or risky stakes, but one that entertains in this return to the SpongeBob universe in theaters. Perfect for young children.
