Madagascar (2005)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
One of the main and most beloved animations from Dreamworks, 'Madagascar' is one of those movies that make anyone laugh - adults and children, without distinctions. In the story, we follow a group of animals (a zebra, a lion, a giraffe and a hippo, plus secondary characters) that escape from the zoo in search of freedom. The jokes are well placed and the characters evoke good feelings in anyone who is watching the movie. The script's idea of giving distinctive characteristics to the animals, such as the giraffe's hypochondria, is another hit that makes the audience easily identify with the animals. And the great highlights, of course, are the penguins and King Julien, with his catchy song that stays in your head even weeks later.

From the same director
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
After a light and unpretentious first movie, a "classic" of animation, it was expected that 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' would follow the same path. However, directors Tom McGrath and Eric Darnell invest in more of the same when talking again about these animals fleeing from somewhere - in this case, from Madagascar itself. There are its funny moments and that enchant parents and children, like the penguins' saga again. However, it is a pity that the movie cannot advance in the provocation of the story and in the development of the characters, which only gain layers when they find similar ones in the jungle. It's fun, but unfortunately it doesn't come close to what sequels like 'Shrek 2' and 'Toy Story 2' do, which go far beyond their original films.
The Boss Baby: Family Business
"The Boss Baby: Family Business" is a movie tailor-made for the current generation of children, full of references and jokes, as well as a very specific humor. The film is vibrant and frenetic, plugged into 220v and bombards us with so much narrative and visual information that only a child from the end of Generation Z or Alpha (since the Zs are already falling behind) can fully absorb and keep up with the pace. Energetic, fun, inventive, and with some very creative and interesting visual sequences, the animation addresses various social issues and has an important message about overcoming and self-confidence for children. For adults who venture to watch the movie, behind all the visual pyrotechnics there is a simple story about connecting with family, friendship and fraternity - and, above all, about how to be present and understand their children without suffocating them, but also without leaving them abandoned. It's an interesting sequel, it works well and has very creative solutions that will guarantee the attention of children.
The Boss Baby
A fun DreamWorks animation about a boy who welcomes his new baby brother into the home, only to discover that he can talk and what his intentions are. The Boss Baby isn't as deep as say, the always interesting offerings from Pixar, and its humor is more geared towards children, who will have a grand time. However, there's a touching reflection on brotherhood and family that adults may resonate with.
Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
A fantasy and adventure comedy suitable for the whole family. We could almost say that 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Rebels' uses the Marvel formula seen in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy - humor even in the most serious moments, a frantic pace, and many spectacular action sequences in a story about an improvised family - and transfers it to the context of the famous role-playing game. The plot follows a violinist (Chris Pine), who after a botched robbery, seeks to reunite with his daughter. However, this leads him on an adventure where together with a group of varied companions (Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis and Regé-Jean Page), they will have to save the world. Although it doesn't reinvent the wheel, Dungeons & Dragons is a very fun family adventure, and even if its screen time is somewhat exaggerated, it becomes extremely entertaining thanks to the charisma and chemistry of its cast.
Batman: the Doom That Came To Gotham
Returning from a decade-long voyage of discovery, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City, where his parents fell victim to the knife of a madman 20 years earlier. On his journey, Bruce has taken on an international trio of orphaned street kids – whom Batman fans will recognize as various iterations of Robin. During a deadly Arctic encounter, the Penguin informs Bruce that a doomsday cult is planning Gotham’s destruction. Bruce must now return home and take on the mantle of Batman. But when this man of science discovers he faces not criminals and crazies but actual ancient magic, fiery demons and interdimensional Old Gods, can he retain his sanity?
Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles
While investigating the legend of the mythical Pokémon Arceus, Ash, Goh and Dawn uncover a plot by Team Galactic that threatens the world.
We Lost Our Human
This is a fun, interactive Netflix special (in the same vein as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend), with an animation style reminiscent of cartoons like The Amazing World of Gumball or Steven Universe. The premise of We Lost Our Human is eccentric: two spoiled pets are the only ones who can travel to the center of the universe to fix a technical glitch that has made humans disappear. Like other Netflix interactive specials, the viewer only has to choose between different paths at certain times, resulting in different versions of the story.
