Mufasa: The Lion King

 Rated: PG

 Runtime: 1 hour 58 minutes

 Release Date: December 20, 2024

 Director: Barry Jenkins

 Featuring the voices of: Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone

    This prequel to the 2019 Lion King remake, is about young cub that's lost and alone named Mufasa meets Taka, a young lion that's sympathetic, and the heir to the Royal Bloodline. They later go on a expansive journey Along with three other well-known characters, and search for their destiny. 

    This movie is good but, I don't think it holds a candle as well as the 2019 film, or the 1994 film. But it's enjoyable, I think kids will like it. So Parents, if you haven't taken your kids to this movie, go ahead.

Final Grade:

B+

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

 Rated: PG

 Runtime: 1 hour 50 minutes

 Release Date: December 20, 2024

 Director: Jeff Fowler

 Starring: Jim Carrey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter and featuring the voices of Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey

    In this third film in the Sonic franchise, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite to face a new adversary, Shadow the Hedgehog (Reeves), a mysterious villain with powers that they've never faced before. With their powers outmatched, the trio must team up with a unlikely alliance as they go on a global adventure to stop Shadow.

   This movie is not the best, or worst of the three Sonic movies. I'd say it's in the middle between one and two, but it's a enjoyable film. Parents, if your kids like the sonic movies, I'd say take them to see it. they might like it a little bit.

Final Grade:

B
