You know, the one where you can't stop your arm from making wavy motions every time he sings, " I've got this feeling inside my bones. The $329.5 million worldwide that the film has earned so far tells a different story.įirst came the Justin Timberlake song. Between its Smurf-like storyline (creatures trying to save their village from those who'd eat them, blah blah blah) to its hush-hush plot details up until the last minute before the movie's release, audiences were not expecting much. Perhaps the biggest upset out of this year's children's films is the DreamWorks Animation 3D computer-animated musical comedy, Trolls. Even so, the movie has grossed $194.7 million and counting worldwide and continues to energize audiences into head-bobbing, toe-tapping, sing-a-longs across the country. Reilly, Taron Egerton, and Scarlett Johansson, Sing attempts to work in nuanced characters with their own stories and challenges, but most fail to become three-dimensional personalities, many existing as familiar tropes in a story that is a bit tried to many viewers. With a cast including Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Tori Kelly, John C. No, it's not the most emotionally-moving movie of the year, and with a 69% approval rating, it may not win many awards (though it has been nominated for a Golden Globe, so it's still possible), but it made going to the movies a blast for plenty of families during the holidays this year. Illumination Entertainment's Sing went with the popular clothes-wearing, personified animals theme of 2016 and whisked in some American Idol to create a good-time movie. If Americans love anything, it's a good song and dance number. It also broke Shrek Forever After's record as the most widely-released animated and PG-rated movie. The Secret Life of Pets is up for a People's Choice Award and has grossed over $400 million worldwide. Additional vocal talents included Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Lake Bell, and Albert Brooks. Sure, the film isn't without problems, but it's got an overall approval rating of 75% due to its many laughs and stellar cast.
Gidget, voiced by Jenny Slate, also rallies the rest of the neighborhood pets to save Max, the film's protagonist/top dog, voiced by Louis CK. A predatory hawk is tamed by a clever yet vivacious Pomeranian pup named Gidget, who proves she's much more than just a pretty face. There's a pet liberation front run by a bunny with the Orwellian moniker Snowball. While the story itself isn't all that original (think Toy Story with your pets), the film is a hilarious romp into a wild underground world of animal culture. " What does Scruffy do while I'm gone all day?" is the premise behind Illumination Entertainment's The Secret Life of Pets. Andy Samberg's ever-goofy portrayal of the film's protagonist, the stork Junior, led the movie's most humorous moments, but Canadian voice actress Katie Crown shone beside him as Tulip, resulting in a comedic pairing that audiences of all ages were able to appreciate. With a 63% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes and a much more impressive 89% average from Google users, Storks has grossed over $177.7 million worldwide, earning back more than twice its production budget. When a baby gets mixed up in the new system, an injured stork and Tulip, a human who works for the company, make it their priority to get her delivered- neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night standing in their way. The film literally wraps up the tale in modern packaging, working on the premise that delivery storks might opt to work in a business other than dumping parcels of humans door-to-door if that business paid better. Storks is based on the terrible old story that uncomfortable adults used to recite to curious kids who wanted to know where babies come from.
