![The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader [DVD] [2010]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2209/2209076_sa.jpg)

The Narnia books are perennial favorites with the young, especially as they have a spiritual side that is rare. The plot to this movie departs significantly from the book, but for valid reasons, and entertainingly so. It's worth some time and money.

I have read all the books and I find the movies compelling. There is no impurity in this series, but there is suicide and the allusion to suicide. Something of a tradeoff, I suppose.

an excellent morality tale with monsters!

The hero is a young boy unhappy at home who escapes and finds an island of monsters where he learns that being king isn't everything. (He goes home.) I think kids would like it and it does have a good message without being preachy.

Quack Pack had all the usual suspects of Duckburg, but this reboot has the Duck brothers more mature (in their interests) and maybe a good lesson is taught when their immaturity frequently causes problems (tip for kids' writers?). I think a lot of kids would like it.

I don't like even soft rock, so I was concerned by that in this kid's movie, but it has a good plot, some familiar characters, and makes a good addition to the Oz canon. Maybe someday an effort will be made to do the complete series of Oz books by L. Frank Baum! We're getting closer, I suppose.

I will say there was a nude shot of the hero's girlfriend from behind at the start, but the rest of the movie was clean and VERY well done in the action and plot departments. True to life in some important ways!

This selection even featured Droopy as a hero knight, certainly a rare star turn for him. The rest were also very clever, such as psych warfare by mice on a cat. This series of old WB cartoons has some winners.

A good mixed selection of WB cartoons, even a good old Superman cartoon that was very artistic, and a wartime Porky Pig cartoon about egg production (it was funny!).

It was fairly good for cartoons. A minimum of objectionable material (Yosemite Sam in his underwear after an explosion). If you want typical WB cartoons from the period, this is a good collection.

I wanted to see Jennifer Lawrence in one of her low budget films, and was pleased with the level of human interest in this movie. Her father disappears, her mother has psych problems, and Jen has to solve this. (I think some have found a similarity to Hunger Games in the family dynamic!) Don't expect sweetness and light, but it is good!
