Movies the giraffe watched in 2017: January (30 movies items)"First viewing - Jan. 20th You'd be forgiven for thinking I watched this with the kiddo, but I didn't. I had thought we'd see it together while it was in theatres last year, but the one time she saw a trailer for it she told me it looked too scary for her and I wasn't going to argue. So on a kiddo-free Friday night I sat down with it alone and surprisingly enjoyed it more than I expected to. Much ado has been made over the CGI in the film, and while it's quite impressive at times it's also obvio"

Concerning the tale itself, I have to admit it, at first, I had a hard time to really get into it.

Movies Of 2016 (252 movies items)"Visually gorgeous flick and voice acting was great too. Story was same old same old. Shared With My Brother, Sister And Her Fiance!"
Watched in 2016: Movies (300 movies items)"2016 Possibly the best animation-to-live action Disney movie yet (Maleficent, Cinderella, Snow White/Huntsman, Alice in Wonderland). I say live-action, but obviously all but one character is CGI.
