Scrat's Continental Crack-Up: Part 2—cute, rest of the story—is shorter than its prequel but keeps to format and expectations. Again, great animation and deeply drawn characterization that typically follows this animated character are strictly adhered to.

Robots—original and fun—is a super terrific film to watch to catch its many,
many references to famous movies, television ads, and dialogue lines one of
which is James Bond’s line, “Shaken, Not Stirred.” The animation is terrific
and the movie uses recognizable voicing that also increases its likability
factor. The movie does get a little sleepy as it winds down to its conclusion
but it maintains its watch-ability status. Listen for Robin Williams’ voice as
the character, Fender. Wow! What a treat. This movie is great for the
Child/Adult share.

Monster Trucks will
remind audiences of one of those 'first choice’ movies one watches when young.
While this film may not be a first choice for an adult audience, it serves as ‘cool’
for the younger audience. Barry Pepper seems perfectly cast for his part. Lucas
Till gives a strong performance while Danny Glover is always on top of his
game.
