ERNEST & CELESTINE
It's animated Sunday at HOLLYWOOD SPY today, people, and Dezzy will spotlight some of the animated movies coming to cinemas in February and March! ERNEST & CELESTINE is a delightful French animated film coming to cinemas February 27th from the creators of the Oscar nominated 'Triplets of Belleville' and 'The Secret of Kells' who bring us a visually stunning, enormously entertaining new film with generation spanning appeal. Deep below snowy, cobblestone streets, tucked away in networks of winding subterranean tunnels, lives a civilization of hardworking mice, terrified of the bears who live above ground. Unlike her fellow mice, Celestine is an artist and a dreamer – and when she nearly ends up as breakfast for ursine troubadour Ernest, the two form an unlikely bond. But it isn’t long before their friendship is put on trial by their respective bear-fearing and mice-eating communities. Lambert Wilson, Lauren Bacall and Forest Whitaker lend their voices in the film!
ME AND MY SHADOW
THEY LEAD, WE FOLLOW!
Another interesting animated movie was supposed to come to cinemas in March produced by Dreamworks but currently its release date is unknown: ME AND MY SHADOW still doesn't have a trailer nor any images, but it has a voice cast which includes Kate Hudson and Josh Gad! This delightful flick tells the story of Shadow Stan, an extremely frustrated shadow who yearns for a dynamic life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb, the world's most boring human. Finally pushed to the brink, Shadow Stan breaks the singular rule of the Shadow World – They lead, we follow – and takes control of Stanley!

MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN
DOING SOME TIME TRAVELLING
Also coming from Dreamworks this March is MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN with Leslie Mann and Stanley Tucci in the voice cast! Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, use their time machine - The Wabac - to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes The Wabac out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidently rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time travelling trio will make their mark on history.
I remember Mr. Peabody and the Wabac machine :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of it before, but I know it is a classic cartoon in US?
DeleteCartoons. That's more my speed.
ReplyDeleteWe do like animated flicks
DeleteMR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN i love this !
ReplyDeleteGreetings Dezmond ;).
it seems charming, doesn't it?
DeleteMR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN looks great my niece's went to see it on Friday and said it was a hoot. I may go and watch it next week as its the kids half term but I may watch Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy as my girls are Tinkerbell mad!
ReplyDeleteTinkerbell is always lovely and cute :) Much better for kids than most of other flicks out there
DeleteI am a big fan of Dreamworks. They usually make very good movies for the whole family to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI love both Dreamworks and Fox animated flicks, and Disney often has good ones. I only find PIXAR's not appealing to me
DeleteLot's of kid movies featured today. Earnest and Celestine looks cute. I survived the Lego Movie with my son yesterday. Oy!
ReplyDeleteI imagine it was boring :) On the other hand, ERNEST AND CELESTINE look delightful and lovely with tones of depth :)
DeleteMr. Peabody and Sherman take me back. And Ernest and Celestine looks sweet, sweet, sweet.
ReplyDeleteI like ERNEST AND CELESTINE too, we don't get such animated movies often!
DeleteI like the sound of Mr.Peabody and Sherman.
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Fran
DeleteMR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN better not be bad. I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle
ReplyDeleteWho are those two?
DeleteThese look great and the last two really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteThe one about shadow could be really interesting
DeleteI grew up on MR. PEABODY.
ReplyDeleteHe was a dog like Doctor Who!
Dave sees Dr Who everywhere :PP
DeleteWHO KNEW!
DeleteI've never would've guessed :)
DeleteAw, they look great. I particularly like the art in ERNEST & CELESTINE
ReplyDeleteit's very lovely in that old fashioned way
DeleteErnest and Celestine was released here in Belgium a very long time ago. Wouldn't it be easier to keep release dates the same everywhere? :-) Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteit;s a French movie and you know that US buys foreign movie rights often a year after the release in the homecountry.
DeleteI love the sounds of all three of these, especially Mr. Peabody and I was a huge fan of the cartoon on TV. I never forgot my Wabac machine.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that one before :)
DeleteWhat a delightful lineup today Dezzy! Animated movies are always on the top of my list, and I can't wait to see all 3 of these!
ReplyDeleteeven though HOLLYWOOD SPY is one of web's leading places for history and fantasy films and series, we never miss out on any of the animated flicks either :)
