Soul (2020)

Lynnette Nicholas

It's rare that an animated feature from a big franchise leaves both adult and youth audiences pondering their purpose in life. Yet, Pixar and Disney's 'Soul' does this and so much more with humor, sensitivity and grace.

The Lion King (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

The 'Lion King' is engaging, cinematically beautiful, and showcases some of the rich cultural traditions of Africa. Though at times, the CGI was a little distracting.

The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

'The Art of Racing In The Rain' is definitely a family movie that provides plenty of opportunities to talk with kids and teenagers about: life, death, raising children and changes in family dynamics.

The Call of the Wild (2020)

Lynnette Nicholas

A 'salt of the Earth' type of film that shows nature's beauty and power. The characters within the film carry much spiritual and emotional weight. Some scenes may be difficult for dog lovers and younger audiences to watch at certain times too.

Frozen II (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

Disney's 'Frozen 2' far exceeds the original animated film. The character development, storyline and the overall themes are more nuanced, detailed and intriguing. There are some scenes that may insight fear in smaller kids, but overall it's kid-friendly.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

'Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' is beautifully animated, but there are many dark moments and themes within the movie that overshadow the notion that this film is supposed to be for kids or younger audiences.

Harriet (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

'Harriet' is not a film about slavery. It's a powerful, inspirational and redemptive film about a woman who changed the course of American history.

Spies in Disguise (2019)

Lynnette Nicholas

'Spies In Disguise' is a great movie for the entire family. There are positive themes of embracing differences, taking ownership of idiosyncrasies, and showcases the benefits of not giving up. This film also shows kids that nerds and science are cool too!

Emma. (2020)

Lynnette Nicholas

Autumn de Wilde's 'Emma' is a thoughtful and charming take on Austen's classic novel. Comedic undertones perfectly balance heavier themes centering the social constructs of marriage, preoccupation with pedigree and excessive privilege. It's a must see.
