Quotes #0 | Introduction

Welcome to the quotes section of the Animation Magic Theater. This section is devoted to the fun and awesome quotes from your favorite movies. In this section, I will be quoting some classic quotes from animated movies we all love.


I am so happy to start this new section, stay tuned for more! More sections are coming soon in the near future.

Review #59 | Home

When Oh, a loveable misfit from another planet, lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own. Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human. And while he changes her planet and she changes his world, they discover the true meaning of the word HOME.

Home, 2015

Story | It starts very quickly and ‘the world invasion’ proceeds really quickly unlike other films. For Boov, invading a planet is a piece of cake but to arrest a Boov named ‘Oh’ seems to be very hard. The story seems to fly by the unimportant stuff (world invasion) to come to an important plot line where ‘Oh’ meet a teenage girl ‘Tip’ who wants to find her mother. They get together to go on an adventure and thus, they get to know each other.

They compromise with each other to get what they want. ‘Tip’ wants find her mom, and ‘Oh’ just wants to justify his mistakes. I was surprised to see that the story was not that simple but it had some twists in the end. I am glad to say that I wasn’t disappointed with this movie after some negative reviews on the internet. I was not sure if I would like the character ‘Oh’ but despite his unattractive design, he was loveable. Home is a fun family movie magic.

Art | The art of this movie is just marvelous, the only defect was the character design of Boov, for me, it was too simple and unattractive. Paris looks so imaginative and that fantastical hovering car of Tip’s is magical.

Characters | To be honest, most characters from ‘Home’ were simple and stupid. Captain Smek was annoying, and the other Boovs and Humans alike were dumb and naïve.

Music | What saved ‘Home’ from being completely boring because of the character's simplistic features was the music. The music from ‘Home’ served as the energy of the movie. It made you feel what the character feels through the music more than from character’s actions.

Creativity | ‘Home’ is creative with full of imagination. It lacks credence but the Boov’s ‘gravity manipulation system’ was beautiful to see.

Hotel Transylvania 2, 2015
Hotel Transylvania has gone through several changes: the hotel is now opened to human guests; Mavis and Johnny have a baby boy, Dennis, whose lack of any vampire abilities worries Count Dracula. When Mavis and Johnny go on a visit to Johnny's parents, Dracula calls his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to help him put Dennis through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. Meanwhile, Vlad, the grumpy vampire father of Dracula, arrives at the hotel and, to his dissatisfaction, finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood vampire and that the hotel now accepts humans.
