How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) – Despite the early promise of Antz, I never really felt that DreamWorks Animation existed on the same level as an animation studio like Pixar.

The Guilt Trip (2012) – So it’s Christmas Day, as some of you may have noticed. My family goes to the movies pretty much every Christmas. A lot of families do, I know.
