His audiences tend to be more Monty Python than Harry Potter. But in the animated romp The Amazing Maurice, co-directors Toby Genkel…
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is an extraordinary, original work by Dean Fleischer-Camp and Nick Paley that has Best Animated Feature written all over it. It’s a delightful tale, beautifully told.

This prequel to the charming and endearing Toy Story franchise didn’t quite give me the buzz that I was expecting. This is actually the second spinoff from Toy Story to feature Buzz Lightyear following 2000’s Buzz Lightyear of the Star Command.
