Pass it on

The Boss Baby

51Watch it awake.

A jealousy story that remembers the brother is the point. The corporate joke wears thin.

The review

Tim is displaced by a new brother and the film takes his panic seriously, then turns it into a mission they share. The baby-corporation gag is a long commercial for the idea that love is a product line. Ignore the metaphor. Keep the brothers in the backyard at the end, when the suit comes off and a baby is a baby.

Parents will be tired by the middle. The last movement is the one to stay for: there is enough lap if the older child is included.

Journal

Keep The Boss Baby in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Republic are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

63 instead of 51

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is still a animation film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is piety: A dance for a dead mother.

The eight

5
Industry
A fake corporation. A real family schedule.
8
Household
Sibling rivalry handled as love under threat, not as a joke on the baby.
2
Piety
None.
5
Courage
He protects the brother he resented.
3
Republic
Office politics as a cartoon.
5
Temperance
Wanting to be the only child is the excess.
6
Truth
The suit is a fantasy. The brother is the fact.
7
Stewardship
The house expands. That is the good ending.

Pass it on

Barbie in the Nutcracker

51Watch it awake.

A small courage story inside a toy commercial. The courage is real enough for a child.

The review

Clara is told she is only a girl, and the plot contradicts the aunt without turning Clara into a brand ambassador for defiance. She is kind to a toy, steady in a strange country, and willing to be the one who moves when the mice have the room. The Nutcracker is a prince who needs help. That order is fine.

It is also a doll's film, and the last frame is a product. Do not pretend otherwise. The middle is still a usable picture of a girl who acts. Put it on for a young child. Do not build a theology out of it.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
