Although Kung Fu Panda 3 is my least favorite of the franchise, it is not terrible. The franchise has been an amazing watch and I hold it up to a very high standard. This movie was funny and had an adventure, but I did not like it as much as the previous two because in the 3rd movie they added the Pandas in as main characters instead of the Furious Five which made side characters mainly.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is my favorite movie in the Kung Fu Panda franchise because it has the best storyline and the best moments where it can be intense, or it can be funny. The story begins with Po learning that he was adopted and then that leads to him searching for his past. Po goes on a journey to find who he is and where he came from and once he finds out he will know that he has to stop the new threat, Peacock, before he rules the village.

Kung Fu Panda is one of my childhood favorite movies because it is funny, it has action, and it has the best comedy in DreamWorks animations. The story begins with Po, a panda, who works with his father at a noodle shop. He stumbles into a Kung Fu assembly and is chosen by Master Oogway to be the next Kung Fu Master. Po is told that a leopard named Tai Lung is coming to the town and that he was the only one to stop him.

SHAZAM! is an amazing movie with comedy, action, suspense, and family. SHAZAM! is about a kid named Billy Batson who gets adopted by multiple group homes but always runs away from them to find his mom. He pushes everyone away because he is scared to let anyone in. My favorite part about SHAZAM! is DC’s form of Billy Batson in this movie.

Planes Fire & Rescue is my favorite movie in the Planes series. Although many people may have mixed feelings towards it, I think it is an amazing new journey/storyline Disney put into place. In this new Planes movie Dusty damaged his engine and he may never race again. His town needed a firefighter so Dusty volunteered to get his training and become a firefighter.

Planes was an incredible movie that could be compared to Cars. Dusty is the main character and he is a crop-duster. In this movie the goal was for Dusty, not built for racing, to compete in the biggest race around the globe. This story is different from Cars and had some challenges because Dusty was afraid of heights.

Finding Dory was amazing to watch and look at. The animation was spectacular, the storyline was tremendous, and the parts where Dory forgot what she was saying and started all over again were funny. In this new and improved version of the original Finding Nemo, Dory is searching for her parents and gets lost throughout her journey. Dory is a fish who has short-term memory loss which makes her journey even harder.
