Watch The Incredibles 2 on Netflix

Posted on | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment on Watch The Incredibles 2 on Netflix

One of the best movies of all in 2018 was The Incredibles 2. Not often does a successor become better than the original, but to me, The Incredibles 2 was even better than the original movie.

My favorite character in The Incredibles 2 – watch it on Netflix

The Incredibles 2 made it to the list of the top 10 grossing movies in the world in 2018. And considering that it is an animated movie, that is a brilliant job. The truth is, this is a movie that even adults will enjoy. I am way up in my adult years, and I was an adult when I watched the first movie, but I enjoyed the first movie about the incredible family, and now I enjoyed the second movie even more.

Watch The Incredibles 2 on Netflix

If you are as enthusiastic about The Incredibles 2 as I am, you will for sure be eager to watch the movie on Netflix. But, where can you stream Incredibles 2 on Netflix? From January 30th in 2019, you can stream the movie in two different Netflix regions, in Canada and in the USA.

But, how can you get access to those Netflix regions if you live somewhere else? It is very easy. All you have to do is to read the instructions at netflix.fromabroad.org. It is really easy, and you can find yourself enjoying the full library of Canadian and American Netflix in five minutes from now if you follow the instrcutions.

And believe me, it is worth it. Not only will The Incredibles 2 come to both regions in January 2019, but you can also watch the Marvel movie Ant-Man and the Wasp, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and quite a lot of other awesome movies.

The Incredibles 2 – a fantastic movie

If you visit Rotten Tomatoes, you will see that The Incredibles 2 has a critics score of 94%, while the audience score is 86%. Both are fantastic numbers, and they support my statement that this is an awesome movies. I have got to say that kids of 5-6-7 years will love the movie, but they might get scared as the “evil” character of the movie can be experienced as a really scary character.

But, The Incredibles 2 is also packed with hilarious jokes, and especially the youngest member of the family is awesome to watch.

Have you seen The Incredibles 2?

Did you enjoy it as much as I did? I am a giant fan, and even though it took a long time for the successor to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait. I do hope that an eventual third movie will come faster than the second, but the most important is to keep the quality up!

Robozuna – more action for kids on Netflix

Posted on | by Christine Wilson | 1 Comment on Robozuna – more action for kids on Netflix

I might not be the biggest fan of original Netflix productions, but when it comes to children programs on Netflix, the original productions are great.

Recently I have been watching three different original Netflix productions for kids; Hilda, Trollhunter, and Robozuna. What I have discovered watching these series is that Netflix is doing great producing content for kids in the 7-15-year-old age group. Kids in this age group, and especially boys, love robots, action, transformers, and cars. All the three mentioned TV series fit into this category, and maybe especially, Robozuna.

The first season of Robozuna consists of ten episodes. Here we follow Ariston, a young guy who takes part in the Robozuna competition with his robot Mangle. But, it is so much more than just a competition, because there is a large political scheme above it all, and Ariston has to take part in fighting against the evil forces of the empire.

Robozuna – or maybe Star Wars for kids?

Many people have commented on the resemblance between Robozuna and Star Wars, and that might be true. There are quite a lot of similarities, and the constant fight and battles between good and evil are similar. The story takes place in a universe that also reminds us of the Star Wars universe, making it even closer. So, maybe this is a way of making your kids ready for watching Star Wars together with you?

But, since Robozuna contains quite some violence, fighting, and battles, you better watch it together with your kids first to see how they react and how they like it. You might also want to speak to them afterward to hear how they liked it, what they think of the characters, and see if they actually understand what’s going on.

Watch Robozuna on Netflix

Robozuna is a Netflix original that premiered on Netflix in October 2018. You can watch it on Netflix all across the globe, and it is also dubbed into lots of native languages, meaning you might be able to watch it in your native language as well (if that isn’t English).

I find Robozuna to be a great series for a bit older kids, especially for boys who want action and who love robots. What do you think?

Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia – perfect for kids who want action!

Posted on | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment on Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia – perfect for kids who want action!

Netflix has understood something that is very important – if you reach the kids, you will reach the future adults! It is no wonder why Netflix is producing a whole lot of children material, and Trollhunters is one of the best of them all!

Does the name Guillermo del Toro say anything to you? Maybe not! But, if you have followed the recent years in the movie industry, you might remember the movie The Shape of Water. Do you know which director received the Academy Award for Best Director in 2017? Guillermo del Toro for his work with The Shape of Water. But, what does this has to do with Trollhunters? It is directed by the same guy, by Guillermo del Toro.

I am not sure how much he is into the details of the series, but if he gives his name to the series, it should give the viewers higher expectations at once. And yes, Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia is a quality production! This can also be seen by the number of awards it has been nominated for, and Travis Johnson called it “the best children’s animation to come along since Avatar: The Last Airbender.”

Trollhunters on Netflix

Since Trollhunters is a Netflix original series, you can watch it on Netflix regions all across the world. It is originally in English, but you will find it both subtitled and dubbed in quite a lot of regions, making it more accessible for people with no English skills at all.

In Trollhunters, you will meet the fifteen-year-old boy James “Jim” Lake Jr. who finds a special amulet which makes him the new Trollhunter. His task is to protect the good trolls the bad trolls. He quickly meets his mentors which will help him in the task, but it isn’t always easy to face those evil trolls!

Trollhunters

Trollhunters isn’t a children series, but it is more of an older-kids, young teenager series. It is quite a lot of battles, fighting, violence, and scary scenes. Luckily, James Lake Jr. is a nice guy with good values, but still, this is way too scary to watch for younger kids!

But, if you have kids in the house between 7 and 15 years, this might be an ideal series to watch. Parents are recommended to watch a couple of episodes with their kids, just to make sure that the kids actually like it, and that they aren’t scared to death by what they see. It is also useful for parents to have insight into what their kids actually watch!

All in all, Trollhunters is a great series for kids… great job Netflix!

More about The Secret Life of Pets

“When the cat’s away, the mice will play” is a popular saying. What happens with our pets, once the owner leave the house? They start playing! But, with Katie and Max the story is different. Max is a dog who is completely addicted and dedicated to his owner Katie. But, Katie has to leave home to work and that leaves a big empty space hard to fill for the dog Max. One day as Katie returns, she has a big surprise to Max. Unfortunately the surprise is a bad one, a big dog that is to become his new playmate.

Max is not at all happy about the new mate, and considering that he is squeezed out from his comfort zone, makes things even worse. But, friends are best made during hardships, and once Max and the new dog is taken captive, they have to fight their way back home together, while the other pets in the neighborhood do their uttermost to get their friend Max back.

Max ain't to happy about his new friend!
Max ain’t to happy about his new friend!

The story might not be very original, but the movie itself is fantastic for children who enjoy a tale with lots of animals in it, especially dogs.

The Secret Life of Pets had its theater premiere on July 8th in 2016. It was directed by Chris Renaud, the creator of Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. In the original version of the movie you can also hear the voices of several famous actors such as Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Jenny Slate, Bobby Moynihan, Hannibal Buress and Albert Brooks. Beneath you can watch a The Secret Life of Pets trailer from YouTube.

It is very interesting that the most popular comment to the trailer on YouTube above is as follows:

“Wait… isn’t this the plot of Toy Story?”

If you have seen the trailer, you will probably really recognize the plot from Toy Story. It is very similar to the story of Woody, the favorite toy of his owner. One day he is accompanied by a new toy, Buzz Lightyear. They become enemies, but once they are sent away from home by a mistake, they have to cooperate in order to find their way back home.

Did you know that The Secret Life of Pets 2 will come soon?

The Secret Life of Pets was such a big success (it was the sixth highest-grossing film of 2016), that Universal Pictures has decided to continue the story in a sequel. Some sources say that the movie will be relased in July 2018, while others say that the movie will be released in July 2019. It sounds reasonable with a 2019 release, at least if we want the movie to be released with the same quality and precision as the original. It should also be mentioned that according to Wikipedia the sequel is set to be released on July 3rd in 2019.

Watch Ice Age: Collision Course on Netflix

Posted on | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment on Watch Ice Age: Collision Course on Netflix

Ice Age Collision Course on NEtflixThe newest Ice Age movie titled Collision Course has already arrived to Netflix. Would you like to see what’s happening in Ice Age Collision Course on Netflix? Read on!

It is so nice with animated movies, because the actors do not have any rights, and thus they can not ask for higher wages, retire or complain about their boss. The result is therefore that the creators can make lots of movies, sequels and follow-ups. This might be a curse as well, but when it comes to the Ice Age series the follow-ups are luckily keeping the quality up as well. They are not like the Lion King sequels or the Aladdin sequel(s), but they are more moving in the quality of the Shrek sequels which were great.

The newest Ice Age movie named Collision Course was released in 2016, and since March 1st in 2017 you can stream the newest movie about Sid, Manny and Diego on Netflix. If you are located in the United States or in Europe, you will not find Ice Age: Collision Course on Netflix, because the only region in which it can be streamed is Canadian Netflix.

Watch Ice Age: Collision Course on Netflix

As earlier mentioned you can stream this movie on Canadian Netflix at the moment. This is the best Netflix region for Hollywood blockbusters, and it is not a coincidence that since March 1st in 2017 you can also stream X-Men Apocalypse and Independence Day: Resurgence in the same Netflix region. Wonder how you can get access to it?

If you want to watch Canadian Netflix outside Canada, click the link and read the instructions to find out how you can access this and lots of other Netflix regions from abroad.

Ice Age: Collision Course only has a 5,7/10 score on iMDB which is very low, considering the general generosity of the iMDB audience. Have you seen Ice Age: Collision Course on Netflix? What kind of score would you give the movie?
