The story is about how a shy little girl made friends with another little girl called Marnie.
Liked the friendship between the two girls! The final portion where they slowly revealed the identity of Marnie was pretty exciting in my opinion!

Dinosaur
The story is about how a dinosaur raised by lemurs trekked to a sanctuary after a meteorite shower destroyed his home.

Shoplifters
The story is about a group of outcasts staying together as a family. Some of them shoplift to survive.
Liked the interrogation scene towards the end where we slowly figured out the relationship among the "family members"! I think they act more like a family than real families do!

Our Little Sister
The story is based on a Japanese manga series called Umimachi Diary. It describes how a young girl came to live with her three older step sisters after her father passed away.
Liked the nice idyllic life at the countryside near the beach! My favorite part would be when the big sister and the little sister climbed up a hill and took turns to shout something towards the sea. I was surprised by what the little sister shouted but it made sense in retrospect.

Home Alone
The story is about what happened when a little boy was accidentally left at home around Christmas while his family went on a holiday to Paris.
Liked the part where Kevin went to church and realized that his old neighbour was much friendlier than he thought! The rest of the plot was a little bit too unbelievable in my opinion. It will be an advanced challenge for a ten year old kid in an "Old Enough" episode.

Pinocchio
The story is about the adventures of a wooden puppet called Pinocchio.
Liked this film much better than the live action feature directed by Robert Zemeckis! Very well adapted to explain Gepetto's relationship with his son before he made Pinocchio and Pinocchio's friendship with his good friend Candlewick. The animation is amazing too!

Enola Holmes 2
The story is about the sister of Sherlock Holmes called Enola Holmes solving a case of a missing person.
Liked the exciting chase sequences and how observant Enola was in noticing the clues! Not quite convinced about the romance bit though as it seemed too abrupt.

Pinocchio
The story is based on a children's book and it is about the adventures of a wooden puppet.
Liked the interesting adventures and was inspired to read the original book after that! Preferred the book as it had a lot more twists and turns! The blue fairy also had a much bigger role there.

Soul
The story is about the adventures of a jazz musician when he travelled to the underworld to be reborn again.
Not really a fan of jazz, so couldn't quite appreciate the music. Liked the parts where the little brat was trying to find his niche in life and experiencing what life is all about!

The story is about a group of school children trapped in a magical "haunted" building that drifts around in the ocean.

The Classroom of Youth
The story is about a group of young Korean students during the early sixties.
Liked the contrast between the family dynamics of the couple's family. Was a little bit shocked towards the end by the revelation of the secrets and was really puzzled by the ending but overall I still liked the film.
