FOUR KIDS AND IT
Watchable when seen for the second time. This time was at the cinema which did make a difference: I noticed that the girl was planning out her publication thoroughly, e.g. a memo sticker shows she was thinking of her book cover. Psammead's fur looks greenish. You can clearly hear the sounds of nature at some point. I realised the movie was shot on locations in London and Ireland. I still had fun, e.g. when the creature made shark-like circles in the sand before appearing for the first time and the lines were brilliant, e.g. "That's not what friends are like. That's what a police mugshot looks like." The whole thing however, did not keep me on the edge of the seat any more. The book author Jacqueline Wilson herself approaches the young author in the early end credits scene which is such a touching detail.
SAMSAM
Watchable. A simple and cheerful tale for nursery-age children. Visibly inspired mostly by... peas but also echoing "Batman" and "Avatar". Planets and creatures are distinguished by their own colours. Buildings, creatures and devices have toy-like shapes and people have unproportionally big heads which will make it relevant to very young kids. It wasn't much involving for me but a girl from the audience was dancing to the music running at the end credits so it's clearly one for little ones.
In Poland, all children movies are currently screened with Polish dubbing only.
