Thunder and the House of Magic
SCORE: 77
When people talk about family friendly animated movies they normally
are talking about Disney. They are not the only ones who do it. In fact
Shout Factory has been growing that department for years now. Family
Friendly Gaming is pleased to see it happening.
Thunder and the House of Magic is a movie that families will be able to
enjoy. A little kitten is abandoned by a family moving. He is exposed to
the big world with all kinds of dangers. He comes across a spooky house
of an elderly gentleman who is a magician.
When Thunder (the kitten) gets to the magician's house full of little
robots, he runs into a mouse and a rabbit. Those two are very hostile to
him. The love birds are much nicer to Thunder. The majority of the
conflict in Thunder and the House of Magic deals with the cat, mouse,
and rabbit.
The magician's nephew is a real estate agent and he wants to sell the
old man's house. He wants to send his elderly relative off to a
retirement home. A bicycle accident gives him the opportunity he has
been looking for. His one achilles heel is he is allergic to cats. This
is where Thunder helps the home, animals, and little robotic characters.
Thunder and the House of Magic does have one language issue. A certain
character likes to use a word families will find offensive and possible
vulgar. The definition of the word is to send something to hell. It was
only used a few times but it was noticeable.
Overall Thunder and the House of Magic is a cute movie that teaches us
to not abuse our elders. It also condemns dumping of animals. Thunder
and the House of Magic also teaches us to work together to stop the
greed of the real estate community.
The magic elements are light in Thunder and the House of Magic. They are
mainly sleight of hand that we see in the real world. The scary elements
are also very light in Thunder and the House of Magic. There are a few
moments of peril here and there. The first cat perspective used briefly
here and there is awesome.
