Kid Tested – Uncle Approved: “Chicken Run” (2000)

Loosely based on The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen, this ended up being the highest-grossing stop motion animated film of all time.

Kid Tested – Uncle Approved: “How to Train Your Dragon 2” (2014)

Kid Tested – Uncle Approved: “Penguins of Madagascar” (2014)

I'm always weary of spin-offs...but everything I heard about the cartoon was positive, even glowing in the reviews. So when the movie version popped up in Netflix, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Kid Tested – Uncle Approved: “Anastasia” (1997)

Kid Tested – Uncle Approved: “Star Wars Rebels” (2014-present)

Rebels is another brilliant animated series that premiered last fall on Disney XD. And believe you me, if you liked Clone Wars, you will LOVE Rebels.
