I am not leaving this review because of the cinematic value this possesses. It is your typical "next door neighbor heroine overcoming her fears" story, with the "bad guy isn't really bad" twist ending. Why I am leaving this review: We first saw it on a streaming service over a year ago. It quickly became my (then 2 year old) daughters favorite movie. I managed to teach her shapes and how to count to 5, but I fully credit this movie with teaching her colors. Last fall it was removed from the streaming service. Her little heart was crushed. So when I found this on Amazon I purchased it for her 3rd birthday. She is ecstatic to have her favorite movie again. It is a clean movie, lots of fun humor, even a fart joke thrown in there. I believe brown and madam pink are a better love story than some other movies. Read more

If you don't follow animation very closely -- and even if you do -- you have to be a discerning consumer nowadays. Even the shoddiest animated features can have celebrity voices and look good on their packages. That's not to say that low-budget features are not worth considering, however. Some high-budget features can emanate fumes, too.The thing to consider is how the filmmakers were able to make the most with what they had. Such is the case with THE HERO OF COLOR CITY, a new animated feature that enjoyed a limited run before arriving on video today. It's a warmhearted, entertaining feature with modest pretentions that, like TOY STORY, anthromorphosizes a beloved household plaything: crayons. "Well, then it's just TOY STORY with crayons, right?" Yes and no. There were several animated films about living toys before TOY STORY, so to call it a rip-off would be hasty without seeing it. While THE HERO OF COLOR CITY does focus on the familiar theme of "facing your fears" (which also worked nicely in TOY STORY OF TERROR!), COLOR CITY offers a new "box" of characters and a new magical land of colors, in which the bad guys are seeking to add color to themselves at any cost. What the film has going for it is a story line just absorbing enough to sustain a feature (not an easy nor always successful task), well-cast voices -- including (Owen Wilson, Christina Ricci and the always interesting Craig Ferguson as well as voice acting vets like Jess Harnell, Tara Strong and David Kaye), a pleasant musical score and peppy songs. It's does not go for the satiric bite of THE LEGO MOVIE, nor does it make the attempt. This is a nice movie for families and kids. And to quote Rodgers and Hammerstein, "All the rest is talk." When I was a kid, for Christmas my Dad gave me huge box of crayons with activity books. It paled next to the flashier toys and I'll always feel a little bad because I made very little fuss about it. But in the ensuing months, that became the gift that kept on giving long after the other gifts lost their luster. So crack open a 64-pack (with sharpener), open a huge pad of drawing paper and color along. Read more

A family favorite. Good lessons on teamwork and not judging others too quickly. Opens up conversations about slowing down and being a good friend. We watch this movie on repeat. Read more

As an elementary school Art Teacher, the kids love it. Although some of the words/terms are a bit advanced for some of my students, the movie is really fun and cute. I first saw it when another Art Teacher showed it through Netflix. Eventually I needed it for myself so I rented then purchased it through Amazon. One of my classes was really colorful in their personalities, they would just burst out with the theme song during class. I last showed it about a week ago and I'm still singing the theme song which is kinda of sentimental. Read more

My son is autistic and was learning his colors at school so I decided to try this movie out. He was able to learn all of his colors and loves the characters. Did a couple of songs he even likes. With this movie he's actually even wanting to color. I find it absolutely annoying but he does love it so we sit and watch it. I bought him the DVD and purchased the movie for his Kindle as well Read more
