The first season of LEGO Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu was amazing. I watched this when I was a kid and I loved it. This TV show has an awesome storyline, action, adventure, mystery, and suspense. The first season begins with the ninja's quest to stop Lord Garmadon, but he goes missing so they put their attention to stopping the Serpentine, an ancient race of snake people that once ruled Ninjago. Now they must stop Pythor from releasing the Great Devourer, a giant snake, and save the city.

Although there have been many negative comments towards The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, I liked it and thought it was entertaining and fun to watch. The animations were spectacular, and the storyline was brilliant. The second LEGO movie began with the world fast forwarding five years later. Wildstyle became more intense than ever with the rest of the civilization of Bricksburg as well while Emmet stayed the same with an “everything is awesome” way.

Planes Fire & Rescue is my favorite movie in the Planes series. Although many people may have mixed feelings towards it, I think it is an amazing new journey/storyline Disney put into place. In this new Planes movie Dusty damaged his engine and he may never race again. His town needed a firefighter so Dusty volunteered to get his training and become a firefighter.

Planes was an incredible movie that could be compared to Cars. Dusty is the main character and he is a crop-duster. In this movie the goal was for Dusty, not built for racing, to compete in the biggest race around the globe. This story is different from Cars and had some challenges because Dusty was afraid of heights.
