Cry Me A River – Archipel (IFFR 2021 Film Review)

Posted by David Cuevas - February 6, 2021

The world of Québec-produced animation is an illustrious treat. For those unfamiliar with the recent rise of exports from studios such as the National Film Board of Canada, the province of Québec is largely known in the entertainment sphere to be a great place for film production. While many usually look at Québec as a

“Full Of Magic And Wonder” – Onward (Film Review)

Posted by Maria Lattila - March 2, 2020

It’s time for a new Pixar film again! In my book, Pixar can do no wrong, as a studio they have a remarkably good grip on narrative and visual storytelling and I can indeed confirm that Dan Scanlon’s Onward is here to make you weep like a baby. The story follows two young elf brothers,

“Perfectly forgettable popcorn entertainment” – Spies In Disguise (Film Review)

Posted by Maria Lattila - January 3, 2020

Animation seems to have reached its golden era. In 2019 alone, we had the emotional conclusion of the Toy Story films, the breathtakingly gorgeous Frozen 2, the adorable The Missing Link and the surprisingly solid sequel to The Lego Movie. Not only do all these films look fantastic, but they’ve also deepened our understanding of

“A Petri Dish of Mutually Assured Destruction” – To Your Last Death (FrightFest 2019 Review)

Posted by Tom Beasley - August 27, 2019

One of the joys of the Arrow Video FrightFest programme is always the way that it reflects the incredible breadth and scope of the horror genre. This year alone, the likes of the Soska Sisters' Rabid remake are on the same line-up as time travel actioner Stairs and the uber-meta crime comedy Madness in the

“Sometimes There Are More Important Things Than Fun” – Playmobil: The Movie (Film Review)

Posted by Tom Beasley - July 29, 2019

Wait, what? They made a movie about Playmobil? The stuff that's not Lego, but really wants to be? Isn't this just a pound shop version of The Lego Movie? The above is a perfectly valid thought process when hearing about Playmobil: The Movie. The German line of construction toys is not as well-known as its

‘This Star does not shine’ – The Star (DVD Review)

Posted by Humza Hussain - November 20, 2018

The Star takes an interesting approach to the heroic animal animated film. The Nativity of Jesus, a well-known story, and a popular play for schools, inspires Sony Pictures Christmas animation. Mary, Joseph, the three wise men – all the characters are a part of this story. The protagonist for this story, however, is Bo, the

Dream Weaver – Your Name (DVD Review)

Posted by Grae Westgate - November 7, 2017

Once in a blue moon, an animated film comes along and round-houses you to the face with an emotional pow. It doesn’t happen often (although, admittedly, I would class Moana as one of these emotional heavy-hitters…), but when it does, you know you’re in for an instant classic. Of course, over here in the West,

The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was – Veronica Taylor (The VH Interview)

Posted by Grae Westgate - June 7, 2017

For any child of the Nineties, Pokémon was an inescapable part of growing up. One of Japan’s most lucrative exports, it became a way of life. The Gameboy games, the trading cards, and, of course, the still on-going anime series.  Even now, twenty years later, a new generation has been hitting the streets as Pokémon

“What Time Is It….?” – Jeremy Shada (The VH Interview)

Posted by Grae Westgate - May 28, 2017

Walking into the Excel this weekend for the first of MCM’s Comic Con events of the year, VultureHound were once again greeted by the usual swarms of superfans, each dressed as their oft obscure fantasy heroes. Amongst them, however, one fandom shone like no other. A fandom so fierce in their love for their show

We Bare Bears – Daniel Chong (Q&A)

Posted by Grae Westgate - March 16, 2017

This week, Cartoon Network UK unveiled all-new episodes of We Bare Bears which follows three bear brothers, Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear, who crave nothing more than to be “Internet Famous” and would give today’s internet stars like Zoella and Joe Sugg a run for their money. Here's an insight into the show's creation with showrunner
