Star Rating 4/5 stars

Why?: I like this movie because it has lots of great songs and the story is full of exciting and fun parts.

Scary Scale (1-10): 2/10

Why?: One scary part is before the the movie begins in the theater, there is a raccoon short about a raccoon mother who does not let her baby go outside of the den. At one point the baby sneaks outside for long enough that she meets a wolf who wants to eat him. His mother catches her, just in time but she gets a scar and later when the baby racoon grows up, she wants to protect her baby too. I dislike it because it was sort of sad that the baby gets a scratch, and it was not connected to the movies story.  I had to see it before the real movie because in the theaters they connected the two. 

The scary part in the actual movie is a flashback from when Abuela was a young adult. She and Mirabel's Abuelo had to leave their home when their city gets attacked and the attacking army kills Abuelo but it is off-screen.

I would love to see more of my fans so make sure to follow and be a awesome super cool fan and followers 😀.

Star rating: 3.7/5 stars

Why?: I like this movie because there are some really funny parts like an old lady who is obsessed with condensed milk and she even distracts a dangerous sheep from attacking them by leading it away with condensed milk. Also, Clifford is a really cute and funny puppy!

Scary scale: 4 out of 10 

Why?: The movie is a little bit scary because the team who wants to make giant food for money want to hurt Clifford. The team also is chasing Clifford all around New York City! Lastly, in the beginning Clifford's family is getting taken away by an animal rescue center but they leave Clifford behind by mistake. It is sad that he doesn't get to see his family again.
