Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

" The concept might not be as high as alien invasion or mouthy mammoths, nor the art on the level of Pixar or Miyazaki or Selick, but in terms of sheer fun, this is the one to beat in ’09." — Empire Magazine Australasia

Charlie & Boots (2009)

" With so many Aussie movies going out of their way to be depressing, it’s tempting to hope local filmmakers might lay off the doom and gloom. But here comes Charlie & Boots to remind us to be careful what we wish for." — Empire Magazine Australasia

Fragments (2009)

" It’s a worthy effort, and Woods pieces the parts together with skill and sensitivity. But, perhaps weighed down too heavily by its subject matter, Winged Creatures never takes flight." — Empire Magazine Australasia

Land of the Lost (2009)

" Land Of The Lost is flimsy stuff, but in an appealing way. Its brainlessness and lightness of touch and ability to turn in a new direction in the blink of an eye keeps it ticking over and means it’d be churlish to say much bad about it." — Empire Magazine Australasia
