The House Of Magic (2013) 7/10

Starring : Murray Blue, George Babbit, Shanelle Gray, Grant George, Doug Stone
Director : Jeremy Degruson & Ben Stassen
Running Time : 86 mins

A cat named Thunder (Blue) is abandoned and finds himself in a mysterious house, owned by a magician named Lawrence (Stone) and filled with all of his magic act animals. A rabbit named Jack (Babbit) has it in for Thunder and tries to get rid of him, but ends up putting the magician in hospital, which gives his estate agent nephew Daniel (George) the opportunity he’s been looking for for years to sell his uncles house out from under him. Now Thunder, Jack and the rest of the magic house inhabitants must unite to stop him from selling their home.

This movie was actually not that bad. I didn’t expect much, what with it being made by a movie studio I hadn’t heard of before (nWave Pictures?), but the characters were likeable and the story was fun and easy to follow, though it was a predictable plot that has been done to death many times before. There aren't any big names in the voice cast, but still, the kids will love it.
