I know nothing about the Final Fantasy movie -just noticed there are two
(or more?) of them.

Are they any good and, more importantly, are the any good for a 6 year
old boy who seems to be certain Santa Claus is bringing one to him.?

Slightly OT: I know, but only mildly.

....meant to add, if you can think of any better/ cheerier but somewhat
similar movies available (on Blu Ray preferably) please let me know.
We've done Ghibli and a few others like Tenchi Muyo. I don't really want
to get him started on heavy "collectathon" Animes -just a single
standalone movie or two would be nice.

Advent Children is a bit incoherent, especially if he's not played
FFVII.

The Spirits Within is an OK sci fi movie with some uncanny (but
impressive for the year) CGI actors.

That's probably for the best then. Of all the options, Santa's bringing
the one that's most likely to entertain both the adults and the children.

The scientist played by Ming-Na is charged with finding the seven
whatsits, and from my description you can guess the price of her efforts
at the end of the picture. Thankfully, the movie jettisons the whole anime
quest structure by picking up the hunt near the end, rather than
portraying the rigorous process of finding each orb/fairy/shard/triforce
piece. The picture ends on a sad, wordless scene, which I suspect happened
because they ran out of money and rendering cycles.

They always seemed rather pointless to me.
I was a big fan of the games and then the movie appeared and... it had
pretty much nothing to do with the series.
for ' the spirits within' the makers were obsessed with trying to look
as much like real people as possible - very bland colour - unlike the
games, no chocobos, no moogles, no laughs - it was as if they thought
they were making a modern day 2001.
most children would be bored silly I dare say.
