“Coming right up!”

From Wonder Park

When June (Brianna Denski) and her mother (Jennifer Garner) created the imaginary amusement park Wonderland, they just needed the help of a few stuffed animals, but their imagination-fueled adventures soon developed into handmade ride miniatures that took over their house.  However, when June’s mother gets sick and has to go away for treatment, June abandons Wonderland and all her imaginative inventing and instead becomes protective and practical.  When her father (Matthew Broderick) sends her to summer camp, June is afraid there will be no one to look after him, so with the help of her best friend (Oev Michael Urbas) she sneaks off the bus and decides to cut back through the woods to get home.  Instead of finding her way home, she stumbles into a real life albeit abandoned, Wonderland.  Every single one of her imaginative rides has magically come to life, but is under attack from the cute-but-deadly chimpanzombies that are destroying the park more each day and feeding it to the darkness that looms overhead.  Along with the park, June also meets the park and ambassadors that she and her mother created: Greta the warthog (Mila Kunis), Boomer the bear (Ken Hudson Campbell), Steve the porcupine (John Oliver), and the beaver brothers Gus (Kenan Thompson) and Cooper (Ken Jeong).  June learns that along with destroying the park, the chimpanzombies have taken Peanut the chimpanzee (Norbert Leo Butz) who creates all the rides she and her mother dreamed up and unless the ride at the center of the park can be restarted by Peanut there will be no hope for Wonderland.  While June wants nothing to do with Wonderland until her mother comes home, she steps up to take care of the park and her friends before it’s gone for good.

This movie is full of action, humor, and just plain imaginative wonder.  Audiences of all ages will enjoy the story line that is simple at first glance but well-developed as a whole.  The voice acting features a talented cast that perfectly embodies their characters and the animation, both of characters and places, is done beautifully and seamlessly.  Not overly scary but thrilling enough to keep audiences engaged, Wonder Park a fun movie that the whole family can enjoy together.
