You know it’s weird, both Boss Baby 2 and Hotel Transylvania 4 were slate for a September release, but they are both coming in July instead. Most likely to make up for Minions being postponed.

AniMatt has reviewed The Boss Baby: Family Business:
Story: 4/10 Animation: 9/10 Characters: 4/10
Overall: 6/10 = 57%
He actually found it better than the original, but that’s not saying much. Now, here’s how the films rank:
1. Raya and the Last Dragon - 90% 2. Luca - 87% 3. The Mitchells vs. the Machines - 83% 4. Wish Dragon - 60% 5. The Boss Baby: Family Business - 57% 6. Spirit: Untamed - 47%

Huh. Looks like the animation was a big saving grace on this one. I'm not going to run out to see this, but it at least it got two points higher than the first.
Also I saw an ad for The Addams Family 2 and I have to say, it looks like we are getting another Hotel Transylvania 3.

I actually read that Brian Hull, who does Character Voices on YouTube, is the voice of Dracula in this Films, now.
Or, is it more the case where it is just for Spin-Off Material and not the main films, like when they get Tom Hanks Brother in to voice Woody for Spin-Off material of “Toy Story”?

From what I read, the fourth Hotel Transylvania will be called Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. The idea is that they are doing a reversal if sorts; the monsters become humans and the humans become monsters. Fittingly, it will be the final Hotel Transylvania, for this continuity at least. I know they needed some kids' movies in theaters, but that will one sign this may be the worst one yet. Other signs are Adam Sandler and Gennedy Tartokovsky have nothing to do with it.

Oh, Brian Hull is doing the Voice for the actual film, then?
So, It is some what like if Jim Hanks voiced Woody in “Toy Story IV”, rather than Tom Hanks, then?

Yup, you've figured out who's voicing Dracula in the last movie man.
I know this is not full animation, but AniMat did go and give his thoughts on Space Jam: A New Legacy.
He does say he does not hate the movie because, what's the point. It's a movie that is based on TV commercial after all. Not the type of movie you'd expect to be an Academy Award winner by any means.
However, he does say he does not care for the movie and gave it a 4/10 and his Seal of Garbage.
At least it scored higher than Tom and Jerry?

So I just got back from seeing Jungle Cruise. Surprisingly, there were no trailers for Encanto or Turning Red. Although I did see a trailer for another animated movie coming out this year that we apparently didn’t know about until just now: Ron’s Gone Wrong. This movie has been in production hell for a while, but it looks like it’s all set to come out this October. That being said, here is my new updated first initial thoughts list on this year: Raya and the Last Dragon - THE HYPE IS ON! The Mitchells vs. The Machines - Generic Crap! Spirit Untamed - Have I been living under a rock? Rock Dog 2 - Sure, I’ll take another one. Wish Dragon - An Aladdin rip-off. Luca - THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING! I CAN FEEL IT! Boss Baby: Family Business - Why, Dreamworks? Why??? Vivo - Who’s making this? Sony? It’s gonna suck. PAW Patrol: The Movie - Ready for action, Ryder, sir! My Little Pony: A New Generation - Farewell, G4. The Addams Family 2 - You just had to go there, didn’t you? Hotel Transylvania 4 - Why, Sony? Why??? Ron’s Gone Wrong - A Big Hero 6 rip-off. Encanto - I’m sensing a trend here. Sing 2 - Another one of these? Eh, why not? What do you think of that list Trey_Vore? Would you make any updates to yours?

Probably not. They're "first thoughts based on what's coming", not "first thoughts, now that I've seen it".
The Mitchells vs. the Machines is actually quite good, you should try watching it.

This weekend we are getting Vivo.
Wow. The reviews are actually really good. Here's the synopsis on Wikipedia:
Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 91% of 23 critics have given the film a positive review, with an average score of 6.80/10. The films critical consensus reads: "Vivo offers few surprises, but this attractively animated adventure is enlivened by the catchy songs contributed by star Lin-Manuel Miranda."[11] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 66 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Huh. I have something to look forward to this weekend!

Well, AniMatt’s review of Vivo is up, and…surprisingly, he actually found it good! Not good enough for his Seal of Approval, but…
Story: 6/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 6/10 Songs: 10/10
Overall: 8/10 = 80%
So pretty well-balanced film it sounds like.
So now, here’s the current rankings:
1. Raya and the Last Dragon - 90% 2. Luca - 87% 3. The Mitchells vs. the Machines - 83% 4. Vivo - 80% 5. Wish Dragon - 60% 6. Spirit: Untamed - 47%
Next up is the Paw Patrol movie. Something tells me, he’s going to give it a mediocre score.

Yep, I'm giving the movie a chance.
For your question Belchic, the Paw Patrol movie's listing on Wikipedia currently says this:
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93% based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 6.40/10. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

It looks like the Paw Patrol movie is only going to be playing in select theaters, because my local cineplex is not playing it, but another theater not too far from me will be playing it.
