A boy gets a very cute pet who needs three rules for a trouble-free life: no bright light, no water, and no food after midnight. And like any American child, it is clear that the protagonist is breaking all the rules, causing his town to be attacked by naughty monsters and thirst for entertainment and violence.

One-Eye. On this journey, they will have to trust and rely on each other if they are to survive.

Back to the future
A film that practically defined the concepts of time travel in the cinema, Back to the Future is an adventure that crosses the generations and has aged too well. The plot is about a young aspiring musician who befriends a mad scientist. When called upon to film a historical experience, things go wrong and he ends up returning to the past, where he will have to convince his parents to leave so that he does not disappear in the future.
