Kids Flix Mix 2 is a collection of shorts, of which Paige has reviewed several:

At the Opera
All the people at the opera are crying their eyes out and tears are everywhere, I mean everywhere; everyone is crying. At the end there is an uncommon surprise!

Paper Touch
Paper Touch is about an animated paper ball that goes through a pinball machine and makes one thing turn into another thing. For example, paper cones bloom into flowers when touched by the paper ball. The pinball machine is really big. This movie made me feel happy because it is fun and colorful.

I’m Going to Mum’s
This live action film is about a boy that goes back and forth between his mom and dad’s houses, and he wears a bunch of clothes. When he gets to the last place, he has 20 layers of clothes on. On one trip he wore a “Bank of Dad” t-shirt to his mom’s. And when he went to his dad’s, he wore a shirt that says “I Heart Mom.” There is a funny part where his dad says he cannot have breakfast until he takes his shower. So, Jacob turns on the shower, but does not go in the shower. He comes into the kitchen and tiptoes to the refrigerator to get breakfast. Then he sneaks back to his mom’s without a shower. Jacob is unhappy because his parents are fighting and they are divorced. He wears a lot of clothes because his dad puts him in clothes that his dad likes and his mom puts him in clothes that she likes.

Lola
Lola is about two dolls that are in a store, and one doll gets purchased, and the other doll tries to find the doll. The one doll goes around the world to find his friend. He goes to Grand Canyon, Paris, San Francisco, London, the Arctic Ocean, and many other places. As long as you try, you will always find your friend. This film made me feel sad if I ever lost my best friend. This film is not animated.

Fresh Guacamole
This is one of my favorite short films. It is about a person making fresh guacamole, and he gets a bunch of objects and turns them into other objects. For example, he turns a pincushion that looks like a tomato into red dice. When he is done making guacamole, he gets poker chips as chips. And he eats it. When he puts the poker chip in the guacamole, the poker chip breaks. It almost feels like it is real ingredients.

Extinction of the Saber-toothed Housecat
This film is a combination of animation and live action. This film is very funny. It is about a cat that is sleeping at first. Then he wakes up in the field, sits in the field and just stares there. He is licking his paws and “boom” something happens.
