Cruella Review
It’s not often that I like and dislike a movie. Here we are with Cruella. A movie that gets so many parts right and then doesn’t figure out how to best use those parts as a whole. Let’s dive right into this. First, it should be stated that I don’t hate this movie. In fact, I’m really pulling for a sequel to be made, as the parts that the film got right come in the form of actors, actresses, and mo...[Read More]

The Lion King – The Circle of Life Edition – Disney Signature Collection
A coming-of-age film that is a perfect example of how it’s done. Official Synopsis “The Lion King” follows the adventures of Simba, a feisty lion cub who cannot wait to be king, as he searches for his destiny in the great “Circle of Life.” That is one short and sweet synopsis, which is uncommon for movies these days. Anyway, just like the synopsis, the movie itself is simple, precise and doesn’t b...[Read More]
Beauty and the Beast
Hmm, I didn’t think the live-action version of this film would go so smoothly. The story of Beauty and the Beast hasn’t changed since its arrival in 1991 in half-animated/half-digital form. The story of a cursed prince that is saved (twice) by a Disney princess is a timeless classic that announced the re-arrival of Disney on the animated scene that was previously hurting in the 80s. Disney was in ...[Read More]
Bambi – Anniversary Edition / Walt Disney Signature Collection
I will shamefully admit that this is a Disney movie that I had never seen before. I can now check it off my bucket list. Disney took a chance on animated features when the world was shouting that they had no place in the movie business. Odds were defied with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, though Disney wasn’t satisfied with its success, or amused by the oscars presented to him for the fi...[Read More]
