This is part of my series “Thoughts on Disney movies,” where I’ve gone back to watch all of the animated Disney features, starting with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, and then share my thoughts on the blog.

Disney news, rumors, and round up: October 2019
Happy October! As Disney ends its fiscal year we see some interesting news popping up – particularly about cutting entertainment or other cost saving measures, like replacing photopass photographers with photo boxes. At the same time, prices are increasing everywhere which means that a lot of Disney fans are unhappy with many of these changes. […]
Disney news, rumors, and round-up: August 2019
Once again exciting things will be happening this month! Galaxy’s Edge will finally open in Disney World in Florida (it’s been open in Disneyland since June). Cast member previews have started, annual passholder previews will be in the middle of the month (I’ll be there on August 19th!) and then the grand opening is August […]
The Lion King live action review
The live action version of The Lion King is a good movie. It is only a good movie because it is a re-creation of an amazing movie that had a fantastic plot, soundtrack, and dialogue, but it is an inferior re-creation. If we lived in a world where the animated Lion King didn’t exist, I […]

Aladdin live action review
Disney has been going strong with the live action remakes of classic animated films, and they’ve been hit or miss – both with the public and myself. While I loved Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, I hated Maleficent and Dumbo. Aladdin had faced a fair bit of criticism before release, both due to Will […]
Avengers: Endgame thoughts
Just like when Avengers: Infinity War came out, I don’t feel comfortable writing a “review” of the movie. I’d rather just share my thoughts. The Marvel movies, and especially the Avengers, are extremely sentimental and emotional for many people, and I don’t want to nitpick things in a review. While I enjoy the Marvel films […]
Thoughts on Atlantis: The Lost Empire
This is part of my series “Thoughts on Disney movies,” where I’ve gone back to watch all of the animated Disney features, starting with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, and then share my thoughts on the blog. Highlights: I really like Milo as a character, and Michael J. Fox’s voice work is of course […]
