Magic Camp is a film that I’ve been following for a while. The film was announced years ago even mentioning that Steve Martin was going to be involved in the writing at one point. It was then set for a 2018 theatrical release before being pulled from the release schedule entirely. Eventually, it was decided to debut the film on Disney+ (sans Steve Martin as a screenwriter though). Based on the trailer as well as what I knew of the story, I got Heavyweights vibes from this project. What did I think of the film after finally watching it? Read on to find out!

7 Years!

Today is the 7th anniversary of this blog! I started my journey through the live-action Disney films on August 12, 2013 with Oz: The Great and Powerful. I’ve covered a lot of ground, but still have a ways to go until I complete the entire filmography.

I want to thank you all for all the support you’ve given me over the years, both those of you who have been here since the beginning as well as those of you who have only discovered my blog recently! Thanks so much!

One aspect of this blog is that I’m not reviewing any documentaries on it. Especially not any of the nature documentaries Disney has produced over the years be it True-Life Adventures or Disneynature productions. However, I can still end up with the short end of the stick when Disney releases live-action Disney films that may just as well be nature documentaries. A Tale of Two Critters is one such film.

Released in 1977 as a double feature alongside The Rescuers, this film is only 48 minutes long, barely making it feature film length! I already know I’m not going to enjoy this since it’s mostly watching two animals do things with narration in the background, so let’s hurry up and get this over with. Here’s A Tale of Two Critters.
