Pinocchio (2022)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

This was a film that I was dreading to watch. I’d heard so many bad things about it. A fellow reviewer even referred to it as the worst thing that Disney’s ever produced which really had me worried! Eventually I checked it out and boy, it’s…it’s something, alright.

Here’s my review of the live-action remake of Disney’s Pinocchio!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

The Biscuit Eater (1972)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

Directed by Disney veteran, Vincent McEveety, The Biscuit Eater was the last of Disney’s “One Boy and his Animal”-themed films. A remake of a 1940 film, the source material was a short story by James Street. Should this film be more well-known or is it totally fine remaining in obscurity? Read on to find out!

Rise (2022)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

When I had first heard about this film, I didn’t really have much of an opinion on it. I’m not into basketball, so was very unfamiliar with who Giannis Antetokounmpo was. I just figured it would be a biopic about him and his NBA career. But it turned out to be more about him, his family, and his pre-NBA life which was quite inspiring and enjoyable. Here is my review of Rise.

Third Man on the Mountain (1959)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

The Matterhorn Bobsleds are a pair of beloved roller coasters at Disneyland, so much so that many are saddened at its current closure due to refurbishment. Some may not know though that the ride was inspired by the live-action Disney film, Third Man on the Mountain. Let’s take a look at the movie today, shall we?

Hollywood Stargirl (2022)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

Apparently Stargirl was either popular or successful enough to warrant a sequel. However the sequel film (again directed by Julia Hart) would not be based on the sequel novel to the original Stargirl. Does this original story help this sequel film or hurt it? Read on for my review of Hollywood Stargirl!

Cheetah (1989)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

While not a popular film, Cheetah, is somewhat notable for having the distinction of being the Disney film that introduced the Swahili phrase, “Hakuna Matata” to the Western World. This was a whole five years before another Disney film would be released!

Yep, Squanto, exactly!

But should Cheetah be remembered for more than just that? Read on for my review of the film!

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

The animated Disney television series are beloved by many, so much so that it’s led to a couple of them being rebooted including DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. Another series that would get this treatment would be Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, but it would be rebooted as a live-action/animated hybrid film rather than as an animated  television series. Today, we will take a look at said film. Read on for my review of the Akiva Schaffer-directed film, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers!

Perri (1957)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

This has got to be the most blatant of the Disney documentaries posing as wannabe fictional films! Heck, they even label it as a “True-Life Fantasy” akin to their documentaries being labeled as “True-Life Adventures”! But don’t be fooled, while based on a book by Felix Salten (Bambi), this is essentially a documentary! Without further ado, here is my review of Disney’s Perri.

Better Nate Than Ever (2022)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

While we’ve had Disney movies revolving around musical theatre (eg. High School Musical), I don’t think we’ve ever had a Disney movie revolving around Broadway before. Well, that wrong has been righted by Better Nate Than Ever, the Disney+ film directed by Tim Federle based on his novel of the same name. Does this turn out to be a smash hit or does it not have any business even being an Off-Broadway production? Read on for my thoughts!

The Journey of Natty Gann (1985)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

When Patton Oswalt married Meredith Salenger in 2017, most people knew her as the titular character in the Disney film, The Journey of Natty Gann. I was aware of the film, but hadn’t seen it before. The time has come for me to finally check it out! Join me along The Journey of Natty Gann!
