No, this film isn’t about the DC superhero, Courtney Whitmore. Rather, this film is an adaptation of a Jerry Spinelli novel of the same name. Directed by Julia Hart, Stargirl debuted on Disney+ in March 2020. Do I think it’s a film deserving of a star or not? Read on to find out!

Similar to One Magic Christmas, this film probably doesn’t technically count as a Disney film since it seems that Disney only distributed it, rather than produced it. But since I’m not 100% sure, I’m going to play it safe and review it anyway. Read on for my review of the cult classic, Flight of the Navigator!

Let me start out by saying that while I’m a fan of Stephan Pastis’ work (Pearls Before Swine is probably my favorite comic strip ever), I’ve never read any of his Timmy Failure books. This isn’t surprising though as I wasn’t the target demographic of the books when they were published. So this Disney+ film is my introduction to the series, hence I can’t fairly judge whether or not this is a faithful adaptation. But, I can tell you whether or not I think the film is any good or just an utter…failure.

In 1925, a number of mushers along with their dog sled teams were involved in an effort to deliver antitoxins to diphtheria sufferers in the city of Nome, Alaska and the surrounding areas. Many, if not most, of those infected were children. This event became a national news story and one of the dogs named Balto became a national hero. A statue of him was erected in Central Park, New York, and even an animated film based on him was released in 1995.
However, director Ericson Core, tells us in this film about one of the forgotten canine heroes of this adventure: Togo. Is the film worth checking out? Read on to find out!

In 19th-century Scotland, a Skye Terrier later known as Greyfriars Bobby, famously spent 14 years guarding his owner’s grave until his own death. A statue of the dog was later erected in his memory and his story became famous throughout Scotland. In 1912, Eleanor Atkinson wrote a novel based on the story and in 1961, Disney released a live-action film based on the book. Is it any good? Read on to find out!
