In 1961, the horse diver, Sonora Webster Carver, wrote a memoir about her life entitled A Girl and Five Brave Horses. 30 years later, Disney released a film based on the memoir entitled Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. Fortunately, Mrs. Carver was still alive at the time to see the film (she lived a very long life dying in 2003 at the age of 99). I personally hadn’t heard of this film at all until I decided to watch it for this blog. Did it break my heart? Read on to find out!

Karen Dotrice and Michael Garber appeared in three Disney movies together including Mary Poppins and The Gnome-Mobile. But, their first appearance together was in The Three Lives of Thomasina, the film of focus today. It is a masterpiece like Mary Poppins or more along the okay lines of The Gnome-Mobile? Let’s find out together!

Wanna See More Disney Film News?

The Animation Commendation3 Comments

Hello readers,

So ever since I made this blog 4 years ago or so, I’ve tried to keep it strictly for reviews of the live-action Disney films. However, I’ve been thinking about expanding the blog to include any live-action Disney film news that gets announced. I feel this would be interesting to you readers as well as provide more content to this blog rather than there just being one post a week.

But, what do you all think? Would you want to see live-action Disney film news on this blog? Or are you happy that it’s just reviews? Please lemme know via the poll as well as in the comments below! Thanks!

I don’t think any other review of mine on this blog has been more anticipated by you readers than today’s own! Knowing how I feel about these live-action remakes, in general, and knowing how the 1991 animated film is my favorite Disney film of all time, you can imagine that I have a lot to say regarding this remake! So without further ado, let’s delve into the Beauty and the Beast remake!

With there being 5 films in the Herbie franchise for me to review, you’d have thought that I would have reviewed another one of those films since 2013, but nope, I haven’t. So, it’s time to rectify that! Here’s my long overdue review for the franchise’s first sequel: the 1974 film, Herbie Rides Again!
