Today’s review has been requested by a longtime follower of the blog, oscarstainton. I’ve been reviewing a lot of films recently dealing with animals, jungles, and the like and this one’s no different. Arguably, the most famous cinematic ape is King Kong. But, the creators of the 1933 King Kong film made another film in 1949 also centered around a massive ape entitled, Mighty Joe Young. Disney would remake this film in 1998 which would end up flopping at the box office! So, is this film truly a monster or is there beauty hidden within? Read on to find out!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

Today, I tackle yet another request from a fellow blogger and friend, Simoa, from Champagne for Lunch. You could say that the film she requested is out of this world! It’s The Cat from Outer Space.

"Not sure if that's an interesting or stupid title....actually no, it's a stupid title."

Yeah, the title is quite stupid. Was the film stupid too or did I actually find myself enjoying it? Let’s go through my review to find out!

As you all know, I wasn’t really a fan of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I couldn’t fathom how that movie garnered over a billion dollars at the worldwide box office! But, it was no surprise to me that Disney decided to make a sequel to the film.

Released 6 years later, the sequel couldn’t compete at all with its predecessor and underperformed at the box office. I hoped that this would halt Disney’s plans on remaking more of its animated films!

I think this makes it highly unlikely!

 Anyway, I eventually saw this film. Is it as bad as people say it is? Or does it have some level of goodness to it that’s been overlooked? Get your looking-glasses handy and let’s take a look at Alice Through the Looking Glass together!
