So, Disney and their live-action remakes of their animated classics…

here we go again

Ever since they became popular, I’ve been staunchly against these remakes and thought that the first two of these films, Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent, were just horrible! Now, comes the third in the series, Cinderella, and they say third time’s a charm! Is this one any good? Will it change my views on these live-action Disney remakes? Let’s find out!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

On September 1, 2015, actor Dean Jones passed away at the age of 84. Disney fans were quite saddened by this as the lovable actor with “boyish good looks” was a staple in many live-action Disney films acting in 10 total!

He's probably the actor who's acted in the most Disney films. Could somebody verify that for me, please?

To pay tribute to the man, I thought it appropriate to review one of his films. I’ve already reviewed one of his films on this blog already, The Love Bug. This time, I’m reviewing The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit.

It’s kinda weird that for my “newer Disney movies review”, I’m doing 2 sports films back-to-back. I didn’t plan it that way; that’s just how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

This one, on the other hand, crumbled away from the center outwards after having previously been dropped.

Today, we’re going to look at a movie focusing on cross-country running, a sport that I’ve personally never thought about much less watched a film about. Is it any good? Let’s take a look at McFarland, USA!

50 Movies Milestone!

Hello readers,

I’ve finally hit a milestone and reviewed 50 movies (well, 52, to be precise) on this live-action Disney blog of mine. When I started this blog in 2013, I did it out of a desire to watch and review these films as this was a niche that nobody else seemed to have covered. It also helped my blogging skills and has been great fun! I’m glad that I never quit and actually made it to the big 50!

I wanna thank you readers for making this blog as such a success as it is and giving me a reason to continue it! We’re far from finished, but I just wanna say I appreciate all that you’ve done so far!

So to celebrate, let me know in the comments which has been your favorite review of mine on this blog. Also don’t forget that you can click on the Index button at the top left to see an alphabetical index of all the movies that I’ve reviewed so far. You can also click on the Ranking the Films button on the top left to see how the films rank so far from best to worst.

Thanks again! Here’s to the next 50 films!

It was one of the last films personally produced by Walt Disney. However it’s not a particularly well-known film. Since there’s nothing more I can say in the introduction, let’s jump straight into the review. Let’s take a look at The Gnome-Mobile.
