Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
Amongst the multiple live-action remakes of animated films being made by Disney, one of them was Peter Pan. Now this one felt a bit more palatable since it can be seen as a new adaptation of the Peter Pan story (something that has been done so many times in film and TV) rather than a remake of the animated 1953 film itself. Directed by David Lowery, the film debuted on Disney+ rather than going to cinemas. Is it a wonderful thought? Read on for my review of Peter Pan & Wendy!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on May 19, 2023!
Popeye (1980)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
Who would have thunk that Disney would have made a film about the spinach-loving cartoon sailor, Popeye? Well, in a rare co-production with another studio (Paramount Pictures, in this case), they did! Growing up with the Popeye cartoons, I always had an affection for the characters: him, Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Wimpy, and Brutus (I was more familiar with the antagonist being named Brutus rather than Bluto). I never read the actual Popeye comic strip until much later in life. How does this Robert Altman-directed film hold up as an adaptation? Read on to find out!

Chang Can Dunk (2023)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
It seems like every year, Disney puts out at least one sports-themed live-action film. Today, we take a look at the Jingyi Shao-directed basketball film, Chang Can Dunk!

Summer Magic (1963)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
I’ve already reviewed five of the six films that Hayley Mills made for Disney, so it was inevitable that I would eventually complete the set.
Directed by James Neilson, Summer Magic is a Sherman Brothers musical set in early 20th Century Maine. I hadn’t seen it before, but heard good things from many of my Disney friends. Did I agree with them? Read on for my review of Summer Magic.
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Post Delayed!
