Something There That Wasn’t There Before: Beauty and the Beast 2017

Like many others, I will admit to being afflicted with a bit of "live-action overkill" when it comes to Disney animated classics being "reborn" with live actors, or in the case of Jungle Book, an actor and a lot of computer animation. Disney has waved its magic wand to varying degrees of success ... Read More

Captain America: Civil War – Bonus Features on Blu-ray and DVD

The latest installment in the MCU, or Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Civil War does not disappoint with traditional Marvel action and storyline twists. While I am not a super Marvel nerd and knowledgable on all the comic backstories, I almost like it better that way, so I can be still ... Read More

Jungle Book Swings onto DVD and Blu-ray

The Jungle Book live action film was one of my favorites this past year. I was suspect that it wouldn't translate well to live-action, but it was absolutely beautiful. Neel Sethi as Mowgli is a perfect natural. To see behind the scenes how he had to perform without the benefit of all the other ... Read More

REVIEW: Zootopia is a Whole New World of Disney Animation

I will admit it, when I first heard about and saw snippets about Zootopia, I wasn't super excited. "Another movie about animals that can talk,what will make this one any different," I thought. I then saw the sloth DMV scene at the D23 Expo, laughed, and thought it had some promise. I do love Jason ... Read More

  • My favorite section of #Batuu was the Market area. In all of the previews and presentations I’d seen of Galaxy’s Edge, this seemed like the most unique and intriguing, and it did not disappoint. The amount of detail that is in this small section is mind-boggling. It is open-air and HOT, even at night but that only adds to the authenticity of the space. I can’t wait to go back and explore more. Here are a few photos just of the top of the marketplace (I love lighting shots what can I say) as well as a peek at Ronto Roasters, the area behind the market and the entrance to the market at night.
  • I know Galaxy’s Edge has been covered far and wide, and even tho I am an original movie fan, I wasn’t *incredibly* excited to see this new land. However - I was really blown away by the the details. Honestly, it didn’t matter to me that it was Star Wars, but the fact that I had that vague familiarity made it seem more comfortable and welcoming. Anyway, I’ll have a blog post up soon with my thoughts but I just wanted to share some of my nighttime photos. ✨Rising Moons! 🌕

  • These Simba and Nala plush are so cute and for every one sold globally, Disney will donate $5 to the Wildlife Conservation Network in support of the Lion Recovery Fund and its local partners. A truly worthy purchase! 🦁🦁 #TheLionKing #ProtectThePride #hosted
