“Encanto” is a somewhat enchanting movie

I haven’t loved a lot of Disney’s newer movies; either they’re missing that kind of Disney magic with notable songs and fun villains, or perhaps I’ve just aged out of them.

Disney’s Frozen II is not the sequel we asked for or needed. And it’s still a let down

It’s a bit late for this hot take, but 2019 has been the year of unnecessary and just kind of shitty Disney sequel films. Particularly animated ones. I mean from what I heard even Endgame ended up being a disappointment.'   It’s not exactly making me excited for the new Star Wars film, but that… Continue reading Disney’s Frozen II is not the sequel we asked for or needed.
