Aladdin has always been one of my favourite Disney movies. Mainly because of the Genie, and later still, mainly because of Robin Williams being the Genie. So when I found out the musical was coming to London, I was dead set on getting my hand on some tickets. Which we finally did, back on December … Continue reading

Zootropolis
Y’all know I love a good Disney movie. So obviously, I was super excited for Zootropolis. Which, by the way, should totally have stayed Zootopia (the original title). Trailers kept trickling in, veeeery slowly, and as the first reviews showed up online, I started to see that Disney had apparently made an animated movie just … Continue reading
The Good Dinosaur
Let’s imagine for a second that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs just passed us by. They’d rule the Earth right? Well at least Pixar thinks so. Set in what would be the USA now (some of it looked like Utah to me), the story revolves around this Apatosaurus family which is peacefully tending … Continue reading
I’m All Inside Out
Whenever there’s a new Disney/Pixar movie, I’m on tenterhooks until it’s out, feeding myself with trailers until it hits the big screen. Inside Out was the same, especially as there was no actual inkling on the plot for ages. Away on holiday for a long time, I had to wait until last week to finally … Continue reading
Tomorrowland
I didn’t really know what to expect from Tomorrowland when the first trailer emerged on the Internet. I thought Disney might have been clutching at straws, going from doing films based on their rides (Pirates of the Caribbean) to full-length features based on parts of their park (if you’ve never been, Tomorrowland is the place … Continue reading
Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella
I liked Disney’s Cinderella a lot when I was very young, and only ever in German. The mice sound a lot less annoying in that version, and since nothing much happens in the movie (there’s a lot more action in the Grimm version – think Into The Woods), you could just veg out in front … Continue reading
Big Hero 6
In case y’all didn’t realise it yet, I love Disney. A lot. Not as much as my flatmate, but she might be slowly filling in the blanks I have. So it’s no wonder that I went to see the latest Disney movie, Big Hero 6. Disney is once more taking its inspiration from literature (well, … Continue reading
Can We Truly “Let It Go”? Should We?
If you believe in Disney’s latest message, all we need to do in order to feel better and empowered is simply to “Let it go”. Even if incidentally, albeit accidentally, we froze our country and hurt our sister. But, let’s be honest here for one minute. Has is ever been that easy to just forget … Continue reading
Maleficent Or Sleeping Beauty 2.0
Well if you know Disney then you’ll know that they do enjoy rehashing their former glories every now and then. A new “humanised” version of Cinderella will be released in 2015. A new Lion King sequel and TV show is also in the making. And most of it is hit and miss. Maleficent, it has … Continue reading
Wreck-It Ralph
The latest Disney movie is a bit of a Toy Story lookalike, with characters from our favourite video games coming to life. The story happens in an arcade, where all kinds of video games cohabit peacefully. One of them, Fix-It Felix, features ‘bad guy’ Ralph (John C. Reilly), whose sole job it is to constantly … Continue reading
