Scooby-Doo is a part of childhood just as much as it was for you or your kids. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone out there who doesn’t know the brown hair dog who lives to eat and solve* mysteries. I put the asterisk there because Scoob may always catch the bad guy; however, it is … More Scoob! (2020)
It may be a harsh thing to say, especially given the severity of the issue, but not having every big-budget movie get released to the masses turned out to be a blessing. Trolls were very popular when I was a kid. Then when I became an adult, a blockbuster movie (and number one song) brought … More Trolls World Tour (2020)
Soul was another 2020 summer blockbuster that got pushed to the end of the calendar year. Originally slated as a theatre release, Soul found its way to Disney+ on Christmas Day. Joe (Jamie Foxx) is a talented music teacher who is also an amazing jazz piano player. He is just waiting to catch a break … More Soul (2020)
I’m 38 years old, which means that Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas was already 16 years old when I was born. This classic animated movie is a holiday staple every season and is my generation’s go-to Grinch movie. I haven’t seen this particular entry in ages, which meant I was completely shocked to … More How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
It is quite amazing that I’ve never been a big fan of Dr. Seuss’ Grinch character. There are so many similarities between myself and the Grinch. We are not huge fans of the Christmas season, and we both tend to be grumpy all the time. I tend to go against the grain with everything in … More Dr. Seuss’ the Grinch (2018)
Klaus ended up being the Christmas animated masterpiece we never knew we needed. There could be a thousand words to describe this Oscar nominee, but the only you need is beautiful. Klaus has to be one of the most beautifully animated movies I’ve ever seen. Couple those pen strokes with one of the most original … More Klaus (2019)
I was only 12 years old when The Lion King was released and gave Disney one of the greatest economic boosts in their history. As a kid, I never got into the hype of this classic movie. However, the soundtrack was one of the original five CDs I ever own (still got it too). As … More The Lion King (1994)
I was only 11 years old when The Nightmare Before Christmas was released in 1993. If you dig through a box of childhood books in my closet, you will find that I still own the movie’s Scholastic novelization. For the last two decades, I have often been mocked for liking this movie so much. Yes, … More The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
It came as quite a surprise to my wife, but I couldn’t hide from the truth. I had never seen the Corpse Bride, that was until a few days ago. She convinced this was a great movie with beautiful animation and great characters. I had been convinced all this time that this animated movie wouldn’t … More Corpse Bride (2005)
When we sat down to watch Frankenweenie (for the second time ever) on Disney Plus, little did we know that there was a Frankenweenie short from 1984! Just when I thought Tim Burton came up with all these ideas on his own, I was wrong. A Frankenweenie story already existed, which really throws a wrench … More Frankenweenie (2012)
