Where Wall•E fans were prompted to feel defensive of their love of the personality-filled robot and his Apple-like companion, fans of Up are in good company. Since its release on May 26, Up has received almost exclusively positive reviews. RottenTomatoes (RT) lists only a few rotten reviews on their site, so Up achieves a 98% [...]
Opening day for a movie branded a “children’s film” by our culture is quite a sight to behold. There were lots of kids with not near as many parents, a couple of toddlers and at least one baby (who cried in the middle of the movie but wasn’t taken outside). We settled in and crossed [...]
D23 is getting a lot of flack for a perceived lack of “bang” for the consumer’s buck for buying into the club – and rightfully so! Those who would be inclined to buy into the club are already very likely a part of some online community that has probably existed longer than D23 has even been [...]
After having seen Wall-E twice while it was in theaters (once on opening night and once at a drive-in), I could hardly wait for it to come out on DVD so that not only could I watch the lovable little robot whenever I wanted, but I could also explore what I expected to be a [...]
For the first time in nine years, Pinocchio has been “removed” from the Disney Vaults and re-released on DVD. The cover exclaims that it’s the first time that it has been released on Disney DVD and Blu-Ray. The first thing to note is that we bought it from Target, which comes with an “exclusive” CD [...]
Back in July (was it really that long ago?), I posted the trailer for Bolt. Not being a fan of either Miley Cyrus or John Travolta, I was slightly skeptical about the movie. It didn’t look like it was going to be a must-see or must-have classic from Disney. The only part of the trailer that [...]
Johnathan and I braved late night and possible teeny-boppers to see Wall-E at the midnight release last night. Once upon a time, we would have had no problem with the midnight showing, even with work following the next day. Our schedules being what they are, though, it was a bit rough managing to stay up [...]
I’ve been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia series since I was about twelve years old when I got the books as a Christmas present. Considering the amount of time that I have been a fan of these books (which, I know, pales in comparison to others who read the books long before I [...]
I had the good fortune to be able to go to the movie theater last night with the intent of seeing The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Before the movie started, we were treated with the typical preview fare: a new epic action movie which promises to be woefully bad, if only for the inclusion [...]
I am a fan of Disney, that much is clear, but for as long as I can remember, I have also been a fan of the Disney theme parks. I think I could spend all of my time planning a new Disney trip. My fiance and I have begun our planning for our honeymoon, for [...]
