Skydance Animation’s Spellbound was a film that I was looking forward to seeing. Having been a fan of the studio’s debut film, Luck, I was pleasantly curious to see how their second feature would fare, especially since it was gonna be a princess story featuring songs by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater!
After having watched the film, here are my thoughts.

The 62nd film in the animated Disney Canon had a big role to play as it would be released during the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Studios! Do I think Disney’s Wish lived up to this hype? If not, do I at least think it’s a good enough film on its own?

Having seen the animated Spider-Man television series from the 90s as well as its spiritual successor, Spider-Man: Unlimited, I feel animated Spider-Man television series can do no wrong! To further cement that opinion in me, I’ve since watched a third animated Spider-Man television series entitled The Spectacular Spider-Man.

I’m personally not well-versed in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. My only exposure to it has been the animated 2007 film, TMNT, as well as the two theatrical films in the 2010s with Megan Fox.
So, I didn’t know what to expect from this latest theatrical offering. Everyone seemed to love it! Some people loved it even more than Spider-Man: Across Spider-Verse! What did I think? Read on to find out!

Being familiar with Disney’s animated television output in the 90s, I was aware of the television series, Gargoyles, but never watched it. I never even heard any of my friends or peers talk about the show! So when the show became available on Disney+, I knew I definitely wanted to give it a watch! Having completed the series, here are my thoughts!

It’s been no secret that my most anticipated animated film of the year was The Super Mario Bros. Movie! While I’m no scholar of the Mario universe, I, like most people, am familiar enough with the characters due to playing multiple Mario-related games. So, I decided to treat myself to watch this one not only in the theaters, but in 3D as well! What did I think? Read on to find out!

Skydance Animation is one of the newest animation studios on the block. Having been formed recently, it gained some controversy after hiring the recently ousted John Lasseter as its Head of Animation due to his sexual misconduct allegations at Pixar. This move even prompted actress Emma Thompson dropping out of the film, Luck.
Controversy aside, I finally saw Luck and what did I think of it? Read on to find out!

I enjoyed the first Puss in Boots film. It wasn’t anything amazing, but it was definitely my favorite film in the Shrek universe as I’m not really a fan of the Shrek films.
And I had known that a sequel to the film had been in development for a while. I remember when it was going to be called Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves. Having not heard anything for a while, I thought the film would just be cancelled altogether. But somewhat out of nowhere, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was scheduled to be released in 2022.
I knew that I wanted to see it, but was in no rush to until critic reviews started coming in. Multiple film reviewers I follow listed this as not just their favorite animated film of the year, but also one of their favorite films of the year! My curiosities were piqued, so I decided to check this film out in the theaters (something I don’t do often) and…I’m so glad that I did!
