Wow, once one beloved celebrity dies, there seems to be a string of other celebrity deaths that follow!
Today we mourn the loss of the beloved comedian and actor, Jonathan Winters, who passed away yesterday on April 11, 2013. He had appeared in many movies and television shows over the years and was one of the last surviving old-time comedians. Continue reading “Comedian and Actor Jonathan Winters Dies at 87!”
Wow, I can’t believe that I’ve done 30 of these already!
We are still in the Disney Renaissance and are taking a look at arguably, the best film in the Disney Renaissance. This film was a massive hit, both critically and commercially!

This film is my favorite animated Disney Canon film! This film is my favorite animated Disney film! This film is my favorite Disney film! This film is my favorite animated film! And this film is one of my favorite films in general!
Please welcome “Beauty and the Beast”! Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #30: The Old Beggar Woman/The Beautiful Enchantress”
Ok, so apparently, there’s this phenomenon called “tagging” in WordPress, and I’ve just been tagged by Meera Darji, a fellow lover and reviewer of films. Check her blog out!
What this means is that I have to answer 11 questions that she asked me. Then, I have to “tag” 11 fellow bloggers and ask them 11 different questions. So, this should be fun! Continue reading “I’ve Been Tagged!”
As you may know, I’m not a fanatical fan of Dreamworks Animation films; but I still have seen almost all of them and for the most part, enjoy what I see. But I’ve never been ecstatic or pumped up to see any one of their films….that is, until “Rise of the Guardians”!
When I saw the trailer for this film and the gorgeous animation/animated effects, I was mesmerized in a way that I’ve never been before in regards to a Dreamworks Animation film! And being a guy who doesn’t really go to the cinemas to see films; I was anxiously awaiting the DVD release of this film so that I could finally see it! And then, when this film didn’t do as well as the company had hoped for; I was shocked and that further fueled my desire to see this film!
Well, I finally watched it! So, what do I think? Well, let’s see! Continue reading “My Thoughts: RISE OF THE GUARDIANS (2012)”
Beloved film critic, Roger Ebert (1942-2013), known for his thumbs-up/thumbs-down film reviews as well as for his partnership with Gene Siskel has died today at the age of 70! He’s the first celebrity to die this year whom I was a fan of!
Fun Fact: He and his professional partner Gene Siskel lent their voices and likenesses to an episode of “The Critic”.
He will be greatly missed and his death is a big thumbs-down!
We arrive at the 29th film in the Disney Canon, “The Rescuers Down Under”. It’s the first animated sequel to a Disney film (“The Rescuers”), as well as the first sequel in the Canon itself. And in my opinion, it’s better than the original, but not vastly better! So let’s take a look into this film! Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #29: The Hawaiian Operator”
Yeah, I’m going obscure again! Let’s talk about this film before we get to the character of choice! Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #28: The Princess of Glowerhaven”
Dreamworks Animation’s first animated film of the year seems to be a hit with audiences after opening with a weekend gross of $44 million! Have you seen this movie? What did you think about it? Do you want to see this movie? Let me know in the comments!
I, for one, was not excited about this animated film, nor am I excited about Dreamworks Animation’s next animated film that’s planned for release this year!
But everybody’s saying to give this movie a chance! I’ll most likely watch this when it comes out on DVD!
The year is 1988. The film is Disney’s 27th animated feature, “Oliver & Company”, a twist on Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist” except taking place in present-day New York and with animals!
There’s a lot to say about this film so let’s waste no further time!

I just want to offer my sincerest apologies for bringing this post extremely late! I had some delay in obtaining a copy of today’s film!
And what is today’s film, you may ask? Well, it’s Disney’s 26th animated feature, “The Great Mouse Detective” or as it’s sometimes been known, “The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective” (which is kinda misleading, since the movie is really only about one particular adventure of the great mouse detective)! Regardless, let’s take a look at this movie! Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #26: Mrs. Judson”
