My Thoughts: DESPICABLE ME 2 (2013)

Gru, the girls, and the Minions are back in this blockbuster sequel. Is it worth its nigh one billion dollar worldwide gross? Well, let’s take a look at it! Continue reading “My Thoughts: DESPICABLE ME 2 (2013)”

My Thoughts: PLANES (2013)

With the financial success of the “Cars” series, it was only a matter of time before Disney tried to cash in on other venues of the same universe. That’s where “Planes” comes in. Continue reading “My Thoughts: PLANES (2013)”

My Thoughts: TURBO (2013)

I don’t even know how to start talking about this film.

That’s a good idea! Ok, so “Turbo” is Dreamworks Animation’s 2nd animated film of 2013 (after “The Croods”). It’s about a snail who races in the Indy 500.

Sigh…this is going to be harder than I thought, let’s try again! Continue reading “My Thoughts: TURBO (2013)”

1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!

It’s been a year since I started this blog!!!! WOO!!!!

I never thought I’d have the stamina to keep up with a blog, much less keep up with it for a year. Nor did I think much people would read it, but I have over 120 subscribers! Thanks so much to you all for making this a successful blog! Hopefully my other blog, “My Live Action Disney Project” will become just as popular!

In honor of my one-year anniversary, let me know in the comments what your favorite post on my blog has been and what your least favorite has been.

Thanks once again!

My Thoughts: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (2013)

I wasn’t too excited when I heard that a prequel to “Monsters, Inc.” was in the making. Yes, I LOVE “Monsters, Inc.” (it’s my favorite Pixar film), so I was excited to see my favorite characters return in a cinematic production. But at the same time, I didn’t want to be disappointed by them appearing in a less-than-mediocre prequel.

Anyway, I finally watched the movie. What did I think of it? Well, let’s talk about the film first. Continue reading “My Thoughts: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (2013)”

My Thoughts: THE CROODS (2013)

I really wasn’t looking forward to any of Dreamworks Animation’s films that were coming out this year. “The Croods” seemed stupid and boring. “Turbo” seemed stupid and boring. And “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” (which was pushed back to a 2014 release) seemed…well….I had no interest in it, since I wasn’t familiar with the original show that it was based on. So all in all, I wasn’t looking forward to watching any of these.

But when you’re “The Animation Commendation”, it’s a sin not to watch these movies and even more a sin not to review them. With that said, I ended up watching “The Croods” when it came out on DVD. What’d I think? It was boring and I didn’t like it.

"Oh, that's it? Right, we can go now!" — “Oh, that’s it? Right, we can go now!”

Ok, I’ll be more detailed about it. Continue reading “My Thoughts: THE CROODS (2013)”

My Thoughts: EPIC (2013)

Well, it’s been a while since I did a “My Thoughts” and just look at the movie that I chose to resume with!

As you may or may not know, “Epic” was probably my LEAST anticipated movie of the year! It was made by Blue Sky Studios, which is an animation company that I’m not fond of; it featured a plethora of celebrity voice actors, which is an animation technique that I’m not fond of; and it just seemed like such a familiar story!

So, I finally saw the film and what did I think? Well, let’s talk about the film first. Continue reading “My Thoughts: EPIC (2013)”

Indexes

Hey readers,

Just wanted to point out that I’ve, in the past week or so, put up a new page entitled “My Thoughts Index” (You can find the button at the top of the page). Basically it’s an alphabetical index of all the animated films that I’ve done a “My Thoughts” on. Hopefully, this will provide for easier searching for past reviews and a more organized site.

I also have the “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters Index” button at the top of the page, in case you’ve never noticed it before. There you can find all the movies of the Disney Canon in chronological order as well as find my forgotten/minor character posts that I’ve done for each film till date for my project.

Hope this helps keep things more organized!
