Lyricist Richard M. Sherman Dies at 95

Lyricist Richard M. Sherman has sadly passed away at the age of 95. Mr. Sherman (1928-2024) along with his brother, Robert, composed and wrote the songs for a plethora of Disney projects.

These included animated films (such as The Jungle Book and The Aristocats) to live-action films (such as Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks) to theme park attractions (such as It’s a Small World and Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress).

The prolific duo even did songs for non-Disney films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Snoopy, Come Home, Tom Sawyer, Charlotte’s Web, The Slipper and the Rose, and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

Our condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed!

My Top 13 Favorite Animated Disney (Canon) Films (2024 Edition)!

The first Top 13 list I did for this blog was actually about my favorite animated Disney Canon films. It was one of my most popular posts, if not my most popular post on this blog! However, that was 11 years ago and with all the films added to the Canon since then, I feel it’s time for a new list!

So sit back and relax for my updated Top 13 Favorite Animated Disney (Canon) Films list!

My Thoughts: WISH (2023)

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?

Read on to find out!

My Thoughts: GARGOYLES (1994-1997)

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!

(Caution, there will be mild spoilers!)

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried Dies at 67

In incredibly sad news, beloved comedian, actor, and voice actor, Gilbert Gottfried has passed away. Mr. Gottfried (1955-2022) was a stand-up comedian with very raunchy material, but was well-known for his voicework in animated projects.

Some of these include Thumbelina, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Animal Crackers, and Cyberchase. But his most famous voice role was that of the parrot, Iago, in Disney’s Aladdin franchise and other projects.

He shall be missed!

My Thoughts: TURNING RED (2022)

Sigh…the more I think about this film, the more I hate it! Sorry, you can already tell that this is going to be a negative review.

Pixar’s 25th film, Turning Red, was the third Pixar film in a row to be released on Disney+ instead of theaters. At first, I wasn’t supportive of this decision, but after seeing this film, I think it was the right thing to do. Without further ado, let’s take a look at Turning Red!

Warning: There will be spoilers ahead!
