Frozen 2 Review

This is normally a spoiler free zone, and the first half of the review is indeed spoiler free. However, I will analyze and discuss the plot later on with spoilers, but don't worry- there will be plenty of signs before there are spoilers! It was incredibly hard, but I was a good mom and took [...]

First Dumbo in March (which, confession, I haven't seen yet), Aladdin landed last weekend, and this summer is bringing Toy Story 4 and The Lion King (excuse me while I squeal uncontrollably while jumping up and down), and fall is heralding in Frozen II. So it's kind [...]

The Hate U Give Book and Movie Review
