Disney released Onward to buy and put it on Disney+ to help us all cope with this crazy quarantine lifestyle, and I am so grateful. I had the opportunity to see Onward at an advanced screening before Covid-19 started running our lives (you can read my full review here). I loved it and had planned on taking my four [...]
With Onward, Pixar once again finds a way to make us cry in public (thankfully movie theaters are dark!). Their latest movie is a laugh filled adventure with that classic Pixar deeper message tucked inside. This gorgeous animated film is the story of two brothers and their quest to use the dying art of magic to bring their [...]
Disney+ officially launches less than a month from now! I am so beyond excited. They've been offering little tidbits about what's coming. Thank goodness I signed up for the next 3 years- it'll take me that long to watch all this great content! Here's a sampling of what I'm most excited about. The Disney and [...]
Tis the season for squash and zucchini! When I stumbled upon a multipack at Costco I just couldn't resist, and when the children lacked the palette to enjoy my simple prep method, I began brainstorming a way to trick them into eating it (I know, mom of the year, right?!) Up until a few days [...]
The Little Mermaid falls under the topic of 'heated discussions' in our household. My husband (I would hope jokingly but I'm honestly not sure) is against the kids watching it, because Ariel deliberately disobeys her father. Then I provide the counterpoint of her father being anti-human, and how she opened his eyes to a new world. [...]
Never fear, there are no spoilers here! Pixar's highly anticipated sequel, Toy Story 4, comes to theaters today! When I looked up showtimes last weekend, I discovered there were a few showings at select theaters the night before the release. So naturally I began plotting, set up a babysitter, and the hubs and I had a date [...]
No need to fear, there's no spoilers here!So my love for Pixar and all its films isn't unknown. I try and be at the theater opening weekend to support their newest films, and for Incredibles 2 it wasn't a struggle. I've been looking forward to this release date since the title first appeared on an in-production [...]
Confession: I often get sucked into Buzzfeed articles. I know. It's honestly usually a time-waster, because knowing what type of sandwich I am isn't crucial material. But last night, I came across this article that discussed a Tweet in which someone made a March Madness style bracket to pit Disney and Pixar animated features against [...]
Pixar's newest film, Coco, released last Wednesday. It was SPECTACULAR.Olaf's Frozen Adventure was the short film that plays before the movie. I was thrilled to see all my favorite characters return, including Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven. This short had more songs than Frozen Fever, the short that aired before the live action Cinderella. The characters showed [...]
I'm currently reading Ed Catmull's Creativity, Inc., a nonfiction book on management and the founding of Pixar Animation Studios. I'm learning quite a bit about their history, and getting a behind the scenes look at each film. It's a little like taking a walk down memory lane, with the person who built memory lane.As someone [...]
