On a mission to watch every Disney movie. EVER.
Neither one of us had seen Hamilton before it was released as a movie on Disney+. I was so excited when I heard about this and was finally able to see what everyone was talking about. This did not disappoint at all! We really enjoyed it. It’s so cleverly written and beautifully performed. Josh Gad at King George was pure magic. Definitely check this out if you haven’t yet.
Yes! Finally!! I have been a huge fan of The Incredibles since day one. In fact, it is my favorite Pixar film, so I have been aching for the sequel. Of course, when you are in such anticipation for a movie to come out, it can often disappoint your expectations. But oh boy did The Incredibles 2 deliver! This movie was, well, incredible!! In keeping with the theme of the first one, this is about a family first and superheroes second. I love how real these characters are. The scene where Helen and Bob are sitting by the motel pool discussing what to do next for their family? Wow. This movie takes place right after the first one, we get to see the Parr family learning to really embrace themselves as a superhero family and learn how to deal with their new lives. Seriously, this movie is great. Elastigirl is the best!, Jack-Jack is freaking awesome and the villain is legit super creepy. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!
We were so excited to finally go and see Coco. And when we did, it did not disappoint. The animation of the land of the dead is so beautiful. I loved the flower bridge! Coco is a wonderful story about a young boy, Miguel, who just wants to play music. His family, however, is against it since his great grandfather left his great grandmother to be a musician. Miguel ends up in the land of the dead where he meets his ancestors. They must work fast to get Miguel back to the living before he is trapped there forever. Meanwhile, Miguel is trying to get his ancestors to bless his quest to become a musician. What we love about the movie is how it is really just about a real family. Miguel’s family still works the trade that his great great grandmother did to support his family and they all seem happy to do so together. Miguel doesn’t even seem to mind, he just wants to be able to play music too. We also loved learning about Dias de los Muertos and the traditions of the holiday. It really is so beautiful. And I bet by the end of the movie, you will want a dog like Dante. If you haven’t seen “Coco” please see it! It really is a great movie!
Who doesn’t love Jack Spar…excuse me, Captain Jack Sparrow? This movie is so fun. And if you are a fan of Disneyland, nothing it better than catching all the references to the classic ride from the park. This movie has a great story, fun characters, humor, a romance and tons of action. There is something for everyone. This is by far the best Pirates movie and if you have not seen it then you need to right now. GO!
I remember watching this movie for the first time as a kid in the theater and laughing hysterically. Now I am all grown up and I still laugh hysterically at it. Each character just has something to offer. Hercules provides the heroic action, obviously, Meg gives the sarcastic comments and the way Hades’s stupid silly sidekicks just annoy and anger him is so perfect. I just love this movie and if you have never seen it, SEE IT NOW!
