Talkie Tuesday: Raya and the Last Dragon

 

"Someone has to take the first step." 

Hello everyone!

So this Sunday marked the break day for Men in Kilts, aka they didn't air the next episode and so I'm saving the fifth for next week because I decided to watch something entirely different on my one afternoon off.

If you look back through my blog posts you'll see that, often enough, I'll run into these Disney animated movies.

I mean, I grew up on these!

Not the 3D ones, obviously, but the original animated cartoons!

Still, Disney has definitely managed to hit the success button with a number of their newer animations, so when I saw the trailer for their latest endeavour, I thought to myself it was something I should probably watch eventually.

This past Sunday turned into that 'eventually', and then it was time for Raya and the Last Dragon.

Talkie Tuesday: Frozen II

"Step into your power."

Hello everyone!

So after about half a week of back and forth over whether or not there would be a blog post, I'm FINALLY back.

Unfortunately I sometimes suffer from headaches which occur because I either a) haven't been drinking enough water; b) haven't slept enough; or c) I've spent too much time staring at a book or screen.

I think it might have been a combination of all three of these, coupled with the fact that I had friends over on Friday on top of already not sleeping well. I felt the headache beginning while still happily playing Cluedo, but it wasn't until Saturday that it blew into epic proportions. Not quite a migraine, but definitely painful enough!

Here I am, finally, with the promised movie review which should have gone up a whole lot earlier!

And yet, better late than never, right?

For this week's blog post, we're going right back into the cold, so hopefully you've bundled up again.

Show yourself, Frozen II.

Talkie Tuesday: Frozen

"Let it go."

Hello everyone!

I'm throwing it back with today's blog post.

Way back.

Well, okay, not WAY, WAY back, but I'm certainly going a couple of years into the past with my movie choice for tonight. I have an explanation, however!

I dearly want to review Frozen II on this blog, but it turns out - because I started blogging AFTER this franchise started - that I don't really have Frozen itself on here yet.

Well, this won't do, said my brain.

So here I am tonight, taking us back to when Disney went and practically remade itself in the 2010s by launching arguably one of its best movies of all time, both in terms of monetary revenues and general storyline, which diverged from the usual thing Disney's known for.

Since then, there have been a bunch of others following a similar vein, but it more or less all began with Frozen, and its subsequent success.

Grab your long johns and a thermos, people. The cold is about to bother us, Frozen-style.
