Rather than being “late to the game” I have been intentionally avoiding Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. The studio hasn’t wowed me, or it would seem anyone, as of late and with the clips and snippets I saw prior to the film’s release, it felt like another cash-grab from a creative team that is scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel. However, with a night to spare and nothing else catching my eye, I sat down and decided to watch it … so, I guess, here we go…

As a kid, I lost count of the number of times I watched the original 1953 animated film on the old VHS we had in the house. Then I remember getting the DVD of the live-action Peter Pan released in 2003 – I remember falling in love with the story all over again…

It has been a while since I’ve sat down and watched a full-length movie, and it’s been even longer since I was brave enough to start one of the numerous series that are stockpiled on my “Watch Later” lists. But with Christmas just around the corner, it’s once again time to stop, relax, and observe a newfound tradition…

However, after finally biting the bullet and watching it, I seem to find myself with the prior instead of the latter…

There is something that I think people need to know before sitting down to watch the Netflix Original, Sahara. Despite the angles of its advertising, Sahara is not a kid’s film, nor should it be treated as kid’s film…

Occasionally there are films which pander to my childish side, and occasionally I let my partner choose what film we watch on film night. It was this combination which led to us sitting down to watch the new Spongebob Movie released on Netflix in Summer 2020…

Whilst I was surprised by Disney’s latest animated venture, Encanto, the same couldn’t be said for Raya and the Last Dragon…

After subjecting myself to the mess that was Raya and the Last Dragon, I certainly was not expecting much from Disney’s latest animated picture. I’ll be honest, originally, I had no plans to watch it at all…

Undoubtedly I was late to the game when it came to watching Disney’s Jungle Cruise released in the summer last year, but it was always one I was intending to find the time to watch. It just a shame I didn’t have the time until very recently…
