The Lion King (2019) Live Action Review: Is Disney's Remake Worthy of Pride Rock?
2019 has certainly been the year for Disney to make 90’s kids excited! In Disney’s latest live action, the animals of 1994 The Lion King are brought to life. This classic was a favorite for both of us growing up, so needless to say we have been pretty excited for this one. This week we were invited to an advanced screening of the film, but unfortunately Andrew couldn’t attend due to a work conflict. Julie decided to still go check it out anyway (sorry Andrew!). How does this reinvented version compare to the iconic film of our childhood? Read on to see what she thought…

Movie Review: Does Disney's Live Action "Dumbo" Soar to Great New Heights?
First can we just say the Disney slate of live action movies this year is mind blowing! Dumbo officially kicks off 2019 with a reimagined story based on the 1941 Oscar-winning Disney classic. While we had both seen the original cartoon as kids, neither of us could remember the entire story. But Dumbo is such an iconic and classic character you can’t help but smile when you see the little guy, and who doesn’t love the Dumbo ride in the parks? With Tim Burton in charge, and state-of-the-art visual effects being used to portray Dumbo and many of his four-legged counterparts, we were intrigued to see if this new version would soar or crash. Last night we were able to attend an early screening of the show, read on for our thoughts…

"Mary Poppins Returns" Movie Review: Is It Truly Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
Both of us have fond memories of watching the classic movie Mary Poppins as children. She is a well loved character and it is always fun to see her in the parks. When it was announced a new Mary Poppins movie would be released in 2018 it became one of our tops films we couldn’t wait to see. There has been a lot of build up and also a lot of questions, the biggest being “how do you follow up to such an iconic movie?” We were invited to attend an early screening last night to figure out if Disney’s latest sequel is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

"Ralph Breaks the Internet" Movie Review: Does Disney's Sequel Deliver?
We can’t believe it has been six years since the original Wreck It Ralph movie debuted in theaters. (We can tell we must be getting older when time seems to be going faster…) We loved the original story of “Bad Guy” Ralph wanting to be a hero. It featured a healthy dose of retro video game references, funny moments, and likable characters. When we heard Ralph and friends were coming back to the big screen to venture out of the arcade we couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. Last week we were invited to an early screening and are super excited to give you our thoughts before the film releases next week. Read on for our full review (and don’t worry, there are no spoilers to “Wreck it” for you!)

A Holiday Review: Disney's "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" – Our Original Thoughts
Now that Halloween has passed we are stoked for the holiday season to officially begin! One of Julie’s favorite childhood memories during Christmas time was attending The Nutcracker ballet many times over the years. When we were invited to attend a screening of Disney’s new film based on the ballet: The Nutcracker and The Four Realms we couldn’t wait to get a jump start on the season. We were hoping this would be a new title to add to our list of must watch movies every December. The cast was stocked with a lot of big names and the visuals looked stunning. Read on to see what the verdict was on this latest fantasy film (don’t worry there are no spoilers!)
