My Thoughts on Disney’s Peter Pan (1953)
All it takes is faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust! This month’s movie focus is the classic Disney film, Peter Pan, mostly because it’s my mum’s birthday month (hi Mum!) and the Peter Pan ride at Disney is her favourite! Not only is Tinkerbell constantly featured throughout Disney advertising and merchandise, theContinue reading “My Thoughts on Disney’s Peter Pan (1953)”
Some of My Questions for Disney’s Beauty & The Beast (1991)
“With a dreamy, far-off look, and her nose stuck in a book”, it’s no surprise that Belle is my all-time favourite princess, so I’m very excited that this month is Beauty and the Beast-themed! Beauty and the Beast (1991) is one of Disney’s classic Renaissance era (for anyone interested in the 9 eras of Disney,Continue reading “Some of My Questions for Disney’s Beauty & The Beast (1991)”

My Thoughts on the Toy Story Franchise

The first film was not only their introduction to the world, it was the first ever film to be completely computer animated. If you’re interested in the history of Pixar, Disney+ has an absolutely fascinating documentary called TheContinue reading “My Thoughts on the Toy Story Franchise”
Character Close Up: Anastasia Tremaine
Known for being a wicked stepsister, is there more to Anastasia Tremaine? Cinderella’s step-family are some of the original Disney villains, but a character that I find interesting is Anastasia. In the original film, she is essentially interchangeable with her sister Drizella. Both are whiny, childish and allround irritating characters. They don’t care how theirContinue reading “Character Close Up: Anastasia Tremaine”
My thoughts on Disney’s Cinderella (1950)
Released in 1950, Cinderella is one of Disney’s most well-known and loved films. It’s a story that so many children have grown up hearing since the original Cendrillon by Charles Perrault in 1697. We first meet Cinderella as an adult as she is woken by her bird and mice friends, and she sings them theContinue reading “My thoughts on Disney’s Cinderella (1950)”
