Onward (2020)

Is it just me, or has this latest Pixar release surfaced with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever? When I say I had absolutely no idea what I was in for with Onward, I mean I hadn’t even seen a trailer, I’d barely seen a poster, and until I was physically at the cinema, I thought there…

The Lion King (2019)

Well, here we are again. Mere months after both Dumbo and Aladdin hit cinema screens across the world, Disney are showing no signs of slowing the cogs of their regurgitation machine. The third remake of a beloved childhood classic of any kind might feel a little over the top at this point, but I think…

Ralph Breaks The Internet (2018)

Here’s the thing. If Disney think they can get me excited for something other than Mary Poppins Returns for the rest of 2018, then they’ve got another thing coming. In fact, my thoughts have been so consumed with the sequel to my favourite film of ALL TIME that I barely remembered I had a date with…

Incredibles 2 (2018)

For some reason, the hype and love for the original Incredibles film was something that kind of passed me by. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed along in the cinema with the rest of you those fourteen years ago, and I can’t profess to being ‘too cool’ for kid’s movies as a 15 year old…

Mary And The Witch’s Flower (2017)

My relationship with Japanese anime is what one might call ‘basic’. I, along with every other child of the time, was fully swept along with the Pokemon phenomenon wave of the late 90s/early 00s, and in the following years have sampled and enjoyed the highlights of the iconic Studio Ghibli like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s…

Isle Of Dogs (2018)

Perhaps more than any other filmmaker right now, or over the last few decades, even if you aren’t fluent in cinema, you can tell when you are watching a Wes Anderson picture. The man’s signature style has become so synonymous with quirk and quality, not just for the curious aesthetic style and whimsical sensibility that…

Coco (2017)

If there were ever such a thing as a Pixar dip in form, then in my opinion, it has taken place over the last two years. Looking back, the last time I was really bowled over by a feature from the famed animation studio was 2015’s masterpiece Inside Out, with both The Good Dinosaur and Finding…

Moana (2016)

Hold on, what is this? A new Disney film that isn’t related to an already existing Disney property? I can’t believe it! With recently released and upcoming remakes and reboots of some of the studios biggest hits taking up the majority of Disney related news of late, before even knowing anything about Moana, I was…

Sausage Party (2016)

Earlier this year, the red band trailer for Sausage Party went viral quicker than any of the cutest cats, dumbest dogs, and most hilarious fall compilations out there. Seemingly innocent looking, we all soon became aware that this wasn’t going to be like all of the other summer animations streaming in and out movie theatres…

Finding Dory (2016)

I’m just going to begin by putting it out there. 2003’s Finding Nemo is probably my favourite Pixar movie of all time (with Wall-E a very, very close second). Funnily enough, for a film that has such close ties to my all time studio favourite, I came to Finding Dory with very little anticipation, perhaps because…
