I Love Disney #2

I needed to do another post of my favourite Disney films and its been ages since I did one, and its about time I did one. So let's begin!

Princess And The Frog

This is a weird one as its not one people usually say is their favourite and went it came out, noone was going crazy over it, like they were for Frozen. But I love this film I love Tiana she is so independent and strong, and the fact that she's a waitress and I used to be a waitress makes me like her even more. The song 'Almost There' is just the best, the time period its set in, the whole 1920s New Orleans style is just beautiful. I even like Charlotte and I know she's got an annoying personality, but she's funny and totally harmless. 
                                                              

Fox And The Hound
Any animal film for me is a win, especially this one as the story is just the best and the fact that the story is taken from a Romeo & Juliet sense but its not romantic, its just two best friends who shouldn't be friends is just the best. It proves that Disney can do alot of things other than just romance, but its fantastic. The voice cast is the best, and music, animation just everything.  
                                                         
Hunchback Of Notre Dame
I was debating to myself whether to write a full post on this or not, but I need to talk about this film as its so beautiful. The music is stunning, 'Out There' 'God Help The Outcasts' its just so beautiful and fits so well with the film and characters. Frollo the film's Antagonist is actually understandable as he is worried because Quasimodo does look abit different, Frollo doesn't want anyone to be horrible to him and protect him. As this film shows sometimes its good to set out of your comfort zone as you never know who'll accept you.
                                                        
Frozen
I love this film so much, but I'm not gonna do a full post review on it as I like it, but I'm not obsessed. 'Let It Go' is one of the best songs Disney has ever done, not even just Disney just one of the best songs ever written as its so powerful and strong. I'd like to reinforce something which has annoyed me slightly since this film came out, its that people say that this is the first Disney film that shows you don't need a man, Mulan, Pocahontas, Merida need I go on? This film really is amazing, its not the best ever made but it is good and you'll enjoy it.
                                                               
Hercules
Don't you mean Hunkcules? Love this film so much, the music everything about this is just so good. Hades is the best he is so funny, and witty and I think its one of the reasons as to why I love it so much, the bad guy has a sense of humour. 'Go The Distance' and the whole Gospel Choir is so good they make the film so brilliant. Along with Danny Devito as Phil is perfect casting and just so witty. I don't know one person who doesn't like this film or the music and the characters.
                                                             
Anyway I will speak to you all later and have a great day wherever you are! The next review will be slightly different cus I like to mix it up abit.

Peppermint Friday Review #14: Moana

I know I've said that Doctor Strange was the last film I was gonna see for while in the cinema, but this film ahh couldn't resist, its Disney I got my mum to see it with me and she's not too keen on Disney (yes its crazy) and she loved it, and I need to talk about this film. 
The film is about a girl called Moana and she is the daughter of the Chief of the village on the island of Motunui, and she is about to become the next Chief of the island. Until everything on the island is going rotten and there are no fish, Moana decides to seek out of the island and into the ocean to find Maui who is a demigod and has the heart of the island. Her father is very protective and doesn't want Moana to go into the ocean when thats something she wants to do more than anything. 
Its set in the Polynesian island which is something I love because representation is important, I'm not of Polynesian decent, but I love that theres a character from Disney that girls of that decent can relate to, but in any case regardless of skin colour I guess any girls can relate to Moana or Belle, Ariel, Tiana. I love Moana's special power of controlling the ocean, or the ocean being alive like special friend, or something I don't know. The film was made by the same people who made The Princess and The Frog, and they did a marvelous job with the music and the story, and I can see the similarities of Princess and The Frog and Moana, as Maui and Prince Naveen were born from greatness and they meet a girl who is very headstrong, and independent. They need help as they don't necessarily have the power to be great until they get it back.
One of the biggest things I love about Disney is the music, the music for this film fits so well for the film, its all islandy and relaxed but at the same time strong and powerful. I love 'You're Welcome' which is sung by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, which by the way is such a good singer, like you listen to the song and like all Disney songs it will be in your head all day. The characters I love are Moana, and Maui obviously, and Grandma is so funny, and she loves the ocean like Moana, and she comes from the back of the head in a way. The sidekicks Moana has are so funny and unique, Heihei the rooster doesn't really say anything and he makes me laugh, Tamota the crab is just hysterical, Moana's pig is very cute and funny.
I mean I love this film, and I would see it again not in the cinema because I'm not made of money. But I mean I love the soundtrack, and I guess you can listen to the soundtrack without watching the film, but watch the film cus I loved it. The songs in itself are very much storytelling and enjoyment of the characters. Just go watch this film, its so funny and uplifting.

I Love Disney

Sorry for lack of posts, things happen Christmas is next week! Thats gonna happen wow its just gone so quickly massive shock. So we're gonna talk about one of my favorite things and thats Disney! and as my last post got abit serious and after I watch Gummo I actually went on a Disney Movie spree, as they also feel very christmasy just me? okay. But I'm gonna talk about my favorite Disney Films, and characters also the lessons they taught me.


Bambi

This film, ahh this film I love it so much. The songs are so pretty and amazing and the fact the animals makes me so happy. I mean I love animals and this film is part of the reason as to why I talk to animals. Obvious the dead mother part is horrific, but I love the animation and the fact that it was made in the 1940s is amazing, as without the beginning of Disney we wouldn't get Frozen and Pixar and all the marvelous things Disney has to offer. All the animals are incredible I love Bambi, Thumper they're all so silly and adorable. 

Honey I Shrunk The Kids

This film makes me feel really festive I say this as everytime I watch this its around the festive christmas period. The dialogue is witty and to the point, but the characters are wonderfully well written. It has the fantastic Rick Moranis as the father who is an inventor and makes a machine, his children and neighbours use it and suddenly they're shrunken. As we all know Rick Moranis is pretty much the face of the 80s films so its automatically an amazing film. I loved the ant they rode, and the giant biscuit, I wanted to each it.
   
A Goofy Movie

I think everyone in the Mickey Mouse Club who I love, and hold a special place in my heart was Goofy, Now i do love Mickey and Minnie and Pluto of course, but I mean Goofy for me just stole my heart and totally let him and love that he did. I loved how funny and well goofy he is, he didn't really take himself seriously at the same time in this film he showed a different side that we don't normally see, and I love this film so much and Goofy in particular.





Pocahontas

Pocahontas is actually one of my favorite Princesses, as she's kind, courageous and amazing with animals, and an outstanding voice. Little fact from Zara actually the song Colours of the Wind was my go to song for any audition, and it remains and still is, one of my favorite songs of all time. I adore Pocahontas as a character and I can relate to her so much, during the time of making this film at the same time The Lion King was made and more money and people wanted to be on Pocahontas, as people thought it would be better and more successful. But The Lion KIng ended up making more money, but I still adore and love Pocahontas.


The Aristocats

We all know how much I love cats, and this film has talking cats, and talking kittens and they sing really well! The film is so amazing and proves that cats are better than humans, it shows cats of all backgrounds and breeds. The music is so funny and catchy, just listen to 'Everybody wants to be a cat' and it will be stuck in your head all day. I can understand why people are abit 'eh' with this film, as it involves cats and theres a bit where a cat is singing in a chinese accent, on the piano and doing it with chopsticks. But if you don't take it seriously then its barrel of laughs.

Big Hero 6

This film is actually a bit serious, for kids as it deals with grief but its so amazing and heartwarming. It deals with science, and being creative at the same time its so wonderful. Its actually one of my favorite films of all time, I love Baymax, and Hero, Honey Lemon. They're all so funny, and witty I just love it so much. It actually made me cry while I was watching it, as I can relate to it so fully. 

This will not be the last time I will talk about Disney, and Pixar. As the year of 2017 will be the year of many posts and all my favorite things. Plus this Friday Review will be the last 2016 film I'll watch, what I mean by that is 2016 release. Not all together, but I'm very much looking forward to 2017 not only for this blog, but the whole year.
