We've been looking forward to Cruella since it was announced... and since it's been pushed off and pushed off, we are so thankful to say that it's FINALLY HERE! We are not hating the direct-to-Disney+ trend for the new releases of Disney Movies. It will cost you $34.99 CDN (or $29.99 USD) for "Premier Access,"... Continue Reading →
The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Movies 61-70
Watching Every Disney Movie Ever Made is no small feat. At this point, we have realized that if we finish by the time our oldest daughter graduates in 2025, we are doing well. If you're sticking with just the animated movies it takes much less time, but add in all of the live action Disney... Continue Reading →
The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Movies 41-50
We are really enjoying watching Every Disney Movie Ever Made! In a lot of ways, this challenge has exceeded my expectations. There is no other way that I would've been able to a) watch this many Disney movies in a year and b) convince my husband and three daughters to watch these movies over some... Continue Reading →
The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Movies 31-40
If you had told me a year ago that we were going to basically cancel 2020, I wouldn't have believed you. Yet, here we are. More than 7 months into this COVID thing, and Disneyland isn't even open yet! We have been taking this as an opportunity to watch Every Disney Movie Ever Made. It's... Continue Reading →
The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Movies 21-30
My family had this crazy idea to watch every Disney Movie ever made. Although COVID has made this year really hard, one blessing has been the amount of family time that we've had together! We've loved (mostly) curling up together 4-5 nights a week and watching movies. Doing a family activity, snack or meal with them... Continue Reading →
Live Action Mulan: DIY Viewing Party and Review
By now you know that instead of a giant theatrical release, Disney's live-action remake of Mulan was released on Friday, September 4th, 2020 through the Disney+ app. I'm sure you've read stances on both ends of the spectrum; voicing both pleasure and disappointment. Here's where we stand... COVID changed absolutely everything. You might want to... Continue Reading →
The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Every Disney Movie Ever Made
The last time Heidi visited Walt Disney World, she mentioned that her family tried to watch all of the animated Disney movies together before they left. With our big Walt Disney World trip coming up I decided that we had to do it too. Now that Disney+ is available, it’s much more doable to start… Continue Reading →
Onward: Movie Review
2020 is the year Pixar decided they needed to stop with the sequels (the last 4/5 Pixar movies have been sequels: Toy Story 4, Incredibles 2, Cars 3, Finding Dory) and release some original material. So this year they are bringing us "Onward", and then "Soul". Sequels come with risks in that they need to... Continue Reading →
Frozen II: A Spoiler Free Movie Review
Frozen holds a special place in our hearts. My girls were 1, 4 and 7 when the first movie was released. We saw it in the theatre at Christmas time as one of our advent activities. (Advent is basically a special countdown to Christmas.) We do 24 activities leading up to Christmas... some "big" and... Continue Reading →
The Lion King Movie Review
The Lion King remake was not one that I thought we would be seeing in the theatre, but my son was begging to see it and I'm so glad we did! It was playing at our local drive-in theatre, so we got to do two bucket list things at once. Disney is in a "remake everything"... Continue Reading →
