Review: Aladdin (2019)

First, you should know that the 1992 animated Aladdin is my very favorite Disney movie. I saw it five times in theaters--a record I still haven't broken--collected a lot of novelty merchandise, some of which I still own, and watched both direct-to-video sequels AND the television series. I came prepared to scrutinize this remake unfairly whether I intended to or not, but I also came prepared to squee.

Guys. This movie is SO MUCH FUN.

Review: Beauty and the Beast

I finally saw it! This weekend! And that was kind of perfect because it was my mom’s birthday, and this is her very favorite Disney movie. One of the first questions I had when I found out this adaptation was happening was: Will it be a musical? The answer is a resounding YES, and I cannot express how gleefully happy this made me.

However, because the 1991 animated feature is one of my favorite movie musicals of all time, I have a slightly different set of criteria when it comes to reviewing it. Usually my priorities fall this way:


  1. Characters.

  2. Setting / atmosphere.

  3. Plot.


In a musical though? Everything falls somewhere after one question: Can they sing?
