Rio 2

Now that the general buzz for Frozen and Mr. Peabody and Sherman are settling down, the next new animated movie coming out is Rio 2 from BlueSky Entertainment! Will you go see it? Do you think it will be a nice original sequel, or just an attempt to take the original movie and make it bigger and more colorful gone wrong?

Mr. Peabody & Sherman

   Now that the Oscars are over, it's time to begin focusing on the animated movies of the 2014 year. We begin this year with the release of Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Here is the official description:

     "Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, use their time machine - The WABAC - to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes The WABAC out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidentally rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time traveling trio will make their mark on history."

   Mr. Peabody & Sherman is now in theaters. Will you go see it?

Legend of Korra "The Sting" Recap

Last night's episode of the Legend of Korra, "The Sting" made for some very important twists in the Season 2 plot. Here's a recap for anyone who missed it:

The episode begins with one of Varrick's shipping boats being attacked with many timed detonating bombs. The attackers take control of the ship. Meanwhile, Desna and Eska are waiting for their father outside the Spirit World portal, where they inform him that Korra is dead.

Bolin is sitting in a balcony seat along with Varrick and Ginger during a screening of "The Adventures of Nuktuk: Hero of the South", a propaganda "mover" meant to convince the people of the evils of the Northern Water Tribe. The screening is a huge success. Bolin also tells Ginger about their on-screen chemistry, which Ginger denies, much to Bolin's dismay. Zhu Li walks up to Varrick and informs him about the attack on his cargo ships.

Asami walks in on Mako reminiscing over his great times with Korra. She is upset at the loss of her equipment during the ship raid. Meanwhile, Beifong interrogates the ship's captain, Mako learns that the bombs detonated were similar to the ones that exploded at the Cultural Center. When Mako walks in on the interrogation to question, Beifong tells him to leave after the captain doesn't recognize the remote.

Asami, fearing Future Industries will go bankrupt, is quite upset. Mako and her come up with a plan to use a ship with empty cargo crates as bait, and capture the attackers. Mako, refusing to ask Korra's help on the mission, saying she's "out of town" decides to ask the Triple Threat Triads for help in exchange for Korra to return Lightning Bolt Zolt's bending, and a supply of vehicles. They agree. Once on the ship, Mako confesses that he broke up with Korra, much to Asami's surprise. Later, they discover that the Triple Threats double crossed them and were hired to distract them.

They make an escape on a motorboat, with the Triple Threats hot on their trail. Eventually, they escape back to Republic City and head to the Future Industries warehouse to discover that all the Mecha Tanks have been stolen. Asami states that she is ruined and gives up. Mako promises to continue the investigation and find out who's responsible. Asami, touched, kisses Mako. She later apologizes for the random act, and Mako leaves to continue his investigation. He asks Two-Toed Ping who hired them to double cross him and Asami. Ping says he doesn't know, and he's never seen the man face to face.

Mako asks Bolin, who now only responds to Nuktuk, about the whereabouts of Varrick. Seeing that Bolin doesn't know, and that it's time to start filming his scene, Mako watches. He sees on the set how the bombs explode in a special order, detonating the same way as the ones on the ship and at the Cultural Center. Curious, he asks the technician working the bombs about them. It turns out Varrick invented them, so the bombings were all his doing.

Mako tries to report his findings to Asami, only to discover that Varrick had just bought a stock in Future Industries.

Meanwhile, Korra, still alive, but unconscious, wakes up on a sunny beach where she is suddenly surrounded by fire sages. Scared and confused, she airbends at them to get away, but they assure her they're on her side, addressing her as Avatar Korra. Confused, Korra asks who that is, confirming she has lost her memory. She then faints once again onto the sand.


What did you think about the episode, The Sting, and what are you hoping to see in next week's one-hour special, Beginnings?

Barbie in the Pink Shoes Review

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay. 

I just wanted to share a little critique with you guys of a film I watched recently: Barbie in the Pink Shoes.

The film stars Barbie as Kristyn Farraday, a ballet dancer who, along with her friend Haley, with the help of some pink ballet slippers, travel through different dances and actually become part of the story.

The film was spectacular. Although it would have been nice to see some cameos of some previous Barbie characters, for example Rothbart from Swan Lake, the film was wonderfully portrayed and the dancing was exquisite, and a beautiful example of ballet in today's time.

The Highly anticipated sequel to the DreamWorks hit, How to Train Your Dragon, is expected to release June 20th, 2014, and here's some pictures from our first look!

The story takes place five years after the original story, which is why we can see here that Hiccup and Astrid are obviously much more matured.

“The thrilling second chapter of the epic “How to Train Your Dragon” trilogy brings back the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years later. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.”

Are you excited for How to Train Your Dragon 2?

Top 5 Disney Princesses

When we imagine a Disney Princess, many of us picture a beautiful girl in a flowing dress with her prince charming. However, what defines a Disney Princess. Most people have a preconceived stereotype that Disney Princesses are dependent young girls who can't handle themselves. This is why I made a list of my personal favorite Top 5 Disney Princesses.


5. Merida

Like many in the list, Merida wasn't the first princess not to agree with the marriage plans set by her parents, but she went so far as to fight for her own hand in marriage. Merida also isn't on the best of terms with her own mother throughout much of the film, but she remains strong and learns her lessons.



4. Jasmine


Marriage was the LAST thing on Jasmine's mind throughout much of the movie, and even if it was, she refused to be inferior to any man. Princess Jasmine may not be the main character in her film, but she still manages to achieve what she wants due to her persistence. She is very head-strong and independent.



                                           3. Pocahontas

We all know that marriage wasn't the first thing on Pocahontas' mind at the beginning of the movie. Throughout the whole film, Pocahontas remained head-strong and independent, even after she met John Smith. Although she was borderline desperately in love, we won't judge because she still managed to save John's life as well as change the mentality of two armies of people.



2. Mulan

We all know Mulan is the famed heroine of China, and one thing that's unique about her is she pretty much did it all on her own. From the beginning of the story, we learned that Mulan is an independent girl who didn't need a man to get by. Despite everyone going against her, Mulan still was able to save the day.


1. Tiana

TIana, in my opinion, is the most head-strong and independent of all of the Disney Princesses. She is the only princess with a real job, and actually doesn't believe in the idea of a fairy tale dream come true. Even after she meets Naveen, she still proves the leader of the group, not only because Naveen is a lazy prince who can't really do anything, but she shows in her knowledge and skill that through hard work, dreams come true.

Monsters University

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait for a new post, but I have great news! I was able to see Monsters University today, and I am pleased to say it was SPECTACULAR!

Although many scenes in the movie wouldn't make sense unless you've seen the original Monsters Inc. the film is still a great stand-alone piece with a whole new story to tell, including hilarious and unique new characters.

The story takes place at Monsters University where an eager Mike is determined to become a top-notch scarer, but is constantly belittled, constantly told he is not scary enough to become a professional scarer. After Mike, as well as Sully, is kicked out of the scaring program, the two embark on a mission to win the Scare Games with their new fraternity, Oozma Kappa.

I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, but I highly recommend it to viewers of all ages!

Wendy and Alice!

Hey guys! Just another post for fun that I decided to do. We probably have seen the movies Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, but did you know that Wendy and Alice are voiced by the same person, Kathryn Beaumont, A very good voice actress indeed.

Just another thing I thought I'd share, Wendy and Alice look very alike.

Disney Fairies!

Lot's of us have seen the clips for the upcoming Tinkerbell movie Quest for the Queen, where it seems that all of our fairies have had their talents mysteriously switched!

There are so many Disney Fairies as of now, from all four of the movies: Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure, Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue, and Secret of the Wings. Which is your favorite Tinkerbell movie?

Who is your favorite Disney Fairy?
