Gamescom is a huge event with hundreds of gaming companies presenting a mind boggling number of games. As you stroll from huge room to huge room you are bombarded by game after game, after game. However, it’s not long before certain games begin to stand out from the crowd and after a couple of hours […]
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love Disney films or the way that they leave me feeling happy inside (apart from ‘Up’, let’s never again mention ‘Up’) and this film is no exception. The main story within ‘Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue’ pulls on the adult need for proof before […]
I am rather shocked by this one, but it appears that it’s going to be the end of an era, as Disney bosses have announced that they’re to stop making Disney princess animations! Apparently, it’s to do with not wanting to give a romanticised idea that the ‘man of your dreams’ can be out there. […]
After my blog post about just how traumatised ‘Up’ left me and let’s not even talk about Toy Story 3, I am thrilled to report that I did not cry whilst watching this Disney film! ‘The Princess and the Frog’ felt very much a return to traditional animation, with a similar feel to the classics […]
Years and years ago one of my still closest friends in the world bought me a wishes and dreams journal. In it, over many years, I’ve dared on every New Year’s Eve to make wishes for the following year. And, also, on two separate occasions I wrote of major dreams, ones I dared not speak […]
After my blog post about just how traumatised ‘Up’ left me (DEVASTATED, utterly devastated!), I did wonder if I could ever cope with another Disney film. But clearly the wonderful Kerry was wise in her choice of sending me ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to review. I mean Johnny Depp in a ginger wig, what more could […]
(Note to reader: I’ve a SIGNED copy of ‘Mousetrapped’ to give away and all details can be found at the end of this post) “Three big dreams, two Mouse Ears and one J-1 visa. What could possibly go wrong in the happiest place on earth? When Catherine Ryan Howard decides to swap the grey clouds […]
After my blog post about ‘Up’ last October (aptly entitled: About Watching a Film and Sobbing like a Loon), I did wonder if the (lovely) Katie who sent me a copy of the ‘Up’ Blu-ray Combi pack was playing a cruel cruel joke. I mean that film, that ‘Up’ is DEVASTATING! But of course the […]
I was super chuffed to be sent Blu-ray Combi pack review discs for ‘Toy Story’ and ‘Toy Story 2’ (squeal!). I first watched ‘Toy Story’ in the Odeon in Liverpool. I was single, a student and loved Disney. I was going through my ‘I don’t need a man stage’. I left the cinema and bought […]
Continuing on from my Blu-ray love-fest and collection building, Think Parents very kindly sent us 3 new Disney Blu-ray Combi Packs to look at. (Seriously, we are utterly lucky!) First up ‘G-Force’ Combi Pack (this means that there’s a Blu-ray disc and a DVD in the pack, so it’s ideal for building a Blu-ray collection […]
