I don’t think I’m the only one who has been a little disappointed by Pixar’s last couple of offerings, Onward and Soul. For me, they didn’t have the same level of heart or spark that I have come to expect from my favourite animation studio. I remember when Pixar releases were once every 12-18 months,…

Film Review: Soul (2020)
From the realisation that sometimes Joy and Sadness go hand in hand, to Boo’s softly spoken “Kitty?” and to the total gut punch that was Andy’s final goodbye, Pixar have been delivering emotional rollercoasters for nigh on 25 years. Personally, my opinion on the success of a Pixar film is largely determined by its ability…
Film Review: Onward (2020)
It’s pretty safe to say that I have a bit of a soft spot for anything Pixar but there was something about Onward that didn’t quite sit right with me. However, if Pixar can deliver the sequel I didn’t want but can’t live without (Toy Story 4) then I have no doubt that they have…

About Me… Best Day Ever!
As you may know, I took a mini hiatus at the beginning of this month, partly because we had a couple of trips planned but mainly because Mark and I, after eight years of dating, finally tied the knot. That’s right, I’m now a Mrs!! I wasn’t going to write a post about our day,…
Top Ten… Pixar Movies
The recent influx of live-action remakes of animated films has helped to increase my appreciation for the art form, I just keep my fingers crossed that they leave Pixar’s movies well and truly alone. As a way to show my appreciation of the skill and talent that goes into making an animated movie, I wanted…
Review: Toy Story 4 (2019)
I’m sure I am not alone in thinking that Toy Story 3 was the perfect end to a beautiful and incredibly moving trilogy, so when Pixar Studios announced a fourth installment, I admit, I was both angry and disappointed, thinking Pixar had turned to the cash-grabbing dark side. That being said, there was no question…
Top Ten… Pixar Shorts
When it comes to animation, I know that most people will think of Disney first, but for me, Pixar is always what springs to mind. **I know that it is now technically Disney Pixar but in my mind they will always be separate studios. You can fight me on it :)** One of my favourite…
About Me… The Films Of My Life
We watch movies for many different reasons. It is a chance to escape into another world for a little while. It is time to spend with loved ones. It may be when you are sick or getting over a heartbreak. Whatever our reasons for watching them, films have the power to impact our lives so subtly that we don’t even realise it until we…
