2022 was the year of Pinocchio

Andy Ottone | Thursday, January 19, 2023

Who doesn’t love Pinocchio? Whether it’s Carlo Collidi’s original novel or Walt Disney’s 1940 feature film, many know the story of the wooden boy with the growing nose. In 2022, three film adaptations were released, and I took it upon myself to watch all three. I would be remiss to not mention an influence on

‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’: Disney’s most underrated masterpiece

Marcelle Couto | Wednesday, November 9, 2022

After acquiring a copy of Victor Hugo’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” during fall break, I was suddenly in the mood to rewatch the Disney animated musical. Doing so made me realize, not for the first time, how criminally underrated this adaptation is. Not only was it not as successful as other Disney films, but it

D23 Expo announces new projects

Nicole Bilyak | Thursday, September 15, 2022

This past weekend, the biennial D23 Expo occurred at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California from Sept. 9-11. The event was originally planned for 2021, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was pushed back to 2022. It was also pushed back to highlight Disney’s plans for the 100th anniversary of the company

‘Turning Red’: Get your paws on it now

Rachel Hartmann | Friday, March 18, 2022

When I first saw teasers for the new Pixar movie “Turning Red” directed by Domee Shi, I was super excited. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved Pixar movies. They hold a special place in my heart because they tell magical and memorable stories.  In “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Meilin “Mei” Lee (Rosalie

Will ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ be the savior of ‘Star Wars’?

Nicole Bilyak | Friday, February 11, 2022

A while back, I reviewed “Star Wars: Visions” and shared I was deeply underwhelmed with the cluttered stories that the show was attempting to tell. I was also not a fan of the anime style. When I heard there was going to be a show about Boba Fett on Disney Plus, I was skeptical, to

‘The Beatles: Get Back’: How the great fall

Anna Falk | Monday, February 7, 2022

After not performing live since 1966, The Beatles are tasked with the impossible — they must write and rehearse 14 new songs in the span of three weeks. Whatever they create will be recorded as a studio album, played for a live audience and filmed for a TV special. The members have not written and recorded

‘Encanto’ thrills audiences with vibrant artistry and an unexpected message

Marcelle Couto | Thursday, January 13, 2022

When Disney first advertised the production of “Encanto,” scarce information about the plot appeared to indicate the film would accord with the studio’s traditional and effective animation formula, ridden with color, unique characters and, above all, overflowing with magic. However, the new film by directors Byron Howard (“Tangled” and “Bolt”) and Jared Bush (“Zootopia” and

‘Home Sweet Home Alone’: Devoid of sugar, spice or anything nice

Justin George | Thursday, November 18, 2021

It is not often that I get mad at a film for merely existing, but this, dear reader, is an exception. Since I must review it, let’s dive in. “Home Sweet Home Alone” is a sloppy rehash of the original “Home Alone,” but without any of the things that made “Home Alone” special. The film

Does ‘Visions’ deserve the ‘Star Wars’ name?

Nicole Bilyak | Tuesday, October 5, 2021

“Star Wars” is the most well-known space opera series that science fiction and fantasy fans can think of. With its vast universe, lovable characters and unique concept, it is no surprise that Lucasfilm, the creator of the series, has created such an escape from the realities of life.  When Lucasfilm moved many of the “Star

JP Spoonmore | Friday, October 1, 2021

Marcia Lucas, known for editing the films “Taxi Driver” and “American Graffiti,” gives a peek behind the curtain to some of the greatest classics in cinema in a recently published book, “Howard Kazanjian: A Producer’s Life.” In the foreword, she mentions the casting of Harrison Ford for “Indiana Jones,” while expressing her passion for editing.
