“A young girl named Asha wishes on a star and gets a more direct answer than she bargained for when a trouble-making star comes down from the sky to join her.”
by Kevin Muller
It may seem that Disney is becoming a juggernaut of the film industry by buying every single part of Hollywood, but they have always been the forerunner in family entertainment. In the 90’s, they were the King of the animation field with classics such as The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Beauty and the Beast. The latter was the first animated film to be nominated for “Best Picture” when the nomination pool only allowed five films. There was also The Lion King, which will soon have a photo-realistic remake that will have its own review, instead of a shared one. Personally, Aladdin was always a favorite, mainly due to Robin Williams’s legendary turn as the lovable Genie. On top of that, the film also had catchy songs and overall fast and frantic attitude. Unfortunately, shortly after that film delighted audiences, the downfall of hand drawn animation was about to begin with Disney teaming up with a new company called Pixar. We all know outcome of that merger, but it was 1995’s Toy Story that changed the game forever. Now, both these 90’s properties are back to see what they can do with better technology and an even wider audience.
Margot Robbie and Mike Myers go Film Noir in ‘Terminal’
by Nile Fortner
Terminal stars Margot Robbie who is fresh off of the Academy Award-winning film I, Tonya, and is a stylish film focusing on the intertwining of characters and stories. The movie follows the intertwining of assassins, a fatally-ill teacher, a janitor, and a waitress whom all have an agenda of a murderous plan. Robbie kills people in a very stylish way and wears incredibly nice clothes, kills people, and looks damn fine doing it.
Nile shares his favorite characters from Life-Action films from the past few decades. The list includes characters from Planet of the Apes, Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, and Beauty and The Beast!

Disney’s insistence to remake all their classics has been interesting to say the least, their initial design to make darken everything did not go down well but then they changed things up with Cinderella and The Jungle Book and kept them closer to the charm of the original movies which went down a lot better. With their remake of Beauty & The Beast, Disney have moved into dangerous territory, with the animated version one of their studio highlights and beloved by millions they risked upsetting a lot of people if they didn’t get it right. Well I can safely say that while it has nothing on the original, Disney have managed a solid update to their classic story that can stand as its own counterpart to the original without taking away from it.
