Film Review: Disney-Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Starring Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt
Since 1995, Pixar Animations studios has been the frontrunner when it comes to quality animated films. Whether it be toys, fish, or even the emotions of a young girl as she’s growing up – Pixar, without a doubt, knows how to give life to their characters and tell a wonderful story as they embark on […]
Review: ‘Newsies’ Gives Perfect Ending to The Muny’s 99th Season
I grew up watching Disney’s 1992 film, Newsies, starring a young Christian Bale. The movie was entertaining, but nothing revolutionary from a filmmaking perspective. It grossed just under $3 million dollars on a $15 million dollar budget. Yet, I always found the story, and particularly the songs, quite intriguing. And that came as no surprise, […]
Review: Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ Turns The Muny Into Underwater Kingdom
The Little Mermaid will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first movie I saw in theaters, back in 1989, and my love of Disney has only grown since then. Getting a chance to see one of the classics brought to life is always exciting, especially when it’s a show full […]
Review: Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2017) Starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Josh Gad, Luke Evans
Every year since 2014’s Maleficent, Disney has released a live action re-imagining of one of their famous animated features.

Review: Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen
I have a confession to make. I didn’t really watch Disney films as a child. Okay, that isn’t completely accurate. Dumbo was one of my favorite movies growing up, and when I was 9, my sister dragged me to the theaters to watch The Lion King for her birthday. Beyond that, though, I never watched […]

Film Review: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Starring John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac
Star Wars is back. Not back like it was in 1999. But really, back. I remember the hype and anticipation surrounding a new Star Wars film being released for the first time since 1983. I was much younger than, and had a lot less film criticism under my belt. But I still knew something was […]
99: ‘Inside Out’ Starring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling
Sharon Suchoval joins us this week for Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out. Sharon runs the website AdviceForMyDaughter.com which seemed appropriate since the movie is about the inner workings of the thought process of an 11-year old. But don’t let the presence of a “mommy blogger” scare you. Sharon’s worked with some of the biggest names in the […]
Movie Review: ‘Cinderella’ Starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett, Richard Madden
In 1950 Walt Disney Productions was $4 million dollars in debt, and took a huge gamble on producing the $3 million dollar animated feature Cinderella. It was a film that would either make or break the studio. Yet here we are, and we all know the outcome of the film – 65 years later as […]
