Who would I recommend this to?
Everyone who likes their shoes creepy and kooky.

What is this about?
Wednesday Addams uncovers the dark secrets of her new school for outcasts.

When would be a good time to watch this?
ASAP.

Where does it take place?
Jericho, Vermont.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I love the Addams and Tim Burton.

How did I like this?
I really enjoyed it! The plot was fun, if predictable. I loved seeing Wednesday make friends while still being herself. Enid was totally fun! I wasn't too keen on the "romance" as neither boys were that interesting or seemed compatible.

Catherine Zeta Jones is not a good Morticia. I was worried about her casting but still held on to hope. But nope. Not good. Everyone else is great though. Although I do think Luis Guzman was holding back a bit.

Have you seen Wednesday? What did you think?

Disenchanted (2022)

Title: Disenchanted
Rating: PG
Run Time: 2 hour 1 minute
Release Date: November 18, 2022
Genre(s): Fantasy, Musical
Production Co.: Walt Disney Pictures
Director: Adam Shankman
Starring: Amy Adams, Maya Rudolph, Patrick Dempsey


Who would I recommend this to?
Those of us who remember the first one.

What is this about?
Giselle makes a wish for a fairytale life that has gone terribly wrong...or terribly right.

When would be a good time to watch this?
After the first one.

Where does it take place?
Monrolasia.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I love the first one and am a Disney slave.

How did I like this?
I adored it! Obviously, the first one will always be superior, but it's hard to beat. This is a worthy sequel though. It's another trope flipping fun time. Yes, it's predictable, but that's the point. Giselle wants her fairytale life but it's not going like she planned,  but making that wish puts her exactly in a story she knows all too well and doesn't want.

Genre(s): Fantasy, Romance, Musical
Production Co.: Walt Disney Pictures
Director: Kevin Lima

Who would I recommend this to?
Everyone.

What is this about?
An animated soon-to-be princess is sent to real world New York and finds love!

When would be a good time to watch this?
As soon as possible.

Where does it take place?
Adalasia and New York City.

Why did I decide to watch this?
The first time because it's Disney and looked adorable. Now, because the sequel is here!

How did I like this?
I never get sick of this movie. It is easily one of Disney's best live-action movies. It makes fun of all the princess tropes while also fully embracing them. It's cheesy and adorable and clever and makes me cry.

This movie is criminally underrated. I swear only me and my BFF remembered it existed before the sequel was announced.

Have you seen Enchanted? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?

Why did I decide to watch this?

It's adorable! I cried during two of the episodes. They're all full of heart and special moments and laughs. I do wish there were more though!
