Disney

I refuse to watch the Broadway musical Newsies because I have a strong loyalty to the 1992 Disney film version of the production starring Christian Bale. Why do I love it so much? The numbers are catchy,…

To write a year-in-review list immediately after the year ends is always a fascinating experiment. What ends up sticking in your brain five, ten, twenty years after the New Year’s Eve confetti has settled is…

This week saw a heap of controversy roll through Film Twitter, starting with the news that Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney for lost profits due to the release of Black Widow on Disney+ at the…

Crystal blue water, golden hour sunshine, delicious pasta, and plenty more lovely vibes. While watching Luca, you may come to forget it comes from the same company that made three Cars movies. It probably won’t…

Cars 2 is a cute little family-friendly movie that you can watch with your kids, right? WRONG. Cars 2 is the most violent, intense, and bizarre movie I have ever seen that is still entirely made for…

In the Heights, the first in a slew of musicals this year, arrived this past week in theaters and on HBO Max. Its arrival helped create the first genuinely competitive box office in nearly a…

Who would’ve thought a pack of dalmatians would be so vicious??? Cruella is out, and, along with A Quiet Place: Part II and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, it marks the unofficial…

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who asked for a 134-minute origin story of a character who originated in a 79-minute cartoon, but alas, Cruella is here. Since the film premiered, much of the conversation has…

With The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and A Quiet Place: Part II performing well along with Cruella causing a stir, movie theaters have felt a noticeable jolt in the last two weeks, which…

For almost all of 2020, and a good portion of 2021 so far, cinemas across the World were shuttered. While a few markets were able to avoid the long struggles of the pandemic and thrive…

Raya and the Last Dragon premiered on Disney+ on Friday, March 5th with perhaps the best lead-in it could have asked for in the midst of the pandemic: the season finale of WandaVision (it also…

With the finale of WandaVision less than a week away, Nick and I spend some time reflecting on episode 8 and what it means for the character of Wanda within the entire MCU. We also spend some…

After her introduction nearly halfway into the film, the nanny in One Hundred and One Dalmatians is likened to a dog by our narrator and protagonist Pongo. Usually a denigrating term — calling someone a dog…

Last week, Disney unveiled enough new content to keep you subscribed to Disney+ and glued to your seat for all of 2021 and 2022. Nick, Brennan, and I break down what we’re most excited for…

The Emperor’s New Groove turned 20 years old this week and, despite my inability to accurately spell “Emperor” on the first try, it remains one of the warmest, most charming films in my memory. Starring…

As the box office’s heartbeat continues to wane, Nick and I take a look at Disney’s latest release-date push. Everything from Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile to Black Widow has been pushed. With most studios skipping October,…

“People say that it can’t work, black and white. Here, we make it work every day. We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans.”…

Chadwick Boseman’s death has rocked the industry and left millions mourning. Nick and I take some time to reflect on who he was and what his career means to us and so many others. He…

This week on The MovieBabble Podcast, we ask the tough questions that other critics are too afraid to tackle. For example: What does the abolition of the Paramount Decrees mean? When does the Kissing Booth Franchise…

Like Prince of Persia (2010), I had completely forgotten that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) existed. (Apparently, 2010 was the year for forgettable live-action Disney films.) The only thing I remembered about the film was when David (Jay Baruchel) was…

With the abundance of streaming services, it has become apparent that cord-cutting, and the mass adoption of streaming is inevitable. However, with the diversified selection, it is becoming harder and harder to get all the…

It’s been pretty well established that Inside Out, Pixar’s fifteenth theatrical release, is a knockout masterpiece. The Atlantic praised the film as an example of Pixar “once again at the top of its game, telling…

Trying to wash the memory of Artemis Fowl from their minds, Brennan and Nick take some time to deep dive into Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods (spoilers). It’s also a crazy time in the movie world, with…

Five sittings. It took me five different sittings to finish Disney’s Artemis Fowl, a mere 94-minute movie including the entirety of the end credits. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for what was supposed to become…

HBO Max is here, and it is loaded to the brim with classic and contemporary content. Between Warner Bros’ century-old library, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and more, it is a real contender with Netflix…

Sports has been one of the many casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic. While no one would count the loss of sports among the biggest casualties, or the return of sports a top priority, its absence…

Does anyone actually remember Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) or was that just a weird fever dream I had? Has it really been ten years since it came out? Seriously, does anyone…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

With nothing to do on a Tuesday afternoon in the land of quarantine, I sat down to watch A Goofy Movie (1995) to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It’s always been a favorite of mine, if for no…

Onward, a movie I had no expectations for, but I went to see it anyway because it comes from Pixar. It turned out to be a great decision for two reasons: there’s a hilarious short…
