The Princess & The Frog Review

It’s been less than a week since I returned from DisneyWorld. It was a great vacation, and easily the best of the three times in my life I have visited the theme park. Every trip has its ups and downs, but this was overall a fantastic voyage away from home for a week, and I’d definitely recommend visiting The Happiest Place On Earth if you … Continue reading The Princess & The Frog Review

The Incredibles 1 And 2 Review!

No matter how many movies I watch for the very first time ever in my life–including movies that it feels like everyone on Earth has watched but me–there are always so many more to get through! Add in to that that I am THE Comic Book Movie Guy! I have been reading comics my entire life, and I’ve long been fascinated with Hollywood’s ability to … Continue reading The Incredibles 1 And 2 Review!

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Frozen 2

(Spoiler: The salamander isn’t in it for very long! Buy a toy of it anyways!) FROZEN II Written by: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee & Mark E. Smith Short Review: OMG it’s AMAAAAAZZINNGGGGGGGGGGGGG everyone go see itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!! Longer Review: Disney Sequels stopped being a thing during John Lasseter’s run as Chief Creative Officer, but with the runaway success they were having with their New Renaissance, it was … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Frozen 2

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Enchanted

ENCHANTED (2007):Written by: Bill Kelly & Ron Howard (yes, that one)-This one’s a bit funny, in that it’s a cutesy parody of Princess Movies… that basically also plays them straight, to the point where it actually revolutionized and restarted the entire Disney Princess genre! Some of the gags are pretty good, and there’s some WONDERFUL over-acting from Jason Marsden & Susan Sarandon (who is looking way … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Enchanted

Jab’s Reviews: Disney’s Era of Garbage

And now it’s a trifecta of movies I’ve never seen and tooooooooootally don’t wanna! This is a time in which Disney’s animation was suffering horribly, and Pixar was dominating them and embarrassing the Mouse. HOME ON THE RANGE (2004):Written by: Will Finn, John Sanford, Michael LaBash, Sam Levine, Mark Kennedy & Robert Lence -One of the most forgotten Disney Canon films of all time, this one … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Disney’s Era of Garbage

Jab’s Reviews: Brother Bear

BROTHER BEAR (2003):Written by: Tab Murphy, Lorne Cameron, David Hoselton, Steve Bencich & Ron J. Friedman -I figured “what the hell?” and rented this one- it’s one of the latter-day Disney films, and didn’t do to well or get very well-received, but it’s… okay. Ish. It basically has some cool set pieces and one VERY awesome transformation sequence that reminds you how mind-blowing this studio is, but … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Brother Bear

Jab’s Reviews: Treasure Planet

TREASURE PLANET (2002):Written by: Ron Clements, John Musker, Rob Edwards, Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio The backstory to the making of this movie is more interesting to me than the actual film itself, which is totally forgettable. Clements & Musker, two A-level directors responsible for The Little Mermaid, basically begged the studio for 12 years to make this, being rejected every time. Again and again, they were … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Treasure Planet

Jab’s Reviews: Atlantis- The Lost Empire

ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001):Written by: Tab Murphy, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Joss Whedon, Bryce Zabel & Jackie Zabel -This is an interesting one. It comes on the tail end of the Renaissance (ie. well after it ended, but only by a couple years), so the hype was less extreme, the expectations were lowered, and the money was gonna be less. Even so, they did some … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Atlantis- The Lost Empire

Jab’s Reviews: The Emperor’s New Groove

THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (2000):Written by: David Reynolds, Chris Reynolds & Mark Dindal This one had a fabulously-awful production process, with a Prince and the Pauper-themed story being written by one guy, and a comedy film being written by another. When the first, also the director of The Lion King, quit over being forced to shorten his timeline, things looked to be a disaster. Instead, they completely re-did … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Emperor’s New Groove

Jab’s Reviews: Fantasia 2000 & Dinosaur

It’s time for more Disney reviews! Unfortunately, these are all shows I haven’t seen so this is just “Jab Reads Wikipedia”, lol. You might saw “a proper reviewer would just watch these, since they have Disney+ and could just click on them” but I DON’T WANNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. FANTASIA 2000 (2000):Written by: N/A -A largely forgotten part of the canon, it was released the same year as Dinosaur, and … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Fantasia 2000 & Dinosaur

MCU Phase 4: Ups And Downs

Well, as of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, we are officially into Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the highly divisive Phase Four is finally and fully in our rear-view mirror. With the unprecedented success of, and overall affection for, the MCU’s efforts through its first three phases, a backslide in Phase Four was inevitable. Though exactly how far the slide regressed the … Continue reading MCU Phase 4: Ups And Downs
