Building upon what already exists
Everything I wanted!
As we have already seen with the likes of Disney's live actin remake of Cinderella etc. Beauty and the Beast recaptures the magic of the animated film we all know and love. However, it achieves greatness by building upon the already familiar story and filling in holes left by its predecessor. The film was fun, enchanting and emotional.

What a stroke of genius
This series of short animated films is one of the best collections I have seen in a long time, the stories range from comedy to serious drama and even if you aren't a massive fan of animation, there is still a story for you, with the realist animation I've seen in a long time. Give it a go you just might like it.

Princess Jasmine was amazing, a true Disney Princess with an incredible voice. Will Smith as the genie wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. As for Jafar, well he was completely awful, like some kind of pantomime villain. Overall though, I actually quite enjoyed this latest, almost carbon copy of the animated original, live action Disney remake. Not bad at all, for a Guy Ritchie movie.

Watership Down (1978)

1978 | Adventure, Animation, Drama

"A rare animated film that has the agility to balance melancholy, terror, beauty, and heart with grace. Has more to say about the human condition using hand-drawn rabbits than most live-action films do with flesh-and-blood homo sapiens. They used to show this around Easter on CBS—I love that. The dreamy impressionistic backdrops. The wonderfully gratifying finale. The song “Bright Eyes” gets me every time. "

"I’m a big fan of animation. I was just talking to my manager about how amazing How to Train Your Dragon is. The animation is out of this world, and the story… And I love that animated films now have evolved so much that they’re real heart-wrenching stories. It’s not just for kids, but adults enjoy them now as well. It’s just such a beautifully done film."

One of my favorite animated movies. Lots of adventure, comedy and good songs. I think this would be a good movie for a child or adult I guess who lacks confidence. It is about a blind young guy, a girl and a 2 headed dragon who go on an adventure to find the sword Excalibur. The 2 headed dragon is so funny! The 2 main characters have a great backstory too.
