Literally one of my favourite Disney Pixar films
I find Monsters Inc to be on par with Toy Story. Such a heartfelt story of an almost father - daughter relationship between Sully and Boo, unlike most Disney films where there is a love interest. The voices from Billy Crystal and John Goodman are genius and the ending still makes me shed a happy tear. And I actually watched it from the beginning again straight after seeing it for the first time.

Truly unique story
Truly a unique and heartfelt story
I can say that Monsters Inc is a great Disney pixar movie and I love the whole story it is so unique but still something that doesn't feel completely wild and non-Disney Pixar.
The reason for the lowering rating is while I acknowledge it is a great movie there was always something about it that kept me from watching it multiple times.

Classic Halloween Disney Movie
This movie is so good. If you like movies that give you 90's nostalgia with all little bit of tame creepiness, This movie is for you. The three witches are so hilarious, and the child acting isn't half-bad. Yes, it is sometimes cringy, but if you like those old cringy Disney Channel kind of movies, I definitely recommend you give this a watch.

Manga meets Disney may seem a strange combination to some but is one that works once you get your head around how they read. As an almost complete retelling of the Disney film, this is almost a junior novelization of the film version except in graphic novel/manga version. Lacking in colour and detail in it's illustrations the simplicity would serve this as a good introductory novel for youngsters. Tiana and New Orleans always make for a relaxing bedtime read.

Story of how Walt Disney got Mary poppins made. It not on that story but goes into why travers didn't want the book made into a movie and why she was so protective over the Mary poppins character. This story not only goes into the making of the classic movie but into travers childhood. Not what I expected but very well made . Also Tom hanks was amazing as Walt Disney at times I literally thought it was Walt on screen

Remember Who You Are exudes the love of Disney with every paragraph. Every chapter starts with a quote from an iconic film and quotes are hidden like easter eggs throughout the story.
Poppy's story could easily have been lifted straight out of a Hollywood rom com: it has sex, sass and suspense as well as an amazing best friend and men we love to hate.
What could be better? This story with the addition of a Disney castle of course!

One of Disney's best
The first time I saw this, I wasn't a huge fan. I just didn't understand the hype. However since then I've really come to appreciate how good this film actually is, to the point where it's probably one of my guilty favourites.
Let It Go might still be slightly overrated, but all of the songs are fun and catchy and you can't help but sing along. There's good humour and the plot itself although typical Disney, is still heartwarming and entertaining. What I love the most is the fact that it makes fun of the typical Disney film - love at first sight, true loves kiss etc - it's refreshing for it not to completely follow the usual Disney formula. And who can't not love Olaf?

Great twists
Great story
Great special effects
Great take on the iconic Disney villain
This was a fun movie. A great take on the sleeping beauty with good twists.
They manage to give this iconic Disney villain many different layers and was played brilliantly by Angelina Jolie. The story was great and I enjoyed seeing the backstory of Maleficent. It gives so much weight to the sleeping beauty story we all know and you have more understanding and sympathy for the villain.
All parts of the cast were great and the CGi/special effects were great. It had to be since this movie is practically all special effects. The music was great and this is by far 1 of my favourite live action adaptations of a Disney movie so far.
