Amazing Sfx and animatronics bringing the dinosaurs to life
Great score by John Williams
Richard Attenborough
Another Spielberg classic
One of the first films to have the technology to make dinosaurs look real. It's a great concept, who wouldn't want to visit a Dinosaur theme park. Unlike Disney World though when things go wrong the guests don't get eaten! Probably one of my most watched films.

Personally, I loved this book. A full-on fairy-tale itself, it incorporates so many details that I wouldn't have even thought of. Very few plot holes were left open, and I loved how the author incorporated details from the original versions of the books, and not only the Disney versions.
I loved the way this book went, full of surprises and so many amazing things. Definetely worth your time.

This book is based upon a script from the Clone Wars TV show, which ended a little abruptly when Disney took over Lucasfilm. Since Clone Wars is part of the new canon, this book is new canon.
I really liked getting to know more about Ventress. The story was engaging, and I read it in a few days. Though, I do wish this was a few episodes of Clone Wars.

Based upon the ride at Disneyworld/Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun film. The action is good, and I love the combination of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The story was well put together. Disney definitely tried to recreate the magic with the further POTC films, and other films based upon rides.
This film definitely made pirates popular to the extreme, which was alright with me.

This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

I had high hopes for the book. The summary and cover art tempted me to buy it, so I did. And boy, I could not put this on my 'to sell' pile quick enough. The first part of the novel is nearly straight from Aladdin: now, there's nothing wrong with that, this book was published by Disney. But the whole Jasmine started a revolution? Eye roll to the max.

Contains spoilers, click to show
This is a really immersive book- If you have ever been to Disney land then you can practically see, smell, hear and feel what this place looks like!
The plot is basically built around a few of the fantasists (the princesses) beginning to think for themselves and wanting freedom.
Plus the Big Brother style security around the kingdom makes you feel nervous for the main characters at all times.

I received a copy of this Where I End and You Begin from Disney Book Group through Netgalley.
The description if this book had me at Twelfth Night and body swaps but it is so much deeper than that.
It's not just a guy trying to get the girl, it's also about building meaningful friendships and being honest with yourself.
I loved this book and would definitely recommend it.
