Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated What Should Be Wild in Books

Oct 1, 2018

*This is really closer to 4.5 stars for me, seriously Goodreads we need the half stars!*
I loved the atmospheric prose here, it truly felt like reading an old school fairy tale. Not the happily ever after Disney variety, more along the lines of the dark Grimm tales. Totally unique story, with solid world building and great characters. This is one I see myself reading again and again and finding something new each time.

**Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the DRC! All opinions are my own.**

Not Doug, that’s for sure. He’s a good boy. But suspension of disbelief had to be higher than a kite (0 more)

O.M.G. The beginning of this film will make you cry. The whole film runs a little long, there are too many dog gags and my patience with the small mailman was paper thin. Definitely worth watching for the beginning and the end though. The animation was spectacular. The video game for this is impossible, at least for me. Not my favorite Disney film but, heh heh, it’s up there.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Inferno Squad (Star Wars Battlefront #2) in Books

Jun 19, 2019

Set just after the events of Rogue One, this novel is about how the Empire struck back. It features the elite Inferno Squad, put together to infiltrate one of the rebel cells. The novel is also inspired by Battlefront II.
I liked the characters in general, and the story was interesting and well-paced. There are also some Easter eggs from The Clone Wars television show. Christie Golden has always been a solid author of video-game/franchise inspired stories. I hope Disney gives her another book to write.

Live-action remake of the 1994 Disney film which (from what I remember) sticks almost exactly to that source material, with Emma Watson's Belle perhaps given a bit more independence than before.

Mostly the same songs as before (although I'm not sure about Hermione - sorry, sorry, Emma Watson - vocals), with maybe one or two new additions, with those songs serving more as time fillers than for moving the plot along (compare these to those in Aladdin and you'll see what I mean) - that's not a criticism, as such, just an observation!

Dogs Loves Spaghetti

Lady and the Tramp- This Disney animated classic follows a pampered cocker spaniel named Lady (Barbara Luddy) whose comfortable life slips away once her owners have a baby. When, after some tense circumstances, Lady finds herself on the loose and out on the street, she is befriended and protected by the tough stray mutt Tramp (Larry Roberts). A romance begins to blossom between the two dogs, but their many differences, along with more drama at Lady's household, threaten to keep them apart.

Dogs can talk!!!!

Its a classic to all.

I was not a big fan of the original as a child much preferring other Disney classics but I did enjoy this. I disagree with others, I think Dumbo is a film that was In need of an update. I though visually it was fantastic and the elephants were amazing. Dumbo was very cute. I liked the characters but found the plot a little dull at times and drawn out. This is much much longer than the original. My children found it hard to sit through it all.
