A Psychedelic Delight for All!
This gem of a movie, brought to life by legendary director and animator Chuck Jones (Road Runner, Tom and Jerry etc.), is something magical and downright strange.

It has been 52 years since it's release, and before tonight probably 20 years since I saw it last. I see now that this classic piece of children's cinema is a timeless classic, that I think for the most part sadly remains forgotten.

The story itself feels very similar to "Alice in Wonderland" , with hints of "The Wizard of Oz" added to make something honestly quite unique.

Another thing that is essential to mention in this review, is that I believe it is enjoyable to those literally any age.

Overall, whether you want warring kingdoms, princesses, lovable characters, strange monsters or just a great story with an excellent moral, this is the film for you!

Enjoy, folks!

Maggie Hoskie is a Native American in an apocalyptic world where monsters are real, and only magical strength can kill them. Most of the world is underwater, but one of the safe places is the Navajo Reservation, otherwise known as Dinétah. And magic has returned. Not just magic though, but also the gods and heroes.

It would seem that Maggie is something of a reluctant hero, and doesn’t take any nonsense form anyone. She likes to be alone, seeking out company when she wants it - not the other way round. I liked her, and I’ll be interested to see how her character develops further in subsequent books.

I liked the world-building, the peripheral characters, but to be honest, I would have loved a bit more background, both in how the world flooded and the gods. But then again, it was a good way of hooking me, because I WILL be reading the next in the series!

Bound ( Destine Academy book 6)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As Caroline embarks on year eleven at magical Destine Academy, she’s more determined than ever to find out what has happened to her mother and brother

...even if it means taking down her aunt, headmistress for the academy, Marguerite Destine.

Her feelings towards Aldrick and Corbin are more complicated than ever, as both gentlemen keep their distance, leaving Caroline confused.

While the headmistress denies that Tempeste and The Entiere pose any imminent threat, Caroline is still haunted by her encounter and is determined to master the POWERS of the four factions; Magicks, Surnaturals, Metamorphes and Voyantes.

With the help of her friends, Caroline’s strength grows as she learns what it means to harness her destiny—but will it be too late?

I love this little series I look forward to each book. They are quick read that always packs a punch!
