Robin Williams is fantastic in Aladdin during the 1990's Disney Renaissance
This film just makes me melancholic now watching the sheer genius Robin Williams as the Genie. To improvise the character to such an extent just goes to show Williams' incredible talent.

The animation itself is the first time to feature a non-white Disney princess, hence it is important to show the significance of characters from BAME backgrounds. It's disappointing to hear that the movie version is going to be whitewashed.

It is funny, clever, and is part of the 'Disney Renaissance' - a hip new sensibility to animated features and which still stands up in the age of Pixar and DreamWorks thanks largely to RW.

I really enjoyed this fourth book in the Septimus Heap series and can't wait for the fifth to come out next month. The plots keeping getting better and better as the series progresses. My only complaint is Jenna. She's getting to be very bossy and it's rather making me dislike her anymore. I understand Jenna's a princess and will be queen, but she was raised better than that and I wish she'd get a lesson in humility soon. Especially since she's basically the main secondary character. I really want to like her again. Overall, great story with great creativity, and I just love the 'epilogues' of various characters that is always included.

American Civil War vet John Carter is shocked to find himself suddenly on Mars where he becomes a semi-prisoner of a race of aliens. But then he meets another human and sets out to free them both.

I enjoyed the movie from last year and finally got around to reading the book. It was a lot of fun even if most of the plot was familiar thanks to the movie. There was one slow section that seemed to come out of no where to slow things down, but on the whole it was worth reading.

Collecting issues 7-12 of Marvel's new run of Star Wars tales, like issues 1-6 this is set between the events of the original (later subtitled A New Hope) and The Empire Strikes Back, and again follows the exploits of Luke and Artoo (with a brief interlude back to Ben Kenobi's days hiding out on Tattoine) alongside those of Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia (plus another newly-introduced character with connections to Han's past).

Of the two main series that I have read - these, and Darth Vader - I have to say, I found these to be the more enjoyable, the more action-packed, the more to give me the 'feel' of a Star Wars film.

Overall I fell in love with Villainous, with some minor hiccups with some of the rules at first, I ended up having such fun. I can’t wait to play it again with a different villain but I also can’t wait for the next instalment The Worst Takes it All which introduces Hades from Hercules, The Wicked Stepmother from Snow White and Dr Facilier from Princess and the Frog. There are so many villains that I would love to play as and I think this is where the game has its biggest strength, the characters and how each time you play it will be an entirely different experience.
