a good 30+ hours spent listening to all these many and varied short stories. My first introduction the Dunc and Egg (G.R.R.Martin) I picked this up for the Robin Hobb story which, as always, didn't disappoint. I have however now found many other excellent authors to feast my eyes and ears on. Enjoy reading or listening, it is definitely worth the time.

I remember growing up with Winnie the Pooh. Even today, I read the books to my students. I was very pleased with how the movie turned out. I love how Winnie remembered Christopher Robin for who he was as a child. It was pleasing to see how the characters remained after so many years and incorporated into the real world.
I love a good Robin Hood story but this one fell flat. The premise was spectacular and the characters well thought out but there are some things that you just can't do when retelling such a famous story. I am of course speaking of the romance. And I will leave it there as I don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

I was really dubious about this film, being a massive fan of the Robin Williams film, but it did impress me. I really liked this twist on how the game alters for the generation. I do wonder how they would continue it if they felt the need to do another though. I'm also curious how many younger people got the Alan Parish reference.

This is most definitely one of the best dinsey films ever made. It is a proper classic. Although they have the "traditional" princess in the story, it's not just a story based on her. The songs in it are so catchy, the storyline is just brilliant, and Robin Williams as the genie just makes the film! Defo a must watch
