A Dairy Tale (2004)
2004 | Animation, Comedy, Family
Just as useless and spurned as the piece of shit movie it accompanies - but actually slightly better because the scrapbook animation is cuter and more effective in its pure cheapness, oddly enough. Plus it's only like three minutes long, unfortunately however it still features these unbearable comic relief side characters someone thought was a good idea to lump all into their own movie together. If Disney is going to keep re-doing their own tropes for decades to the point where the films become rendered into the equivalent of radio buzzing I'd much rather have them look like at least semi-decent corporate stank like 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘻𝘦𝘯 2 and π˜–π˜―π˜Έπ˜’π˜³π˜₯ than this type of bunk.
  
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
2021 | Action, Drama
The second of Marvel's post-Endgame TV shows s on Disney+ (after WandaVision), and this is a very different beast to its predecessor.

Whereas WandaVision was a (at times, plain weird) sitcomesque format with a central mystery of just what the heck is going on, this sets its stall out right from the start, with the show exploring the ramifications of what-is-now-known-as The Blip, whole also spending a large portion of the episodes dealing with Captain America's legacy, and with the super-soldier serum that first made him.

It also brings back some old characters from the movies (hello, Zemo. Hello, Sharon Carter) giving them further characterisation than they have had to date.

Callum Pitt comes to us from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, where he sits by the river and strums his guitar, whispering sweet nothings into the belly of the wind. His new single is a must-listen called simply Happiness.

It's a Disney-style romp through meadows of arpeggiated bells and jangly guitars, with a deep gentle swing and a little cowboy piano for good measure. Lately the BBC has taken an interest in Callum and we think his star is on the rise. He is building on the fanbase he connected with in 2016 with a spot at Evolution Emerging Festival.

You can also hear his song Happiness on Volume 2 of the CHILL NEW Songwriters series.

Kevin Costner remains one of the most special actors Hollywood has produced. Based on a true story, a coach is tasked with taking a non existent cross country team from literally Zero to anything, and given little to work with.

After finding a student who can most definitely run, he learns that the boy has other family obligations that prevent him from participating with the team. Overcoming that, coach convinces friends of the boy to join the endeavor. What they are able to accomplish is truly motivating and inspiring.

I feel corny suggesting this, but I wish Disney would focus more resources on this type of movie. They never cease to satisfy in this arena.
  
Moana (2016)
Moana (2016)
2016 | Adventure, Animation, Comedy
Typical Disney musical adventure, with Moana of the title the daughter of a Polynesia chieftain who sets off on a quest across the ocean waves in search of the demigod Maui (voiced by none other than Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) in order to convince him to return stolen property to lift a curse.

The big draw is, of course, The Rock (to give him his wrestling name), whose character initially starts out as unlikeable before. by the end of the movie, not being as bad as originally thought.

I also had to chuckle at the "Daughter of a chieftain. Cute animal sidekick. You're a Princess" (to paraphrase somewhat) line that he came out with!
