Christine Allard (22 KP) rated The Animators in Books
Jan 30, 2018 (Updated Jan 30, 2018)
A story of passion, friendship, obsession, and self-discovery
Give yourself a few hours to dip into the creative world of animation—one you haven’t likely given much thought to in the past.
This novel is rich with character details and development, while holding back as much as the characters hold from themselves.
It’s an unfolding of the creative process, of friendship and love and loyalty, with a shadow of darkness and feminism. It could have become strident, but Whitaker strikes a balance of advancing the story while leaving the reader to draw their conclusions about self-exploration and the exploitation of others.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated The Story of Diva and Flea in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Flea is a street cat in Paris who lives by his wits all alone. Diva is a dog in a small apartment building who is afraid of everything. When their paths cross one day, they build a friendship. How might that change their lives?
This early chapter book is longer than normal for author Mo Willems, but it still holds all of his charm and bits of humor. The story is utterly charming for all ages, and the lessons about the power of friendship are great.

Fox and Hound
The Fox and the Hound- I remember watching movie as a kid. Had the VHS tape, as a kid and remember watching it. Now watching it as adult, its so different. You watch it as a adult, its different than watching it as a kid. Cause you understand more about whats happening, you understand more about the plot and whats going on during the story than as a kid.
The plot: After his mother is killed, Tod the fox (Mickey Rooney) is taken in by the kindly Widow Tweed (Jeanette Nolan). He soon befriends the neighbor's new hound dog, Copper (Kurt Russell). The two are inseparable, but their friendship is hampered by their masters and by the fact that they are, by nature, enemies. They grow apart as they grow older; Copper has become a strong hunting dog and Tod a wild fox. The pair must overcome their inherent differences in order to salvage their friendship.
Its a story about friendship, betrayal, overcoming nature and getting older.
Its a great movie and classic.

I've really enjoyed this series. I've loved the friendship between Ash, Lyre and Piper, and of course the romance between Ash and Piper but the sort of unfinished-leave them hanging-could be forever-thing between them now that the series has ended. Though maybe they'll make appearances in Lyre's story.

I absolutely LOVED "On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness". It's funny, adventurous, magical, and so heartfelt. I loved that it's about family and friendship above all else. It's such a beautiful little tale packed with the tug o' war of conflict, beasties galore, and an unforgettable world!
