For me this movie is the best thing Disney has done since The Lion King. Lin Manuel Miranda did great on the music. The fact that Disney employed actors of color for the voices of the islanders makes me very happy. This story is so powerful and moving. Great job Disney.

It puts some of their followers off,surprised as they might be here to discover that perhaps their favourite band aren’t some all-conquering rock juggernaut and actually quite like to get people moving.

Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite Studio Ghibli film. It's based off of a novel, which I have yet to read. I should, since I hear it's much more in depth, as most tend to be. I loved the animation of this movie. It's really beautiful, compared to some of the other Studio Ghibli films.

I am all for some fiction in movies.... I just cannot get past how this moving ignored so much actual history to bring this story to a conclusion. I am all for woman power, but I hated this movie.

Not to be rude, but yes, because otherwise, it is completely true to the world, right? Demigods, the Greek gods, and Themyscira - they all exist. It was just the whole disregard for historical events that the movie changed/added in.

Rinnah Two Feathers wish for adventure comes true when she spots a stranger casing a house in the neighborhood. A fast moving and fun mystery for middle schoolers. Well worth tracking down.

Several difficult and sensitive subjects handled very well and delicately without shying away from the reality. The Monster teaches such important lessons that are good for children and adults who have forgotten. Lessons about good and evil, humanity and most importantly letting go and moving on in the face of despair. Beautiful, just beautiful
