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.

This one way okay. It’s an acceptable Christmas romance, but like I said before, I’m a bit younger than the type of reader this is aimed for so I may be the wrong person to be reviewing this.

It was quite entertaining and it did manage to keep me hooked through the majority of the book. However, I did end up skimming the final quarter just because I was getting bored of the plot and was ready to move onto a new book.

I think that this has the prospect to be a really good book, but I’m just in the wrong age group to manage to relate to a lot of it.
  
The first books in Stuart Gibbs's three series with Simon and Schuster in one paperback collection. You've got Belly Up, about the murder of a hippo at the new mega FunJungle. Then you'll join Spy School with Ben. Finally, you'll journey to the first colony on the moon and solve a murder there.

All three of these books are delightful. The characters are strong and the plots move forward quickly with great twists and turns. No matter what your age, you'll turn these pages as quickly as possible and then move on to the other books in these series.
