Disney’s Finding Dory Review

by

After the amazing success of Finding Nemo, we couldn’t wait for Finding Dory. We had seen the trailer way back last year and the children kept asking when it was coming to our screens. No surprise at the excitement of being invited to a special screening of the film at Leicester Square. We were treated to some face painting in the foyer and some under the sea fun. The children enjoyed getting their portraits drawn and made into keychains. And then, we entered the cinema to take our seats for what promised to be a very entertaining film. The characters in …

Review: Disney’s The Jungle Book – A Phenomenal Retelling

by

Ever since I got this, I’ve been excited. The Jungle Book (1977) was the first Disney animated film I watched and it has been remembered fondly every since. I watched it again with the children and it went down a treat with them too. As much as I was excited, I was apprehensive. Would it live up to the original? I needn’t have worried. Only Disney can do this – take an old favourite and turn it around, leaving the original intact and making sure the new one leaves it’s own footprint. The film has spectacular settings and and stunning …

Disney’s Big Hero 6 – A Review

by

On Sunday, we got up early (really early) to make our way to Leicester Square for the Gala Screening of Disney’s Big Hero 6. Now, we have been anticipating this film in a BIG way ever since we saw the trailer at Disney’s Planes 2. We arrived early and waited for the doors to open for the fun in the foyer. There were Baymax balloons, face painting and hair accessories. What fun! The main highlight was the film of course. Big Hero 6 – definitely set to become the next BIG thing after Frozen. I am not saying it will replace …

Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return – A Review

by

Who doesn’t love The Wizard of Oz? It’s got music and magic  – two things that children enjoy. We love the songs and Dorothy and Toto. I didn’t know there was a Return to Oz film so when I was asked to review it I was quite thrilled. I couldn’t wait to watch it with the children and we decided to make a movie night of it. Armed with popcorn, we sat down to watch the film. We were enthralled from  the word go. It was interesting and magical and kept us totally absorbed. My son who had decided he …

An Exclusive Screening of Disney’s Planes 2:Fire and Rescue – We were there!

by

A few Sundays back, I had 3 very excited children in tow on the tube to Leicester Square. It was early in the morning and they had been up for ages ready to make the trip. You see, we had been invited to an exclusive screening of Disney’s Planes 2: Fire and Rescue. Now, that’s enough to get any child excited, I think. The event was being held at the Leicester Square Odeon and the children were really thrilled as I had told them that they may also have an opportunity to play the new Disney’s Planes 2 virtual reality …
