Disney Challenge Day 23

A Movie That Makes Me Laugh: Wreck It Ralph





This movie is witty, the part that I will always laugh at is when the guards start singing "ORE-O EOOOOOOO." Also Ralph and Vanellope call each other the names like "poop head" etc. which is entertaining and even a bit endearing. Another part that makes me laugh is the relationship between Felix and Sergeant Calhoun--especially the part where they're sinking in quicksand and the "laffy taffy" saves them. Loved Wreck it Ralph!

Disney Challenge Day 21

An overrated movie: Cars




I love Cars, but making a third movie seems like a bit much. The second movie was just "okay," in my opinion, so why does there need to be a third one? The Cars craze is a bit out of hand because the originality of the movie isn't that great compared to movies such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc. I loved the new Cars section at Disney's California Adventure, but I'm just not a huge fan of the movies. I like them, don't get me wrong, I just don't see what the "big deal" is. Let's stop at Cars 2 and not make a movie about Planes which I heard was coming out. Like really? What's next? Motorcycles?

Disney Challenge: Day 19

My Least Favorite Pixar Movie: WALL-E




Sorry, it had to be said. The entire movie is like Cast Away because WALL-E doesn't talk. Clearly he shows emotion, but the entire time I wanted him to speak! This movie also lacked a quality of comedy that all Pixar movies seem to have. Sorry WALL-E, you're cute, but I'm not a fan.

Disney Challenge: Day 18

My Favorite Pixar Movie: Finding Nemo




I couldn't answer this any other way. I love Toy Story, Wreck it Ralph, Brave, and many more but Finding Nemo is the movie that stands out in my mind--which is why I'm so excited for the sequel. The entire movie is funny, sad, and lovable. Not to mention the characters are definitely the best out of any Pixar movie (Toy Story is a close second). As an audience member you find yourself cheering for the fish, crying with them, and rejoicing with them. Even though the friendship between Dory and Marlin seems unlikely, it makes a perfect match.

It's Official: Finding Dory

Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel Titled 'Finding Dory,' Set for 2015



I am so excited to say that the sequel to Finding Nemo, entitled Finding Dory will be in theaters November 25, 2015! As I posted earlier here, Dory is one of my favorite Disney/Pixar characters. She is funny, lovable, and put a smile on my face. I still remember when I first saw Finding Nemo! I was 10 years old and visiting my grandparents in southern California. My grandma let my twin brother and I have Del Taco (if you have never tried Del Taco you need to try it--best Mexican fast food) and we snuck fries into the theater (yes, they sell french fries!). I remember loving the movie, all the characters, and how Pixar brought the ocean to life for me, making it a little less scary.

According to Pixar, Finding Dory will take place on the California coastline, which makes this movie even more special for me considering where I saw the prequel! I know this movie will be awesome and seeing it 12 years later as a 22 year old will not change how much I'll love it. Dory, I have high hopes for you but I'm sure Ellen will do a great job!

Marlin, Nemo, and a few other characters will be back as well as new characters to be introduced, which I am so excited about because all the Finding Nemo characters were hilarious and perfect. 

Can 2015 come sooner?
