Troop Beverly Hills (1989)
Family favourite
I was obsessed with this film as a little girl and still love it as an adult. My mum still loves it too. I understand a lot more of the jokes now I'm an adult as well.
No it's not amazing cinema...but it's fun, classic 80's, full of great quotes, and touches on lots of issues. Shelly Long commits 100% and kills it. 'Cookie Time' is one of my favourite scenes. And the beach boys' opening credits song is probably why I loved them as a kid as well.
Not to mention the cast is full of recognisable faces. I recognise someone new every time I watch it. Plus a bunch of fun celebrity cameos.
Always worth another viewing.
Wish (2023)
Had its moments, but overall a bit meh
I enjoyed the songs, but they didn't capture my attention the way Encanto's did. The story was a bit dull and all over the place. I tried to keep expectations low, and while I liked it, I didn't love it like I did Raya and the last dragon, Encanto, or the other recent Disney films. I feel maybe they spent too much time giving nods to classic films, rather than making the story more interesting.
The style was ok, but I agree it looked like early 2000's dreamworks. Not 2D enough like Princess and the frog, and not 3D enough like the more recent films.
Ralph Breaks the Internet was a better nod to classic Disney than this film.
Puppy Love (2008)
Adorable and extremely well done!
This is one of the cutest shows I've ever seen. But it's not just about cute dogs, the stories themselves are very interesting and entertaining. The acting and writing is top notch too!
These short little 'episodes' manage to fit in a complete story into 6-10 minutes incredibly well. And while you may wish for more once it's over, the story being told has been completed.
As far as favorites, I must say I am biased to the eps Shared Custody and Whose Dog is it Anyway, because I am a fan of both Janel Moloney (not to mention Dan Hedeya), and Sarah Paulson.
I'm making it a goal to get as many people to watch it as I can!
