Mulan (’20 review)
4 out of 5 The 2020 Mulan live-action remake of Disney’s 1998 animated Mulan is definitely the same story in both versions, give or take an Eddie Murphy voiced dragon. However, unlike copy and paste recent Disney adaptations like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin or The Lion King, this Mulan has pep. It looks great…

The Lion King (’19 review)

Sometimes it’s so overdone it degenerates into a lot of noise and CGI…

Peter Pan & Wendy
3 outta 5 The remake train for Disney animated classics keeps diligently chugging along, with the latest one being Peter Pan & Wendy. There are some interesting changes to the Walt Disney 1950’s film, and in other moments it recreates certain bits exactly. Why does Disney feel the need to remake every one of its…
