G'day, mates! As we've seen, Disney's history with sequels has been... uh. Iffy. But how did it all start? Toss some shrimp on the barbie and grab a jar of Vegemite, we're headin' to the Outback to find out! And I don't mean the steakhouse.

DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of The Lost Lamp (1990)
I'm a bad 90s kid. I've never seen any of the Disney Afternoon. In my defense, I didn't have Disney Channel growing up (other than the tape my cousin made of every episode of Little Mermaid). So, I did the logical thing and binge-watched all of the original DuckTales over the past week. I willContinue reading "DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of The Lost Lamp (1990)"
One good turn deserves another!
Hey guys! Life’s still like a hurricane, but I promise the Ducktales Movie is still on its way. In the meantime, I listen to a lot of Disney podcasts at my day job (yay email jobs) and to my surprise, one of them gave me a shoutout! I actually listened to them a fair bitContinue reading "One good turn deserves another!"
Dick Tracy (1990)
It's a whole new decade! And what better way to celebrate than taking a little trip to the other studio and seeing what Touchstone's up to? After all, Eisner's desperation for a franchise, Katzenberg's obsession with star power, and the deranged vision of a wildly egotistical auteur can only end well, right?

Update
Hi guys, I'm alive! This blog has not been abandoned, I just took a short break that ended up going a lot longer than I anticipated. I burned myself out a little bit with the Little Mermaid reviews and meant to take a week or two off... then I caught a nasty summer flu. KickedContinue reading "Update"
The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning (2008)
Now we gotta cut loose, Finloose! Kick off your Sunday... um... well, they don't wear shoes in this movie. You can't have Footloose without feet. And Ariel's the lead now instead of the love interest. But it's totally the same thing. Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)
If there was one movie I watched almost as much as The Little Mermaid growing up it was... okay, well, it was Sleeping Beauty. But I also watched the sequel a lot. But this wouldn't be the first mermaid movie I watched a lot that didn't hold up to my adult eyes. Let's experience disappointmentContinue reading "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)"
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Disney Animation has been floundering for over twenty years at this point. We've managed to keep the ship from sinking, but this is the point where they finally find their feet. I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something's starting right now! Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not forContinue reading "The Little Mermaid (1989)"
Cheetah (1989)
Hakuna Matata... what a wonderful phrase! But did you know The Lion King isn't the first time American audiences heard it? You didn't? Well, maybe there's a reason for that.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
It's always nice to appreciate the little things. It's not so nice to be the little things, especially when it's the direct result of staggering incompetence and junk science. But it makes for some cool effects! Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.
