OVERALL: 10/10



FINAL NOTES: 

What else can I say about this movie? It's truly a Disney classic and one of my favourites, just like The Lion King ! With a powerful moral lesson for all ages to never judge a book by its cover, further hammered home by the stark contrast between Beast, who may be scary on the outside but is a kind soul on the inside, and Gaston, a good-looking but self-centred man. 

Thanks to it's gorgeous animation, loveable characters, elegant storytelling, catchy songs and a powerful message - there's more to a person than you can see on the surface - make this film a truly timeless watch for both kids and adults. Oh, and the romance between our titular couple - Belle and Beast (aka Prince Adam) is just incredibly sweet , fleshed-out and well-written. :) 

BEFORE WE GO...

Thanks for reading this mini-review of mine. Valentine's Day is drawing near, so, what better way is there to celebrate than by reviewing one of Disney's finest romance films? Anyway, let me know what you think of this movie and have a good one. :)

with love,

                 your Diva ❤

PS My next review will also be a Disney classic, but this time, it's gonna be starring... lions.

I just wanted to say: thank you to a friend of mine who gave me constructive criticism regarding my previous mini-reviews. It means a lot to me. You're one of the best friends I could have asked for. :) Even if my life isn't always that colourful. FINAL THOUGHTS:  I can't say I blame myself for being so engrossed in this film, whether as a young girl or a fully-grown woman. I also don't care what others think about it, I will never forget how good The Lion King trilogy is as a whole. But I'm going to focus on the first movie in particular for purposes of this review.  With an array of catchy

'Auto-B-Good' - mini review

Obraz
BASIC INFO Country: the USA Year(s): 2005-2006 Network: Smile of a Child Runtime: 11 minutes Number of episodes: 63 (2 seasons) Directed by: Handen Jetmall & several others  Suitable for ages: 5+  REVIEWER'S RATING  Animation: 6/10  Sound design: 8/10 Characters: 7/10  Writing: 7/10 OVERALL: 7/10 FINAL THOUGHTS: The world of animation is no stranger to films and TV series featuring antropomorphic (showing human traits) automobiles or other vehicles, with Pixar's Cars , Hasbro's The Adventures of Chuck & Friends and even the British stop-motion cartoon, Roary the Racing Car , being just some examples I remember from my childhood.  With that said, how does Auto-B-Good , a cartoon created for the TV network Smile (formerly known as Smile of a Child) fare in comparison to these creations? Well... There's actually a lot to enjoy here. The stories, while pretty simple, are excuted in an interesting and cute way children and parents alike can understand and relate to.

6 incredible books for girls of ALL AGES!

Obraz
  Hello everyone and hello children, I know it's been a while since I have last written a proper post here and now, I'm fully back. With a surprise! This one is for all of you who love reading books, but it can also be seen as kind of an encouragement to read, especially for the little ones and youngsters. Anyhow, here are my 5 choices for amazing pieces of literature written with young ladies in mind (that aren't about glitter princesses, fashion models or rainbow unicorns;  NOT   that I've got anything against those, but some variety would be neat :)).  With that out of the way, let's begin. Oh, and the books are in a completely random order, this ISN'T a top 6 books, just a list of reads I find worth laying your eyes upon, so, no title is really "above" or "beneath" the other. ;)  6. Lady and the Tramp  - Step Into Reading (Disney)  This book follows the same story as its classic Disney film namesake. As the title suggests, it's a tale
