Hello everyone and hello children! I just wanted to wish a happy Easter to everyone who celebrates. (And say Sorry for a lack of a big post this month, but I'll Make up for it in April. :)) Again, happy Easter and see you all soon! Love,  your Diva

  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 6 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...

  Hi everyone! Hi, kids!  So, it's been quite a while since I last published anything on here. I know, that's a rather big shame, and darn, I feel like I need to finally get some new works out! But anyhow, I've got some very good news for all of you - my blog should be fully back the coming February. :) This was Yours Truly, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that children enjoyed the gifts they got. See you all in February. Love,  your Diva 🎄

  Hi everyone, I know I've promised you all to branch out and do something different later last month, which bottom-line, didn't happen and I sincerely apologise for it. I might have to post-pone it for a while longer.  Why? Well, I'm putting my blog on hold until further notice for personal reasons. But don't worry, I'll be back, maybe in November, maybe in December or some time next year.  For now, thanks for reading my posts, even if they're a little boring, to be fair. You've been amazing people and kids, and I'm glad to see it. See you in a few months.                                   your Diva

I hope this wasn't too big of an inconvenience.  FINAL THOUGHTS: Back in January, I reviewed a South African kids' cartoon titled Jungle Beat . While it didn't stink like rotten cheese, it didn't blow me away, either. Now, you might be wondering: how about a French cartoon with essentially the same premise called Gazoon ? Well, turns out my childhood memories were not wrong, at all. Here's why I remember this cartoon so fondly from my younger years and why children today would still (likeky) find this show entertaining.  As I mentioned before, Gaz...

  Hello everyone,  today, I decided to do something a little different from my usual post and instead of a mini-review, I'm presenting to you my top 5 choices for Disney films I consider to be underappreciated. If you have thoughts of your own, that's great! I always appreciate your ability to think of what I say critically. :)    Before we start... I'd just like to lay off some rules for this list: 1. Only feature-length  films. That means no shorts or TV specials.  2. No sequels or remakes, since  these could be a list of their own (which I might be making soon, but I WON'T promise it just yet).  3. No Pixar films. For same reasons as above.  4. This is meant to be a fun list and it's all MY OPINION! So, take it with a grain a salt.  With that on mind, let's start!  Honourable mentions  Here are some films which, in order to avoid making this list too predictable, didn't make the cut. That obviously DOESN'T mean these are bad...

BASIC INFO  Year(s): 2007-2009 Country - the US, Japan Language - English Studio - Cartoon Network Studios Developed by: Marty Isenberg Written by: various writers  Suitable for ages: 5+ REVIEWER'S RATING  Writing: 9/10 Sound design: 10/10 Characters: 8/10 Animation: 6/10  OVERALL: 8/10  Before we start... I'd just like to wish a dear friend of mine, O., a happy birthday. This review is sort of a gift from me to him. Again, happy birthday, my friend, I hope this special is filled with joy for you, even if your mood isn't the greatest. :)  FINAL THOUGHTS:  Transformers: Animated ,   to me, is one of the best Transformers shows to be made to date, rivaled only by the likes of Prime (that's not to say I don't enjoy some of the other  Transformers shows, like Rescue Bots ,  EarthSpark  or  Cyberverse , quite the opposite!). Okay, let's get down to actually explaining what makes this show so good.  Surorisingly enough, what mak...
