Kim Possible
(2019)

Worst Disney Channel Movie
I grew up with actually good Disney Channel films like the HSM trilogy, Camp Rock, the latter 2 Cheetah Girls films, and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. Even when i grew out of them, there were still good ones, such as Lemonade Mouth, the Descendants series, Girl vs. Monster, Let it Shine, etc, but this is the worst one I've seen.

Reasons 1. Casting: For the most part, the acting is meh, not surprising. The cast isn't too bad and is forgivable. But.... 1. Bonnie isn't Asian 2. Ron doesn't have a screechy voice 3. Tim and Jim have spiky hair 4. Barkin has hair 5. Shego has slanted eyes 6. Drakken is blue 7. Wade is overweight and older than he appears in the movie. 8. Almost all of the background characters look dead inside.

2. Effects Drakken isn't blue and Shego isn't green in this movie. The special effects range from meh to embarrassing. The CGI looks like it belongs in a Spy Kids movie and at it's best, Agent Cody Banks. but even this isn't the worst part

3. Dialogue The dialogue is cringy to say the least. the overuse of "modern teen lingo" is the equivalent to "How are you, fellow kids?" It makes the film hard to watch, but even this isn't the worst.

4. It ruins the story and characters The original story of KP takes place in the early 2000s, Bush-Era America. Not 2019. They should be using flip phones and not smart phones. There are no crop tops nor is there a Cheerleading team. Instead they have modest outfits and a soccer team. It contradicts the original in that, Ron owned Rufus before the events of the show.

But the worst thing is...

It ruins Kim. Kim is pathetic in this "adaptation". The original Kim could be a bit awkward and sensitive at times, but never to the point where she is unable to function. Kim was a strong character, but now she's a weak character. It seems like they took what made Kim, Kim and put that in the new character...

Athena, she's a cyborg. She becomes a Mary Sue character and ruins Kim's life because she was sent by Drakken to do so. Anything Athena does, she does perfectly and she almost died at the end, but modern Disney doesn't have the guts, so they brought her back and removed her evil.

I hate Athena, Kim is pathetic, Ron is obnoxious, Wade barely does anything, same with Rufus and Drakken is a failure in every sense of the word.

Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle
(2015)

Could've been so much more...
I loved the first and second films and the animated series. I think they're amazing. But this film was a big letdown. The songs are okay, the animation is low quality, ever lower quality than the animated series. Ted isn't charming anymore, the new characters aren't interesting. It was boring, and and there is a enviromentalist message for some reason. It isn't horrible, but a huge letdown. It wasn't good and it could've been so much more than it was.

Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey!
(2009)

Cutest. Movie. Ever!
I have always loved the Curious George animated series as well as the first movie. But this is my favorite thing to come out of the franchise. Because it's just so heartwarming. This film always puts me in a good mood. I love the songs, the characters, the animation, which is similar to both the animated series as well as the first movie., George is as endearing as ever, overall, this is just an amazing film!

All Dogs Go to Heaven 2
(1996)

Really good by sequel standards.
I really enjoyed this film. The songs are very good, especially Count Me Out and I Will Always Be With You. The new characters are interesting, especially Sasha La Fleur, she has style, class, sass and a gorgeous voice. Red, is a pretty good villain. And the returning characters are actually pretty good. The film may have many mistakes, but i really like it.

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
(1998)

Favorite movie for a reason.
This is my favorite movie. I like this better than many films that are objectively better. A lot of them actually. The film has an excellent story by Disney sequel standards. Sure it´s just another forbidden love story, but it is an excellent one. The music is probably the best thing.

He Lives In You: Epic opening, arguably better than Circle of Life. Also Tina Turner did a cover of this.

We Are One: Strangely, this is my least favorite song. It has a sort of simple sound, and while the lyrics are good, I find this song kinda boring.

My Lullaby: Oh. My. Goodness. This song is DARRRRKK!!!!....rai. (Pokemon Joke LOL) This is one of my favorite songs in the movie and one of my favorite movie songs in general. This song is masterfully done.

Upendi: I don´t have anything to say. It isnt too interesting. But ill take it over Hakuna Matata any day.

Not One Of Us: This scene is so powerful and the scene displays some of the best animation in this movie.

Love Will Find a Way: My favorite movie song ever. The song is just so beautiful. I love this song.

The film is arguably better than the original, especially in the soundtrack. The new characters are good. Rafiki is given more screen time and Timon and Pumbaa are given less. Even if this film isn´t better than the original, i think it is, and thats what matters to me.

The Secret of NIMH
(1982)

Go see this movie.
This film is fantastic. This was a great start for Don Bluth´s movie career. This film had gorgeous visuals, great voice acting, a great story and is one of the darkest animated films i´ve ever seen (The only film that beats it is Coraline). Many of my favorite movies star british people and this is one of those films. I can't find anything negative to say about this movie. Anything negative stems from the fact it's an old movie meaning it would held back by the technology of the time. I would definitely recommend this movie. 9.6/10

High School Musical 2
(2007)

Great!
Another great HSM film. I remember this as the best one. And honestly, i still think it is the best one. The songs are again, amazing. The story is again, quite good. Other than the soundtrack, this film improves on everything the orginal film did and im fine with that, since i love watching all 3 movies. Also the credits are a blooper reel. So that is awesome.

High School Musical
(2006)

Very enjoyable.
When a soundtrack of a movie can raise my level of enjoyment, well then i don´t know how good that makes the movie. But i loved this film when i was younger and i still think it´s very good. The soundtrack is probably the best thing about it. But the soundtrack is so great it makes an already good film great. If you like musicals, more specifically, musicals directed to kids an teens, this film is for you.

Volki i ovtsy. Beeezumnoe prevrashchenie
(2016)

Great
I came into the movie expecting something like Sahara (2017). I thought it would be a good film with nothing outstanding. But this movie was great, i have not seen many animated films from outside the US and the UK, but this is by far the best one ive seen.

Positives: The story: I dont have too much to say about the story, i found it good, even great, but this isn´t the films greatest thing.

Voice Acting: Wow, this film has so many actors i know, Tom Felton, Sarah Natochenney, Alyson Leigh Rosenfield, and of course, China Anne McClain. Ruby Rose did an excellent job as Bianca and i couldn´t think of a better person to play her. Same with McClain as Lyra.

Animation: It is very impressive. This animation is so much better than the other Russian movie ive seen (Space Dogs). The animation looks beautiful and the characters all look like there was a lot of effort put into their designs.

Emotional scenes: The scene where Bianca breaks-up with Grey is very sad, but its easy to see she still cares about him. Grey also cares about Bianca a lot. And when they meet again after Ragear takes control of the pack and Bianca tells Grey to leave is just so heartbreaking. You can hear how sad Bianca is in this scene.

Dialogue: Good, but i have nothing to say about it.

Characters: Grey: Well-meaning but immature wolf. A likable lead and Tom Felton (A.K.A. Draco Malfoy) makes the character much more interesting.

Bianca: Ive already talked about her a bit in this review, but she probably is my favorite character. Why? Because i admire a strong female. Ok thats not the only reason why. Ruby Rose does an amazing job as her. And i admire her as a character, with her being brave and independent.

I dont have much to say about the rest of the characters.

Negatives: Other than the kinda bad pacing early on in the film, i don´t have anything bad to say.

Overall, i definitely recommend this film. Great story, Great animation, Great characters. and it has it´s fair share of emotional scenes. The film is on dailymotion so if you have the time, please watch it.

Camp Rock
(2008)

Its been awhile.
It has been quite some time since ive seen this movie last, but i loved this movie when i was younger. I love the songs and i like the story. It´s not as good as the HSM movies but it´s pretty good.

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D
(2005)

It´s not bad.
It has a decent story, the visuals can look decent at times (when Lavagirl comes out of the volcano.) The CG may not be good, but watch food fight, and then watch this. You tell me which has better CG. The voice acting is pretty good. The characters are good. Taylor Lautner sings (that´s a good thing right? yes.) And most importantly, the message of pursue your goals even when people are putting you down.

The Lion Guard
(2015)

Not as disappointing as many others think.
The show itself doesn´t look terrible but it doesnt look great. It completely changes the characters of Kiara and Simba. But there are a few stand out moments. Such as any of the three episodes with Jasiri (voiced by Maia Mitchell), Jasiri is a friendly, sassy, clever, kind-hearted and overall a very likable character. But overall the show is mediocre because it messes up the first 3 Lion King movies.
