Beauty and the Beast

Prince Adam was cursed to a beast form by Enchantress who saw no love in his arrogant heart for others. The one way he could break the spell was to learn to love another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted rose fell, which would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. But who could ever learn to love a beast? Ten years later, Maurice, an inventor from a nearby village, becomes lost in the woods and seeks shelter in the Beast's castle, the Beast imprisons him for trespassing. His daughter Belle, a bookworm who dreams of life outside her provincial village, finds him trapped in the castle and offers her place in his stead. The Beast accepts with a promise she'll remain in the castle forever. In the beginning Belle views him as nothing more than a monster, he views her as difficult and stubborn. But the two soon taste the bitter-sweetness of finding you can change and learning you were wrong. (Source: IMDB)

I think the music is great in this Disney film, and it is such a cute movie for children. It is entertaining and it makes you so happy! It is one of my all time favorites and recommend it to anyone who has kids. It is seriously one of the most beautiful love stories ever told! :D

Megan's Movie Review:

I was so excited when I saw this movie preview. The reason why is because Disney did another actual cartoon. It wasn't the animation films that have been so popular. Don't get me wrong, I do love those movies too, but I've missed the old Disney style of movies. Then it was a cute movie! It had good music and an adorable little story to it. Children would definitely like it and find it entertaining. I laughed at a few parts in the movie, and I love anything with romance in it, so... I really liked this movie. The boy frog is very funny, love his voice, and I did love the little firebug & his Evangeline.

How many stars:

4 stars

It is not a 3 star movie, because that is just average. It is better than average I think.

Any opinions?

Alice In Wonderland

1951 Alice in Wonderland: On a golden afternoon, young Alice follows a White Rabbit, who disappears down a nearby rabbit hole. Quickly following him, she tumbles into the burrow - and enters the merry, topsy-turvy world of Wonderland! Memorable songs and whimsical escapades highlight Alice's journey, which culminates in a madcap encounter with the Queen of Hearts - and her army of playing cards! (Source: IMDB)

2010 Alice in Wonderland: In the film, Alice is now 19 years old and accidentally returns to Underland, a place she previously visited 13 years ago. She is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen. Burton said the original Wonderland story was always about a girl wandering around from one weird character to another and he never felt a connection emotionally, so he wanted to make it feel more like a story than a series of events. He does not see this as a sequel to previous films or a re-imagining. (Source: Wikipedia)

2010 Starring: Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter

Megan's Movie Review:

The 1951 cartoon film of Alice in Wonderland was quite something. It never made sense and really had no point. Children may like this because it has lots of imagination. Although, when I was a child, I remember being confused when I watched it but entranced. What I heard though was that this movie was based on drugs. Is that true??

The 2010 Alice in Wonderland was really cool! I did not have high expectations when I went into the theater. I was not sure if I even wanted to see it at first. When my husband and I went for our anniversary, it was really neat! This movie actually had a point and a story to it, and Johnny Depp is so amazing at his weird roles. He is so perfect for the crazy acting and I love him. Tim Burton was also the director and I love a lot of his films. Very pleased with this movie! P.S. I did not see it in 3-D because it costs more and it was at the regular theaters.
