Disney's Coco: Review

Hi my lil' fairies, Two movie reviews within the space of two weeks, aren't I lucky? Well, in this case, I definitely am because I saw two very different but both as amazing films recently. The first one was obviously The Greatest Showman and feel free to have a look back at that review if you want. The second one, as shown in the title, was Disney's Coco and this was probably the first Disney film I've seen in the cinema for a long time and I went alone. I worry how weird it must've looked amongst the crowd of little kids, just one lone student - well I definitely wasn't the only adult there without children and that's testament to the amazing film It's been a box office hit in the US and, since the release of it in the UK on Friday, it's become a big family favourite with viewers. Disney have definitely taken a different route from the normal Princess love story and found a beautiful and creative route: the story of dreams, and most impo...

The Greatest Showman Review

Hi my lil' Fairies, I had the pleasure of going to see The Greatest Showman last night. Even though I was looking forward to seeing it, I was sceptical on whether it would live up to some reviews. Luckily, I loved it and want to see it again, buy the album and marry Zac Efron! The film's based on the true story of P. T. Barnum's (Hugh Jackman) journey with creation of his Barnum & Bailey Circus and the lives of its star attractions. The first song, The Greatest Show, was an awesome way to start the film and really set the tone for the whole film. It introduced us to the cast from the get go but didn't really give away any of the story but it got me really excited to see what the storyline would bring. Without giving away too much of the story, Barnum recruits unique outcasts such as the Bearded lady Lellie Lutz, The World's fattest man and a brother and sister Anne Wheeler (Zendaya) trapeze act and embraces their oddities. With the help of Phillip Car...

Halloween Costume Controversy Response

Hello my lil' fairies Sometimes, I'll be watching daytime telly (Loose Women, This Morning etc) and I'll stumble upon a topic of discussion that really sparks a reaction inside of me which I normally respond to by tweets. This morning I was watching Good Morning Britain and a topic came up that I knew needed a lot more than just 240 characters. It's something that is extremely close to my heart and really relevant at the moment. I am a massive Disney fan and meeting the characters and Princesses at Disneyworld are memories I won't forget. It's also Halloween and millions of little children are going out to buy costumes of their favourite Princesses like Cinderella, Elsa and Jasmine. So, you can imagine my surprise when I heard Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley talking about the cultural appropriation of Halloween costumes, and in particular Moana and Elsa costumes. My view might be controversial in this PC society but, as someone of ethnic origin, I thin...

My Top 5 Disney Moments...

Hello my lil fairies, Like I've said, I probably had some of the best moments of my life while I was in Disney and it almost seemed impossible to narrow it down to a top 5. Yet, it seems like it would be a waste to not try and get it down to a small list because it might help you if you ever decide to go. It's sort of my top 5 moments and stuff that you should probably do when you go there. 1. The Happily Ever After Fireworks If fireworks can make me cry then somebody has done an amazing job! The Happily Ever After Fireworks at Magic Kingdom was probably the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Disney managed to put together amazing fireworks, detailed illuminations and a beautiful story to make a spectacular spectacle! The blend of old and new Disney meant that everyone could at least sing along to half of the show, with Toy Story and Moana, you can't say that they're not catering to the masses. I felt like you need to go and watch it twice, once to look at...

My Magical Floridian Holiday

Hi Guys, I've been quiet for a few weeks and there's been a reason for that, I was lucky enough to be able to jet off to Orlando in Florida with my family for two weeks for a fortnight of magic and fun. I just got back yesterday and I don't think I'm ready to give up that feeling. This means that the next few posts on this blog are going to be based on my holiday. This post is just a quick look back because the holiday was filled through so much that I couldn't even think about writing about it in one post. I had high expectations for this trip because it's been about 8 years since I'd last been and my love for Disney has just grown. There were some major differences from the last time I went. The biggest thing was that we stayed at a Aparthotel last time whereas, this time, we stayed at Disney's All Star Music Resort. Even though it's one of the cheaper options, it didn't make the trip any less magical and made life much easier but I...
