#ShangChi is an absolute triumph, unexpectedly spiritual and emotionally complex, with some of the very best action in the MCU. @SimuLiu is your new favorite Avenger and the movie’s myriad influences (everything from Jackie Chan to Hayao Miyazaki) pay off big time). Astounding.🐉
#F1TheMovie is absolutely incredible. It’s one of the coolest, most entertaining movies you’ll probably ever see, but none of that sizzle takes away from its soul. Kosinski precision engineered an eye-popping, edge of your seat pop epic that makes you feel so much. I adored it.
Adored #Lightyear, which manages to thread several needles (hard sci-fi, time travel, loving homage to the entire “Toy Story” franchise) successfully without breaking a sweat. It’s insane that it works at all; that it works so well is a titanic achievement. What a ride. 🚀
Also, just in case Daddy Zaz makes me take it down — this is a new, exclusive image from the movie — save it, share it, treasure it! #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme
I love seeing the #RenewDuckTales2017 hashtag but regretfully inform you that the show is very much done and has been done for a little while now. Not sure why Disney Channel has yet to announce this, but it’s the truth.
#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse is a stunning achievement. Yes, it’s visually dazzling, with expansive, expressive new realms (Gwen’s world is my favorite). But the movie’s real superpower is its emotional depth and its beautiful, melancholic tone. I love this movie so, so much 🕷️
Repeat after me: "The Lion King" (2019) is STILL the highest grossing animated feature ever, with $1.663 billion worldwide. Its animation style is photo-real but it is still entirely animated. Disney's insistence that it is "live-action" is bizarre.
