(trailer review) - Soul

Disney is Skynet.  I mean how many movies are they realeasing a year?  From the studio that brought us Inside Out (which was good and I enjoyed), Up (which was also good and I enjoyed) and Coco (one I didn't see but heard it was really good) these guys do NOT drop the ball.  I saw Toy Story 4 which was excellent (as per usual) and Incredible 2 (which was seemless after all these years and very good), it's just interesting where they are going to go with this movie about a black teacher and musician who falls down a manhole/sewer drain and possibly dies.  It's a little dark but a lot of these cartoons are.  When the brother died in Big Hero 6 (SPOILER ALERT - after the fact, I know), that got me hard!!! Let's see what they will do.  I feel like it will have a great message behind it and be VERY uplifting.  I feel the tears already.

Directed by Pete Docter and starring Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Questlove, Phylicia Rashad, Daveed Diggs,

(trailer review) - Wendy

Ok, so the first thing that caught me off guard was that, Peter Pan is a black (person of colour) child? I had to watch the trailer 3-4 times just to make sure I understood what they were doing here.... and I love it!  I mean other than the fact that, all I could think about whilst watching this trailer is, 'The Goonies', wild children and bad parenting, this film looks very heartfelt and also very modern in comparison to previous Peter Pan outings and also not very fantastical. It would seem like it is more rooted and grounded with small fantasy elements, ie whatever our imagination can conjure up and in this case, these children.  I'm interested in seeing another trailer and seeing where they will go with this. Not really my type of movie, unless they get but a bit more fantastical with it, but it has caught my attention.

Directed by Benh Zeitlin and starring Tommie Lynn Milazzo and Shay Walker
