The announcement of a live-action adaptation of an anime left me so nervous considering Hollywood's track record in the past, but this show was incredibly faithful to the source material. It genuinely felt like the characters were taken off of the pages of the manga and brought to life.

This film rendered me inconsolable as a child because I couldn't get over Nemo's mom and siblings getting eaten by the shark at the beginning. Once I was able to get over that, it's a touching story about family and knowing when to let your kids grow up. Watching it as an adult, I can really see myself and my parents in Nemo and Marlin, and that just gives me another reason to rewatch it besides nostalgia.

This movie already has a diehard fanbase, but I think it really would've blown up if it was released in the peak 2010s Tumblr era. It's a decent enough film, but I think it takes itself too seriously at times. The personal highlight for me was Nicholas Galitzine, and this is just one example of him proving to be one of the best emerging talents Hollywood has to currently offer.

I was absolutely obsessed with this show as a kid, and I still hold some pretty fond memories of it now. However, it's really hard as an adult to overlook the exploitation of the children that I can now clearly see, especially knowing what has gone on behind the scenes since the show ended.

A truly classic show and representative of my childhood. Whoever created this show was definitely onto something, because the show opened the door for world tours, merchandise, albums, and more. It felt like you couldn't take a step in the late 2000s/early 2010s without seeing some form of Hannah Montana somewhere. One of the shows that I actually didn't mind that it dragged on with so many seasons because they were actually executed pretty well.

It's a decent Christmas spin-off. A lot of the Disney Channel shows had movie spin-offs and most were really unnecessary (like the Suite Life Movie), so it was nice that they made this one a more seasonal piece. I really loved Good Luck Charlie and it's the last Disney Channel series that really captivated me, so I was glad to see that the film stayed true to the tone of the show.

As great as Cece and Rocky's dynamic was, this show just had the unfortunate task of stacking up against the other, much stronger Disney Channel entries of the time.

Masterchef Junior is honestly sometimes more entertaining than the adult version. Other kids cooking competition shows focus on the kids being chaotic and causing mess, but the kids they find for this show actually feel like they can cook. It was because of this show that I gained respect for Gordon Ramsey, seeing that he doesn't just yell at anyone and only at the adults who refuse to learn and grow.

I was completely obsessed with this movie as a kid because I was an avid player of the Nancy Drew PC games. Watching it back now really shows the film's age, but I think that actually adds to the charm of it all. Sure, it's not the cinematic masterpiece that I told myself it was when I was a kid, but it's an entertaining enough watch that I'd do so every now and then for the nostalgia.

I love the concept of this show because every episode can basically stand on its own. Even though there are some overarching plot points that span across the seasons, having Phineas and Ferb go on a new adventure every episode helps keep the show fresh. I still think that Doctor Doofenshmirtz being unable to recognize Agent P without his hat on is one of the best running gags of the era. Growing up is realizing that Candace was really a victim at the end of the day.

I'm glad that this was the show that truly propelled Kdramas into the mainstream. It's the right mix of everything that makes Kdramas great, from absolutely devastating story beats to characters you can see grow in front of your eyes. Jung Hoyeon is undoubtedly the stand out of the show, and it's crazy to think that this was her first major acting gig.

After the global success of Squid Games, I wasn't expecting another Kdrama to have such reach so quickly. There's something so tense about a zombie outbreak happening in such a small space, whereas most other zombies show focus on survival in the greater world. It's similar to Train To Busan, where the confined space adds to the thriller aspect of the show. My biggest gripe with western shows is that high schoolers don't usually feel like high schoolers because they're played by adult actors, but every character in this show comes off as a teenager which makes the situation all the more devastating.

engers is extremely bland, but you can't really expect much more from a film where there are essentially only two characters. I wish I could've appreciated more of the film like its visuals or sets, but I'm always distracted by the story and how angry it makes me that Aurora's life was essentially sacrificed all because a man felt lonely.

I don't know why but I started crying while watching this movie on a plane. The scene where Simon is pressured by his friends to come out got me in particular, but at least everything ended well unlike a lot of queer stories. One of the major queer films that made it into the mainstream that I can from the past decade or so.

This is a lot of people's favorite Disney princess movie and while it isn't mine, it is a very solid film. I appreciated that the toxic relationship between Rapunzel and Mother Gothel played just as big as a role as the romantic relationship between Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder. Even though it's a pretty palatable film, I do get put off sometimes because Rapunzel feels like the quirky, 'not like other girls' type of character.

Every now and then I this show exists and it feels like a fever dream. The drama between the characters was actually pretty solid, rarely felt forced and over-the-top. However, there's so much going on in the plot yet it somehow manages to become forgettable after season 1.

I had really low expectations for this movie, but I found it pretty enjoyable. I think Justice Smith carried a lot of the weight in what would be an otherwise bland film. It was cool to get a visual of what a world with Pokemon really would be like, even if the film's not perfect. I'm just grateful that we didn't get a Sonic moment with the animated Pikachu.

Such a wholesome film. For those of us who like to analyze everything, there are a lot of great themes about acceptance and a sense of belongings. For those who want just a simpler watch, Luca is a sweet movie about friendship and curiosity. It's one of those feel good films that I'd put on in the background after a tough day.

This movie is just fine. It's definitely not something I'd rewatch by choice, but it is one of the stronger Disney live-action remakes. Emma Watson looked stunning as Belle but her vocal performance just fell flat. It seems like Disney really struggles with either making their live-action adaptations a frame by frame copy of the source material, or changing it up so much that the plot makes no sense anymore (Mulan).

This movie is pretty forgettable to me, but I do have to praise their handling of Tony's PTSD and showing that superheroes aren't immune to trauma just because they have the strength to hold off an alien army.
