Disney is bringing the Magic of Encanto to the Big Screen This Month - Advance Screening Pass Giveaway

 

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope. The film features all-new songs by Emmy®, GRAMMY® and Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton,” “Moana”) and is directed by Byron Howard (“Zootopia,” “Tangled”) and Jared Bush (co-director “Zootopia”), co-directed by Charise Castro Smith (writer “The Death of Eva Sofia Valdez”) and produced by Clark Spencer and Yvett Merino. “Encanto” opens in theatres November 24, 2021.

Make Sure You See or should I say SEA Disney’s MOANA - Review

Thanks to Walt Disney Studios Canada, we had the opportunity to attend the advance screening of Disney’s MOANA.  This new Disney film not only looked fantastic, it included life lessons and some similarities to other water based characters from Disney as well.

 

Make Sure To See Moana Travel The Seas

Moana is adventure movie, that because of the spectacular animation, makes sure you are engulfed in the atmosphere. Just like Zootopia made you feel like you were part of their hustle and bustle of their city, this film, about a girl who is called to the sea, will have you thinking that you are wading in the water with her.  Whether she is on the beach, sailing a canoe or swimming in the deep sea, the scenery surrounding Moana is very much part of this story of overcoming obstacles.

Moana Is Loaded With Life Lessons

Many in the characters throughout the film struggled with doing what was expected of them instead of following their path.  In this film you will see Moana, her Father, Maui and even the evil Te Ka struggle with dealing the expectations of others and learning that by being their true selves they are able to thrive. There are also some lessons about vanity with a very sparkly crab, and a running theme of trying to do what is right for your community represented by the island village.

Seeing A Few Similarities

As mentioned in our MOANA contest post, we noticed some animated sea creatures in the poster that looked very similar to the ones in Finding Dory .  Once viewing the movie, we also thought that Hei Hei the chicken reminded us of the bird Becky in Finding Dory and the funny coconut men known as Kakamora were working together mischievously much like the mini snowmen in Frozen Fever. Perhaps the baby sea turtle we were introduced to could have been a young CRUSH from Finding Nemo/Finding Dory, and we did notice the shape-shifting into Sven from Frozen as well.

Along with all of the movie magic there are wonderful songs in MOANA and after seeing this film you’ll have some fun when people thank you because you will be compelled to SING you’re welcome when you reply.

Cinderella And Frozen Fever Advanced Screening - Enter To Win With Your #CinderellaMoment

 

The Classic Tale Of Cinderella Becomes A Live Action Film

The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.

Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honour her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.”

When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress.

Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince’s hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella’s life forever.

 

The Frozen Characters Return In A Short Film - Frozen Fever
