REVIEW: Disney’s “Wish” is a heartwarming homage to 100 years of magic

Sarah Carter, Staff Writer December 4, 2023

Disney debuts “Wish” in the year of its 100th  anniversary and pays tribute to the studio’s years of magic. Audiences can look for numerous references made to “Bambi,” “Peter Pan,” “Mary...

REVIEW: ‘Turning Red’ has a lot of heart but falls short of Pixar greatness

Eriq Dixon, Staff Writer March 13, 2022
"Turning Red" may not be Pixar’s most amazing film despite what it does offer. It’s childishly entertaining, easy on the eyes and features memorable characters that are sure to win the hearts of many. However, because the story fails to make any real attempt at a subtle approach to its theme, it loses emotional impact. It’s truly unfortunate that “Turning Red” is only a good movie when it could have been a great one.

REVIEW: ‘Luca’ is a simple flick that defies the traditional Pixar structure, for better or worse

Abigail Celoria, Contributing Writer June 23, 2021
In animation quality, “Luca” is certainly up to par with its predecessors—while the underwater world is visually sparse, the characters and the seaside village are both beautiful to look at, with a fluid cartoonish style to them. However, this film is divergent from the other traditional elements of Pixar—namely, the plot and the emotional themes.

REVIEW: ‘The Bad Batch’ is an impressive addition to the “Star Wars’ franchise

Boyce Rucker, Contributing Writer May 12, 2021
A spin-off of “The Clone Wars,'' “The Bad Batch” focuses on the titular squad of genetically enhanced clone troopers as they break from the ranks of the clone army after the execution of Order 66 and the emergence of the Galactic Empire. Unlike the majority of the clone army, the squad makes use of more creative and resourceful tactics when they’re engaged in battle while also displaying and acting on emotions with consideration to morality rather than simply following orders.

Mulan’s $30 price tag: Disney rolls the dice

Stephen Lambros, Staff Writer September 5, 2020
The novelty of a big film readily available through streaming may be hard to resist—and at a time when ticket and concession prices continue to skyrocket, families may very well see $30 as a ‘steal’ of a price worth taking advantage of.

REVIEW: The glory of Beyoncé’s “Black is King”

Cierra Noffke, Lifestyles Editor August 11, 2020
The visual film is a culmination of energetic, high-tempo dance sequences set to the beat of rich music, overlaid with the voices and native tongues of various artists. It is an intricate weaving of images, rhythmic dancing, flashing symbolism, laughter, poetry, darkness, and light threaded together by the narration of Beyoncé herself and the sweeping music from “The Lion King: The Gift” into one swirling visual display.
