Tip Tuesday: How To Catch Snapping Turtles In Animal Crossing New Horizons

I'm not an expert on Animal Crossing New Horizons, but I think I found a good trick to catching Snapping Turtles... and it helped me catch a lot!

I got a ticket to a mystery island- and I wasn't really on a Special Island (even though I always try clapping at Orville to get a special island lol.) Anyway I was on the waterfall island and I kept fishing and all I got was trash! I had caught a few smaller fish but then after that it was just trash. I happened to have some fish bait so I thought "Okay, if I use this I'm guaranteed to catch a fish right?" After that I got almost ALL SNAPPING TURTLES!

I heard that you have to scare all the fish away for snapping turtles to spawn- so once you start catching a lot of trash- that's a good sign that there are no fish left, so if you use your fish bait you can probably catch some snapping turtles.

Crafting the fish bait is super easy- but I think you can only craft it on your own island. The only thing you need are clams- which you can dig up in the spots on the beach that have little holes spouting water. Craft those and make sure to bring them on your island tour because they're very useful and I haven't found any clams on a mystery island!

Snapping turtles are worth 5,000 bells I think... and I think I caught 6 of them so that's 30,000 bells! If you go on a day where CJ's on your island you could get a little more or you could give 3 to CJ so that Flick can craft you a Turtle Statue.

So yeah there's my tip for animal crossing. I hope you guys like this! Let me know what other tips you'd like to see on Tip Tuesday!

Movie Monday: Onward

Alright- so I'm not sure if I'm going to alternate between Movie Monday and Marvel Monday the way that I used to... but I've watched some Disney Movies so I will have some of these Movie Monday's Coming up so... yeah.

Anyway- let's get to one of my new favorite Pixar movies- Onward! So I've seen this movie twice now- once in theaters and once on Disney Plus the day it was released on Disney Plus and this was actually the last movie I watched in theaters when things were still normal! I really loved it as you might be able to tell and I just thought it was a sweet and heartwarming movie!

Onward centers around 2 Brothers living in a fairy tale world that started using technology more than magic. The older Brother Bartley is Daring and loves the old lore of the magical world they live in and his brother Iain is an awkward teenager just trying to survive high school. On Iain's 16th birthday he gets a special gift- a Wizard Staff from his late father and a spell that promises to bring him back for 24 hours. Of corse when Iain and Bartley attempt the spell things go awry and they only bring back their dad's legs. So they need to go on a quest in order to get what they need to bring the rest of him back to life for whatever time they can with him.

The quest itself was really fun. Iain and Bartley were both really fun characters to follow and we got to see the very magical universe that they lived in... which I would love to see more of btw! If they did a sequel or like a show on Disney Plus in this universe- I'd totally watch it! It's such a fun world! It was also fun to see the dad's legs... lots of physical humor there that just made me laugh a lot. It's a really funny movie besides being heartwarming and fun to watch. As I said- it's one of my favorites from Pixar.

One of my favorite things in movies is when everything is used. Basically every line and every joke had some greater significance in the movie that lead to a really exciting and fun ending. It was very consistent and it just made everything tie together in a nice, satisfying way. Like the brothers buy Cheetos at a gas station, and that's significant later on in the movie! Who would think that?

Anyway that is everything! Definitely check out Onward, right now it is available to rent digitally as well as on Disney Plus! Worth checking out for sure!

Bye!

An Update: Still The Cozy Princess- but not just disney.

Hey guys! Sooo... I love this blog and I really miss writing here. That being said... I think I'm going to expand this blog to be more than just Disney Posts. I am still very inspired by my love of Disney... but I do have some other loves that I feel like might fit on this blog a little bit better than my other blog.

I might talk about Harry Potter on here... I think I'm going to talk about my Nintendo Switch games and Animal Crossing New Horizons here because I've been LOVING that game right now. I might focus a little bit on the "cozy" aspect of this blog too... maybe I'll talk about some books and tv shows that aren't just Disney related. I'm not quite sure!

So I've got some ideas on things to post here- I still think I'll post on my other blog and I think I'll do more reviews on that blog... but especially now I want to focus on things that are cozy and things that just make me happy and things I think are magical.

I hope you guys are excited! I'm excited about this!

TTFN!
