Movie Monday: A Goofy Movie

So I actually watched this movie a while ago and... I have a funny story to go with this. So when I was a kid A Goofy Movie was always the VHS tape I found when I was cleaning my rooms. I had all of my VHS tapes on top of my dresser and they would kind of fall on the floor behind that and it was a tall dresser so it was hard to get out. Anyway that was always what I'd find and I would watch it once I found it. Flash Forward 10-20 years later... I got the DVD and I put it out in the living room so that my mom could watch it with my niece if she wanted. My niece is 3 and sometimes makes a mess of things so she must have pushed it behind the TV when she was coming over- and of corse this was in the hardest spot to get to... so somehow I always have to clean before watching A Goofy Movie. 

So aside from that... I love this movie. I really like Goofy- but Max and his friends are fun to watch too. Plus Powerline is great... I just think this is a great movie. So if you've never seen the movie before- Max is kind of having trouble towards the end of the school year. There's this girl he likes that he tries to get to notice him by dressing up as powerline and taking over an assembly and he gets in trouble... and then Goofy is scared he'll end up in jail one day so he takes him on a road trip because he thinks thats the best thing for him. 

And Goofy on a road trip is just about the funniest thing ever. Plus he's doing things that are a little bit too young for Max- so Max just thinks everything is uncool... and he wants to try to get his dad to go to a Powerline concert because he told the kids at school that that was what he was doing cause he thought it sounded cooler than the fact that he was going on a road trip... it all ends up really good. 

I think all of the characters in this movie are a lot of fun too. They show quite a few babies and little kids and they're all super cute and idk. It's just well designed so that it does look like the world that Goofy lives in- but it's still different looking from Mickey Mouse or Duck Tales and Donald Duck. Its just really interesting I just like it a lot. 

So yeah the music is great- the jokes are all quotable... it's just great overall. I really liked seeing this movie- I loved Big Foot. It's a really fun movie. If you've never seen it it is on Disney Plus and the DVD was like $3 at Target I think. I'm sure now it's different I picked it up a long time ago but I like it a lot and I'll continue watching it when I need to clean my room. 

So yeah! I wanted to do Marvel Monday too... but I didn't do a Disney Blog last week for Movie Monday so... yeah. 

TTFN!

The Cozy Princess Reviews: Toy Story 4 (SPOILERS)

Okay guys... I'm going to be as fair as possible with my Toy Story 4 Review... I can't say I didn't enjoy it because honestly it is a really good movie... it looked beautiful, it was really funny and I loved all the new characters... I just did not love the ending of it. I'm going to spoil this movie right after this sentence so... I recommend go seeing it- so go see it then come back and read the rest of the review...

I am having a hard time accepting the ending of this movie and mainly 2 things: A) Woody left Buzz and all the other toys B) Bonnie really didn't care about Woody all that much.

I can kind of understand Woody not being Bonnie's favorite toy. She's a little girl- she's more interested in Jessie. Plus Woody is a secondhand toy- Bonnie had already had a lot of toys before Andy gave her Woody. Woody got that he wasn't Bonnie's favorite... but he still really cared about Bonnie- but he had to move on so he stayed with Bo Peep instead of going back with Bonnie... so he moved on... I can get that.

And I can understand why these things happened... it makes sense... It's just not as good a way to end it as Toy Story 3 was.

Other than those critiques... which are pretty big- this movie is pretty great overall! It is such a funny movie! The new characters were all pretty funny. Forky, Ducky and Bunny all super super funny. They really made great additions to the franchise. They could have definitely made Forky a more emotional character like Bing Bong- but I'm glad they just kept him as a funny character... it made it a nice, lighthearted movie... which is nice.

I also like that there wasn't really a villain. I thought Lotso was too much of a bad guy in Toy Story 3 and it just made me want a break from the VERY EVIL villains. Gabby Gabby was a nice toy that really just wanted a kid. It really made Woody a more valiant hero that he helped her.

It was nice to see how well Woody and Bo worked together at the beginning of the movie with Operation Pull Toy. It was nice to see them together again after not having Bo Peep in a movie- and we see how much Woody loves her. He has a selfish moment where he thinks about leaving Andy and going with Bo Peep... and it's a hard decision he still clearly thinks about and probably regrets. It was a really nice moment to set the movie and... it was really sweet.

Also great soundtrack by Randy Newman. The Ballad of a Lonesome Cowboy was great and "I Won't Let You Throw Yourself Away" was SOOO funny. With Forky trying to throw himself out... I love Randy Newman's very literal songs throughout the franchise. They did a great job with the soundtrack.

I think that is everything I need to say about this movie... hope you guys like it!

TTFN!
