![]() But seriously, this move is awesome. It's almost impossible to deny that The Lego Movie was a stroke of animated genius; the casting, the humor, the animation, everything about it ensured the film would be an instant classic. And while Lego isn't a stranger to the Batman universe, with countless games, products, and DC Heroes Lego films galore, it was only a matter of time after the success of the 2014 animated hit that we would see Will Arnett don the plastic, pointy eared cowl once again. And man, it was worth the wait. This movie is just downright fun and has a heckuva lot of heart. A perfect balance of humor and serious moments give way for a climactic and entirely unique Batman experience. It's every 90s kid's Batman fan-fiction come true, it's incredibly meta in all the right ways, and Zach Galifianakis will be your new favorite Joker (one you never knew you needed). Sure, it has quirks that makes it more humorous than a typical Dark Knight film, but it's so satisfying. The Lego Batman Movie is the fan-service Batman film we've all been waiting for. Honestly, it could be THE Batman film we've been waiting for.

![]() It seems as though every other post on Social Media nowadays involves bragging about how great kids had it in the 90s. Now, don’t get me wrong, the 90s were an amazing time to be alive, but I like to think the greatest thing 90s kids ever got to experience was the decade of Disney greatness. You know the one. Disney films were in their prime in the 1990s, introducing full original soundtracks, beautiful hand-drawn animation, and some of the most beloved stories ever told brought to spell-binding life on the big screen. All of them instant classics we still watch today. It brought us masterpieces like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King, to only name a few, and it created a generation of wide-eyed dreamers and lovers of classic hand-drawn animation. It's an art form that has gone by the wayside. So many films, especially in animation, just seem to be built around pop-songs, toilet humor, and viral hype instead of the simplistic motives and intentional soundtracks many of us grew to love from classic Disney. So, naturally, when you combine the great minds behind some of these iconic films with the musical genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda and the powerhouse, iconic voice acting of Dwayne Johnson, you can almost guarantee an instant classic. Needless to say, I was instantly in love with the incredibly original and beautifully painted masterpiece of nostalgic Disney magic that is Moana. It strives to prove that you belong, you are significant, you are important, right where you are. |
