I've finally got round to watching the last 3 Star Wars films. Having decided to have a binge day watching them last weekend, they were certainly an improvement on Episodes 1-3 (Jar Jar Binks was a really annoying character),but you cannot beat episodes 4-6 as great Sci-Fi films.
Having a read of what other people have enjoyed, i'll start making my way through them this weekend.

My faves so far
Encore!
Once upon a mattress - utterly brilliant Tracey Ullman princess and the pea movie.
All the freaky Friday and parent swap films.

We’ve been watching all the Marvel films in chronological order (not release date) and it’s been bloody marvellous. Wasn’t a marvel fan in the slightest, was looking for something easy watching of an evening to a) stop me working in the evenings and b) stop me thinking about work in the evenings!
Only got Avengers Infinity war and Endgame left to watch.

What has everyone set their profile pictures to from the characters available?
I’ve gone with Hannah Montana. Just because, why not.

Great question. My daughter is Elenor of Avalor and Giles and I are Joy from Inside Out.
One thing I like about the service is that auto play next episode is disabled for children’s profiles.
I enjoyed the documentary about Frozen 2 (and felt that it explained why there were so many giant plot holes), suggest everyone experiences ‘The Little Mermaid Live’ because it’s like being on acid and, not unsurprisingly, I disliked Hamilton.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m incapable of getting through an episode without crying. I was the same with Coco the other day. It’s ridiculous. |

Watched the Howard Ashman doc and the Sherman brothers doc this weekend.
Quite impressed that both of them were not nicey-nicey Disney whitewashes. They didn't brush over that Howard kept his AIDS diagnosis a secret because he was worried about getting fired or that the Sherman Brothers really don't get on at all.

It is probably the Disney film I cried the most at (and I seem to cry at loads of them)! |

Almost 74 million 'paid' subscribers now, worldwide, from a standing start just a year ago.
Still loss-making, mind, which is only to be expected at this stage of the game.
And Disney's other divisions underperformed due to CV, so it's all swings and roundabouts (but not at the parks that are still closed, obvs!).

Theres just something about going back to a happier? time of life & revisiting it. Stirs up so many memories/regrets/celebrations. Hope we get more Encore PC. |

Only Murders in the Building
Really enjoyed this rather silly, slightly tense murder mystery where 3 residents of a building setup a podcast to solve the mystery of a murder in their apartment building. One of the characters is a failed Theatre Director so there's a few fun references a theatre-fan would enjoy.

My subscription is coming up for renewal in a month and it’s a no brainer to keep it on - whereas our Netflix is on borrowed time… Enjoyed Only Murders - was going to give the Kings Man/Men films a go but having second thoughts now! But I have a massive watch list to work through anyway  Having the Disney back catalogue at our fingertips has been invaluable during lock down and a family isolation last month - my daughter is obsessed with Encanto, while my son would happily watch the Cars films on a loop if he could… The Mandalorian was great, though I wasn’t too keen on the recent Boba Fett series - hoping the upcoming Obi Wan series is better. And very much looking forward to West Side Story as I missed it at the cinema. |

I thought that Dopesick was impressive - and it led me to watch documentaries and read more widely about the criminal opioid epidemic.

To celebrate International Disney Day you can sign up for a month of Disney+ for £1.99 at the moment. Fill your boots then cancel before it renews.

The fuzzy cast of The Muppet Christmas Carol celebrated the beloved festive movie’s upcoming 30th anniversary at D23 Expo, where it was revealed that for the first time ever, the movie will be coming to Disney+ in its original uncut format featuring the long-lost song, 'When Love Is Gone.' Widely regarded as one of the best adaptations of the classic Dickens story of Ebenezer Scrooge, and it has taken a long time for the movie to be released as originally intended.
