A Pixar movie is an event. Some of the greatest animated movies ever made were from this company. The Toy Story movies , The Incredibles movies , Inside Out , and Coco just to name a few . The latest is a movie that deals with wizards, magic, and family dynamics. Onward is the latest iteration of Pixar's tried and true formula.

At San Diego Comic Con this year, Marvel announced their Phase 4 slate. The Infinity Saga ended with Avengers: Endgame , and Phase 3 ended with Spider-Man: Far From Home . So let's talk about what the future holds for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Lion King is very special to a lot of people. So the concept of a hyper-realistic CGI remake had people talking. Let's get this out of the way though: Regardless of what you think of this one it doesn't "ruin" the original. The 1994 classic will always stand on its own in a bubble, regardless of what comes after. The sub-par sequels didn't tarnish that film. Neither should this.

It is very rare to see a fully realized trilogy that ends as close to perfect as can be. Toy Story did that with the beautiful, poignant, and emotional Toy Story 3 . So it was natural to be skeptical about Toy Story 4 's existence. Luckily, most of the fears were unwarranted. Toy Story 4 is a beautiful and worthy entry into the franchise.

Another Disney live action remake of one of their animated classics was released this month in the form of Aladdin . While I had my reservations about Guy Ritchie’s live action version, for the most part it was a perfectly entertaining crowd pleaser that did exactly what it was supposed to.

Sequels are a tough business, and while a sequel to Wreck It Ralph felt inevitable due to the success of the first one, there was no word on it for some time. But then it happened, and Ralph Breaks The Internet became a great addition to the franchise. There will be spoilers from here on out.

Disney has been on a role with their live action remakes of their animated classics. The latest is Christopher Robin which is essentially Hook with Winnie the Pooh instead of Peter Pan. The first two acts of the movie work incredibly well, then it loses its balance in the third act shift only to regain composure shortly thereafter. There will be a few spoilers throughout this review.

Pixar has been on a role recently (not counting Cars 3 ) and they finally released the only sequel they ever should have made - Incredibles 2 . Pixar sequels have been more miss than hit, so I was nervous going into this. Luckily, Incredibles 2 is very good. Continue reading below to see more detailed thoughts. There will be some spoilers for the movie within.

Pixar has been the quintessential player in the animation game since 1995. Toy Story broke the mold - it was a children's story that didn't have to dumb things down. It spoke to all ages, and didn't have to resort to nothing but fart jokes to get kids to laugh. Pixar's newest venture, Coco , gets back to Pixar's basics and shows what the brand can be when they aren't trying to sell toys through their Cars franchise. Continue reading to see my thoughts on Coco . There will be minor spoilers throughout.
