  • Puss in Boots: The Last Wish If you want to smile and feel jaunty, this is for you
    As this is my last day in the UK with Rob, our RunPee correspondent over there, and I was excited to see a relaxing, soothing movie with himself and Alice (his cute granddaughter). I was thrilled with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. After a stream of somewhat disappointing movies over ...

  • Pixar Feature Films
    What is it about Pixar? I mean, we all love cartoons. We’ve all loved them from the days before we knew they were actually cartoons and not just a different part of reality. Kids loving cartoons is a given. Then, when we get older, there are cartoons specially made for ...
  • Rewatch Review – Toy Story 2
    A couple of years later and along comes the inevitable sequel. But was Toy Story 2 so unavoidable? To be honest, there seemed to be some doubts amongst the powers that be at Disney. Initial plans were that Toy Story 2 was to be a straight to VHS release…it was ...

  • Breaking Down Love, Death & Robots episode by episode

  • MCU Disney+ Review – What If…?

  • Movie Review – Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania
    A solid B movie in terms of animation values, high-quality celebrity voices, low-key warm humor, and a fun direction the plot spins off into. It’s damn hard to get a franchise right in every iteration, but somehow the under-the-radar work in the Hotel Translyvania oeuvre manages to make a good little story ...
  • Non-Christmas Christmas Films: Home Alone 2 – Lost in New York (1992)
    It’s another Christmas, a year later, and young Kevin is lost again. I’m not sure if there’s some intensely bad parenting involved, or if the kid just attracts trouble, but so it goes. It’s basically Die Hard 2, with a ten-year-old, and everyone in-universe pretty much knows it. “Not again” is ...
  • Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)

  • Movie Review – Ron’s Gone Wrong

  • Top 5 Songs from the movie Sing 1 (2016)
    It’s no secret I have a guilty fondness for the original Sing movie (2016). In fact, I set my Alexa to wake me up with the chipper, highly singable tunes I play imaginary karaoke to in the privacy of my shower. The movie narrative itself is charming and upbeat, with ...
  • Movie Review – The Boss Baby: Family Business
    The Boss Baby: Family Business is, as you probably expected, meant for young children. There’s enough wild antics to appeal to pre-schoolers and two, simple to follow, plots. One about brotherhood. The other about self-confidence. Both of which are good lessons for pre-teens. This is far from Pixar-good, but it’s not ...

    The Acorn People is a very short, deeply memorable book everyone should read.

Disabled and dying children, but still important. Modern ...
