Here’s our exclusive interview with Misty Copeland on joining the cast of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Christopher Robin Movie Review

by Jennifer 65 Comments

Disney’s Christopher Robin was beyond what I expected! I will be the first one to tell you, I’m not a big Winnie the Pooh fan. While this hunny-loving bear is pretty cute, it just wasn’t something I was drawn to growing up. All of those feelings have changed after seeing the live-action Christopher Robin film. The filmmakers have transformed this nostalgic, classic tale into a real-life charming film. Christopher Robin is beautifully created and full of heart and so much laughter. Read on for my full Christopher Robin movie review!

A Wrinkle in Time Review #WrinkleInTimeEvent

A Wrinkle in Time is much more than an adventure beyond space and time. Although the kids learn what it means to tesseract, the greater message in the film is learning to accept yourself for who you are. It’s an inspiring tale where a young girl learns through her journey that she is enough, and that love is enough. This film is great for families, especially those with young girls!
