Gravity Falls Season 1 Episode 1

     "Tourist Trapped" is a great first episode and I love it. 

     The visuals are great, especially the opening sequence, which is amazing, and the soundtrack is also great. Love the music in this one.

    But it's the characters and humor in this show that shine even more and are so likable and funny. I especially love the twins, Dipper and Mabel, and their sweet sibling relationship, and Grunkle Stan is hilarious and oddly charming despite his rough-around-the-edges conman shtick. 

    The antagonists of this episode are the gnomes. On the surface, they seem more silly and comedic than truly scary but they are actually super sus and creepy little guys.

    As far as family-friendly, I feel that it's more geared to a pre-teen audience, as it's largely an innocent series, as I recall, but it is pretty frightening in bits for a kids' show. Usually not too scary though.

    I love this show and this first episode is great. I think it's S tier, 10 out of 10.

Disney's Lady and the Tramp Review

     This beautiful and charming film,  Lady and the Tramp, is yet another absolute masterpiece.     In my opinion this might be the best dog-centric animated film of all time and is an amazingly fun and endearing time with charming characters especially the leads, the adorable and sweet Lady and the rambunctious yet good-hearted Tramp.      The spaghetti/ Bella Nota segment deserves special mention as it's absolutely iconic and heartwarming.       It is mostly family-friendly but there is a scene that briefly implies the death of a dog in the pound as one of the characters says the dog "is taking the long walk" which might be too upsetting to tender-hearted young children.       Overall,  this is one of Disney's most adorable,  heartwarming,  and frankly best films so far and another 10 out of 10.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Review

       Disney's original animated film Snow White is a stunning masterpiece, whimsical and fun, but with its share of darker moments. It is a timeless classic that is as enjoyable today as it was in 1937 when it first released in theaters. The dwarves are fun and funny and oozing with music and charm. Snow White is charming, sweet, and wholesome. It is movie for all ages young and old. I would give it 10 out of 10.

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame review

      Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the darkest, most emotional and heartfelt films they ever made and its an absolute masterpiece and in my opinion one of their very best.      As one would expect by now its obviously top notch both in the quality of its visuals and even more so in its soundtrack,  which is amazing and rivals Lion King and Beauty and the Beast in its sheer awesomeness.      But beyond that its a bittersweet and emotional drama with great characters. The earnest and kind-hearted Quasimodo is extremely loveable and this makes the audience even more sympathetic to his plight.     Esmerelda is such a bold, confident, and extraordinarily sweet woman and perhaps one of my favorite leading ladies in a Disney film.       Phoebus, the noble captain of the guard, is actually one of the funniest characters on the film with his dry sense of humor.      The gargoyles are funny and cha...
