Non-Spoiler Review for Ralph Breaks The Internet - A Worthy Sequel That You Will Want To See Over and Over Again


Ralph Breaks The Internet begins six years after the first one. We find Ralph completely content with his life, while Vanellope has grown bored with her game and yearns for more. Ralph has great intentions to help his friend but disaster strikes and her game is taken down due to a broken part. This is where the internet comes into play as both Ralph and Vanellope try to find a replacement part.


The film will appeal to kids, who have grown up all their lives with the internet and to older adults who can understand the struggle both Ralph and Vanellope face in this brave new world of the internet. We see so many different worlds within the internet from online shopping, to online gaming, to social media and even shades of the dark web.


Set between the humor and the fun visuals, the heart of the story is the relationship between Ralph and Vanellope. The ideas of selfishness, insecurities and what happens to friendships over the years all come in to play. These ideas are all powerful ones that we can all relate to in both positive and negative ways.


Then we get the much talked about Disney princess sequence with Vanellope. This scene shown to us at the D23 Expo last year brought the house down. One of the funniest sequences ever created still lives up to it's billing over a year after I first saw it. And yes, while the scene is Disney showing off, it does set up the rest of the movie.

Hopefully you have avoided anyone spoiling any of the movie for you. I hope that you avoid anyone spoiling the tag in the end credits as well as the sequence after the credits have played. There is also a musical sequence in the film that shows that this is really a princess movie.

Despite some of it's clunkiness, the movie is even more well-crafted than the first and the story arcs of both Ralph and Vanellope pay off in deep and meaningful ways. It's overriding message of friendship may leave you in tears and thinking of friends who have come and gone in your own life.

Fall Dapper Day 2018 at Disneyland: My Favorite Dapper Bounds


One of my favorite things to do at Dapper Day is to see what everyone else is wearing! Here are some of my favorite Dapper Bounds from Fall Dapper Day 2018! Since I went as Dapper Spider-Man it should come as no surprise that I mostly took photos with other Dapper folks in Marvel-ous Bounds!

We start first with my lovely friends the Cosplay Parents who went as both Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse for his 90th Birthday this year!


The first Marvel Dapper Bound I encountered was this fantastic Captain Marvel! Look for Captain Marvel in theaters March 2019!


Ran into my lovely friend Sara and her boyfriend who were Dapper Bounding as that super adorable couple from the Disney animated short Paperman.


I had to stop and take a photo with this amazing Marvel-ous family! You have Spider-Man on the left, then Black Panther, then probably the cutest Thanos ever and then Captain America!

Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus.

Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

"TOY STORY 4" TEASER TRAILER REACTION FEATURES VOICES OF KEY & PEELE


Woody’s journey in “Toy Story 4” includes a visit to a carnival where he meets Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes who are eager to be won. But when their plans are rudely interrupted by Woody and his friends, they find themselves on an unexpected adventure with a group of toys who have no idea what it feels like to be tacked to a prize wall.

“Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, who voice Ducky and Bunny, are two of the most brilliant minds I’ve ever seen,” said director Josh Cooley. “Of course, they are effortlessly funny, which would be enough. But they are incredible actors that understand story. Their improvs weren’t just for comedy sake, they were story motivated which elevated Ducky and Bunny and the film to a level I never could have expected.”

"Back to Cherry Tree Lane" Featurette | Mary Poppins Returns

Dapper Spider-Man Suited Up By OppoSuits Swings Into Fall Dapper Day 2018


As many of you know, Dapper Day is one of my favorite events at The Disneyland Resort. It happens twice a year, one in Spring and the other in Fall.

What is Dapper Day? Dapper Day was created to celebrate the tradition of stepping out in style. When people would put on their Sunday best and head outside! 

Over the years Dapper Day has not only welcomed those that dress Dapper but people who have been combining Disney Bounding, which one wears colors and accessories to emulate Disney characters without perfectly recreating their costumes which would be considered cosplay, with Dapper and creating what is called Dapper Bounding. I am a huge fan of Dapper Bounding and always thinking of what character in the Disney Universe to create in a Dapper Bounding style.

So, let's follow the adventures of Dapper Spider-Man in this amazing suit by OppoSuits! The fedora came from Amazon and the umbrella was hand painted by my friend Samantha!

Many of you are already familiar with the origins of Spider-Man. Peter Parker was bit by a radiaoactive spider and soon Peter began to notice he possessed new powers.


Dapper Spider-Man on the other hand was given great power the moment he donned the OppoSuits Spider-Man Suit!


But Dapper Spider-Man also knew that with great power came great responsibility. His hero Walt Disney knew this and created a magical world for people from around the world to enjoy.


Tony Stark then recruited Dapper Spider-Man to provide him with greater opportunities to his powers for good!

"TOY STORY 4" TEASER TRAILER AND TEASER POSTER


Woody and the rest of the toys are back for an all-new adventure in “Toy Story 4,” welcoming new friends to Bonnie’s room, including a reluctant new toy called Forky. “Like most people, I assumed that ‘Toy Story 3’ was the end of the story,” said director Josh Cooley. “And it was the end of Woody’s story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning. Woody now being in a new room, with new toys, and a new kid, was something we have never seen before. The questions of what that would be like became the beginning of an entertaining story worth exploring.”

A teaser trailer slated to debut with “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” in theaters Nov. 21, is available today.



But Forky insists that he is NOT a toy! An actual spork-turned-craft-project, Forky is pretty sure that he doesn’t belong in Bonnie’s room. Unfortunately, every time he tries to get away, someone yanks him back into an adventure he’d rather skip. “The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose,” said Cooley. “A toy’s purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he’s facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him.”

Filmmakers called on comedian Tony Hale to provide the voice of Forky. “It’s a huge thrill to be part of the Toy Story family,” he said. “But it’s going to take a while for it to really sink in.”

Said Cooley, “When we thought up this character, Tony was the first actor that came to mind and I’m thrilled he accepted. Tony’s performance as Forky is a comedy salad of confidence, confusion, and empathy... served by hilarious spork.”

How were filmmakers able to convince Hale to give voice to Forky? “A utensil’s existential crisis?” he asked. “I’m in!”

Vehicle Review: 2018 Mazda6 Signature - Fall Dapper Day at Disneyland


The 2018 Mazda6 Signature takes the midsize sedan market and completely redefines it. While the Mazda6 should be compared with the Toyota Camry or the Honda Accord, we could easily compare it with the Audi A4 or the Acura TLX. While the Audi or the Acura will never compare itself to the Mazda6, a similar equipped Acura TLX would cost about $5,000 more and a comparable Audi A4 would cost around $50,000.

The Mazda6 2.5-liter turbocharged engine never works that hard to provide all the power one needs. It has 310 lb-ft of torque and yet still offers great fuel economy. The Mazda6 26 MPG combined actually came in higher during my review period at 30 MPG.



The interior is comparable to both the Acura and the Audi. The rich Napa leather seats are both heated and cooled. The Signature edition also has a heated steering wheel. The remote interface controls for the infotainment system are very similar to the Audi's.


The infotainment screen is large and I love the overhead view of the vehicle.


The Mazda6 Signature was the perfect vehicle to attend Fall Dapper Day at Disneyland. Dapper Day is held twice a year and started as a way to celebrate when people went out in their Sunday best attire. Over the years it has grown to represent any time period of "Best Dressed" and includes Dapper Bounding, which combines Dapper attire with colors and accessories to emulate characters in the Disney Universe. This Dapper Day I went as the one and only Spider-Man in an amazing suit from OppoSuits.


The trunk space is massive. There is a full spare tire and a larger trunk space than the Audi A4. The trunk space might be needed for all the bad guys I catch.


One of my favorite things about Dapper Day is meeting friends such as Steven and Millie otherwise known as the CosPlayParents. Here they are as Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse in honor of Mickey's 90th birthday.


And making new friends is another great part about Dapper Day!


The sleek looks of the Mazda6 were equaled by its handling. Steering was very responsive and the vehicle gripped the road. Large adaptive LED headlights are something not usually found at this price point. Tony Stark would approve of this vehicle to take care of his protege Peter Parker.


Speaking of Mr. Stark, it looks like he has bought some land in Disney California Adventure. I wonder what Marvel-ous plans he has?


Even the real Spider-Man was impressed with my suit.


The Mazda6 Signature is a premium sedan in every sense of the word. Coming in at $36,140, the great looks and performance at a great price point move this to the head of the mainstream midsized sedan class.

Superhero approved!

Blu-Ray Review: Incredibles 2


It's been 14 years since Director Brad Bird introduced us to his family of superheroes and since then we have become surrounded by superheroes from various studios.

The movie opens literally right after the original ends. We see our heroes, the Parr family take on The Underminer! And just like that we thrown into the action!

As we know from the first film, superheroes are illegal but enter a tycoon Winston Deavor who wants to see superheroes legal again. Helen is chosen to lead the campaign to bring superheroes back while Bob is left to take care of the household.

What follows is an engaging story full of heart and family. While we have waited 14 years for this sequel, Incredibles 2 easily ranks as not only one of Pixar's best movies, but one of the best superhero movies ever! The movie not only lives up to the hype of the original but surpasses it in several ways. For one, the humor level far exceeds that of the original. Jack Jack and Edna Mode easily steal the show. Second, the action is far more intense with bigger stakes. With the main characters all established, the action scenes will leave you on the edge of your seat. Third, there is a lot more depth to the overall story. They explore the superhero genre in ways that not even Marvel has yet to explore.

Pixar crafts one of the best films, animated or otherwise of the year and can only be summed up in one word, incredible!


Video:

Once again Disney shows why they are the best at blu-ray transfers. The video is once again top-notch! The colors are vibrant and every detail and texture on the fabrics, to skin tones, to the cityscapes, to the water effects, everything is a rainbow of color! Another outstanding effort from Disney!

Review of Disney's The Nutcracker and The Four Realms



After endless film, as well as stage adaptations, in this version of The Nutcracker and The Four Realms, Disney reworks the tale to breath new life into it. The most beloved chapter of The Nutcracker is the ballet and in one of the films most charming moments, the ballet is woven masterfully into the story.


Our heroine is Clara (Mackenzie Foy) who has just lost her mother and is grieving over her loss. At the Christmas Eve party thrown by her Godfather Drosselmeyer (Morgan Freeman), Clara was gifted a special metal egg from her late mother. The egg requires a key to open it and our adventure begins.

Clara is thrust into the Four Realms, a Narnia-like world, where three of the realms are at war with the fourth realm, the mysterious Land of Amusement led by Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren).


Along the way, Clara meets a nutcracker named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight) who brings her to the regents of the other three realms. These regents believe that Clara will be the key to ending the war and putting a stop to Mother Ginger.

Mackenzie Foy brings the perfect balance of innocence and emotional complexity to Clara. Helen Mirren brings a wonderful sass to her role as Mother Ginger but Keira Knightly as Sugar Plum owns this movie. She brings a sugary sweetness to her emotional stance on what has happened to the Four Realms and where it should head into the future.

In the end this is a film about good vs. evil and about believing in yourself. These are all valuable teaching lessons to your children in a time where we are starting to lose faith in one another.
