Quote: “They’ll like me for who i am, not like last time when the internet got one look at my human teeth and burned the place down.”- Ugly Sonic

Fun Facts: Controversial Star Wars Jar Jar Binks was to make a cameo but because the director couldn’t get Lucasfilm to agree with him, he puts in Ugly Sonic instead (which is the original Sonic design for Sonic the Hedgehog movie that gained a lot of hate).

Sweet Pete’s (grown up Peter Pan) backstory is close to his original voice actor Bobby Driscoll’s tragic story.

Tress MacNeille reprises her role as Gadget.

Loads of cameos! I’ll let you see them for yourself.

Summary: Decades after Rescue Rangers got canceled, Two former TV stars, Chip and Dale, must get back together to solve the mystery of their former co-star, Monterey Jack’s kidnapping.

The One Liner Review: When announced, I was unamused considering Chip n Dale were my two favorite Disney characters, but turns out, the silly Roger Rabbit like film succeeds as both a fun family film and a way to take on Hollywood business.

Summary: A sorcerer meets a teenage girl who can travel to different dimensions and together, must face evil threats.

The One Liner Review: Even with Sam Raimi trying to bring something new and visualizing to the Cinematic Universe, The anticipated flick ended up being weaker than I thought and it could use a stronger spell.

The ringtone in the movie was music from Green Hill Zone.

Most of the Knuckles’ dialogue was improvised by Idris Elba.

Jared Leto never broke character even during the bathroom breaks.

The film sets in the same universe as the Venom films.

Quote: “Who are these hip-hoppers? And why are they called ‘4-Town’ if there are five of them?”- Ming Lee

Fun Facts: Like Soul and Luca, the movie was supposed to be released in theaters, but went straight to Disney Plus.

There are some controversy between parents because the movie is a metaphor for girls getting their period.

The Pixar ball can be seen in Tyler’s pool at his party.

The book Priya is reading pays homage to the ‘Twilight’ series.

Ming refuses to let Mei go to the 4-Town concert, partly because in real life, Four sounds simular to death in chinese.

Summary: A canadian-chinese 13 year old wakes up one day to find she turns into a red panda whenever she gets excited.

The One Liner Review: With the new direction Pixar is going into, this is a great metaphor of puberty (which sounds a little weird considering it’s a family film).

Tagline: Unmask the truth

Quote: “I’m Vengeance.”- Bruce Wayne/Batman

He also auditioned in the suit worn by Val Kilmer from Batman Forever but wore a mask that was from George Clooney’s suit.

Despite the character, Penguin being a smoker, Colin Farrell wasn’t allowed to smoke in the movie.

The Riddler was inspired by a real life serial killer.

Summary: In the Gotham City the caped crusader tries to track down a notorious killer known as ‘The Riddler’

The One Liner Review: Originally, this was rated ‘Half-Full’ or ‘Empty’ for its length time, but the fresh crime story and Pattinson’s good time as a caped crusader (but not as Bruce Wayne though) is what cause the last minute rating change.
