Pixar Playlist #3 - Toy Story 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, whether you like it or not, the Pixar Playlist


Well, it didn’t take long to get to the first sequel but here we are with Toy Story 2. The success of Toy Story really sparked something, and because it’s Disney and around this point in their history, if a movie made any money, it got a direct-to-DVD sequel.


The deal with Disney was at this point revised to 5 movies in 5 original franchises, so Toy Story 2 wouldn’t count towards it. Production for this film was not easy, with tight deadlines and a sudden rush for it to be theatre quality as it was changed to get a theatrical release, not to mention them nearly deleting 90% of their assets and staff members working to the point of actually getting wrist problems did put a dampener of things.

Released in 1999, the film made a respectable $497m on it’s $90m budget and is one of those rare films with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so is it worth all that praise?

Well, yes and no, but I’ll get to that.

Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Finale Review - A Fool's Hope/Family Reunion and Farewell


And so we come to the end of a journey. Back in August 2014 I started Star Wars Month, a month dedicated to Star Wars Material: movies, tv shows and cr*ppy lego shorts. Just as I did, Star Wars was preparing for its big return with the Force Awakens. But before then, a little kids’ show in Disney XD cropped up. I decided to review it, episode by episode, and whilst other shows failed to meet the standard I require to be invested, this show never dropped that far, at least not consistently. Sure the quality varied from episode to episode, I’d argue this season gave us some of the most consistent quality I’ve seen, not a single episode scoring below a 7, and I’ll tell you right now, that’s not changing with these final ones. This show had 2 purposes, the first was to the show the foundations of the Rebel Alliance, an arc that basically concluded in the last series and secondly to see a rag-tag group of rebels fighting the good fight with the end goal of liberating Lothal, and here we are, let’s take a look at the final episodes of the show. Spoilers will be covered, so here we go
