Throwback Thursday: The Emperor's New Groove

Alright, back in the nostalgic movie train for the week... I watched The Emperor's New Groove! This has always held a special place in my heart because I think it's definitely one of the funniest Disney movies if not the funniest... at least from when I was growing up, it is one of the funnier ones.

And I'm happy it held up! It wasn't the best movie ever... but its still really funny and you can see even though Kuzco seems like a big jerk that is almost unforgivable... he does have good qualities. I think the only reason he was mean to Pacha was because he really thought Pacha turned him into a llama and he didn't think Yzma or Kronk had anything to do with it.

The voice acting in this movie is also pretty unique for a Disney movie... especially back then. Its all well known actors who are known for being in comedies. Eartha Kitt voiced Yzma and she did a wonderful job! I never knew that she played Yzma! I thought that was pretty cool!

This is also one that I loved when it first came out and I saw it at the movies and got the VHS tape and watched it over and over again because my sister and I both really liked it. We had a few movies that were like our go-to movies that we'd watch over and over again and it was This, Shrek, Dr. Doolittle 2 and Monsters Inc. And we had those displayed in front of our other movies because those were our favorites.

I miss the drawn animation as opposed to the CGI stuff. I think if I were to list all of my favorite Disney movies (which I probably did or will do in the near future because thats a good one) it would probably be a lot of Pixar movies... I think overall if I had to choose Disney or Pixar... I'd choose Pixar. Monster's Inc is one of my all time favorite movies and a lot of Pixar movies are ones I find myself watching over and over again... but that doesn't mean I don't love the hand-drawn animation because I really think those are amazing too.

The Emperors New Groove probably isn't in the Top 10 list I have for Disney movies... but it probably is in the top 25 or top 30... just cause its really funny and I thought the action of it held up well too. The scene where I was kind of like "Yeah this movie is great" was when Kronk was cooking dinner and Yzma and Kuzko kept going in and out changing the order. They're so similar but so different that its just funny. No wonder they're enemies! Lol.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
