Throwback Thursday: Meet The Robinson's

Alright this was a really cute movie. It came out in 2007... and I wasn't super into the way it looked back then... but my cousins told me it was good and I just kind of want to see every Disney animated movie... so this was on my list... especially since it is on Netflix right now.

And I do have to say... as an adult this is a very childish movie and there isn't a ton of jokes in there for adults to find amusing and entertaining. This isn't something I usually say as a critique... cause usually I do end up enjoying the movies anyway and this really wasn't meant for the parents to enjoy... it is for the kids. I did still find this funny and enjoyable but just know that this is a movie for little kids... and I feel like it might be easy for adults to fall asleep in the middle of it because it isn't the most interesting. 

That being said though... I really loved this movie. The message about "Keep Moving Forward" was very sweet and it was an incredibly heartwarming movie. 

The movie is about a boy named Lewis that is good at science. A boy named Wilbur from the future brings him 30 years in the future for mysterious reasons because he needs Lewis to help get the other time machine from an evil "Bowler Hat Guy." And I don't want to give much more of the plot away but Lewis feels very welcome in the Robinson family... and they give him the courage to save the future. 

I thought the message of the movie was really sweet, because it shows never give up on yourself. You can do great things and have a great future- if you chose to... and it's just a really sweet movie. 

Some fun facts about this movie... it's the first movie from Walt Disney Animation Studios... "What? This came out in 2007? How is it the first?" Disney re-branded itself as Walt Disney Animation Studios to differentiate itself from Pixar- which Disney had ended their negotiation with. So this was the first Disney Movie to have the logo with Steamboat Willie before the movie. And the first Disney Animated Movie with the new Computer Animated Logo featured in Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Man's Chest. Plus this and Chicken Little are the only G rated Computer animated Disney movies... not sure if that is still true... I feel like it isn't but that is interesting. 

Slight Sidetrack: I remember as a kid when movies that were clearly kids movies would come out and they would say "This Film is Not Yet Rated" I would always get really scared that they would be rated r and I wouldn't be able to see them... lol. Can you imagine- R- Rated Monster's Inc. Lol. 

So that is everything. I would recommend checking this movie out... there are also a lot of references to Walt Disney Himself and Tomorrowland from the theme parks... so if you're a fan of the theme parks and Walt... this is a good one to watch! 

Byee!

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...

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...
