Live Action Aladdin reaction

So Disney have decided to make another live action remake of a 90s classic, this time in the form of Aladdin. I love Aladdin it’s my favourite Disney film so for it to be made into live action it’s an exciting prospect, however when they announced Guy Ritchie as director that was questionable as yes he is an amazing director, he’s never directed a film in the same ilk as Aladdin. Next announcement we got was Will Smith as Genie, which is a very daunting prospect but fair play to him taking on this role, I’m intrigued to see how this plays out. For a while this was all the information we knew. Now we have a whole cast announced who are relatively unknown which I think is a good thing because it means they can make the characters their own and use this amazing opportunity as a good thing. We have Mena Massoud playing Aladdin and Naomi Scott playing Princess Jasmine, I cannot wait to see what twist they bring to the characters. In October we had a teaser trailer drop out of nowhere...

Review: Heathers the Musical

On the 20th October I finally saw Heathers the Musical at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London. After an amazing sell out run at The Other Palace back in September Heathers made the big West End transfer to the Haymarket for a strict 12 week run and they haven’t looked back.  September 1st 1989 and Veronica Sawyer is starting her senior year of high school. All she wants is to get through unscathed and for people to leave her alone. She ends up helping out the it girls of the school called the Heathers, made up of Heather Chandler who is the leader of the group, Heather Duke and Heather McNamara. Due to these actions she is taken in by the Heathers and this is the ideal situation because it means everyone will leave her alone. However, the Heathers are not nice people and Veronica gets sucked into this. Then she meets the mysterious JD who convinces her to get back at the bad people around her and takes drastic actions, which opens a whole can of worms that gets progressive...

Until the Last Star Fades by Jacquelyn Middleton

About a month ago Jacquelyn ran a competition in her private Facebook group for her books, where if you said which character from her other books London Belongs to Me and London Can You Wait?, you wanted as a friend and why then you won an arc copy of her new book Until the Last Star Fades. So, I entered and won a copy for my Kindle, I was so excited to read this as I love her other two books and have reviewed them on here and also was one of my books I'm looking forward to in 2018. Synposis: COULD YOU BE THE ONE WHO CHANGES EVERYTHING? In her senior year at NYU, Riley Hope appears to be on top of the world. With a loving mother who makes Lorelai Gilmore look like a parenting slacker, ride-or-die friends, and a long-time boyfriend destined for the National Hockey League, she puts on a smile for the world. But behind it, she’s drowning. Racked with fears for the future, she battles to stay afloat amid life in the shadows of a heartbreaking illness. And then, Ben...

One Year of Disney x Pandora

Hello I know it has been a while since I last did a post but life took over I went on holiday and work has been crazy but I'm back with a new post talking about two of my favourite things and that is Disney and Pandora. This post is in honor of Disney x Pandora collaboration being released one year ago on October 5th.   When it was announced that Disney x Pandora was being released in the UK it was like all my Christmas' had come at once as I previously mentioned I love both of the brands. It has come so far in over a year and is just going from strength to strength in my opinion.   So on October 5th last year I went to my local Pandora and treated myself to what they had relased originally. They first released some Mickey and Minnie charms which were the perfect starter, there was the Cinderella collection and Beauty and the Beast, as well as the petite charms you put in the floating lockets, also was a Mickey Mouse bracelet and Beauty and the Beast ban...

Book Recommendations for Disney Fans

Me and the lovely Hannah from Courage and Kindness have teamed up to bring you our book recommendations for Disney lovers. I have chosen books that have a magical element to them and that I have enjoyed. So, without further or do here are the four books I have chosen to share. The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer This book is about a set of twins called Connor and Alex who discover that a book their grandmother has given them is a magic book that takes them to a place called The Land of Stories. We follow the story of them finding a way to get home and along the way they meet all our favourite fairytale characters such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and many more. Along the way the twins find out that they are connected to this land a lot more closely than they thought. I love these books because they are so well thought out and to see all these amazingly magical fairytales come together in one book is magical. This is also a series of...

European Premiere of Christopher Robin

On Sunday, I was very lucky to attend the European premiere of Christopher Robin at the BFI Southbank in London. I got this chance after I won a competition through the Walt Disney Studios Facebook page after answering a question right and from that I won four tickets for the premiere.  What a day this was, I could collect my ticket from 4pm, so we had a wonder around London first and visited various places such as the Disney Store, Toms and Spectrum Beauty who recently opened on Carnaby Street. We walked slowly over the Thames to Southbank and ate our lunch in the National Theatre and walked out to what we discovered was the behind of the premiere. We checked out what was happening and they were letting people in to go behind the barriers. Unfortunately, they were sticking to their 4pm ticket collection which was fine. So, we went back and collected the tickets which were so cute they had Tigger on the back. We waited for about 15 minutes before they moved us in, ...
