Aladdin Soundtrack Reaction

It's out it's finally here, Live Action Aladdin is finally in cinemas after a wait that seems to be have been forever. Alongside the cinematic release we have also been graced with the release of the soundtrack, now I was worried about the music but it's a lot better than I anticipated. So I thought I'd share my reaction to the songs with you, note that this is just through listening to the music not watching it in context with the film. I have seen the film and loved it but that's a separate post.   Arabian Nights- Will Smith Pic Credit: Spotify This was a pleasant surprise, I loved the stripped back beginning that intensifies throughout the song. Also, there's a little instrumental near the middle that's taken from the original Arabian Nights which I loved and nearly cried as well. There's some little lyric changes which work perfectly fine. I also like the added bit from the Cave of Wonders it adds an intensity to the song. Will Smith's sin...

Ultimate Live Action Aladdin Shop Guide

We are ONE day away from the cinematic release of Disney's Live Action Aladdin in the UK and it's no secret that I am beyond excited for this film. So I thought I'd put together a shopping guide of my favourite pieces of merchandise from a wide variety of shops.

I have picked out a few of my favourites but you have everything from dressing up costumes for children, stationary, jewellery, accessories, toys and clothing for adults as well.

They look really pretty. I love stationary and I really like the pack of 6 pencils that are purple and ...

West End Does: Magic of Animation 2

On Sunday 5th May the lovely Rob Houchen's West End Does company celebrated their one year anniversary by hosting West End Does: Magic of Animation 2 at Cadogen Hall nearly a year to the day after they opened with West End Does: Magic of Animation at the same venue last year. I loved last year's concert so I was in no doubt as soon as this was announced that they were going to do another version this year I just had to go. This year's line up included some old favourites from last year in the forms of Carrie Hope Fletcher (Heathers, Les Mis), Celinde Schoenmaker (Phantom, Les Mis) and Bradley Jaden (Wicked, Les Mis). Scott Paige (Eugenius) and Dan Buckley (Eugenius) were the co-hosts for the night and they were so funny as they don't take themselves too seriously and play up to the audience it's just so much fun. Joining them were Laura Baldwin (Waitress, Eugenius), Rachel John (Hamilton), Jenny O'Leary (Heathers) and John Ellis (Phantom), as well as Rob Houc...
