Disney's American Legends

This is another set of short stories from Disney about a few of America's heroes. It is educational and short and easy to follow. 

I'm just not the biggest fan of the short stories I have been watching. 

Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier

Next up, Davy Crockett! I'm not going to lie, I thought he was pretty dreamy. Ending was obviously sad. I didn't like all the violence but I suppose it is pretty true to our nation's history so of course it is in there. The relationship he had with his friend was pretty funny. 

Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True

Next up is the first sequel to Cinderella, which is basically another one of those short story compilations similar to what they did for Atlantis and Cars and Beauty and the Beast in some of their sequels. 

For being such a big Cinderella fan, I wasn't impressed with this. The stories didn't flow or make much sense with the overall fairy tale. 

Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales

Next up is a few episode shorts from Pixar, mostly about Mater. If you really like Cars and love Mater, then these shorts are for you. If you cannot stand Mater and the annoying things he says and does, then skip it. 

It keeps the kid entertained but I'm OK not seeing it again. I'm more excited for Cars 3. 

Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World

This week I watched Belle's Magical World. It did not do the original story any justice.

It seemed like a couple of episodes of a failed TV show put together and turned into a movie, like the Atlantis 2 we watched. I don't think it did the original story any favors and they could have done so much more with a sequel. I think this was made during that weird Disney time when they just kept throwing out random sequels to movies in an attempt to make some money. Anyway, this movie is miss-able. 

Atlantis: Milo's Return

I think they meant to make a TV series out of this, but instead put three episodes into a sequel and moved on and away from Atlantis after it didn't do well in the box office. 

If these stories were part of a TV series, we might watch it. But it was a randomly pieced sequel that didn't make much sense to the story overall. I found it hard to follow. Not much else to say about it!

We took inspiration by going on our own little adventure into the woods to take some pictures of the Halloween costume we have picked out this year. The kid also dressed up as Harry Potter and a Ghostbuster for some parades in the area.
