Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off

A DCOM about a boy who falls in love with cooking. It was definitely not a story I heard before and I ended up liking most of the movie.

Really, I was just annoyed with the dad. Everyone knows kids can be lame and tease each other for every little thing but the dad in this movie really bothered me when he wouldn't let his kid pursue his interests and made him feel so bad about it that he agreed to continue playing baseball for him. I am happy to say he does change his tune by the end. 

Now to make my husband watch some Food Network shows until he falls in love with cooking, too... .

Earth

Next up is a Disney Nature film called Earth. I just love these Disney Nature films!! I didn't think I would be into documentaries as much as I am finding with these ones. They are well done.

Dumbo

Can you believe that this is the first time I have ever seen this movie in its entirety? No, seriously!

This movie is a classic without princesses and one I recommend seeing!

You can find the full list here  and any movies that have been missed because of various reasons like availability are on this list here. 

There were a lot of movies that I watched alone since my boys are busy, but I still loved (almost) every minute of this challenge!

Here are my favorites of this year.

Favorite Live Action Movie: It comes down to Cinderella and Cool Runnings! I'm going to have to go with Cinderella

Favorite Animated Movie: It's between Cinderella (my childhood favorite), Cars, Bolt, and Big Hero 6. Winner is Big Hero 6. I just adore this movie and everything about it. 

Favorite Disney Channel Movie: Brink

Favorite Sequel: Cinderella 3

Least likely to ever watch again: 1 movie actually had half of a star, the lowest rating I ever gave! That means Don't Look Under the Bed, I will not be watching you ever again!

2016 was a roller coaster of a year. I know 2017 has a lot to bring in the movie world and I'm excited to get some more of these movies watched and rated! I will be switching up my layout again and seeing what works best for the challenge. Change is good!  I'm going to keep on going in alphabetical order because I love the variety it brings. 

Duck Tales: the Movie

Duck Tales was a great TV show. I loved the movie, too! (even have the updated video game!) 

This movie is entertaining. I think kids today would still like it and the show. 

Down the Long Hills

Down the Long Hills is a made for TV movie that was on ABC. It tells the story of two young little kids who have to continue on their trail West after their wagons and campgrounds are attacked.

Mostly I thought the movie was sad. The little girl doesn't realize most of the movie that her mom was killed. I was excited when I realized the boy was the same boy from Honey, I shrunk the Kids though! 

Doug's First Movie

Back in the day, when ABC had "One Saturday Morning" cartoons, they bought Doug from Nickelodeon, made him a little older in high school, and progressed his story a little. Then Nickelodeon came out with their Rugrats movies so Disney tried to do the same with Doug. 

Every early 90's kid I know loved watching Doug Funny get into shenanigans with Skeeter, Roger, Patti, Porkchop, and the gang.
