Moana 👏 Movie Review

            

Written by Thelonia

Disney's new animated movie Moana takes on Pacific Island origin stories in an epic tale of self-discovery and exploration that encompasses a demi-god, a debilitatingly brain-dead chicken, a lava demon, glowing green stone of MacGuffin-ness, and a teenage girl who just wants to achieve her dreams and sings her feelings while staying true to herself.

While Moana struggles with some problems that have plagued Disney movies of its ilk in the past, it still stands strong among the Disney animated fare of all time.

BoJack Horseman ☺ TV Show Review

            

Written by Tia

BoJack Horseman is a dark comedy first, and a tragedy second. Going into the show with no knowledge other than a screencap, you can expect lots of laughs because—duh—it's about a cartoon horse that used to be the star of a beloved '90s sitcom called Horsin' Around. Half the characters are non-human animals, and half the jokes are based on that fact.

But BoJack is not a show to be underestimated, skipped, or ignored, whether it's the animated part that turns you off, or the anthropomorphic animal world that gives you the anti-furry willies. This show is too clever, too unexpected, too quippy, too brilliant to not suck in even the most resistant of viewers.
