“Whatever it takes.” - Avengers: Endgame (2019) “I’ll be there.” - Captain America: Civil War (2016) “Hulk, Smash!” - The Avengers (2012) “If I’m the only one than so be it. But I’m willing to bet I’m not.” - Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) “It’s about whether he’s right.” - The Avengers: Age of Ultron Honorable Mention: “Avengers, assemble.” - Avengers: Endgame (2019) Guys.

🌎Encanto explores non-European culture in a celebratory and authentic wayThere are hints at the social unrest Columbia has experienced (Pedro and Alma having to their home because of violent conflict). But more importantly, it celebrates the diversity of the people and surroundings of an oft-overlooked, even villainized South American country. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Encanto centers its themes on the complexities of familial relationships We feel Disney is at its best when it is focusing on families.

And they cry when they are hot and tired. No, they can’t ride all the rides. And yes, it is more expensive (more people, more money).

And he is so believable it is almost too heartbreaking/awkward to watch him continually being friend-zoned. This man deserves an Oscar for creating mounds of chemistry with a pig puppet voiced by a

Psst, just so you know: For this episode, our definition of “old school Disney” is any theater-released Disney or Pixar movie released before 2000. “New school Disney” is any theater released Disney or Pixar movie released after 2000.

🕵🏼It is more of a spy/political thriller than a superhero movie (thank goodness). Captain America: Winter Soldier expands the Marvel movie genre beyond just “superhero movies.” If you like James Bond, Mission Impossible, or the Bourne movies this has a similar vibe. Captain America’s super soldier-ness comes into play, but it is not Iron Man-flying-around-the-screen in your face. If Marvel is not your vibe, this may be the one Marvel movie that is. ⛓️‍💥It brings up some thought-provoking points
