Mulan II


Let me tell you something I hate about fanfiction and continuations- the trope known as Pair the Spares. Basically, EVERYONE in canon needs to be paired up, no ands, ifs, or buts. This irritates me for two reasons- 1. It implies that no one can be happy single and 2. It's the reason we have suck squicky parings in the Final Fantasy fandom (I'm looking at YOU, YuffieVincent and RikkuAuron.).

What does this have to do with today's sequel? Don the clothes of your opposite gender and find out with me as we review Mulan II.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West


As many of my generation, I share a certain fondness when I think of the name Don Bluth and the movies he directed in the '80s. The sequels based on his works, however, shattered all of the magic and wonder from his worlds into the smallest of pieces. Herein lies the question- could a sequel to a Don Bluth movie ever be considered good?

It's time to brush up on your best Clint Eastwood impression as we embark on a Texas-sized adventure in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
