Raya and the Last Dragon (2021). 6.5/10.

Didn't really reach the height I thought it would reach for me Judging by the high ratings some peeps gave it. Still an interesting animation.

Ratatouille (2007) ..........9.5/10

Simply magnificent.


Ain't no animation or Disney content to rival this in recent years. Not since Coco 2017 I've felt this way or an animation resonated this good. Only Klaus 2019 almost matched such feats.

True. But my guts tells me she might become a first rate actress in future especially if she moves to US/Hollywood and work hard. She just might reach that top level.

Depends. Hollywood is a vicious highly competitive world, meaning only the ones that know how to "play the game" usually succeed. An actor could be talented, charming and attractive, with a first class honours in theater arts to match, but these qualifications could add up to nothing in the end, if they are lacking in cynical ruthlessness and desperation.

I mean, it's an open secret in Hollywood that starlets get close and personal with studio head-honchos in exchange for juicy roles in movies. Margot Robbie is talented and beautiful and I respect her a lot, but she likely did a little leg spreading to get to where she is in so short a time. For these starlets, the end justifies the means, but shouldn't something be said about their emotional well-being? How are they coping when no one is around?

Good on the kid if she wanted to pursue a career in acting further down the road, but, I can't resist the urge to contemplate on whether it wouldn't be better for her mental health if she chooses a less mental exhausting vocation.

I used to think this phenomenon is more prominent in Nollywood and a very rare occurrence in Hollywood who act all sanctimonious like vices like that never happens in their world, and when they do, it's in rarity. I'm a bit surprised that it's been business as usual as these years. Naivé me!!

I think maybe it's best to continue her learning process and acting adventure in the German film industry where she was discovered and maybe move down to Hollywood when she's of certain age, by then she'd much older and mature to handle the vices in Hollywood. Thrown into such vicious at such a young age would be damaging.

Trading sex for movie roles is an age-long practice in Hollywood that's just about as old as Hollywood itself. There's a reason Hollywood is dubbed, 'The Devil's Playground'. Nollywood oloshos dey learn work for where Hollywood oloshos dey o.

If walking naked was a role she had to play in the movie, and it's in the script, I see nothing wrong there. It's either you accept the role or you turn it down.

Audition for a role which involves walking naked in the film. Other ladies who came for the audition walked naked too probably. Unless other ladies who auditioned didn't walk naked but Jennifer was made to walk naked during the audition, I fail to see how it's a sex-for-role situation.

Frozen and Up is good but I don't think they measure up to these:

Coco (2017)
Moana (2016)
Inside Out

Non Disney
Rango (2011)
The Adventures of Tintin (2011)
Kubo and The Two Strings (2016)

Have you seen Ne Zha?
OR The White Dragon?
Don't gemme wrong, Ratatouille was fvcking awsome, how about The Croods'?


Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 3:36pm On Mar 11, 2021
[quote author=Josbreed post=99797967][/quote]

Yea. I've seen Ne Zha. I suppose The White Dragon is Ne Zha's sequel— which I haven't seen. Also going by online complaints of how it pales in comparison to its original, it doesn't hold a candle to my listed movies.

The croods and it's sequel is a decent feel-good comedy Animation, not close in anyway to my aforementioned list.

Ne Zha being great honestly doesn't measure up to Coco, Inside Out, Ratatouille, Kubo or Rango. It's very good but a tad bit lacking compared to the above mentioned. It has great visuals and interesting fight scenes tho and a kinda Unique storyline.
I gave it a 9/10 when I reviewed it but tbh it still doesn't match those I mentioned.

I have my reasons to doubt this. Sex in exchange for roles: impossible.

Don't blame them.
Most Disney successful content from 2005 had the support of Steve Jobs Pixer Animation Company which I believe helped in producing amazing Cartoons.

But since the Death of Steve Jobs, well just like the Apple Company ideas, innovation plus Creativity all went down the Drain.

Take a look at Disney Movies that they kept recycling same features before Pixer Came to their Rescue.
