Ranking Pixar Movies by Era
Alright y'all we have completed ranking Disney movies so I am moving on to Pixar. Most animation fans would agree that Pixar movies are the best of what Disney has to offer. Now Pixar movies aren’t really broken into eras like straight up Disney films are so I am going to break them into eras because I really do think that in each era you can see and feel a trend in these films and how they are broken up. My eras are going to be broken up by what feelings, or intentions I think each collection of movies give off. Also Pixar has really never stopped releasing films. Its largest gap in production was in between Toy Story and A Bug’s Life and that was a period of 3 years. Since then Pixar has steadily released films every year or every other year, even during COVID. So there was no logical time period to break these movies into.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
The Revival Era of Disney includes all of the more current or modern Disney movies, though a clear era post these films has not been defined I’m going to keep clumping them in with this one. However for the purposes of this list we will only be talking about the 6 films that fall into this specific era. Much like the eras before it the ranking is kind of arbitrary, there are no bad movies only less good.

Bottoms - A Movie Review
We have to learn to defend ourselves if we want to fight back. After winning a fight, Bottoms aired in theaters in 2023. Two queer unpopular high school best friends, Josie and PJ, start a fight club in their school. Their original plan was to hook up with cheerleaders, but the club has more of a positive influence than they predicted.

And Just Like That
Season 1 of And Just Like That was fine…it definitely still felt like Sex and the City. But I love mediocre drama so here we go with the second season of the revival. The new characters they introduced last season are still in play. Though they are good characters it feels like they are trying so hard to replace Samantha.

The Curious Origin of Paparazzi and Its Lasting Effect on Pop Culture
We’ve all seen them—those sneaky, often intrusive photographers who seem to pop up out of nowhere to capture candid moments of our favourite celebrities. But where did the term “paparazzi” come from, and how did they become such a ubiquitous part of pop culture?

Coherence - A Movie Review
Nothing strange like this happened the last time we got together. Released in 2013, Coherence is about a group of friends who gather for a dinner party on the same night a comet passes by Earth. Interrupting their evening, strange occurrences happen, such as power outages and mysterious objects appearing. With tensions rising, they realize they may be in a parallel universe.

And Just Like That...
So when I found out Sex and the City was getting a revival, I binge watched the entire original series and the movies. Just to pick up the first episode, hate everything and stop watching it. But I was home sick today so I decided to try again so here I go, with the first season of Just Like That, the Sex and the City revival.

Most Heartbreaking Kids Movies
So the genre of children’s movies or kids movies is vast and there are many entries to it. Some are musical and fun, some are about nothing, some thrive off of cheap jokes and take no thought process to watch at all. But sometimes, very occasionally there is an entrance into the kids movie genre that is heavy and quite emotional. Now these are arguably the best kids movies, the ones that teach something and cause everyone that watches them (not just kiddos) to have a strong emotional reaction. This can be said for very few kids movies but we are going to list out the most emotional and sometimes heartbreaking movies for kids.
