Oh how I love the Movies...

First of all (speaking of movies) I want to congratulate Big Hero 6 on winning an Oscar along with it's short-film, Feast! So exciting for Disney and, I swear, I was biting my nails watching the Oscars, waiting for this moment. When they announced that Big Hero 6 and Feast won for Best Animated Film and Best Animated Short Film, I nearly jumped off the couch screaming for joy.

My reaction to Big Hero 6 winning an Oscar

Now, onto the real reason for this post: Movies (soon to come and that I am excited about) in Theaters!!

FRIDAY MARCH 13th

FROZEN FEVER (to play before Cinderella)

A 7-minute short film to be played before Cinderella (more to come about that). Elsa is throwing a surprise birthday party for Anna. All of your favorite characters are back including Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, and even Oaken (from Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna)! We see Anna and Elsa riding their bikes through the halls (and getting a wardrobe change), Olaf taking a bite out of Anna's cake, and Kristoff hanging a super-cute sign that (we can only assume) he made himself!

I mean, look how proud he is of it! *squeals*
 You can watch the trailer below, and honestly, this is probably half of the reason I'm going to see Cinderella!


CINDERELLA (to play after Frozen Fever [see above])

This film is a nearly 2-hour live-action adaptation of the classic tale we all know and love. Ella (nicknamed "Cinder" Ella) is a maid in her stepmother's household. The basic plot is the tale we all know, however there are a few twists and turns along the way. I can't wait to go see this movie! In fact, I think I am going to see the midnight premiere! *squee* 


Cinderella is played by Lily James (who some may know from the popular TV show Downton Abbey) with Lady Tremaine played by Cate Blanchett who we all know and love from several movies, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy. I am really pumped for this movie, guys! You can watch the trailer below:

 

  FRIDAY MARCH 20th

INSURGENT (sequel to Divergent)


This sequel to Divergent is... well, let's just say I don't have too high of hopes.

I am a Divergent fan, don't get me wrong. I love the books, and the first movie was fantastic. However, based on the Insurgent trailer quality, I am very doubtful of the quality of the movie. They brought the same actors back to play the characters: Shailene Woodley, Theo JamesAnsel Elgort, and so on. However, the special effects appear to be very lacking. It, honestly looks kind of low-budget.

Tris is now Spider-Man...
 I will probably end up seeing the movie, anyways (because I'm such a Divergent fan). But I do not have high hopes. Here's the trailer:


FRIDAY MAY 1st


THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (sequel to The Avengers)


I am not SUPER excited about this movie... I just decided to include it because I figured Elly probably is. I'm not a super huge... "superhero fanatic" you could say. I've seen some movies. I love the Thor movies, some of the Iron Man ones, and I enjoy watching them, but I'm not really emotionally invested in them.

Anyways, here's the trailer, if you want to see it:


FRIDAY MAY 22nd

TOMORROWLAND

I am actually very curious about this movie. As with many Disney movies, the trailer doesn't do a lot to show us the plot or premise of the movie, but they show us enough to get us interested. I am very interested in this movie. I mean, it's a Disney movie, so it has to be good. All I really know is that there's a pin, and if you touch said pin, you get transported (through time? space?) to Tomorrowland.

  

Britt Robertson plays the main character, Casey Newton, accompanied by George Clooney playing Frank Walker. I've never heard of Britt Robertson before, so I am intrigued to see how she does in the movie. 

Here's the trailer for Tomorrowland:


Well, that's all for now! I am pretty excited for this spring, there are some good movies hitting theaters soon!
