Disney’s Bad Straight-to-Video Sequels: The Return of Jafar
Here we go again with another bad straight-to-video Disney sequel! I’ll start of by saying that this film sets up the plot for the Aladdin animated series that followed. Something that I am pretty sure I remember watching as a kid, but have no memory of what it was like. I’ll have to look into…

Time for another Happy Poke-Meal!
It is that time of the year again (well it doesn’t happen every year but its pretty regular these days) when I venture out to a MaccyD’s because they are bribing us with free Pokemon cards. Well, kind of free as you have to purchase a ‘kids’ Happy Meal. Before we go on, I just…

Disney’s Bad Straight-to-Video Sequels: Starting with Mulan 2

Byker Grove is Returning… But Did You Ever See The Finale?
Its been confirmed that the iconic TV show Byker Grove is returning. Its been off our screens for nearly 20 years but I do feel like it’s one of those shows that could return at anytime. However, I hadn’t seen any of the episodes into the 2000’s as far as I remember. And I have…
