Dog’s Movie House: “The Little Mermaid” Live Action Remake Is Halle Bailey’s Coming Out Party!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the latest Walt Disney live action “remake!” This one is a new version of the 1989 classic “The Little Mermaid.” The 1989 film is an important landmark for Disney Animatin as it marked the beginning of their rennaisance after suffering sub-par results for the better part of two decades. “The Little Mermaid” is one of those redos that manages to honor the original while adding enough original stuff to it to make the film a thoroughly enthralling experience!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the third and final (maybe) entry into the popular “Guardians Of The Galaxy” series. SImply called “Vol. 3” this film reunites the primary cast and introduces some interesting new characters. Writer/director James Gunn’s final entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an incredibly entertaining film that tugs on the heartstrings like very few comic book movies do.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Disney’s latest live-action version of one of their beloved animated classics. This time it’s Peter Pan getting the treatment in a film streaming exclusively on Disney Plus. It’s called Peter Pan and Wendy and tells a slighly modified version of the classic J.M. Barrie tale. The setup is the same: Pater Pan ( Alexander Molony) invades the home of the Darlings in London to retrieve his lost shadow and in doing so recruits the Darling children, Wendy (Ever Anderson), John (Joshua Pickering), and Michael (Jacob Jupe) to an adventure in Neverland. Upon arriving, the group are set upon by the villainous Captain Hook (Jude Law) and his pirates. It’s up to Peter and Wendy to fend off the evil captain and eventually get the Darling children home.
