Auntie Edna and Jack-Jack Attack


Unfortunately, I only had time to write a short review today but, on The Plus Side, a short review means a review of Disney Shorts, and no, I’m not talking about any of Walt’s clothing.

Picture this: you’ve just finished watching a great movie on Disney + but it’s not that late and you don’t want to turn off the TV. Watch a short! These five-minute films come with the service and if one happens to rubbish it doesn’t really matter.

Auntie Edna and Jack-Jack attack were the two we were immediately drawn to – everyone loves Jack -Jack. The first short shows us what happened during The Incredibles 2 when Jack-Jack was left with Edna, the super suit maker, overnight. She, like anyone left with a superpowered baby, was curious about what powers Jack- Jack possessed and went about trying to list them all down. Unfortunately, she was trying to control an infant who could teleport, clone himself and turn into an evil goblin among other things (I mean who can’t?) and hilariously had to deal with Jack-Jack’s endeavours.
Marks out of 10?  An impressive eight – more marks than minutes!

Jack-Jack Attack, on the other hand, shows what happened when someone unaccustomed to the superhero world had to look after Jack-Jack and yes you can predict it didn’t go well. The babysitter, who looks like a combination of every Pixar character ever, was shocked to find out that Jack-Jack was a superhero as well as super cute and like the previous short had to scramble around, stopping the baby from doing too much damage.
Marks out of 10? A decent seven

So, there you have it! A review about shorts when I left it too late to write a review of a feature film! I hope you liked the sound of those shorts and let me convince you to watch some yourself – comment below if you have any recommendations. We would love for you to share your reviews with us and if you email us at blogontheplusside@gmail.com, we can publish them - regardless of whether we’ve written about them before. We really hope to hear from you and read your thoughts. Have a safe day everybody! - Rob

Pocahontas

Image
It was Jess’s pick yesterday and she chose a movie about the daughter of a chief who is struggling to choose between the life expected of her in the tribe and a life of adventure in nature. Sounds pretty good right? Well, the only problem is we already watched Moana a few weeks ago. Pocahontas is like a mixture of all the other different Disney movies we’ve seen - a princess, a love story, animal sidekicks and a bit of magic that detracts from the story, but the thing that makes this film different is the colonialism. Based on a true story, a ship of British sailors comes to colonise an area of North America, but the Powhatan tribe are already living there. We are introduced to John Smith, a dashing explorer who, as my sister mentioned more than a few times, would’ve been a rapist and murderer in real life. Still dashing though. John Smith meets Pocahontas, an adventurous girl and daughter to the chief, who is also  the greatest linguist of all time - she manages to learn the ...

Small Fry, Party Central, Inner Workings and Presto short films

Image
You may think I’m running short of things to write about but believe me there are  plenty of shorts to write about. If you have little interest in films, then shorts are perfect as  they are just little films - there are even some about the Simpsons and we sure ate those up! (get it…).  Small Fry This first short is guaranteed to give you a buzz - two actually. Buzz Lightyear has been replaced by a  miniature version and finds himself stuck in a support group for discarded toys in Poultry Palace.  The smaller space ranger is taken home and begins annoying the other toys whilst the real Buzz has to sit through the therapy session. This short film is pretty entertaining, especially seeing and hearing all the other discarded toys as they do look like the sort of things I threw away when I was younger! Marks out of 10: 7 Party Central I have to say that Mike Wazowski and his friends are losers, not to Sully their good names. So when they hold  a...

National Treasure 2

Image
It was my turn to pick a movie and I was scrolling through Disney + when something caught my eye. No, we’re not so bored that we’re playing catch with my eye-ball, though we’re almost at that stage, - it was National Treasure. I watched this film a few years ago and I remember absolutely loving it and wanting to become a treasure hunter afterwards. Therefore when I saw there was a sequel I knew it had to be my choice and what a choice it was! On a completely unrelated note.. I now want to become a treasure hunter again! National Treasure 2 follows Ben Gates as he attempts to clear his great-grandfather’s name. A previously undiscovered diary entry appeared to link his ancestor to the death of Abraham Lincoln and the only way Ben can prove his innocence is by finding the mythical city of gold (you’ll understand it more if you watch the movie). This ancient treasure hunt leads Ben and his companions all around the world where they find clues in famed landmarks, sneak into Buc...
