"Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!" REVIEW, on Digital, Tomorrow, 9/15, & Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack on 10/13! #CatsandDogs3

Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite! features an all-star comedy lineup lending their voices to this new generation of four footed and two winged friends including Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory) as Gwen the cat, Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood, New Girl) as Roger the dog, and George Lopez as Pablo the Parrot. The film is directed by Sean McNamara (Soul Surfer) and written by Scott Bindley (The Last Summer). Producers are Andrew Lazar (Cats & Dogs, Get Smart) and David Fliegel.

My Review and Thoughts:

"Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!" is a cute movie. I'd say younger kids might like it, they might not. Maybe they could watch it a half hour to an hour at a time, and come back to it. It's sort of slow going. The dog and cat agents are super cute though. Good movie for a rainy afternoon. Watch the credits to see how they trained the animals to do things in the movie!

About Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!:

It's been 10 years since the creation of the Great Truce, an elaborate joint-species surveillance system designed and monitored by cats and dogs to keep the peace when conflicts arise. But when a tech-savvy villain hacks into wireless networks to use frequencies only heard by cats and dogs, he manipulates them into conflict, and the worldwide battle between cats and dogs is BACK ON. Now, a team of inexperienced and untested agents will have to use their old-school animal instincts to restore order and peace between cats and dogs everywhere.

We have also created the puuurrfect coloring page for you and your readers to get everyone excited for this upcoming release: https://app.box.com/s/au15bnspro3q5s1sc7589h7u12tefwmt

M-I-C-YA REAL SOON ON DISNEY+: 

“THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF MICKEY MOUSE”

ANIMATED SHORTS PREMIERE ON MICKEY’S BIRTHDAY, NOVEMBER 18

Mickey Mouse and friends are heading to Disney+ in the all new-animated shorts series, “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse." From the team behind Disney Channel's Emmy Award-winning “Mickey Mouse” cartoon shorts, the new Disney+ original series will debut on Mickey’s birthday, Wednesday, November 18, with two new shorts rolling out every Friday beginning November 27. Ten shorts will premiere this year, with 10 additional shorts set for Summer 2021.

In “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse,” it's nothing but fun and excitement for Mickey and his best pals – Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto - as they embark on their greatest adventures yet, navigating the curveballs of a wild and zany world where the magic of Disney makes the impossible possible. Each seven-minute short is filled with laugh-out-loud comedy, modern settings, timeless stories, new music and the unmistakable classic art style of the “Mickey Mouse” shorts. The series will include stories inspired by various lands at Disney parks and cameos by classic Disney heritage characters.

Marked by a contemporary art style that harkens back to Mickey’s 1928 beginnings, the “Mickey Mouse” cartoon shorts premiered on Disney Channel in 2013 and ran for five seasons, consisting of a total of 96 episodes, and garnered seven Primetime Emmy Awards, two Daytime Emmy Awards and 21 Annie Awards. The shorts inspired a global line of consumer products, toys and clothing as well as the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, the first ride-through attraction in Disney history starring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. All five seasons of the shorts are currently available to stream on Disney+.

“The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” is produced by Disney Television Animation with Emmy Award-winning artist and director Paul Rudish serving as executive producer and supervising director.

I Met A Girl - Movie Review! Available On Demand September 11th

Available On Demand on September 11, 2020

DIRECTED BY:
Luke Eve (High Life, Low Life)

WRITTEN BY:
Glen Dolman (Bloom, High Life)

STARRING:
- Brenton Thwaites (The Giver, Maleficent)
- Joel Jackson (Jungle, Safe Harbour)
- Lily Sullivan (Jungle, Mental)

Synopsis:
I Met A Girl follows the story of Devon (Brenton Thwaites), an aspiring musician with schizophrenia who is dependent on his older brother, Nick (Joel Jackson) to care for him. However, when Nick’s wife, Olivia (Zahra Newman) becomes pregnant, they arrange for Devon to move out. On a downward spiral, Devon is saved by Lucy (Lily Sullivan) a mysterious girl who is just as impulsive and romantic as he is. After one day together, they fall completely in love. Devon then arranges for Nick to meet her, but Lucy doesn’t show. They try to find her but her apartment is empty. Nick suspects that Lucy is a delusion, while Devon, desperate to prove his sanity, discovers a note that she wrote him: meet me in Sydney. And Devon sets off on an epic, cross-country journey to find her; the girl of his dreams… who may be all in his head.


My Review:
I Met A Girl is a hard movie to handle in the beginning. Once Devin stops taking his meds, you start to see more of his schizophrenia symptoms coming on. Especially when his demons start talking to him and making him doubt himself.

Devin takes a great journey leading him finally to Sydney, Australia where he meets a gentleman name Soul who helps him to print out fliers of Lucy (a girl who he met in his dreams, or was she real) to hang up around Sydney. And then a TV reporter finds Devin to ask him how he lost Lucy. When he goes on air, after telling his story, he starts hearing voices again and seeing this really bad nurse holding a needle whose waiting for him and sometimes, chases him. So he runs out of the studio, and his brother finds him laying on the ground in a park.

Devin checks into a place that can help people like him, and gets counceling. His counselor tells him that he's becoming more aware of himself and in control of his mind. He decides to check himself out. He gets a great job at a record store and moves into his own apartment. And then, something awesome happens! But, you'll have to watch the movie and stick with it to find out!
