Way back in December 2024 I watched all the Theatrical Disney movies to see which ones were my personal top 20 and my 7 least favorites. However there were a few surprises. So here is 5 surprises I had from my Disney movie-a-thon.
And despite the date this is NOT an April fools, I’m being truthful.
Stage vs. Movie Costumes for Christine in The Phantom of the Opera
Christine Daaé, the leading lady of The Phantom of the Opera, has a plethora of lovely costumes on the stage and on the screen. Her costumes were designed by Maria Bjornson for the stage and Alexandra Byrne for the movie.
Which Outfits Are Better?
The stage version and the movie version have some costumes that are very similar to each other, while others are quite different. But in which production does Miss Daaé have better costumes overall?
It’s a subjective question, but let’s compare the costumes side by side to come up with a conclusion. It will probably be biased because opinions are not facts, but please enjoy the costume discourse.
Early this year it was announced that Chie Shinohara’s popular shoujo manga series, Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori or Red River (or what long-time fans called Anatolia Story) is getting an anime coming out this July. Now I’m actually a HUGE fan the manga as a I own most of it in English, thank goodness for 3-in-1 releases the so I can get rest of it though I have read it all in English and I also own the complete set in Japanese. I also have other merchandise like the art book and the few of the sound theaters, so I’m a fan.
So when I heard it was finally getting an anime version it was surreal. Then the teaser trailer came out and OH BOY do I thoughts.

Here Comes the Bride
Based on the romance book series of the same name, Netflix’s Bridgerton has a reputation for being romantic. Romance often can lead to marriage, which is certainly the case for the characters populating the show.
The are quite a few weddings depicted in Bridgerton and its spin-off show, Queen Charlotte. Some the weddings are grand and opulent, some are rushed, and others are small, private affairs. And sadly a few are only mentioned after the fact.
In early February of 2026 Disney Plus premiered a soft launch reboot of The Muppet Show. In classic fashion they had a Special Guest but unlike the previous reversions there was more human involvement for this iteration.
The reason behind this relaunch reboot was thinly veil attempt to gauge public interest, to see if the masses actually wanted a new contemporary of The Muppet Show. I mean people have been wanting a new version for years ever since it was teased with 2011 movie but instead Disney elected to do other things with the Muppets like an Office-like show, the Electric Mayhem show, the YouTube-like improve show and that Haunted Mansion Movie – two of which I enjoyed and one I utterly forget about and still haven’t seen and another I didn’t even finish watching.
But how was this reboot soft launch endeavor thing? Time for Tepid Take!

There is a balancing act to casting a Frollo. Typically Frollo should be played by an actor that could conceivably look older than Quasimodo as Quasimodo is Frollo’s adoptive son.
However while Frollo is 36 years old in the novel, most actors who play Quasimodo are around 40 years ago old which ages up Frollo. So typically when fan-casting Frollo for any type of version Frollo is most often played by older actors.
