My collections

Well, this is it. This is my entry where I show all of you my many collections. I said I was going to do this before and now we're finally here. I was really excited to do this. And before we get started, there are a few things to know first. First off, in this I'm going to be saying what the thing is and then show pictures of what they are and then I'm going to talk about it. There's going to be a lot of pictures here and it took me a long time to do a lot of these on one day. I didn't do them all on one day, but I did do a lot on one day. The next thing is that I'm going to be show a little more than my collections. I'm also going to show all of you parts of my house and my pets. I don't know. I just felt like doing that. And so, without any more delays, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy this.
My room:


So firstly I'm going to show all of you my bedroom and there's a lot of history in this room. Why, you might ask? Well, I'm going to explain. Firstly, this was originally my brother's room, but then I was born and we ended up sharing it for a few years. Where my desk and shelf are is where our bed was. We had a bunk bed. I was on the bottom and he was on the top. But then about maybe 5 or 6 or 7 years ago he got his own room where our sittingroom used to be. It's now his bedroom and this room is all mine now. But then I had the bunk bed and my desk was where my bed is now. But then in Christmas of 2015, we changed everything. We got me a new bed for me and we changed where they were and got me the shelf you can see and we changed the carpet as well. And the picture on the desk there, I don't know if you can clearly see it, but there's a picture of a man there and he was my granddad. We used to call him da. But he died in 2009. That was probably one of the saddest times in my life when that happened. And actually, this might sound weird, but when that happened. I feel like my life changed then because I think when that happened, my life got a little more serious and I was only 10 years old when that happened too. I just sorta felt that when it happened, something in my head was just sorta changing, like my life was changing. It's kinda hard to explain, but that's how it is. And I love this room. It might not look very big from where I took these pictures but it's actually a little bigger than you might think. Not a whole lot bigger but a little. And so, let's continue.
My posters:



Now these are my posters in my room. I have a lot of SpongeBob ones and Simpsons ones but that's because I had a lot of SpongeBob and Simpson comics before and I hung them up. And I also have a few Naruto ones too. I got the one that's on my wardrobe at a comic con 2 years ago. Yeah, I go to comic cons and I love them. They're always awesome and fun to go to. And those are my posters, let's move on.
My drawings:


These are 2 drawings I did of SpongeBob and Chowder free handed. I was really happy with the way they turned out. And my SpongeBob one is actually SpongeBob looking like Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I did that a couple of years ago. I got that idea off the top of my head. It combines two of my favourite things ever, SpongeBob and Kingdom Hearts and it's SpongeBob in Sora's clothes and holding a spatula Keyblade with a Krabby Patty as the keychain. I thought that was pretty clever and everyone liked it too and they like my Chowder picture too. And I like how they turned out.
My electronics:



Now we move onto some of my entertainment devises. The first is my laptop which is what I write these entries on and next to it is my DVD player which, obviously, I watch my DVDs on and we'll get to those in a second. Then we have my iPod shuffle. I've brought that up a few times in my Daniel Danger stories. Speaking of my Daniel Danger stories, and I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm going to anyway, I always like to imagine that if I ever got my Daniel Danger stories turned into something else for entertainment, I like to imagine that it'll be turned into a Netflix show and whenever I listen to a lot of the music on my iPod, I like to imagine the things in the stories happening in the episodes and the music going along with the scene. And I thought of some trailers for it too. I literally cannot stop thinking that ever since I first did. I love doing that. It is so much fun. Especially whenever I'm out for a walk and I'm running all the time and listening to it and imagining it. It gives me so much excited. I know that sounds really weird. But I can't help but enjoy every second of it. The kind of stuff that's on it are some stuff from Disney, Pixar, Kingdom Hearts, YouTube videos, Naruto, interviews with actors, some Lion Guard songs and a whole lot more. And after that we have my 3DS which is what I use to play 3DS games on like Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Smash Bros. and some others. That's great fun too.
My playroom:


So this is my playroom which in my basement and as you can see, this is where all my other game consoles ae like my PlayStation 2, 3 and 4, my Wii, Wii U and 2 TVs and some more of my posters and other art things. And on the other TV is a painting I did of myself which is something we were told to do in school. I use the TV on the desk to play my PlayStation 2 and I use the one on the wall to play all my other consoles.
My mascot stuff:

Something I may or may not of mentioned before is that I was actually a rugby mascot before 4 times and these are things from that time. I was the mascot for Munster in 2004, then I was the mascot for Munster again in 2006, then I was the mascot for Ireland in 2007 and then I was the mascot for Munster again in 2010. I remember a lot of the things that happened during that time. These are some things from then. There's some newspapers with me in them and some pictures and DVDs and even my first ever boots from when I was maybe 4 years old and I did it for the very first time. Every time I did it, it was a huge honour.
My Kingdom Hearts collection:


Now we come to the collections. And what better way to do that than starting off with my favourite thing ever, Kingdom Hearts. As you can see, I have all the games including 2.8, which I recently got and there's also my Sora costume and my Keyblade and some mangas that someone made of the video games which are so hilarious a lot and some other things in there as well like some other clothes and I have a few Kingdom Hearts keychains. I of course have great pride in all of these because, well yeah, it's Kingdom Hearts. Can it really get any better? No, I don't think it can.
My Disney Classics:


Next up is my entire Disney Classics collection which is every single Classic as of right now from 1 to 54 and I keep all the discs inside this folder. As you can see, I was not kidding when I said I'm a huge Disney collector and this is the biggest reason why. I love having these movies. And I can't wait to get more like Moana when it comes out. And yes, I even have the bad Classics too like the Black Cauldron and Home on the Range and some others because they are Classics and I can't complete the collection without them. This is probably my favourite DVD collection I have. And I love it. You all know I love Disney Classics and that I've talked about them a lot. They're all in order of release obviously. (All my DVD collections you'll be seeing will be in order of release too.) And all of them have the number on them to say what Classic they are like how Snow White is number 1, it says it on the side. I have them all lined up on my shelf in that order. I seriously can't say enough about this except I love it.
My Pixar movies:

Next is all my Pixar movies from Toy Story to Finding Dory. Next to my Disney Classics collection, this my favourite or second DVD collection. Pixar is still my favourite film studio and I love to have these. I do have a case for these movies too but I forgot to take a picture of it. And I actually have all the Disney Classics and Pixar movies and DreamWorks movies and comic book movies on the shelf you saw a minute ago. And I love having these too.
My DreamWorks movies:

While it doesn't look like much, I'm still collecting all the DreamWorks movies. I know what you might be thinking. About how did I see all of them to make that ranking of all the DreamWorks movies last year. Simple. I've also seen a lot of them online and that's how. And I still like having and watching these. And yes, like the Disney Classics, I even have the bad ones too. But I feel like having the complete collection too.
My comic book movies:



And next is my comic book movies. I have a lot of them and the discs go into this folder. As of right now I have a lot of them up to Suicide Squad. I have the original Superman movies, the original Batman movies (yes, even Batman & Robin, but that's only because they came in a box set and because I like having the complete collection of everything in terms of DVDs), the X-Men movies (they all also came in a box set except Deadpool which is there too), the original Spider-Man movies, the Dark Knight trilogy, the Amazing Spider-Man movies, the M.C.U movies so far and the DC.E.U movies so far, the three Blade movies, Watchmen, the two original Fantastic 4 movies as well as the 2003 Daredevil movie and the 2011 Green Lantern movie (I know, weird, isn't it). And every single one of these are in order of release date.
My SpongeBob Squarepants collection:



Starting off my TV stuff is my favourite TV show ever, SpongeBob. I have so many things here like DVDs that include seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the two SpongeBob movies. I'm still working on getting the other seasons. I have a lot more SpongeBob things but I think there's too much to show there so I'm just going with the DVDs. And I love having these. These are the only seasons that are technically good. And the other things I have are some comics, I used to have a lot more SpongeBob comics but my mam got rid of most of them so there's only two left, also, I'm in one of those comics. I'm not kidding, I really am in one of those when I sent a photo there of me with all my SpongeBob stuff and my costume. Yeah, I used to have a SpongeBob costume. My dad made it for me out of a huge box that I put over myself. I don't have it anymore, but I'm tell ya that anyway. I also have other SpongeBob books, cards, stuffed characters, a puzzle ball, a table mat, a sign, annuals, a wood carving of Patrick that my dad made me, some games, a t-shirt, a dressing gown, tiny figures of SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward and Gary and there's also a pillow there that I made myself in Home Ec. I made it into SpongeBob's head. And the reason why there're three pictures is because there was so many things I thought I should do more than one.
My Family Guy DVDs:

Next is my Family Guy DVDs which include seasons 1-10. I'm still working on getting the rest. And I like having these too. I even have the season that has my favourite episode in it in season 10. Read my top 10 Family Guy episodes list if you haven't already to know what that episode is. And I love having these and I can't wait to get the rest.
My Lion Guard collection:

Now we move onto my Lion Guard things. There is so much here. I have the three current DVDs which include the movie, Return of the Roar and then there are the TV DVDs with some episodes in them which are Unleash the Power and Life in the Pride Lands. There's also my paintings I did on my laptop I showed on this blog a few times. I printed those because I was going to do something with them but that didn't happen so I decided to hang onto them. There's also my comics as well along with some posters and my stuffed Lion Guard characters. I also have a box set that I got for Christmas of 2016 of the five main Lion Guard characters. There's also 2 water bottles and a cup and straw I got myself as well as a Kion Christmas Tree ornament that my sister got for me and there's a Kion plate that my dad got for me. We got those three things at the Disney shop in London. That shop is absolutely amazing. If you ever go to London, I recommend going there. It is amazing. I promise. I've gone there a few times when I went over to see my dad. I also have the Lion King 2, which isn't a Lion Guard thing but I just wanted to show it anyway because they are connected. And that's all my Lion Guard stuff. Also, I can't show it, and I already said it before, but I also still have the Lion Guard iPhone game.
My graphic novels and character guides:


These are all my Marvel and DC graphic novels. And I have a lot of those. I've talked about some of these before and now. I have a Justice League one as well as the Killing Joke and the Dark Knight Returns. Then with Marvel, I have some pocket books which are small books of comics from the '60s or '70s or even '80s. I then also have some Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four and other Marvel graphic novels as well like Civil War and Infinity, Avengers vs. X-Men and even the Secret Invasion, Siege and Shadowland. And under that are the Marvel and DC character guides that tell a lot of heroes and villains from both of those and what they can do, who they are and other stuff like that.
My Naruto collection:

Now we come to my anime stuff and manga stuff. First off is my Naruto collection. As you can see, I have a lot of Naruto mangas. I don't have them all. But I'm working on getting all those too. The reason that there's a separate picture of another Naruto manga is because I got it sometime after I finished taking the picture above it and I didn't want to redo the first one. I also have a lot of DVDs which include all of the original series and Naruto Shippuden: Season 1 and I also have Naruto The Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel. As well as a box set of the first five Naruto Shippuden movies an they are, the first one, Bonds, the Will of Fire, the Lost Tower and Blood Prison and a separate one with the Last: Naruto The Movie. I've only been able to see the rest online. I also have a Naruto Leaf Village headband, a shuriken, two t-shirts, a wallet and a Chunin jacket jumper with a leaf village headband front on the hood. And you can't see it, but one of those mangas is actually signed, number 27. When I went to a Comic Con in 2015, my brother and I actually saw one of the actors there, as in Stephanie Sheh who plays Hinata and she signed one of my mangas I actually got that same day. But even past all that, I love this collection and I can't wait to get the rest of the mangas and DVDs.
My Bleach collection:

Continuing my anime stuff, we come to my Bleach stuff. I have a ton of mangas and they're all 3 in 1 mangas. I haven't finished with this collection yet. I also have a ton of DVDs which include some seasons. I really just buy the DVDs if I see them and if I can and want to. I even have one of the DVDs signed by Johnny Yong Bosch himself who voiced Ichigo in the show. I met him at a Comic Con in Cork a while back. I don't remember which one but I did.
My Fairy Tail collection:

Next on my manga/anime stuff is my collection of Fairy Tail things. I have six mangas and I have Seasons 1-4 of the anime DVDs. And Season 1 is also signed too by Todd Haberkorn who voiced Natsu. I saw him at another Comic Con and what he wrote on it was "To Daniel, stay fired up." If you know the show or manga, then you know what that means.
My Fullmetal Alchemist collection:

Finishing my anime stuff is my Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood box collection. All of these are in a box and it's the entire show and there's two discs inside each case. And I love this anime as you all already know. It's probably my third favourite anime. And I am super happy I have this because I love to watch it a lot. And I also have all the manga collection with three in each one like some of the ones I showed with my Naruto collection. I have every single one and one of them is actually signed again. It's the second one with Scar on it. I met Scar's voice actor, J. Michael Tatum, at a Comic Con a while back and I asked him to sign it for me. And, like the Naruto collection, I'm really glad to have all of these.
My Harry Potter collection:


The reason the DVDs look like that is because they're in a box set and two movies are in one case and that's why. And beneath that are some pictures that were taken of me the day my mam, dad and brother went to the Harry Potter Experience. I got to wear a Gryffindor cloak and sit on a broom and it was in front of a green screen and that's where that second picture came from and I'm also holding my wand. And the one above it is all of us inside the Weasley's car and it looks like my brother is driving and we're driving away from the Hogwarts Express. And also the one with me on the broom was also a video I have on a memory stick and it's me flying around different locations in the Harry Potter universe.
My Middle Earth DVDs:

After Harry Potter, we have my Middle Earth DVDs which include all the Lord of the Rings movies and all the Hobbit movies. I still feel that the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are kinda the same and that's why they're this is going after Harry Potter. And of course I was going to have the Lord of the Rings. I mean everyone says that it's one of the best film trilogies ever. And I love having them as well like the rest of all of this. And I do have the books and the Harry Potter books, I just didn't think of them when doing these pictures.
My Star Wars DVDs:

These are all my current Star Wars movies from episode I-VII. I know I don't have the episode I case but that's because I couldn't find it. I keep the disk inside that case with all the Disney Classics I showed a minute ago along with all the rest and the Harry Potter movies and the Middle Earth movies. The more and more Classics come out, the more I'll take all those franchises out to make room for more Classics. Same with the shelf which is where almost all my DVDs are in my room. But anyway, I like having these, even the prequel movies. And I have the original trilogy in one case.
My Sonic the Hedgehog games:

Get this, when I was doing these pictures I actually thought I had more Sonic games but really these are all the ones I do have and I like the ones I do have. I actually do have Sonic Heroes, but I don't have the cover on the case so that's why that's not here. But still, I find enjoyment in all the ones I have here.
My Batman Arkham games:

And these are my Arkham games for the PS3. And I know you might be wonder why I don't have Arkham Knight, especially when I've talked about it before. Well here's the truth, I have played and finished the game, but I was only able to play it at my cousin's house because, and I promise, I am not lying here, I've gotten Arkham Knight for the PS4 four times but every time I put it into my PS4, it always says that the disc is damaged somehow. I promise, that is the truth. But these games are still fun.
My amiibos:















And all of these are my amiibos for Smash Bros. I don't have them all yet but I will soon. And having the ones I do have so far is really great. And if you play Smash Bros. and you know what amiibos are, then you should know what they do. But if you don't play it and you don't know, I'll explain. Amiibos are little figures you can use in Smash Bros. for either Wii U or 3DS and you can level them up and make them your ally or make them fight you. I actually kinda regret taking them out of their boxes but yeah, I did and I like having them all.
My Disney Infinity figures:









After my amiibos, we have my Disney Infinity figures. I've talked about Disney Infinity before so if you haven't read my review, read it to find out how it works. Overall these are really cool to have. I like using them, they're cool and the more I get, the more I love having them. And it's fun to put these characters on the circle of the Disney Infinity play base and play as them. I always have a great time with this game and nonstop fun.
My Toy Story banner:

This is something I made in school. We were told to make a 3D model and so I made this. I was really please with the way it turned out and I added a wood carved Woody and Buzz to go on the sides. I asked my teacher to cut them out and he did and then I designed everything else. My family was really proud of me when I did It and I'm still really happy with the way it looks.
My pets:


Now these are my pets I've mentioned a few times. My dog's name is Bob and we've had him for 12 years and my rabbit's name is Fluffy and we've had him for 7 years. I actually remember the days we got both of them. Bob actually lives inside the house. He used to live outside but 2 years ago, we decided to have him live inside because he's getting old. And Fluffy lives in a hutch outside. And where I got the names were kinda strange. When we got Bob, I was really young. I think I was only 5 years old and so I was really into Bob the Builder and that's where that name came from and with Fluffy, that name came from a long story but here it is. So one day at school there was a petting zoo van and there were rabbits there and one of my classmates just thought of the name Fluffy and so that's where that name comes from. And I love these two.
My Daniel Danger costume:

This was my original Daniel Danger costume I had for a while the t-shirt was something my dad gave me and he painted a D on the front as well as spelt Daniel Danger on the back. I also have the gloves and the red t-shirt is something he cut to make me a cape. And we actually got a rubber Captain America mask and we painted the A to look like a D. And the sword is something my dad also made for me and the shield was something I got at a medieval festival and I painted it to look like that. That was my original costume but now thanks to the Daniel Danger stories I've done on this blog, I redesigned it a little and I'm so glad I did. because I think it looks better now. Like I got rid of the D and wings on the mask, I made the mask into a helmet, I took away the Daniel Danger on the back and I added pants and boots. I haven't made them for real but that's how I designed it in the story. And this is actually kinda cool to wear.
My Toy Story toy collection:

These are my Toy Story toy collectables. I love these things. They're like action figures and there's another two that are like these but I don't have them and they're Bullseye and Lotso. And the paper under them are little certificates that came with them that John Lasseter himself wrote saying these were made using data from the original Toy Story movies. I'm also hoping to get the rest of the other toys from the movies too. And like I said, I love these things. They're almost exactly like the actual characters from the movies. The only few differences aren't that noticeable. One is that Andy isn't written on their boots. Another is some of the facial stuff you can kinda tell, especially with Woody. But they're still awesome and they talk the same way.
Lollipop:

Finishing us off is Lollipop. Lollipop is a monkey teddy I've had literally since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. I got him at a zoo when I was on a school tour with my playschool. And the reason I called him Lollipop is because when we were on the bus going back to school from the tour, I was trying to think of a name for him and everyone else around me had actual Lollipops and so that's where I got the name. Lollipop is my favourite toy. I love him and I take him everywhere. Okay. Not "everywhere." But I always bring him on holidays and he always sleeps with me, which I know may sound creepy, especially given how I'm 17, but that's the truth. I just love him so much. He's also a puppet. That's why he doesn't have legs. You can put your hand in and make him do things. And everyone, that's my collections entry. I had a lot of fun doing this and I hope all of you liked it too. Thank you all for looking and reading and please comment to tell me what you think.

New Lion King remake annocment

So as I said before, the Lion King is one of the Disney movies that getting a live action remake and it's being directed by Jon Favreau who directed the first two Iron Man movies and the live action Jungle Book movie last year. I've already talked a lot about the live action Disney remakes last year and I told you all about what ones are being made and I said that one of them is the Lion King which might be out in 2018 or 2019. And I said that this was my most anticipated of all the remakes I mentioned. And today, Jon mentioned more info about it. Really big stuff actually. The main two things that were mentioned were that Donald Glover is going to be playing the adult Simba and James Earl Jones is returning to play Mufasa. That really excites me. Especially the whole thing about James Earl Jones as Mufasa again. The last time we saw he do this role was in the Lion Guard: Return of the Roar. They replaced him for the show for some reason. But the guy who does him in the show is still good as I said before. And so having James return to do the role again is fantastic. I already mentioned before about how James himself is a fantastic and amazing actor and this is beyond exciting to me. And because of this news, I've become even more excited for this and I can't wait for more information to come out and for the movie itself to come out too. So yeah, that's the annocment that was made. Thank you all for reading and please comment below to tell me what you think of this news and are you excited for this movie to come out too?

New Kingdom Hearts 3 screenshot

So just today there a new screenshot released for Kingdom Hearts 3, which has made me super excited for it. This is the picture.
KH3 Magic Screenshot 3
It looks like it's Sora on Mount Olympus fighting a huge Heartless. This leads me to think that maybe for the whole Olympus world you have to go through the world to get to the very top of it for the first part of the game and fighting enemies like other Heartless and the Rock Titan as we saw before and then this is the last boss of Olympus. It also looks like Sora is in a Drive form and his Keyblade is a shield and so maybe this is the new form called Guard Form. And maybe Zeus gives Sora the new clothes and Drive Forms and Keyblade and ability and maybe the new look too and then you have to fight this giant Heartless. That's just a quick thought I had when I saw this. And so, that's that. Thank you all for reading and please comment to tell me what you think of this picture and tell me what you think might happen at this point of the game.

7 Ron Clements and John Musker Disney Classics ranked

With Moana coming to DVD really soon and I already have it ordered, I thought it would be a good idea to look back at the history of the directors of this and rank the 7 movies they've made and I am of course talking about John Musker and Ron Clements. I've said this already about how they're my favourite Disney directors and so far they've made 7 Disney Classics including Moana and so I thought it would be a great idea to rank all 7 and I can't wait to see what these two do next. And there's a slight possibility you're going to disagree with some of the choices in the way I put them, but these are just my opinion and the way I like these movies. Also, I don't hate any of these movies. I love all but one of them. But I still really like the other one too. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
7. Treasure Planet:
See the source image
Starting us off at the bottom of the list is Treasure Planet. A very different and kinda unique sorta Disney Classic. I did a review on this a few years ago and everything I said then is still true now. I really find this movie underrated a little. It seems really unique like I said and the crew, especially Ron and John, all really seemed to be committed to this. While it does have some problems, I still find this movie really enjoyable.
6. The Great Mouse Detective:
Image result for the great mouse detective poster
Now we get into the really good Disney movies. The Great Mouse Detective is a really fun movie. All around, it's a super fun movie and really good character driven movie too. This was Ron and John's first real movie together and they totally pulled it off. And with this being the first animated movie with computer effects in it, they knew what they were doing when they incorporated it into this. And Basil and Ratigan are really good heroes and villains here.
5. Hercules:
Image result for hercules 1997 poster
At number 5, we have one of my most nostalgic movies ever, Hercules. I remember absolutely loving this movie and watching it a lot when I was younger and even now it's still a really enjoyable movie with really likeable and enjoyable characters and a cool villain with Hades. And there's also really funny scenes too. Especially with Phil who's really hilarious. And the rest of the characters are also likeable and funny and the story is really well told with very unique kind of animation.
4. The Little Mermaid:
Image result for the little mermaid poster
Next up is the movie that started the original Disney Renaissance in 1989, the Little Mermaid. This was such a ground-breaking movie when it came out and the directing by Ron and John here is absolutely amazing. And if you watch the two of them in interviews for this movie, they even said that this was one of their favourite projects they worked on and it shows. A strong movie held together by mostly strong characters and fantastic animation and songs make me put this movie at number 4.
3. Aladdin:
Image result for aladdin 1992 poster
Having a big success with the Little Mermaid four years before this, Ron and John managed to turn out another enjoyable, funny and really likeable movie. This was a movie everyone went to see when it came out and it's totally easy to see why. It's fantastic and it has Robin Williams as the Genie, of course it's going to be amazing. The animation and colours are really nice here and it was great to follow these characters and see what they're doing. And Aladdin and Jasmine are also really good leads for it and everything with Jafar is awesome. just a really solid and really enjoyable Disney movie.
2. The Princess and the Frog:

When I was putting this together, I was kinda thinking about these last three and where to put them. I'm talking about the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and this. I was thinking about it for a while but then I decided to do it this way. I really love these movies, but I guess I would put them this way for now. But yeah, I've already talked about this movie a lot and how I absolutely love it. I think it's fantastic and one of the most entertaining Disney movies ever. The characters, performances, songs and story are all amazing and really well put together. I actually think this is kinda underrated and not given the praise it deserves in my opinion. I absolutely love this movie.
1. Moana:

This is what I meant at the beginning when I said you would most likely disagree with me. But I can't help it. I love Moana. It's the most recent Disney Classic and it's fantastic. I think it's one of the best animated movies in a while. Not as good as Zootropolis, but still, really fantastic. I'm not even 100% certain how I would rank all the movies in the new Disney Renaissance, but whatever. The cast is amazing, especially the main two. This was Auli'i Cravalho's first movie ever and she was amazing perfect. Maybe one of the best Disney voice cast I've heard in a while and maybe ever. And Dwayne Johnson kills it as Maui. They were fantastic and I loved these two together. The animation is amazing too as to be expected from Disney nowadays. Like I said before, even though in real life I hate water, but the animation on the water here is just phenomenal. The songs are also some of the best I think I may have ever heard from Disney. I cannot stop listening to these amazing songs. They are so amazing. Especially How Far I'll Go. I already said that in my review, but I love almost every song here.
They're almost all amazing. Except for Shiny. That song is good, just not great. And the people behind this were all happy with this too.
And there was actually an after credit scene and it is so hilarious. Watch this.
That is awesome. I actually think I liked this movie more than a lot of other people because a lot of people said it was good, just not an absolute amazing masterpiece, but I think it is and it's still my third favourite movie of last year. And like I said, I love these characters and this story. I really do and I can't wait to get this and put it with my other Disney Classics. And everyone, those are the 7 Ron Clements and John Musker Disney Classics ranked.

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance

So now we've come to the last Kingdom Hearts review before 0.2 and that is Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Next to Kingdom Hearts 2, this is another one of the most perfect things ever. This was my favourite Kingdom Hearts game for a while but then I thought about it more and Kingdom Hearts 2 is my favourite but this is still a really incredible and perfect game. What's the story? Firstly like every Kingdom Hearts game, there's an amazing opening, but this one is actually a little different to all the other ones we saw before.
It picks up where the secret ending of Re:Coded left off, with Sora and Riku going to the Mysterious Tower to do the Mark of Mastery exam. But unlike the way Terra and Aqua did, they have to do it a different way. They sorta go back in time in their dreams. I don't know entirely. It's a tiny bot hard to explain. But anyway, they go back in time and the objective of the game is to complete the worlds you're in and they have to find and unlock seven sleeping keyholes which will apparently grant them new powers. And so they do but something is going on. Yen Sid, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy are all worried because they feel like Xehanort is up to something. And there is something going on. Especially with Sora. The further he goes, the more he's starting to feel really weird. And the reason for that is because Xehanort wants him for something. And, I'm going to stop there. There are a lot of really important things to know about in the story and I'll get to that in a second, but first, let's go over the many good things in this. Firstly, the graphics in this are the best since Kingdom Hearts 2. I know all the Kingdom Hearts game kinda look the same, but here, I think it just looks a tiny bit different. Not a lot different, just a little. And the gameplay is also fantastic. This is also the best gameplay in Kingdom Hearts game since Kingdom Hearts 2. Not as good, but still, really impressive. I love the gameplay here. I think it's fantastic. I also really love the worlds they have here. All the new Disney ones they introduced were awesome, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pinocchio, Tron Legacy, Fantasia and the Three Musketeers. I think they're all awesome. And even though I don't really like the Ton Legacy movie, I do really like this game's world of it. And seeing the interactions between Sora and Riku and all these characters is fanatastic like always. Speaking of which, you get to play as Sora and Riku here. They're in different locations and you do this thing called Drop where the character falls asleep and then you play as the other character and play their side of the story. I thought that was really fun. And of course the characters are still amazing and so is the cast. They're amazing like always. I said this about Max Charles as Kion and I'm saying it again, I'm never not gonna like Haley Joel Osment as Sora. And the same goes to David Gallagher as Riku. Both of these actors are still amazing and I still love them. And this is the Kingdom Hearts game that made me absolutely adore Riku. I already loved him in Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2, but here, I love him more than I ever have. And the fact that this was a 3DS game opened a lot of possibilities like the graphics like I said a second ago. The graphics look just like Kingdom Hearts 1, Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep in the way it looks. I mean in 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, the were a little restricted and some things looked a little weird and since they were both just regular DS games, they didn't look that great. They looked good, just not absolutely amazing. But here, they look amazing. And remember what I was saying about the gameplay, this game introduced something that got rid of the problem that some of the other games had and that was the platforming. This game introduced Flowmotion which is this thing where you can jump and dash towards a wall and this pink energy would go around Sora and Riku and you can jump as many times as you wanted by dashing to different walls. It's kinda hard to explain exactly what happens, but it was amazing and it's even returning in Kingdom Hearts 3. We saw it in the trailer we got in 2015 and I love that because it was amazing and perfect here. It was an amazing idea. And you don't even have to do anything. You just have it at the very beginning. And many twists that occur here are incredible. And, I'm sorry but I have to show you the ending because it's really important to know what happens. Here it is. So apparently Xehanort is coming back like Yen Sid said and he wants Sora as a vessel for his heart. I don't know if you'll get it all from this but I'm gonna try my best. Here's the big ending.
I'm sorry if that seemed really long, but like I said, if you want to know the full thing, it's important to know all of that. And remember when Xehanort said there's going to a time when the lights and darknesses fight? He's obviously talking about Kingdom Hearts 3. That scene is a setup for the ending of Kingdom Hearts 3 I bet. And it's really awesome to see that Kairi is going to be in Keyblade training too. Spoiler alert, but she actually got a Keyblade from Riku near the end of Kingdom Hearts 2, but I already said that in my Birth By Sleep review. And apparently, at the end of 0.2, Yen Sid actually sends Kairi and Lea to Radiant Garden, A.K.A Hollow Bastion, to train with Merlin and the three fairies. That was awesome. And in case anyone is wondering why Axel is alive, it's because of something Yen Sid said during the secret ending of Re:Coded. It's because whenever a person has vanished and their Nobody is around, if their Nobody is destroyed, that person will return to normal. Which means almost all of the original Organisation XIII members are back to normal. In fact, the whole original Organisation XIII thing was Xehanort's plan as well. According to Xigbar, the reason Xemnas and Xehanort formed the original Organisation XIII was so they could apparently "round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts and fill them with the exact same heart and mind." Which means they used the Organisation member so they could turn them all into more Xehanorts. And apparently all of the original Organisation members actually did have hearts but Xemnas and Xigbar lied to them saying they didn't. Like I said, this can be really confusing if you don't know the full thing, but yeah, that's what the plan was. And I like that idea. That is an amazing and brilliant move of writing from Tetsuya Nomora. But now that the original Organisation is gone and back to what they were, Xehanort made a new one of different versions of himself from different times. In fact, one version of himself is constantly showing up around Sora and Riku and talking to them and you get to fight him at the end as Riku. And speaking of Sora, now I get to talk about the full thing with him. I might have said this already in my Birth By Sleep review, but still, so he wasn't really chosen by the Keyblade. Riku was. Remember when Terra performed the ceremony on Riku to get a Keyblade, well the night Riku gave into the darkness was also the night he was supposed to get it, but since he gave into the darkness and the Keyblade knew Sora's heart was stronger and with the people in his heart, it went to him instead. The Keyblade didn't choose him but he got it because Riku gave into the darkness. Yeah, I just thought you should know that. This is also the only Kingdom Hearts game I've finished 100%. And the secret boss is also awesome. It's Julius. I've never heard of him before this, but yeah, you fight him in Traverse Town and if you beat him, you get the Ultima Weapon Keyblade. Speaking of bosses, all of them are great here, maybe Spellican is a little annoying, but I still really like it. And the best part is that when you finish the game, you can go back and fight the last boss of any world whenever you want. And I really like the Dream Eaters here. The Dream Eaters are these animal like things that help you and they're also your enemy this time instead of Heartless or Nobodies or Unversed. There are those that are on your side and there are those who are you're enemies and you always have to fight them. I'm also so good on this game I haven't died in ages. This game also showed maybe my favourite Keyblade in the entire series, the Unbound Key.
See the source image
I'm not sure if it is my favourite because I have so many favourites, but it's one my top 5 favourite Keyblades. It's so strong and powerful. This game also introduced characters from the World Ends With You game. I've never heard of it before this, but the characters from it here are awesome. And I love everything about this game. I absolutely love it. It's right up there with Kingdom Hearts 2. I like Kingdom Hearts 2 a little more, but still, I still love this game and everything in it. It is another perfect game that I have no problem with what so ever like Kingdom Hearts 2. So yeah, definetly play this if you haven't already. Same for all the Kingdom Hearts games. And so everyone, those were all the Kingdom Hearts games reviewed. the reason I was doing reviews for all of them was because Kingdom Hearts 2.8 has come out and I'm getting it in a couple of days and when it does, I'm going to do a review for 0.2. I can't wait for that and I'm still waiting patiently for Kingdom Hearts 3, or at least for some other new announcement for it. I heard that there's supposed to be one this Christmas and I hope that that's true and if so, I cannot wait. So yeah, thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you thought of this review or tell me if you've played the Kingdom Hearts games and if so, what do you think of them and I would highly recommend them if you haven't. This series is still the best thing ever to me.

Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded

Now we've come to a kinda underrated Kingdom Hearts game, Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded. This was the second DS Kingdom Hearts game and was a tiny bit split when it came out. And by split, I don't mean in ways that made people say it was bad, they all said it was good, but they were just split on a couple of things in the game that made them either like or dislike the gameplay in it. But, before I get to that though, let's talk about the story. What's the story?  It, of course, opens with one of those awesome opening scenes again.
It's set after Kingdom Hearts 2 and after the scene where everyone returns to where they belong. But before the after credit scene at the end of that game. That scene took place a year after the main game and this is what happens before that scene and something is going on in Jiminy's journal. Yeah, just in case I didn't say it, Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio was with Sora, Donald and Goofy in Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories and 2 and he always stays in Sora's hood. But now that he's back at Disney Castle, he's looking at his journal and in one of his journals and he's seeing a mysterious message he never wrote into it that says "Their hurting will be mending when you return to the end." He shows King Mickey along with Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale. They suggest using a special machine to scan the journal but then something happens. Some kind of block like things appears inside it that machine. They're not sure what's going on but then they get the idea to find someone already in the journal and have them explore the different worlds and repair the data and so they choose Sora. And the whole game is basically going to a few worlds inside the computer as Data Sora and trying to fix the data of Jiminy's journal while also realising a lot more things as well like finding a Data Riku who's actually the journal itself. That may sound weird, but play the game yourself to know what I mean. So let's go over the few problems I have with the game first because, remember when I did my ranking of all the Kingdom Hearts games, I put this game at number 6 and one of the reasons why is because there are some problems. So, let's go over those. Firstly, and probably the biggest problem in this is that the platforming is so bad. I mean, really, really bad. Especially in the System Sector parts and you have to go everywhere and there are these huge walls everywhere and you have to do specific objectives and wages to get out.

And some of these Heartless are so unfair with how strong they are like the Eliminator from the System Sectors as well.
Image result for kingdom hearts re:coded fighting
They're supposed to look like the Defenders Heartless and this thing is way to strong. Sure you can beat it and it doesn't kill you instantly, but still. And you also lose too much SP. Another problem I have is the levelling up. Wow, I've had this game ever since it came and I've played it a lot and I'm only on level 35. The amount of experience you have to get and the amount of Heartless you have to fight is so ridiculous. And a lot of the objectives in the worlds here are also hard to figure out on your own. Especially in Wonderland. And now that we have that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff. The story, of course being part of the Kingdom Hearts story, is going to be fantastic, the fighting, while some isn't great, some is and it's a lot of fun when it is. The twists as well are really good, especially when you realise that what's going on is that the real King Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Jiminy are actually in the journal itself too. And the Zero/One Keyblade is one of my favourite Keyblades in the whole series. It's also cool to see these different worlds in a different way. And when I say that I mean because in each world, there are many different objectives and ways you have to do the thing in the worlds like when you have to catch Iago in time in Agrabah or when you have to do different kinda round like things in Olympus Coliseum because it looks different with the round which are called layers and it's cool to go through these different ones. And it's also cool to have Hercules and Cloud as partners for that. And I really like a lot of these bosses and I really like the Score Attack options where you can go back and fight the bosses. I especially like the Data Roxas fight. I already said that that's my favourite fight in this whole game. The voice cast is still amazing and the whole tie-in to the ending of Kingdom Hearts 2 is also great. Watch. You may not get it if you haven't played the games, but still watch this.
I know all of that may seem confusing if you haven't played the games and the people that Data Naminé was talking about were Roxas, Axel, the real Naminé, Xion, Ven, Aqua and Terra. And that secret ending is beyond awesome. It's a tie-in to Dream Drop Distance and it made a lot of people really excited when they saw it then. Especially when they understood that Yen Sid was talking about Sora and Riku doing the Mark of Mastery exam which is what Aqua and Terra did in Birth By Sleep. That is awesome. And even with all those problems I mentioned before, I kinda find this game to be a little underrated. It's kinda hard to explain. So overall, I think that this game, while flawed, is still really enjoyable and another one I really like and love some parts. And, that's my review for Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded. Thank you all for reading and please go play this if you haven't already and please comment down below to tell me what you thought of this review and forward to my final Kingdom Hearts review next, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and then 0.2.

Avengers: Infinity War first look

Well, that just happened. So a few hours ago Marvel released a video of what Infinity War is going to be like and some of the crew behind it talking about it too. This has made me a lot more excited for the movie. Which is really saying something because Infinity War is my most anticipated movie of all time and so the more information we get, the more I'm of course going to get a lot more excited. It looks really cool and the actors seem really excited too. And so, here it is and I hope you all enjoy.
