Strange World on Disney+ (spoilers)

[Jalapeñomel]

Have you watched this yet?

We watched it yesterday!

We watched it yesterday and loved it.

The world needs Legend, the 3 legged dog!

We saw it in theaters and watched it again yesterday on Disney plus. My kids (9 & 10) like it!

A watched it yesterday. I half watched half of it. It didn't really capture us - maybe I need to try again.

Matilda the Musical though - we've watched that twice and the songs are being sung on repeat. L was in a production of it 2 years ago, and we've loved it since.

We saw it in theaters. It was fine and fits in with this new crop of Disney movies - Turning Red, Lightyear, Luca, etc. but I still prefer the movies with music (Moana, Encanto)

We watched it yesterday. The 4yo had a lot of questions about what was happening.

I guessed pretty early on what the big plot twist was, maybe because I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett.

We watched this yesterday as well, and my kid LOOOOOVES it, to the point that he requested the music be played as he fell asleep and asked to watch it tonight on the way to daycare today. It was unexpectedly hard on me, though, in navigating Matilda's adoption by Ms. Honey. I wasn't prepared for the adoption questions DS brought up. He's just now starting to ask/figure out his world through the lens of adoption.

Oh I can imagine that would be unexpected.

We watched it last week and DD loved it.

Has anyone watched the Beauty and the Beast one yet?

[underwaterrhymes]

We just watched Matilda and all four of us loved it. The boys want to watch it again.

This movie has just been delightful. It really departs from the book (which we love), and told a lovely story.

I hate Jake Gyllenhaal so I'll probably pass even though I watch almost everything Disney.

We watched tonight and my kids LOVED IT. My youngest thought splat was hilarious.

His character isn't entirely faultless. He is positioned as a hero at first but it quickly pivots.

If y’all liked Matilda, check out your local/regional theater. This is a popular show for smaller houses, and it’s really fun on stage (and always good to support live theater!).

I bought tickets for my daughter, mom, and MIL to see Matilda when it was touring in the area years ago. None of us had heard the music (which I never do when I go to see a musical), but Matilda was one of my daughter's favorite books. We LOVED the musical so much! It was a great time! I was sad my husband didn't get to see it too so when I knew it was coming to Netflix I was so excited! We had a movie night and everyone loved it. My 8 yo started watching it randomly on the 26th because he liked it so much.

We watched Strange World last night and everyone enjoyed it. We all agreed that everyone should have a Legend and a Splat.
