Once Upon a Time

 Hello my lovelies,

Well I've done it again, got myself hooked into another television series. This one is called Once Upon a Time.

Once Upon a Time is an American fairytale drama set in the fictional town of Storybrooke. Those who live here are actually characters from various fairy tales but have been sent into the 'real world' by the evil queen after she cursed everyone, which meant they no longer remembered who they were but instead played the parts of everyday people in a town that is very special.

It may sound silly to say it, but Once Upon a Time just seems so magical (not just because of the magic included within the story), I love watching the characters in the real world and seeing flashbacks of who they actually are from the fairy tales. There are times when you can even figure out who is meant to be who before seeing flashbacks into their past, like Pinocchio for example. So much happens and it can really suck you in as you wait to see if the curse gets broken returning the forgotten memories or not. Obviously each character has their own story as to who they were in the past and who the curse has made them become, but the overall plot line is that the curse needs to be broken to allow people to remember, but it takes a lot of believing in magic and hope that the curse will be broken, and the evil queen beaten.

I've just finished the first series and I'm looking forward to what comes next as I continue watching. Its almost as if it could be another Disney story, just with a larger cast of main characters. Its such a lovely programme to watch and just reminds me that it doesn't matter what age you are, you can still enjoy things about princes, princesses and magic, and yes I know that sounds childish but everyone has something they love, and for some its Disney and fairy tales. The stories are really mixed and includes so much like broken family issues, relationship breakdowns, and people being set up for crimes they didn't commit. It almost has something for everyone but it can take a bit of getting into and used to before you can really enjoy each characters back story.

I think it has become a new favourite, and would recommend it to anyone that loves stories like this and fairy tales. I love watching it to relax but it always makes you look forward to what is going to be discovered next and how the plan to break the curse goes.

If you've seen the first episode and you're not too sure about it just watch another couple, it might just get you hooked.

That's all for now, hope you all have a lovely day wherever you are but until next time, thanks for reading :) x

'Its like spooning a warm marshmallow'... Big Hero 6!

 Hello my lovelies,

First things first, if you haven't already seen Big Hero 6 then why not? Go see it now. I'll try to avoid spoilers although I apologise if this is then boring without spoilers but I don't want to ruin it for those that haven't seen it yet, I'll keep it to a minimum. As the film has only just been released here in the UK I wouldn't be surprised if not too many of you have seen it yet, but you definitely should go and watch it. Its a Disney movie so you instantly know it'll be brilliant, plus its great for all ages.

Big Hero 6 is, as I said, brilliant. It's exciting, adventurous, hilarious, and even includes some super hero action. Basically I loved it. It focuses on a young boy called Hiro Hamada who loves anything robotic, and spends his time competing in bot-fights with a robot he created himself. His older brother Tadashi, also into robotics and techy things, is the creator of the personal care assistant robot called Baymax, but sadly gets caught in a fire trying to save someone from his university. This obviously has major effects on Hiro (I won't go into the spoilers of his earlier life), and for a while its as if he lost interest with robotics and science due to this event.

However, when Hiro discovers that someone has stolen something that he created, he can't help but get involved with the help of Baymax, and his brothers university friends to later form Big Hero 6 in order to help people just as Tadashi wished for when he made Baymax. Much like his name suggests, Hiro and his friends become the heroes of the film.

Baymax, the 'soft marshmallow' robot is such a lovely character and is the type of friend that everyone needs. Although he is just metal parts put together, he gains a personality of his own that makes him such a loving robot, and you can't help but get attached to him throughout the film.

Plus if you're a fan of Dan and Phil from Radio 1 and YouTube, that gives you another reason to go and see the film as they had the chance to voice two of the characters. Although they were only minor roles I still think its really cool that they had the chance to get involved.

Its obviously still only the beginning of the year but I can see Big Hero 6 making an appearance in my list of favourite films of 2015 at the end of the year. Baymax has become another favourite character and I very much want my own Baymax.

I would happily recommend this to anyone and everyone, its got a bit of everything, plus its Disney and if you don't like Disney then you're crazy. Take my word for it and get yourselves to the cinema to see it, you won't regret it.

Sorry if its been a bit of a less interesting post but its still a new film so I didn't want to ruin it for people. So you have my thoughts and opinions, now go form yours and let me know if you enjoy it just as much as I did.

Until next time, thanks for reading :) x
