In a special hour-long crossover with The Simpsons, the Griffins meet the Simpson family when they end up in Springfield after their car is stolen. Stewie takes lessons in pranks and skateboarding from Bart, while Lisa discovers - to her annoyance - that Meg is as good at playing the saxophone as she is. Peter bonds with Homer as they locate the missing car, but then they fight after Peter loses his job when Pawtucket Patriot is revealed to be a copy of Duff Beer.

Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities. Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.
The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
The live-action remake brings adventure and shows viewers why representation is important in a Disney Princess movie.
At least we got the original cast back, right? Not even that saves it. None of them could bring a sliver of hope to this special. Rather, they bring dread as we witness the light leaving from their eyes.
One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.
