'The Polar Express' (2004)
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.

The regime of the Nazi Party inflicted terror, destruction, and brutal horrors throughout the Third Reich. Ideas of making Germany great again indoctrinated the German people to support them indefinitely, hiding the mass slaughter of human life behind their convincing propaganda campaigns. Hitler and his disturbed Henchmen made this genocide possible, each man as deranged as the next. Their dedication to the Fuhrer was absolute, and to gain his validation they were willing to do anything.
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman will be happiest if she marries a man with a good fortune, similar upbringing, matching attractiveness levels, and compatible politics.
In this short film, writer/director Nikita Hattangady focuses on Jai, a starving artist rooted in the latter category. Though unhoused, he works hard.
So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.
Steven Spielberg's West Side Story (2021) improves on the original's terrible representation, poorly written romance, and more. --> check out reviews & film summary
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
