In Borrowed Plumes (1926)

Disney’s first Christmas advert, ‘From Our Family to Yours’ teaches us the magic of the holidays.

This Japanese Anime movie is about Kanna, a young girl who sets on a quest across Japan to discover her true identity.

Not every film can make a shopping mall feel both magical and menacing, but Forbidden Fruits challenges that.

When the retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale and a holiday spirit come together, viewers learn about class issues as well as perseverance despite setbacks.

“I’m always interested in exploring female fantasy, and the sexy witch is a loaded archetype that is simultaneously about men’s fears and fantasies about women, and women’s feelings of empowerment and agency.

The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.
