Hello everybody. It's Emmanuel again, with another movie review on the latest Disney movie. Who has seen the new Disney movie, The Sorcerer's Apprentice? It was just released on Wednesday, July 14. This new move showed a series of action, adventure, summer romance, and magic all combined to make what Jon Turteltaub and Jerry Brukheimer are made of. It was released two days earlier from its original date, July 16. Although it is Rated-PG, I don't really recommend this movie for younger audiences for its mild violence, mild language, and mild humor. I only recommend this for those that can handle it like ages (9 through)10 and older who could also understand the story. I loved the idea for what these characters in the movie are fighting for what they believed in. Also the summer romance has been hitting everybody for a college kid and a sorcerer.
I still remember when I saw Fantasia and my favorite was when Mickey was the sorcerer's apprentice. The scene, the story, and the orchestral music really blended. It's hard to imagine that the cartoon kept in touch with the real world until today. With all of the things I have mentioned before, the technology made it come alive. The shifting cars, alive gorgoyles, real dragons, dragons that turn into a ring, bull statues come to life, cleaning mops and brooms, and all of the magic are all in this movie. It reached 95% of my expectations and my head calculating the movie up to 4.5 stars. This really is the "coolest job ever."

World of Color Review
What's up everybody. Just came from a weekend at Disneyland Resort. I took a long rest and I am finally back. If you want to know what I did during the vacation, you can go to my Twitter account. I went there mostly because I wanted to see the new water spectacular, World of Color, that is now showing in Disney's California Adventure Park. On the night of the show, I had a slight headache, but I didn't feel very well. I just took a Tylenol and headed back to the park from the hotel because I knew that it would be worth watching it and I went to Disneyland Resort just for it. In the end, the show was higher than my expectations and it was definately was worth it. I was lucky to buy the World of Color Picnic Meals since it came with reserved tickets and I got the best seats.
As I took the best seats, the lights went black all of a sudden and in front of me, water, color, and fire danced. This new show that premiered to the public on June 11, 2010, this was my first opening year show in Disneyland Resort. I couldn't believe it. World of Color showed a lot of emotion, joy, and heart as it shows snippets from old and new classic Disney movies along with effects like fire and "colored" water. My family and I really enoyed the show too. The water really has feeling to its movements along with the story. It shows love, joy, adventure, mystery, anger, and depressed. The music was also another thing too.
As World of Color gets more popular everyday, you could hear the OOOOHs, the AAAAAAHHs, the gasps, the hoots, and the hollers. You could even hear people rom different ages name the movie or the characters as they watch the show. If not, they would usually cheer. I definately, really, definately, (to emphasize really) loved this show. It is absolutely amazing. The Imagineers also said that what ever they didn't come up with yet, will happen in the future. For viewing spots you could, buy the picnic meal along with reserved seating tickets, get a FastPass at Grizzly River Rapids, have a reservation to Ariel's Grotto or Wine Country Trattoria along with preffered viewing tickets, or find seats around Paradise Bay (not guaranteed for satisfaction). Hope you guys will experience this new water spectacular.
P.S. I'll upload my favorite part of the show on my YouTube channel or on TwitVid.

Toy Story 3: Movie Review
As I saw Toy Story 3 last night, I was expecting a lot as it has been 15 years since the very first movie of the series. The film met every one of my expectations. (In this review, I will try my best not to reveal any spoilers.) As I took my 3-D glasses off in some scenes just to see how it wuld look, some scenes in the movie are not neccessary for 3-D, but the 3-D still isn't bad. It showed a lot of heart and emotion that just made the third of the series brilliant and emotional. Ever since the very first movie, Toy Story really does give the "toy" view and their real hard struggles for their owners. It is very true what Pixar and Disney said, "A toy can be lost, but it could be found. A toy could be broken, but it could be fixed. When a toy gets stolen, you can recover it." In Toy Story 3, "But you can't fix the outgrown by the child."
I have read a few other reviews that the movie, Toy Story 3, shows a very dark side and is not recommended for little kids. I agree and disagree to that comment. I do agree that it shows a little bit of darkness in the movie and it is not recommended for smaller viewers. Because it is rated G, it doesn't mean it guarantees it is for younger viewers, so it is perfectly fine. For every movie in the Toy Story series, there is always a villain in every movie. Toy Story had an evil boy. Toy Story 2 had an evil toy that experienced not being played with or admired through many years. Toy Story 3 had an emotional toy that went through a lot as the toy was being replaced and his heart was broken with anger.
The story really does leave off perfectly as your old characters from the first two movies are back while some are sold to other owners. It shows how an outgrowth of a boy turns and goes to college. As I heard and read that many of the things in the movie were based on the real feelings and actions by the people who created the movie. That's what makes Disney and Pixar nothing like any other animated companies. I loved the film very much. It shows that friendship can never be broken apart. No matter what. This is what makes people want to watch the movie again. Toys who struggle through their life, facing obstacles that keep their way from Andy, and the heart and emotion of a toy that just makes you want to cry. In the end of the movie, I just thought to myself, "Has it been 15 years of this great story?" I really wanted to see it again. I even brought my parents just to have them regain the memory when they took me to see Toy Story. I wanted to cry, but I hardly blinked through the movie and I still wore the 3-D glasses so my eye was dry. It really does bring memories that connect with the audiences in our world. I also felt guilty for waiting this long for a great movie. I completely recommend this movie and give it 4.78 stars. From then on I knew that, "No toy gets left behind."
