It’s finally here! These are always my favorite posts of the year. The 2019 Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Slate is here and it looks SOOOO good!!! There are several live action adaptations of childhood favorites (Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King), two Marvel Studios movies (Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame), Disneynature (Penguins), several sequels (Toy Story 4, Frozen 2, and Star Wars Episode IX) and more! It looks like 2019 is going to be a great year for family movies.

Which one are you most excited about? If I had to pick I would say Avengers: Endgame because I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happens next. I watched Avengers: Infinity War again this weekend and of course cried at the end so I can’t wait for the sequel. I am also excited for Aladdin as the animated version was always one of my favorites. Of course Toy Story 4 and The Lion King are on my list, too. And Captain Marvel because I’m excited to see a Marvel movie with a female lead.

With the help of his loyal protector Butler, Artemis sets out to find him, and in doing so uncovers an ancient, underground civilization—the amazingly advanced world of fairies.
