Feminist Disney Opinions

edit: I haven’t updated this list in forever just so you know.

This does not represent all my opinions, unfortunately I often forget to update it when I should.  HOWEVER, I have been able to collect a lot of the most common questions, so take a look before you ask.  ;)

Quick Response:

  • Yes I still do movie reviews, yes you can request a movie to be reviewed, just be aware that I have about 50 requests in line so I more or less “pick out of a hat”
