LOOK: Moira Dela Torre Is the New Voice of Mulan's 'Reflection'

Dale Palisoc March 11, 2020

Bingers, are you also looking forward to the 2020 live adaptation of Walt Disney’s Mulan? I do! In fact, Mulan is my most favorite Disney movie EVER! I watched it countless times and I know the songs by heart! So, when I learned that the live-adaptation will not include the songs that we loved, I was heartbroken. I changed my mind, however, when I saw the trailer because it made sense that they did not include the songs. That does not mean that we are not going to hear them. Disney Philippines collaborated with Moira Dela Torre, the most streamed Filipino artist, for a localized version of Reflection from Mulan. We were at the launch and heard it firsthand.

REVIEW: Find Your Adventure in Onward

Dale Palisoc March 1, 2020

Do you still have the magic, Bingers? In the latest movie from Disney and Pixar, Onward, we’ll realize that we still got the magic, it’s just that no one bothers to do it anymore when there is a much more convenient way. And because of that, we have been so gotten used to the familiar and what’s right in front of us. In the world of Onward where the centaurs, pixies, and elves are no longer how we used to know them, lies an unexpected treasure waiting to be uncovered. We joined the adventure of the Lightfoot brothers and found ourselves falling off our seats from laughing one second and sobbing after. Read more …

'Mary Poppins Returns' Sparks Joy

Dale Palisoc January 13, 2019

Do you still remember a moment of pure joy, wonder, and innocence? Tell you what, Bingers. I just recently did! And there’s no other better way to start my 2019 than with Walt Disney Pictures’ Mary Poppins Returns. Most of us grew up watching Julie Andrews at the 1964 movie, Mary Poppins. It has been more than a decade since I last saw the movie so reliving the magic and music of the sequel brought back some of my happiest memories. With that, let me share with you, Bingers, my review of Mary Poppins Returns.

Dale Palisoc July 4, 2018

Alright, Bingers. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Avengers: Infinity War got most of the hype for all of the comic book movies this year.

'The Incredibles 2' Kept Up With Time

Dale Palisoc June 21, 2018

Imagine this, in 2004 I was 12 years old and graduating from elementary. At the same time, Disney-Pixar was peaking with their great animated movies with amazing storylines.

And now in 2018, 14 years after the original movie came out, Disney-Pixar delivers the much-awaited movie that a generation of moviegoers has been waiting for! Bingers, get ready for The Incredibles 2! I attended the advanced screening last June 11 at the IMAX Theatre in SM Aura Premier despite the horrible weather! Celebrities, bloggers, media, and kids but mostly millennials were at the event and our excitement was ON THE ROOF! So, was the movie worth the 14-year wait? Find out in my review!
