The Hundred-Foot Journey Movie Review + Delicious Recipes #100FootJourney

*Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I received a copy of the movie to facilitate this review. As always, all opinions are authentic and 100% my own. This post contains Affliate links*

When The Hundred-Foot Journey movie was announced I couldn't wait till it was released for the press preview and in theaters, I tried to go see it but it never worked out and I was very disappointed. I have always had a fascination with southern France and as a home cook and foodie I love seeing movies about food and family. Oh and it is directed by Steven Speilberg and Oprah Winfrey and stars Helen Mirren, based on the best-selling novel by Richard C. Morais. So, when I had the chance to review a Blu-ray + Digital HD copy I was ecstatic.

Walt Disney Animation Studios Sets Sail with "Moana"

Ron Clements and John Musker (“Aladdin,” “The Princess and the Frog”)

Helm the Epic Comedy-Adventure

{Disney Release} Walt Disney Animation Studios revealed plans for “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors' quest. In theaters in late 2016, the film is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid," "The Princess and the Frog," "Aladdin”).

“John and I have partnered on so many films—from ‘The Little Mermaid’ to ‘Aladdin’ to ‘The Princess and the Frog,’” said Clements. “Creating ‘Moana’ is one of the great thrills of our career. It’s a big adventure set in this beautiful world of Oceania."

In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.

“Moana is indomitable, passionate and a dreamer with a unique connection to the ocean itself,” Musker said. “She's the kind of character we all root for, and we can't wait to introduce her to audiences.”

New #InsideOut Trailer from #Disney #Pixar | Focused on the Magic

Meet the emotions inside your mind. "Inside Out", the movie adventure begins June 19, 2015 in theaters near you.

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
