Why Our Generation Will Soon Return To Our Childhood
Bing

For our generation, we grew up with some of the greatest animated “kids” movies ever, Disney of course released most of them. We had the pleasure of being the group of kids that grew up with "Toy Story," "Cars," "Finding Nemo," "Shrek," "The Incredibles," and so many others. As the years went by some of these movies had sequels, but a few never have. This being something that has come as a major disappointment to the giant fan base of these movies. New, more grown up films have been released to capture our attention, as we’ve grown older. Films like "Guardians of the Galaxy," "The Avengers" series, and even the "X-Men" series have given us the same enjoyment as those childhood films did. However it seems that everyone of us still returns to the theaters every year to see the newest kids movie anyways, hoping that it will bring us back to the good old days if you will. Hoping that maybe someday we would get to see our favorite childhood characters again.

Amazingly this summer Disney released their entire movie schedule through 2019, and oh my is it glorious! Here is the most important films that will certainly have the theaters filled with people our age, no matter if the movie is meant for 7-10 year old children.

2016:

"Zootopia" - Animated

"Captain America: Civil War"

"Jungle Book" - This is a good start!

"Alice Through the Looking Glass" - Sequel to "Alice In Wonderland"

"Finding Dora" - I think its safe to say everyone knows about this one, and we couldn't be more excited!

"Moana" - Annual Disney-Pixar Thanksgiving movie

"Rogue One" - "Star Wars" spin off / side story

2017:

"Beauty and the Beast" - Live action remake with Emma Watson

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" - Lets just hope this one is half as good as the first.



"Star Wars VIII" - I wonder what this one will do in the box office?

"Cars 3" - Couldn't we all use a little more Mater in our lives?


"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" - In the words of DJ Khalad "Another one"

"Spiderman" - Again?

"Thor: Ragnorak"

"Coco" - Annual Disney-Pixar Thanksgiving movie

2018:

"Black Panther" - New Marvel superhero

"Gigantic" - Jack and the Beanstalk remake

"Avengers: Infinity Wars" - Anyone ask for large explosions?

"Han Solo Prequel" - Second "Star Wars" spin off/ side story

"Toy Story 4" - Just a bunch of 25-year-olds watching a kids movie, don't mind us.

"Ant-man 2"

2019:

"Captain Marvel" - First female led superhero movie

"Avengers: Infinity Wars pt. 2" - How about even more explosions?

?The Incredibles 2" - Just a live look at me going to see this one.


"X-Men: Inhumans"

"Star Wars XI" - Still up in the air

There are also 4 unknown "Princess" remakes to be released before 2019 as well. With all of these it seems as if most of us will make a few trips to the theaters for Disney movies alone. All in all this list has me looking like this:

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
