Most Heartbreaking Kids Movies
So the genre of children’s movies or kids movies is vast and there are many entries to it. Some are musical and fun, some are about nothing, some thrive off of cheap jokes and take no thought process to watch at all. But sometimes, very occasionally there is an entrance into the kids movie genre that is heavy and quite emotional. Now these are arguably the best kids movies, the ones that teach something and cause everyone that watches them (not just kiddos) to have a strong emotional reaction. This can be said for very few kids movies but we are going to list out the most emotional and sometimes heartbreaking movies for kids.

Underrated Children's Movies
With about a million children’s movies out there, and Disney really dominating that particular market, it's really easy for great movies to get overlooked. So here I am with some of my favorite, underrated children’s movies that I consider must-watches. Now these are mostly movies that I don’t think enough children get shown but this list can’t be a million words long so we are omitting literally every studio Ghibli movie even though we should show all children all of those movies all of the time.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
The post-renaissance era for Disney was actually a bit rough. We had some absolutely incredible movies that definitely stood the test of time. And then we had others that probably should have just stayed ideas. Either way the post-renaissance era of Disney produced 11 films that are surprisingly easy to rank.

Ranking Disney Movies by Eras
I call the Renaissance era the Broadway era of Disney. Disney has brought several shows to the great white way and they are all from this era here. The most singable music and the most memorable songs have come from these 10 movies. It also ushered in a new era of animation that is somewhat smoother and uses far brighter colors than previous animation.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
The Bronze Age of Disney took place from 1970 to 1988. Though it was also a solid era of filmmaking it is slightly easier to rank then the silver age. The Bronze Age however has arguably more nostalgia tied to it for Millennials so this list may be slightly less impartial. This era also contains 8 movies as this was before Disney had expanded and started cranking out movies like there was no tomorrow. So here we go, the Bronze era of Disney.

Ranking Disney Movies by Era
The Silver Age of Disney took place from 1950-1959 and consisted of 8 films, most of which are still pretty popular today. I would argue that this is the first era of Disney that stood the test of time. Even 64 years later the Silver Age of Disney remains the era that really solidified Disney as a household name. This is the era that led to the notary and consistency of Disney as a studio. Now I will say that because of the major increase in quality during this era it is rather difficult to rank them because there are no bad movies, only good and better ones.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
Wartime Continuing our ranking of Disney movies by era we will move into Wartime Disney. There seemed to be some deadtime between the Golden Age and the Silver Age where the only movies produced were ones that people now have largely forgotten about. Many people gloss over this era because it really didn’t produce anything of note. This era of movies are often not even in discussions surrounding Disney movies. But I will not skip an era so we are ranking the 6 movies of the wartime Disney era.

Ranking Disney Movies By Era
We are going to rank Disney movies. However I really don't think you can actually compare something like Snow White to something like Frozen. The worlds they were made in are very very different and context is important to critique. So we are going to do this one era at a time.

Emmy Nominations
Okay so when I covered the Emmy nominations I said that the only show I had actually watched was The Last of Us, and as a media journalist I know that is not sufficient. So I have powered through some of the other nominated shows so that I can give a well rounded and honest view on my predictions. I will say right off the bat that I did center on the dramas as that is more my genre of interest. So here are my predictions and hopes for the Emmy awards this year.

White Lotus
The first season was a whole lot of nothing. Lots happened but there was no plot and I actually was not that impressed with most of the performances, though that could be due to the shows lack of story. But as season 2 was Emmy nominated, I have to finish the show so here we go with season 2.

White Lotus
One of the most decorated shows for Emmy nominations is White Lotus. As it is my mission to watch all of the Emmy nominated shows I decided to start here. I have heard some mixed reviews (I mean what else is the internet for?), but I already love the casting and I am intrigued by the idea. So I am going to power through both seasons of the show, so here we go with my first watch of White Lotus.

Ranking Disney Sequels
Okay so a lot of Disney animated sequels were straight to DVD experiences and significantly less effort was put into them. However some of them are great nostalgic watches and have incredible music (which is how I judge all disney movies anyway). So here we go. I am going to rank all of Disney’s animated sequels from worst to best.
