Toy Story 3 recently became the highest-grossing animated film in history, and now it can further boast that record by becoming the first animated film in history to make a billion dollars at the worldwide box-office.

Toy Story 3 now currently stands as the sixth highest-grossing film ever (just above The Dark Knight and just under Time Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which it is due to surpass).

Congratulations to Pixar for making such a wonderful, wonderful film and finding such success through it.

May Toy Story 3’s gross reach to infinity, and beyond!

Studio Ghibli’s Tales from Earthsea opens in US theaters this Friday. So why not look up your local theaters and see if it is playing near you?

Disney has launched the official website for Tales From Earthsea which can be found here.

The website currently only features a (really cool) trailer for the movie, but is sure to add more in the coming weeks.

Tales From Earthsea will be released in theaters August 13th.

*Just as before, I have not read the book on which Eclipse is based, so I won’t be making any comparisons between the two.*

Vampires and werewolves and teen drama, oh my!

Eclipse is the third installment in the wildly popular “Twilight saga,” which tells a love story between human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen. But also the werewolf Jacob Black.

The books have reached a level of popularity that is very rare, you probably can’t go anywhere without hearing something about “Edward this” or “Jacob that.”

But is Eclipse really worth the hype that surrounds it? Read more
