Hocus Pocus is one of my all time favorite movies. Where to begin with this movie? To call it a holiday classic would be an understatement. This all-star cast has it all; action, excitement, entertainment, comedy. It's no wonder that its become a cult phenomena in its own right. After twenty years, Disney is rolling out a sequel on their Disney+ platform so it looks like the Sanderson Sisters will fly once again!

Today's entry happens to be one of my favorite genres of movie - the Stop Motion films. It takes absolute patience, dedication and time to create of this magnitude. I've always enjoyed these kind of films, Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, the Corpse Bride, the list goes on and on. But this time of year I enjoy sitting down to watch a movie that was Stranger Things before there was even a Stranger Things. If you haven't seen ParaNorman, I highly recommend it!
