Wondering if ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ is scary for kids? Or if the sexual content is toned down in this sequel? Here’s a spoiler-free parent review of ‘Hocus Pocus 2.’
Hocus Pocus seems to be one of those movies everyone loves, or loves to hate. You either grew up loving it, or never understood the hype. Either way, you’re probably considering watching the long-awaited sequel Hocus Pocus 2, which premiers on Disney+ September 30th. Here’s a spoiler-free review sharing what families need to know.
We are finally getting our 2nd Black Disney Princess. A black Ariel! And this time we may actually get to see her face on the screen for more than 22 minutes (Tiana, I got you!).
When I first heard Disney was doing a live action version of The Little Mermaid I let out an exasperated sigh. Another live action remake from our childhood, can we please get a new hobby? But I’ll admit, after Aladdin, they’re bringing me back around a bit. Then, today they announced Halle Bailey as Ariel.
I read the emailed press release from my phone. “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle [Bailey] possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance — plus a glorious singing voice — all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” says director Rob Marshall.
I’ll admit I didn’t recognize the name when I opened the email but as soon as I saw her picture I gasped. I turned to my husband who was laying next to me and said “Look who they cast as Ariel!”
Summer. Just hearing the word evokes sun-soaked memories of the past. Nobody can deny that last-day-of-school feeling, no matter how long it’s been since you were a young student. After more than a year of turmoil and isolation, we’re ready to slip on our flip-flops, grab our floaties, and make the most of every summery moment!
