Hunchback of Notre Dame II… hmmm I’m on board with My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Ever After (just breathe), and I guess Ratatouille. Was the list ordered a certain way (i.e., how much you like the film)?

That’s such a good question! Thank you for assuming this list had any kind of order. Long story short, it doesn’t! When I’m putting together a list, my biggest concern is to not group too many of the same kinds of things together. I like variety! But your comment is making me think I should go back and attempt to cobble together a few sentences for these films, rather than just hope people will take my word that they’re decent.
