Hi everyone, Toby's dad here again with another update from Toby via Camp Kodiak. Title:  Jungle Book (2016) The 2016 remake of Disney's Jungle Book was impressive by CGI standards.  This is how I see it. A young boy is raised by wolves led by Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito in Breaking Bad) and Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o in 12 Years a Slave) until John Luther (Idris Elba on Luther) comes after him.  His mentor, Mohandas Gandhi (Ben Kingsley in Gandhi) decides to take him to a man-village for safety.  Along the way, the boy befriends Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray in Ghostbusters), is nearly eaten by Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson in The Avengers), and is abducted by the Count Hessian (Christopher Walken in Sleepy Hollow), who wants to learn about the "Red Flower" Let me know what you think?

Did you know that Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame  is the same story as the cult horror film The Omen ? Let me tell you why. At the suggestion of a priest (Father Spiletto; the Archdeacon), a government official (Robert Thorn; Judge Claude Frollo) adopts a baby (Damien Thorn; Quasimodo) whose mother had just died (Damien's mother, a jackal, died in childbirth; Frollo cracks Quasimodo's mother's skull against the steps of the Cathedral of Notre Dame). As the child grows up, he is seen as a monster (Damien is the Antichrist; Quasimodo is deformed), though a woman (Mrs. Baylock; Esmeralda) from a rejected demographic (Satanism; Romani) supports him (Baylock grooms Damien to rule the world; Esmeralda befriends Quasimodo, as they are both mistreated by society). Meanwhile, the monster's guardian works with a public employee (Keith Jennings; Captain Phoebus) with interest in the disliked group (Keith notices shadows of Damien's victims in his photos, including...

Did you know that The Dark Knight Rises  and Toy Story 3  are the same story? Let me tell you why. Years after the events of the second film ( The Dark Knight ;  Toy Story 2 ), the main character (Sheriff Woody; Bruce Wayne/Batman) has been living off the grid for a while (Andy has grown up and is preparing to go to college, leaving the remaining toys uncertain about their future; Batman took the blame for the crimes of DA Harvey Dent and went into hiding). Upon returning, he faces a villain (Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear; Bane) who puts the oppressed in charge (Lotso takes his pain to Sunnyside Daycare and turns it into a prison for toys; Bane takes over Gotham City and occupies it for six months). In the chaos, the hero is separated from his friends (Woody is picked up by a little girl named Bonnie Anderson while trying to escape; Bane breaks Batman's back and imprisons him in a deep, well-like prison) and ends up in a foreign location (Bonnie's house; The Pit), where he lea...

Lilo & Stitch  is one of my favourite Disney movies. It's about a young girl who adopts a strange-looking dog, not knowing that he is an alien fugitive. This is my cast for a 2015 live-action version. Quvezhané Wallis as Lilo Pelekai Zoë Kravitz as Nani Pelekai Laurence Fishburne as Cobra Bubbles Jason Momoa as David Kawena Michael Shannon as Agent Bradley Crowe Tom Hiddleston as Agent Benedict Costello Alfred Molina as Dr. Jumba Jookiba (voice and motion capture) Jason Sudeikis as Agent Pleakley (voice and motion capture) Featuring Gerard Butler as Captain Gantu (voice and motion capture) with Judi Dench as the Grand Councilwoman (voice and motion capture) and Andy Serkis as Stitch/Experiment 626 (voice and motion capture)

RED is an action movie about a retired CIA agent who teams up with some former colleagues to survive after an attempt on his life. This is how I see it. John McClane (Bruce Willis in Die Hard ) is a retired CIA agent who needs help from his former colleagues God (Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty ), Cyrus "the Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich in Con Air ), Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren in The Queen ), and Col. William Stryker (Brian Cox in X2: X-Men United ). Also, Éomer (Karl Urban in The Lord of the Rings ) and Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon in Fantastic Four ) appear as a CIA agent and the Vice President, respectively. Awesome.

Sometimes, I try to bring non-Disney animated movies to life in live-action form. Today, I'll discuss my cast for DreamWorks Animation's The Road to El Dorado . It's about two con artists who get their hands on a map leading to the fabled city of gold, El Dorado, where they are mistaken for gods. Oscar Isaac as Tulio Chris Hemsworth as Miguel Lupita Nyong'o as Chel Antonio Banderas as Chief Tannabok Benicio del Toro as Tzekel-Kan Javier Bardem as Hernan Cortes

Did you know that the 2017 live-action Beauty and the Beast  is basically M. Night Shyamalan's Split  for kids? Let me tell you why. A reclusive young man who calls himself "the Beast" (Kevin Wendell Crumb/the Prince) kidnaps an introverted young woman (Casey Cooke/Belle), along with those close to her (Marcia and Claire/Maurice), and imprisons them in his large home (Kevin kidnaps the girls and imprisons them in his underground home, intending to sacrifice them to a ruthless split personality called "the Beast"/the Beast imprisons Maurice in his castle for attempting to take a rose from his garden, and Belle, Maurice's daughter, later allows herself to be imprisoned in exchange for his freedom). During their incarceration, the captives meet their captor's equally twisted "family," (Kevin has 23 split personalities, who each take turns controlling Kevin's body/the Beast's servants have been magically transformed into inanimate objects...
