One of the best animated movies I've seen lately, far better than some forced representation, family friendly drama. A heartfelt thanks to all the people behind this movie, especially the animators, the shape shifting scenes were done so seamlessly, made me wish to be a shape shifter! The voiceover actors were chosen perfectly, Chloe killed it as Nimona. Riz and Eugene were two other gems.

There was chaos, there was destruction, there was fun, but most important, there was heart too. In places i got so emotional cause it does hit u hard when u realize the depth of the situation. Love the movie, love Nimona and so sorry for myself for not being able to watch it on the big screen.

The two seasons of Bridgertons made me pretty disappointed and i didn't wanna continue the series. When Queen Charlotte was announced, i was thinking the makers are just milking the series. Didn't wanna see it. Then everywhere in social media, there was nothing but praise for this spin off which actually didn't happen with the first 2 seasons. I was intrigued. I binged it and i want to say i liked it so much !!! I don't care bout if it's historically correct or not because its fantasy fiction and it was well made, that's what matters.

The casting of the young Charlotte was just brilliant. India was just the younger version of Golda from every single way. The sass, the fearlessness, the twinkle in her mischievous eyes, so uncannily similar. Young George was no less. Who could say this is Corey's first time acting in such a role !!! And their chemistry !!! U feel invested from the very first smile George bestowed upon Charlotte because when they smile, u smile, when they are distressed, u feel it too. And that's what had been missing from the first 2 seasons too, chemistry between the leads and acting talent. There were better actors who just overacted. But here, stellar performance from Golda, India and Corey.

And i can't not mention the love story of Reynolds and Brimsley, i was so rooting for them. Both Freddie and Sam were so believably good as lovers, i was pretty invested in them. So when Old Brimsley was dancing on his own, reliving his dance with Reynolds, i did tear up.

But my most favorite scene has to be the under the bed scene, just you and me. Both times.

Good acting, good direction, good dialogues do wonders for a show and this show has proven that, unlike "i burn for u" "u r the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires".

Though i could have done without the Danbury drama/ Violet drama. Instead i would have loved to see more of Charlotte- George, Brimsley - Reynolds.
