Seemingly out of nowhere, a Disney Christmas film dropped on Disney+ last November. Is it a holiday classic to be watched for generations to come? Or was there a reason it appeared out of nowhere? Let’s take a look at Dashing Through the Snow!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

A Tiger Walks (1964)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

In 2011, the owner of Ohio’s Muskingum County Animal Farm, Terry Thompson, committed suicide, but not before letting loose 50 of his 56 exotic animals he owned into the wild. These animals ranged from lions to tigers to monkeys. What happened next was a nail-biting situation wherein law enforcement had to go hunt these wild animals to protect the public from harm. Citizens were warned to stay indoors and strange occurrences took place such as a woman watching in horror as a wild cat chased her pet horse and signs on the highway informing drivers to be cautioned for exotic animals!

Imagine driving down the highway and seeing that sign!

In the end, law enforcement managed to kill most of the escaped animals (a few were eaten by the other animals) and the panic was over. Ever since then, I’ve always wanted someone to make a movie about this incident! It would be incredibly suspenseful, thrilling, and even delve into the world of horror somewhat. Alas to date, nobody has made a film about this incident, so I must satisfy my curiosity with other fictional films about wild animals on the loose.

This brings me to today’s Disney film about an escaped circus tiger, A Tiger Walks, directed by Norman Tokar. Read on for my review of the film.

Haunted Mansion (2023)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

Disney tried making a feature film based on my favorite Disney ride with Eddie Murphy in 2003. Long story short, it wasn’t all that great. Since then, Disney has tried to make another Haunted Mansion film, even having Guillermo del Toro working on it at one point. We’ve finally gotten that newer Haunted Mansion film, directed by Justin Simien though rather than Guillermo del Toro.

Does it do justice to the amazing Disney ride? Or is it at least better than the Eddie Murphy version? Read on to find out!
