#KittenWatches Save our Wild Isles

Goddammit, Attenborough! 😭

The music soars to the final speech, as I collapse into a sobbing, struggling to breathe, mess of tears & heart pain:

"This is our home & this is the moment. We have just enough time & just enough nature left, to save our wild isles for our children & for future generations."

#KittenWatches Wolfwalkers (2020) by Cartoon Saloon

I don't give out many 5 ⭐ ratings but WOW - this is purrfection!

This magical, stunningly hand drawn, colonisation-judging, furry, Irish folklore outing is utterly divine!! I'll be surprised & impressed if this movie doesn't end up being my favourite new watch of 2023!

Watch out, #Disney!

#KittenWatches Help (2021)

Help is set in a care home during the first months of the pandemic, in MY city! It capably & heartbreakingly highlights the true damage of ableist #covid policy & omg, it hit my trauma as a care reciever/high risk person painfully, but cathartically!

My review took a very long time to write & was a work of both love & trauma.

#KittenWatches World War Z

WWZ has some of my fave epic zombie scenes, thou the movie as a whole doesn't live up to them. But... a zombie apoc that didn't wanna infect ME, a very ill person? I'd stand in the middle of a Z infested street screaming "TELL ME IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD NOW, YOU FUCKERS!!", cackling in laughter!

Cos fuck, maybe I can actually survive THIS one? 😂

It's been a pretty great movie week actually!

My name's the same over there!

Woah. I found out there's a movie set in my city about a caregiver in a care home, during the pandemic...

This might be horrifically close to home in many ways, but I feel like I should watch it to review?

Has anyone disabled seen it? Any care receivers? Wondering if it's good rep or horrifying, before I try it, so I can steel myself? 😬

Finding Nemo easily found it's place on my #KittenWatches Actually Good Disability Representation list on #Letterboxd! 🥰

#KittenWatches Finding Nemo (through a disability lens)

I've tried to unpack the #disability rep in finding Nemo & it turned into one of the hugest reviews I've ever written about a movie. 😆 It's taken since Sept to write!

Having not 1 but at least *11* characters who're in some way "disabled", Finding Nemo teaches us about disability management, acceptance & how harmful ableism is.

#KittenWatches Lost & Found

This animated short near destroyed my heart! A wee, loving knitted dinosaur unravelled himself to save his beloved knitted fox & I felt like I was unraveling, myself, watching! Why do animators want to break my heart? Holy motherfucking shitballs, this one got me! 😭

#KittenWatches Paranorman

I adore this movie on three levels... For the story itself, the incredible stop motion animation & for the disability/neurodivergency allegory I see in it.

Paranorman is deep, dark, emotional, & laugh out loud funny!

"You don't become a hero by being normal". Indeed.

#KittenWatches Margarita With a Straw

TLDR?
God, there's so many beautiful, empowering layers of rep in Margarita: Disability, Indian culture, queerness, sexuality! It puts Hollywood wholly to SHAME! The disabled joy alone is worth watching for! This is the bar for Hollywood & co to rise to!

#KittenWatches Run (2020) really was a surprisingly great cowatch with my friend last week, with some complex but impressive #DisabilityRepresentation!

My own review is still in the works, and this carer abuse survivor may need another watch to really write it to my satisfaction, but here's a great review from DisMoviePod! 👇

As much as the #DisabilityRepresentation in Spinning Out has been really complex with some good & some bad, I'm *really* digging the scenes where she tells everyone the truth about her Bipolar instead of hiding it any longer! That's some beautiful rep! 😍

I watched an old favourite #zombie movie today - The Girl With All The Gifts.

I really appreciate this unusually thought-provoking story, with such an incredible young girl at it's centre!

One more episode of The Last of Us to be released, then I can finally binge that shit! 🔥

I HATE these slow releases week by week. With my memory these days, it's just absolutely impossible to keep proper track of what's happening over *months*!
