The adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s best-selling young adult fantasy Artemis Fowl is one Disney project that hasn’t inspired much fanfare. From the film’s announcement to its first trailer to its silent release on Disney+ yesterday, the lack of excitement around the movie from both fans and creatives seemed telling. I personally didn’t read any of the… Continue reading REVIEW: Artemis Fowl (2020)

REVIEW: Scoob! (2020)
