A lesser known story of a brilliant mind. Yes, its disney. No, there are no princesses. Yes, go watch it.

This is by far my favourite movie. It really shows how beautiful a mother’s love can be.

A feel-good movie with a lot of originality. It’s not a corny sports movie or a tear-fueled family story; it’s something altogether new.
