Was "Descendants: Under the Sea" Worth the Hype?

Was "Descendants: Under the Sea" worth the hype? The 10 minute short movie/musical disappointed some fans, including me. Teasers made the film seem story driven and as if it would act as a connector between "Descendants 2" and "Descendants 3" (which is also known as The Big Sleep) which is set to be released summer of 2019. The short movie turned out to be yet another teaser for Descendants 3, leaving fans like me disappointed. It turned out to be just another promotional video.

Does Analysis Kill Enjoyment?

Does analysis kill enjoyment? No, it doesn't have to. You can analyze and criticize something you love, but that doesn't mean you have to lessen your love for that thing. Everything has its good and bad parts, and it's important to recognize, accept, and embrace all the different attributes something has. Reviewing something that is meant for entertainment can be hard and time taking, but the end result of seeing all of your ideas collected together is very satisfying, whether your opinion of the item is positive or negative. Analyzing something should only make you more passionate towards your opinion or that thing. Analyzing an item doesn't necessarily have to kill your enjoyment, it will only make things less fun if you let it. What are your thoughts?

About Me

Hello, my name is Anika, and welcome to my blog. This is just a little bit about myself. I'm 12 years old and I'm currently in 8th grade. "Echo" by Pam Muñoz and "The Thing About Jellyfish" by Ali Benjamin are two of my favorite books of all-time. I enjoy both reading and writing. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are two of my favorite musical artists as of right now. My top five songs currently are: "Send it On" by Disney's Friends for Change ft. Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and the Jonas Brothers, "Kill Em With Kindness (Acoustic)" by Selena Gomez, "Shouldn't Come Back" by Demi Lovato, "World of Chances" by Demi Lovato, and "Nightingale" by Demi Lovato. I spend my free time watching Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and with friends and family. My favorite video game of all time is "Unravel" by Coldwood. I also play tennis for my school. This has been a little bit about me, and thank you...
