2023 Just Another Film Blog Awards

It’s once again time for the Oscars. In 2019 I decided to start my own film awards the JAFB Awards and I received an overwhelming response! So, I am very happy to share with you the winners of The JABF Awards 2023. You should probably know that I my issue with the Oscars is their lack of diversity not just in gender, race and background but in genre - I give awards to the films I enjoyed over the past year, most of which are popular movies.  2023 was a huge year for film, the first year post covid where all films scheduled to release at the cinema did so. It was a huge year for franchises and superhero movies however this success is not reflected in the Oscar nominations - not that I'm surprised. Diversity wise the Oscars is making no huge moves to change, with most nominations and awards going to white males in general - the majority of the best picture nominations feature male leads and no female directors have been nominated. The Oscars year on year highlight the lack of equalit

Frozen 2 Trailer Reaction

The first Frozen 2 teaser trailer was released today and omg! I haven't done a trailer reaction post before but I got so excited by this teaser that I just had to. Below is the trailer, so if you haven't seen it yet give it a watch and then read on for my reaction.


  • Okay so I first noticed the new darker tone - this is something we have never seen in a Disney Princess movie before and I love it. 
  • Oh wow the new animation style is crazy good! It looks like Disney is changing up its animation style again (Last time they did this we got Tangled which is a spectacular movie). 
  • The water looks crazy realistic.
  • Elsa has a new outfit which is so pretty (I love new princess outfits).
  • So before she gets to training in the water Elsa puts her hair in  a pony tail - I have said this for so long, when someone with long hair has to focus they tie their hair up - they don't leave it flying in the air as they fight aliens! So I shouted finally at my computer upon noticing this. 
  • So Elsa's parents died at Sea, what if she's trying to find out what happened to them.
  • Will we get to see Ariel?
  • Elsa certainly has control over her powers now.
  • How much time has passed?
  • Anna has a new outfit too!
  • Awwwhhh look at all the Reindeers and Sven. 
  • Ooh its Autumn - look at that awesome animation. 
  • Where is that rock place Anna is fighting her way through - I don't like this. 
  • Look at Elsa using her powers to save herself and Olaf from fire/gas? 
  • Also this trailer is so pretty.
  • Okay so my guess is someone else has powers.
  • Who is that getting thrown in the air. 
  • Yes an epic character line up shot and a camera spin that reveals a valley halfway between Winter and Autumn. A picture perfect moment.
  • No don't go into the dark shadowy woods - have they never seen a horror film or Pretty Little Liars? 
  • I actually gasped when Anna takes Kristoff's sword and swipes. 

Honestly this is a crazy engaging trailer, there is only one word: Elsa says 'Okay' and thats it. The music is great and uses notes from the first films score. Now to watch the trailer over and over again.
