Film Critic, Age 12<br><br>If you haven\u2019t heard by now, there\u2019s a new Disney film that\u2019s sure to become a favorite holiday classic\u2014it\u2019s the magical movie called <em>Godmothered<\/em>. This filmis a fun look at the world of Fairy Stepmothers yet also a sad realization that not enough people nowadays believe in magic or that magical things can happen if you wish for them with all your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sE-4NsCN63I\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Set at Christmastime, <em>Godmothered <\/em>is a comedy about Eleanor (Jillian Bell), a young, inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training, who learns that the future of godmothers is coming to an end forever. Feeling that she can save herself and her fellow fairy godmothers from unemployment or from getting new jobs as tooth fairies, she decides to show the world that people still need fairy godmothers, magic, and a chance to live \u201chappily ever after,\u201d in their lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does Eleanor help Kate, the single mom who is the focus of her mission, as well as helping Kate\u2019s kids along the way, but they all eventually end up helping to boost Eleanor\u2019s confidence and belief that she can still make someone\u2019s dream come true.\u00a0 Together they help Eleanor believe that maybe she still has a chance at keeping fairy godmothers employed, even in modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8V9uAXxDHTM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Like nearly all Disney movies,\u00a0<em>Godmothered<\/em>\u00a0has that look and feel of something magical on and off screen. From the sets decorated for the holidays, the snow on the ground, to the big Christmas parade, visually, this movie keeps you in the holiday mood the whole time. Eleanor&#8217;s Fairy-Godmother\u00a0dress will remind you of those worn in past Disney movies, and the holiday music mixed with wand waving special effects all add to the fun. You can tell from the on-camera performances of the actors that not only were they having a lot of fun making this movie, but when the cameras stopped, it feels like the fun\u00a0 continued\u00a0as well. I love how Eleanor keeps as cheery and sugary sweet as you a storybook fantasy character might and it was fun to see her react to people, places, things and events in the &#8220;real world&#8221; that she was not accustomed to experiencing in her own world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of this film is to never give up. That believing you can achieve your goals and staying determined to make them a reality is the one true way to make them happen. In <em>Godmothered<\/em>, Eleanor realizes her original plans weren\u2019t going to happen as she anticipated, but she found a way to work around them and still create a \u201chappily ever after\u201d in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Godmothered<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. It\u2019s hilarious, heartwarming and a magical holiday film for all ages<em>. Godmothered<\/em> premieres exclusively on Disney+ on December 4, 2020. Don\u2019t miss it.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young and unskilled fairy godmother ventures out on her own to prove her worth by tracking down a young girl whose request for help was ignored.
