Wondering if you should watch Godmothered on Disney+? This movie is not what you may expect…..in the best possible way.

Wondering if you should watch Godmothered on Disney+? This movie is not what you may expect.....in the best possible way.

Ok Disney+ fans…….let's talk Godmothered.  This fairy tale set in modern times stars Isla Fisher and Jillian Bell and when I saw the trailer….it looked cute.  I knew that it told the story of Eleanor, a fairy godmother in training who learns that the world has changed.  That most people? Don't need fairy godmothers.  In fact, most people don't even believe in happily ever after.  In the midst of her fairy godmother training……she learns that…..this may be the end of her profession and her dream.  With the best of intentions, Eleanor decides to prove everybody wrong.  She finds a letter from a 10 year old girl with her wish for happily ever after and she sets out to find her and make her dreams come true.

Apparently the letter was waylaid.  Because that little girl? Is a 40 year old single mom.  A widow.  And she gave up on that happily ever after…..quite some time ago.

Godmothered on Disney+: What This Says About Happily Ever After

“For young girls watching, you know, happy ever after doesn’t necessarily include a castle, a prince, and a dress.  It can be blessings you have in your life as you- with your family or work or…” Isla Fisher

“I think it also represents what the world is today in this-it’s-it’s not 1860 anymore. It’s-it’s not, you know, castles and all of this kind of stuff. It’s, happily ever after is what you want. It’s what you believe and-and it’s a goal that you can achieve on your own. If you want it, if you believe that you can get it, it’s-it’s-it’s something that it-it’s not reliant on magic.” Jane Curtin

Now here is where my expectations were surpassed. No spoilers….I promise.  But I expected…..a cute, princess themed story.  The grown up little girl would find a prince…..and live happily ever after.  PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE TO THE END.  There are so many statements about families of all dynamics, beauty in all shapes and sizes, and how happily ever after looks different for each of us.  I cried.  I cried watching the ending with my daughter and knowing that she will grow up seeing representation in Disney films that is groundbreaking and messaging that is inclusive.

Wondering if you should watch Godmothered on Disney+? This movie is not what you may expect.....in the best possible way.

Trust me…..this is a must watch film.  In fact, since it takes place during the holiday season, I might need to add it to my Ultimate Disney+ Christmas Movie Watchlist.  It's THAT good.

GODMOTHERED is streaming exclusively on Disney+ starting December 4th.

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
