Welcome back to another edition of Cape & Castle’s Friday Disney cooking series! Last week, we kicked off the series with Kronk’s Spinach Puffs from The Emperor’s New Groove. From the Kuzconian Empire to the bayou, we’re throwing it down to the Jazz Age in New Orleans with Tiana’s beignets from The Princess and The Frog. In the movie,…
One good thing about quarantine is it allows for lots of Disney marathons, and it is impossible to watch more than three movies without noticing one common theme—food. As an aspiring chef, food is what catches my eye about Disney films the most. Growing up, I always craved the mouthwatering foods on the screen and…
May the 4th be with you! This clever pun has inspired one of our favorite days of the year at Cape & Castle—National Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we are highlighting the journey of Ben Solo, everyone’s favorite dark prince of the galaxy. Adam Driver’s portrayal of the duality of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is without…
In the difficult times, we are living in, one of the beautiful things about the world is how people are turning to art. We often get lost in the struggle to live up society’s standards of work and wealth that we forget the value of art in our lives. Quarantine has reminded us that beauty, romance…

The Stormtrooper-turned Resistance hero has been a highlight of the sequel trilogy. John Boyega’s portrayal of…
Warning: Are you sure these are the spoilers you’re looking for? The recent shift in the film industry’s approach to storytelling is concerning.

The Rise of Skywalker destroys the mythological and thematic beauty of…
Warning: The spoilers are strong with this one. Knowing that The Rise of Skywalker was on the other side of finals is the only thing that got me through the fall semester. I’m still deciding if that was a healthy coping method or not, but regardless, the film is out, and I have strong opinions about it….
We are officially T-minus two days until Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Inspired by Josh Gad’s star-studded interrogation of Daisy Ridley last week, we too have some questions going into the final installment of the legendary saga. How did Palpatine return? The teaser that dropped in April threw the Star Wars fan base into…
We’re so close. After two years of waiting, we are now one week away from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Set to wrap up the Star Wars saga, theories about what will happen have plagued the internet for months. We wanted to join in on the fun as well with three bold predictions which—unless…
On the final day of our 30 Days of Thanks event, we are recognizing Pixar’s Ratatouille. I am proud to say that my watch count of the animated feature has entered the triple-digit range. The perfect movie for any mood, Ratatouille never fails to put a smile on my face. Here’s why Ratatouille is magical….
