Do you enjoy watching films? How about films that have had multiple sequels? Are they needed? 

The reason I ask is because I recently found out that a trailer has been released for Shrek 5! Five! Everyone I know who has seen it is disappointed with the animation, saying that it's nowhere near the quality of the original.

Not only that, but Toy Story 5 is about to be released and the promo for the film is going absolutely crazy- there are so many toys and bits of merchandise being released because of it. Are these sequels really needed? Aren't their stories done? Can't the companies behind them put some energy into creating completely new stories with new characters and narratives?

I have decided to put up this puzzle from Aquarius featuring some of Shrek's beloved characters. This puzzle took longer to do than I anticipated. I had hoped it would be a quick and easy one but the green turned out to be more challenging than expected. I was happy with the completed image though. 

Disney D100 Moana

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 300
Size:  27cm x 39cm

Product Code: 133758

I've long been a Disney-loving girl, and as such, when Disney celebrated 100 years, I was all over the puzzles that celebrated this iconic anniversary. 

I managed to find and do all the puzzles in the above collection, and as I have recently seen advertising for the live action version of Moana (soon to be released), I have decided to put up the above puzzle. 

I absolutely love the film of Moana, and would have to say it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure what exactly draws me in but it's a film I really enjoy, as does my little girl. The above puzzle was a quick and fun one to do, making good use of colour blocks in the illustration. I'll eventually post all the others from this collection, but for now, this will have to do. Enjoy!

Fables In Felt

Lately I've been fascinated by the amount of 'textured' puzzle designs that have been on the market. These vary in form from mountainous scenes to animals, and appear as either paper-crafted or stitched designs. 

They look incredible when complete and pop out from the design in a way that looks more 3D than anything!

I have to admit that a few may have made it into my home, including the one above. There is so much detail and texture and I absolutely love the look.

Have you tried one of the above style? Let me know your thoughts...
