So, what movie or movies are you looking forward to seeing in 2016? It is so hard for me to decide but I have to say that I am MOST excited about The Jungle Book – simply because it was my favorite movie as a kid. In fact, now I am singing, “it’s the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities….” tell me I’m not the only one! I think a close runner up would be Finding Dory! I am super excited to see what other details I can share with you about the upcoming films!!
