In fact, even in February (which is usually Disney’s “slower” season), we were seeing record HIGH crowds wait long wait times for even the rides that usually only have a 5-10 minute wait on average.

It’s been a long road to recovery for Disney World after closing for a short period of time at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that certainly hasn’t slowed down the vacationers!

As the two learn to survive together on the island, Phillip sets his racism aside, and a friendship between the two of them blossoms.

While the film suffers from predictable tropes and some issues with its narrative development, the end result is still quite acceptable and minor considering that the actual material focuses more on Bob's journey with himself and his closest friends rather than his love interest alone. The narration done by Jericho Rosales on the background was actually outstanding as he puts so much more life and complexity into his character through words alone. The film was paced lovingly as we brush through the life of Bob through various phases in his life seamlessly even if we had to go back and forth between each one numerous times. ![]() While we haven't read the well-received book of the same name, "ABNKKBSNPLAko?!" the movie was a great experience overall. ![]() ![]() ![]() |a Follows the progress of a hungry little caterpiller as he eats his way through a varied and very large quantity of food until, full at last, he forms a cocoon around himself and goes to sleep. |a 20 pages : |b color illustrations |c 22 x 30 cm |a The very hungry caterpillar / |c by Eric Carle.
