WandaVision 2021
Really enjoyable, a steady unfolding of an intriguing story made all the more mysterious and fun by Olsen and Bettany's performances. It's a little padded and a couple of emotional beats that should have landed aren't directed as well as they should have been, but this is a fun ride with effective tonal shifts that succeeds in both the gleeful and the melancholic. It's nice to dive back into the MCU, but the longer-than-planned wait helped it too.

Onward 2020
Sags in the middle a bit, but this was really fun and lovely. Was braced for this to be kind of 'eh' but it's always been in Pixar's wheelhouse to make those sorts of ideas really good. Has a really strong opening, and even though it struggles to find its feet, it all leads to a superb payoff in a fantastic climax. Stunning animation and a really solid performance from Tom Holland.
