I just ran across this movie and didn't think much of it with it looking like just another mediocre kid's movie. I didn't expect it to be what it was - a little gold nugget!

First, at the time of writing this review, I'm a student at the University of North Georgia *in Dahlonega, GA* so to discover that's where the movie was based and filmed got me really exited. I also love how the production involved the historic Dahlonega Consolidated Gold mine, a major tourist attraction here in town. I encourage any visitors to go!

Overall, I did enjoy this movie. I wouldn't say it was fantastic, but it definitely wasn't boring. It wasn't even overly predictable either. I liked the surprises that came about, and I enjoyed how the movie ended, even if it was kind of quick.

The acting was probably the weakest link of the movie, but it was still better than many of the low-budget movies I've seen.

I'd give this movie an 8/10 rating, and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a sweet family movie to enjoy over dinner or something.

Robin's Wish wasn't the documentary I was expecting at first glance. I was ready for something that would go back over his life of roles and characters and the people he impacted. Wow. Was I not ready for this tear-jerker. I really enjoyed learning Robin's background as a person and being taken on a ride of his life. I especially liked all the truthful information presented and explained that the public media companies often neglected to report. Hearing about how he was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia really got me. I've been around people with Parkinson's, dementia, and Alzheimer's. But Lewy body dementia was new to me. I found it so inspiring that someone who had this awful disease, and wasn't aware that he had it, could continue being the best they were. Robin really had it right in his belief in life. Once you realize that there's so much more than you, you have only just begun. Dead Poet's Society, a film I was shown while in high school, was where I got to see Robin act outside of animation and I really loved that. He was such an amazing person and he never stopped caring. Hopefully some of the other actors in Hollywood would take on his example someday. You will be missed, Robin. Thank you for all the joy you brought to this world, and thank you for all the joy your characters keep bringing to it too.
