10 Things I'll Talk About If I Were To Attend Today's Coffee Club

10.Wish Dragon
Just like Chickenhare, Wish Dragon is going directly on my B List, mainly because of its similarities to Pixar's film, Coco. Moving on!
9.Coco
This charming Pixar film about a Latin American boy who tries to restore music to his family despite his grumpy Abuela's protests is like a Mexican Scream Street. Speaking of Scream Street, come to think of it, CBBC is airing shows from BBC One and CBeebies now, making it an American channel for families instead of older kids. And CBeebies is aiming for parents, so...DARN!
8.The Willoughbys
With its clunky, slow paced CGI and appearances of a blue cat every now and then, this film tells the story of a group of children who plot to get rid of their parents, who don't have enough time for them. I feel you, guys, my mum spends time looking after Grandma all the time and she doesn't have enough time for me, but still, we chat on GChat, and as for me, now I've found plenty of things to do, such as...write stories! Obvs.
7.My Little Present
A snowy story set in the middle of a snowy wasteland, in a small log cabin. You're probably thinking, "My Little Pony?" No, not that, it's an entirely different story. Orko lives all alone in the middle of a snowy wasteland, in this cosy little log cabin, but he feels a bit lonely. On the day of his birthday, he recieves...the Sword Of Power? NO! I was meant to say he recieves a gift from his uncle, a baby lioness cub named Furaha. As Orko watches her grow up into a healthy cub, she develops a strong bond with her new brother and plays with him inside, or outside. The love between a brother and his sister never dies.
6.Time For A Nap
A short, sweet vignette which follows Orko as he and his baby sister Furaha come in from a day on the beach looking very tired, and go for a nap. With Orko not wearing his uncomfortable, heavy medallion anymore, Furaha is free to crawl onto Orko's back and snuggle into the velvety smoothness of his cloak. Sweet.
5.Orko's Birthday
Remember when Orko celebrated his birthday back in the 1980's He Man series? The 2002 incarnation never celebrated his birthday, but here he does. He sits in the kitchen in front of his beautifully baked cake waiting for someone to turn up. Out of impatience, he eats the cake bit by bit until Furaha shows up, feels his pain and surprises him with a slew of birthday cupcakes for them to share. How lovely - and a perfect way to celebrate the birthday of a character who never had celebrated it, not even in the 2002 He Man series.
4.The Comfiest Clouds
Imagine what it would be like to sleep on snuggly soft clouds, way up into the sky. Now imagine what it would be like to bounce on them! Furaha and Orko do just that and bounce, mould clouds into shapes and feel the silky softness of the clouds they are standing on. Heaven! They also sleep on them too...just the sort of obvious thing to happen when you end up on the fluffiest clouds.
3.The Pool Boy
I remember when I watched the Bluey episode 'Camping' and Bluey befriended a black French dog called Jean-Luc. The two formed a special friendship, then he left, and years later Bluey met up with him again as a teenager. In this sunny story set at a Spanish villa, Furaha and her friend Minty are staying there for a holiday, and decide to go to the pool for a swim. While there, Furaha meets up with Orko, who dubs himself here 'The Pool Boy' because he looks after it for the manager, and the two form a friendship. I may or may not be going to the Puffin Pool tomorrow, I dunno.
2.Latin Dreamland
This soothing CD, alongside African Yoga, has to be my favourite Putumayo World Music CD of all time. It's mainly how the music sounds, feels and looks - if you can see it. My favourite songs on the album are the last four tracks, because they bring a sense of emotion into your soul and heart, as if you can hear your heart sing in time to the music. Latin American culture has never been this heartwarming.
1.Cub Pile!
At last, I've finally decided to make Furaha's forgotten siblings a part of the 'franchise' at last. Their names are Upendi, Nakona, Lanka, Allie and Wing as long as you remember - and to think, I named Upendi after that earworm inducing song from The Lion King II and Lanka after a state in Asia! In this story, these cubs come to stay with Furaha and Orko, and while baby Wing plays with his aeroplane in the living room, the cubs and Orko play tag in the living room and end up in a big purry pile on Furaha and Orko's bed. Family visits have never been this wild and crazy!
