Christmas is coming and you just want to throw yourself on the sofa, bury yourself in blankets and put on something nice, that will comfort your heart and make you have faith in humanity again. If you are not especially fans of Christmas movies, here are a few movies and series that are authentic happy places and always leave you with a smile on your face.
Series:
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’
Michael Schur is a specialist in happy places (‘The Good Place’) and this is a good example of a story that you can watch at any time and will always lift your spirits. In addition to its crazy and hilarious moments, its cast of characters is one to be loved.
‘Ted Lasso’
If we talk about stories that brighten our day, we cannot forget this fantastic comedy. It doesn’t matter if you’re not interested in football, Ted Lasso’s optimism in the face of the not so impossible task of moving his team forward comforts us and makes us believe in people again.
‘The Greens in the Big City’
In general, Disney has a good catalog of animated series feel good (‘Amfibilandia’ or ‘Casa Búho’ are also a good option). This comedy introduces us to the Green family and their crazy adventures trying to adapt to life in the city. With self-conclusive chapters of 10 minutes, It is pure fun and accessible to all audiences.
‘iZombie’
Don’t let his bloody appearance fool you, because we are before one of the funniest and most carefree zombie series in recent years. Rob Thomas (the creator of ‘Veronica Mars’) brought us this joke of procedural where a zombie helps solve cases by eating the victims’ brains and assuming their personality traits.
‘Haikyuu!!’
Continuing with another sports anime, this spokon anime couldn’t be more welcoming. Not only does he know how to convey the emotion of the matches, but he always prevails teamwork, the will to excelsee the opposing team as a rival but not an enemy and above all enjoy the gamewin or lose.
Films:
‘Palm Springs’
Andy Samberg doubles in the ranking but… how not to include ‘Palm Spings’ in a list feel good? One of the best time travel movies of recent years and undoubtedly the most fun. A nice time-looped romantic comedywhat more can we ask for?
‘Sing Street’
The musical theme is something that John Carney is passionate about (‘Once’, ‘Begin Again’) but we have never been as excited as this coming of age. A classic story, about an Irish teenager who puts together a music group with his friends to impress a girl, who dazzles us with her sincerity, her soundtrack and how adorable all her characters are.
‘Chungking Express’
Another story where the soundtrack has a crucial role. Wong Kar Wai gets capture in a more playful wayalthough equally visual as in ‘In the mood for love’, what does it feel like when you’re in love in these two unlikely romances. We won’t be able to listen to ‘California Dreamin’ again without getting a goofy grin.
‘Nicky the Witch’s Apprentice’
Ghibli’s films are famous for great adventures full of fantasy and a strong ecological message, but we also find smaller but equally emotional stories. Here we will meet the little witch Nicky, who decides to set up her own courier service. simple and lovelywe want a Jiji in our life.
‘My Little Pony: A New Generation’
If the ‘My little pony’ series is already a happy place with all of the law, the Netflix movie was not going to be less. The story is still just as adorable but with new characters, new songs and a beautiful animation which is a candy for the eyes.
