The Loveland Roar

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a production company creates an unnecessary sequel to a standalone movie, thereby reducing how much I enjoyed the first movie. This was not the case, however, with Zootopia 2. It was an extremely enjoyable experience,  in no way degrading the first flawless movie. The exposition of the movie was quickly paced, allowing for little to no boredom on my part. The sequel to this movie takes place about a week after the plot of the first. In sho

As the holiday season approaches, numerous blockbusters aim to attract cold-fatigued audiences across the United States. Although some of these films will surely be busts, others are destined for cinematic greatness.  Popcorn at a movie theater. Starting big, Zootopia 15   is now playing in theaters. Centered on the police rabbit Judy Hopps and her fox colleague Nick Wilde, the film is said to be loosely based on Zootopia 8: The Empire Strikes Back . According to a leaked plo

As communication challenges grow each winter, Loveland Schools have decided to think boldly- some may even say absurdly, or magically- about how to alert students of a snow day. With the winter season now in full swing, the possibility of a snow day is growing. In fact,  The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a very cold and snowy winter for Ohio’s 2025-2026 season. Power outages and dead phones are a recurrence when it comes to communicating about snow days via text, email, or ca

As the holiday season nears, most of us will be spending more time than usual around large groups of family and friends. Rather than melting into the blue light of our phones and ignoring those we see only once a year, here are a couple of card games that you can try out with others using only a standard 52-card deck. Additional rules and videos can be found on the Bicycle Cards website at bicyclecards.com . First, “Euchre” (pronounced YOU-ker) is a competitive trick-taker. E

The week of September 22nd is Homecoming week! The Loveland Tigers face off against the Walnut Hills Eagles in a big showdown. The Tigers look to win this homecoming game to make sure that an amazing week of homecoming activities is capped off with a boom. On the other hand, the Eagles hope to force an upset, and knock the Tigers off as rulers of the Jungle. The week leading up to the big game is full of fun activities and community connection, adding to the excitement of the

Demon Slayer: The Movie: Infinity Castle , just left many theaters in Cincinnati, Ohio. The film is planned to be one of three released in the span of four years, all of which are being produced by the company Ufotable. Now, coming from someone who has watched both dubbed and subtitled versions, this is a must-watch for all anime fans. This movie made over $630 million in box office revenue as of late September! There are three reasons why it did so well: the animation qualit

Taylor Swift released her 12th album on October 3rd, 2025. It is Swift's shortest album yet, with only 12 tracks for a total of 41 minutes and 40 seconds. Starting with “The Fate of Ophelia” and ending with “Life of a Showgirl (feat. Sarbrina Carpenter),” Swift illustrates finding love and happiness in the things you have, how broken relationships can affect someone, and a complicated love life.  Taking a deeper dive into the first part of the album. The first track of the al

The 2025 anime season is beginning to wrap up, with many shows concluding their seasons or coming close to it. This finalizing anime season has produced some amazing additions to many well-received anime, such as a second season for popular shows like Kaiju No. 8  and DanDaDan . Not to mention that the producers of Demon Slayer , Ufotable, have just released a film reeling in well over $600 million worldwide with just the first part of a three-film trilogy.  But speaking of f

Sometimes I’ll wonder what it must be like to be human. Pain and expression that both emanate and feed off each other, paired with opposable thumbs and ambiguous definitions of freedom for perfect, ugly messes. Luckily, though, we've mostly done away with those sentiments by now. I can’t very well tear my thumbs off, but it’s comforting to know The Performatives have finally risen to power. I couldn’t be happier, or any more self-aware. “Performative” is a term best defined a

Powder Puff is a well-known tradition at Loveland, as well as many other high schools. It is part of our homecoming week traditions, and takes place right after the homecoming parade. Powder Puff is where there are girls from every grade who sign up and get picked to compete in one or more two-touch football games in front of a crowd of their peers, up at the football field. There will be 1 or 2 coaches for each Powder Puff team, who are required to have played or have a soli
