Hivi majuzi nilitazama filamu ya kijerumani inayoitwa Einsamkeit und Sex und Mitleid (≈ Upweke na Ngono na Huruma). Niliipenda. Vilevile napenda Donnie Darko, Amélie, Lola rennt (Run Lola Run), The Jacket, The Fountain, lakini hizo zote ni za zamani kidogo.
I recently saw a German movie called Einsamkeit und Sex und Mitleid (≈ Loneliness and Sex and Pity/Sympathy). I liked it. I also like Donnie Darko, Amélie, Lola rennt (Run Lola Run), The Jacket, The Fountain, but those are all a bit old.

Edit: Failed to translate one word.

Spoiler:
[+1] [xD] I spent about 20 minutes trawling the abyssal layers of Rozwi for something like "give up" or "give in". Eventually, I found 'relinquish' [TRANSITIVE] with not one but TWO Rozwi verbs. Apparently, Rozwis may cede an object or small parcel of territory, but do they give up or give in? No, friends, they NEVAR SURRENDAR!

During the whole search, this song kept playing in my head:

Edit: Apologies; I posted this before actually finishing the typing-up of translations.

I though it was decent. I never cared much about the original (was more into Transformers as a kid than Disney) but I really wanted to see something silly and lighthearted after that deadline passed.

Zithéokh luzeul zhebl llekeos/eņeoņe. Spiletij kap miţeul, EP zhepaalir ganfeoln. M̧ep Ieultu nahréotsh.
I found the pacing a bit off/rushed. Acting was decent, CGI wasn't jarring. Overall, not bad at all.

(Leagues better than the live-action Transformers, at least, which breaks middle-school-me's heart.)
Spoiler:
The Be Our Guest sequence was great fun, The Mob Song was excellent (though that's always been the only song from Beauty and the Beast I actually liked, and I prefer the extended version on the soundtrack/deleted scene), Evermore was a lovely addition, and I have very mixed feelings about the attempt at LGBT representation. (On the one hand, finally. Thank you, Disney. Took you long enough. On the other hand, it could have been done so very much better.)

Nilitaka kuwa mwenye mahali pa burudani.
I wanted to be an amusement park owner.

Kisha nilitaka kufanya kitu kuwahusu wanyama, kwa mfano kwenye bustani ya wanyama.
Then I wanted to do something to do with animals, such as working in a zoo.
