She doesn’t look particularly happy to be there.

But that's apples and oranges. Which is entirely my point, actually. I’m just referencing the memes from several years back that compared songs between say, Freddie Mercury and Beyoncé when it never was a fair comparison to begin with. I could have just as easily left the same “God Help the Outcast...

Oh goodness, let’s not be cherry-picking here.

I love a good fairytale film, but I wonder if there is some panic at Disney that their follow-up to Wish is another fairytale? I’m suddenly recalling the strange and uncertain attitude the company seemed to have when it came to marketing and even the naming of Tangled; they were obviously afraid a ...

Parents fuming after new Diary of a Wimpy Kid film on Disney 'spoils Christmas'

I first saw Frozen at the theater exactly 10 years ago today, initially seeing Elsa’s journey as an allegory for mental illness. I made a connection with the character through her journey, given that I’d dealt with severe anxieties and had fought to appear “normal” all of my life. Reality is obvious...

I continue to believe Disney+ has been Disney’s greatest hurdle to box office success. I agree with you, although I’ve seen a lot of arguments pointing out that streaming availability hasn’t slowed down some theatrical releases made by other studios. I think Disney’s animated films are often a exce...

I know I didn’t say much in my previous post but wanted to come back to expand when I had the time. Just the Santa line alone from the article is extremely manipulative and misleading as part of their justification of “protecting the innocence of our children.” The world is changing to be more inclu...

Thanks Amy, the hugs are appreciated. :) I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost three dogs, especially in such a short timeframe; it hurts no matter how prepared we might feel for it and it’s extra difficult when sad events pile up like that. I’d been extra worried about Cinder for a few months, ever since I...

I know real fifth-graders who still believe in Santa and I cherish their innocence

Dafuq did I just read?

megustajake , I agree. The political divide is awful right now. Everything comes and goes in waves, and I do hope Disney comes out of this slump by working for it rather than wallowing in the past and trying to please everyone. I can’t imagine having any sense of direction working in the movie indu...

WDW Pro has an interesting you tube video about several animators coming forward to tell how Wish was taken over by activists who turned it from charming to propaganda. What “propaganda” is embedded in Wish? I think the movie is pretty safe overall, though I did like its implication we’re all made ...

I loved DTV when I was little, usually oldies songs paired with clips of Disney shorts (maybe of features too? I don't remember) on the Disney Channel between shows. I loved those too! I used to try to stay up late to catch them since they were often used as filler close to midnight. I also loved t...

The one lyric that annoys me every time I hear it is in “I’m a Star” (a song which despite my issues I’ve just written about, I enjoy best out of the soundtrack): “Watch out world here I are.” :angry: :angry: You can really tell the songwriters are more accustomed to writing pop than musical theatr...

I absolutely loved some of the Disney concept albums from the early 90s that were produced with original songs. The first one that comes to mind is The Little Mermaid: Songs From the Sea . While obviously written and marketed for little girls, it’s quite a charming narration of a simple story. Ariel...

I do mostly tend to hang in animation-centric circles when I’m browsing for entertainment news online, so aside from the occasional scathing review that compares modern Disney to Cocomelon (seriously?! Lol), I tend to forget there’s a ton of people out there that absolutely despise Disney. I think t...

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone! I really appreciate it and I’m sorry I haven’t been back to update. The only remnant from that whole beach debacle is that I have a very mild tan line from my sunburn; thankfully my legs (and toes!) eventually healed up. But it’s been a rough time in general...

Probably because James Corden wasn’t in it.

Generational family trauma, villainizing a family member that’s been outcast from the family, leaving out another family member for not upholding the family name, keeping up appearances, ignoring the needs of all the individual members, and finding redemption through communication understanding from...

Honestly, I’ve always loved collecting animated films, especially Disney, even back in the good ol’ VHS days. Was more than happy to upgrade most titles to DVD, and got sucked into Blu when they first started offering the insanely irresistible coupons for the combo packs (remember those?). I figured...
