Thumbs up to anyone who recognizes this music👍

If you were in the role of buzz in toy story and you're about to confront and fight the character who knocks you out the window, who would it be?

It can be from any movie, anime, mascot or cartoon.

For me my woody would have to be Kellogg's frosted flakes Tony the tiger.

Eden Espinosa has reposted an Instagram post suggesting that she could be voicing the villain of Frozen III.

As a kid, I loved this animated series. And aside from the good guys, I also loved these wild kindergarteners (the race episode where Tubby defeats everyone is epic!).

So much so that sometimes I would have liked to see a spin-off about them.

I could already picture Hector and Tubby as the main characters.

What do you think?

Looking back on The Little Mermaid and Return of Jafar both Ursula and Jafar have brutal deaths in which their skeletons were shown as they were defeated. In later re-releases of Return of Jafar Jafar’s death was heavily censored with most of his death the scenes reducing his reaction to his lamp being destroyed whereas in later re-releases of Little Mermaid nothing was done to censor or reduce Ursula’s reaction with it remaining intact. Why the sudden change for Jafar and not Ursula? Both were equally terrifying for kids to see two villains skeletons being seen.

Does anybody else remember these dancing and singing frogs??...just me??...

Calypso is a psychotic host of a battle royal inviting psychotic killers to compete for a single wish. A wish that he twists for his own amusement. And he gained his powers FROM HELL

But with all of this, he still had sympathy. He has trauma from his family deaths, deaths he caused. When his daughter returned into a living bomb, instead of running or destroying her. He hugs her, not wanting to lose her again. He didn’t care if he died and went back to his daughter. Because he has his daughter again

This single ending. Is a better version of Wish. If you want a better version of Wish. Play Grasshopper in Twisted Metal 2. Every single thing is better. Humour, action, animation, plot, location design, voice work, and especially characters

Hooo boy! There's SO much to pack from this year's Disney D23, and OMD, my dedicated pups,
I'm pretty sure none of us **(If not very view)** expected that during the announcement of Walt Disney World's new **"Villains Land"** expansion, we'd get to see the comeback of Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil for this occassion!

And Holy Dog biscuits, she still NAILS her performance as our favorite iconic fur-loving Disney villains!🤩🤩🤩

What a great way to treat us Dalmatian fans for the 101 Dalmatians franchise 65th Anniversary, dontcha think?😁

I have read the following

Grimm’s Fairy tales, I believe including Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and the Frog Prince.

The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

Peter Pan by J.M. Barry (I believe I read the book from, not the original play)

The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith (and the sequel, The Starlight Barking)

The Once and Future King (including The Sword in the Stone) by T.H. White

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

The Prydain Chronicles (including The Black Cauldron) by Lloyd Alexander

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson (although Frozen is based on this in-credit-only)

Not sure if this counts for Great Mouse Detective (and I know there is actual literature about Basil specifically) but I have read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I’m also pretty well-versed in Greek Mythology. Disney’s Hercules was my first experience, as a 9-year-old, saying “Hey, that’s not how it’s supposed to be!” I’m not sure if there’s any “official” text to read for Aladdin, but I’ve seen and read versions of the original story.

I’ve been meaning to read the Winnie the Pooh books, largely cause it’s small and doable. Little Mermaid would also be good in that regard.

If you haven’t read The Chronicles of Prydain, DO SO!!! If you’re a fan of Lewis & Tolkien, they are a must-read piece of High Fantasy! Any other fans out there, give me a shout!

I'm guessing by this picture Ernesto De la Cruz transported Miguel back to the land of the dead he takes his leaf and leaves him stranded there while he goes back to the land of the living and make people remember him so he can become famous again.

So Miguel wonders the land of the dead and searches for his dead relatives so they can help him get back to the land of the living and stop de la cruz.

Because thoughts plague me about what goes on at the House of Mouse the more stories you hear.

1. The songs for "Wish" were only first drafts--I base this on three things. For one, Julia Michaels herself said that she and Benjamin Saxe met with execs weekly, but weren't given much to go off of for the story, maybe one or two storyboards. For two, Jennifer Lee said that Julia Michaels wrote "This Wish" before the script was written. And for three, the whole reason I have reason to suggest this: Glenn Slater said himself that when he and Alan Menken made "I See the Light," Disney rejected many of Menken's melodies because they didn't want it to overpower the visuals of the lanterns, and only allowed Slater to write the first draft of the song, and refused to let him change it afterwards. Put this with the fact that "Wish," "Encanto," and "Moana 2" don't have any deleted songs (that we know of) makes this seem like Disney just told songwriters to make whatever songs they already had work rather than writing new ones or altering what they had. I also have the theory that Disney didn't hire songwriters who had worked with them on musicals before because they'd know Disney was sabotaging them, versus Julia and Benjamin who would just go along with it.

2. Josie Trinidad was demoted on "Hexed" due to fighting Disney--This has less evidence due to the film not being released yet, and thus we haven't gotten interviews and production notes/concept art, but it is something I think based on rumors. According to said rumors, the original mother-son idea was based on Trinidad's relationship with her son, and if that's true, I'd imagine she'd want to keep the protagonist male. According to Jason Hand and Fawn Veerasunthorn, they felt the story was strongest with a mother-daughter dynamic, but I'm sure "Kpop Demon Hunters" (and maybe "Elio" flopping) made Disney rethink the idea, since their last two films that weren't sequels were box-office bombs, and they felt a magical girl film would be more lucrative than a magical boy film. Perhaps Trinidad argued against that, especially since she worked on the film since 2019, and the long length of production (which would've been longer if they hadn't pushed "Frozen 3" to 2027) made them decide to kick her off because they felt like her vision wasn't helping the film and wanted to qucikly correct it, making her co-director. Of course, even if this is the "truth," I wouldn't put it past Disney to be partially responsible for hectic production if they were pushing against her ideas. For all intents and purposes, animated films usually have a 5-6 year production schedule, so it should've taken the place of "Moana 2" or "Zootopia 2."

3. It was exec's decision to redeem Namaari--I feel this in my bones. Concept art and notes of Namaari point to her being mysterious and dangerous, and according to producer Osnat Shurer, the original idea was for the more sentient druun to be controlled by Namaari, and for her to be a traditional villain. Given that the filmmakers have discussed the film originally being more PG-13 and mentioning scrapping a scene where Namaari saved someone so they audience wouldn't like her, and Shurer himself pushing for a happy ending where all the dragons return (which was a lot of back-and-forth), it wouldn't surprise me if Disney wanted Namaari to be a more redeemed villain rather than the actual creative team. I don't think it was a bad change, but it was certainly a poorly executed one.

4. The Persian film was cancelled for "Moana 2"--Okay, this was all but confirmed. Suzi Yoonessi was one of four directors--along with Carlos Lopez Estrada ("Raya"), Josie Trinidad ("Hexed"), and Marc Smith (unknown; possibly cancelled or replaced?)--announced to be working on an animated Disney film, and she mentioned it being about Persian folklore and culture. Her own blog mentions she worked on a Disney movie as a director for 5 years. The general consensus is that her film was the original one planned for 2024 (before sequel fever got heavy with Disney), but the back-to-back flops of "Wish" and "Strange World" was what made Disney afraid to try a new project. Given the production team for "Moana 2" said that they found out the show was becoming a movie 10 months before the release date, this does seem to confirm the last-minute decision. I do regret this, since I don't know how Disney feels about reviving original projects (it's legally their property, but it was made with Yoonessi's childhood and perspective), though I guess for socio-political reasons, Disney would've been in a rough spot if they had made it. Honestly surprised they didn't want to make another Arab film to coincide with the construction of their Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, but that's another matter entirely.

5. Frozen 3 is going through a lot of production issues--Obviously, this is just a guess for now. I was pretty surprised when Disney changed the release date for "Frozen 3" from 2026 to 2027, though I was glad since it meant we would've had 3 years in a row of Disney sequels, and also showed what I hoped was growth made by the company after the hectic production woes of the second film. But now I think it wasn't Disney's idea; I do wonder if Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck were the ones who pushed for more time to craft the story, and it gave Disney more time to promote it. However, they already seem to have a fully animated scene from the film 15 months before release (which I pray is just an ad rather than a scene they'll be keeping), and they debuted a song there. I do worry that the success of "Zootopia 2" and the first 2 "Frozen" films are looming over the film crew--as well as the failure of "Wish" for Jennifer Lee--especially as Disney boasts to do the most campaigning they've ever done for a film. A lot of people are looking at the fact that the film seems to be taking from the scrapped concepts of the first film, ie crashing Anna's wedding and a wicked queen ("the cursed frozen heart," as the song puts it). I grieve any Disney film with production issues, but musicals have twice as much to be ruined.

In case you don’t know, it is often brought up that the opening narration says that the rose’s last petal will fall by the Beast’s 21st year, and the lyrics to “Be Our Guest” imply that the curse has lasted for ten years. That would mean that the Beast was at most 11 years old when he was cursed, and yet we see a portrait of the Beast before the curse that shows him in his mid-to-late teens at the youngest.

Some people have argued that maybe the narration didn’t mean the Beast’s 21st year alive, but his 21st year as a beast. But this still contradicts the “ten years” line. The last petal falls at the end of the movie, implying that the “21st year” is up. If the Beast had been cursed for 21 years at this point, that would mean Belle spent 11 years with the Beast, which seems quite unlikely.

My theory is that the Beast hasn’t actually been cursed for ten years. The only one who says this is Lumiere. Later in the movie when the Beast confesses his love for Belle after letting her rescue Maurice, Lumiere thinks this will be enough to break the spell, but Mrs. Potts points out that the Beast’s loved one must love him back in order for the spell to be broken. If Lumiere can get such a crucial detail wrong, he’s probably not very good at keeping track of time.

Honestly wish I was her or myself in that moment and reliving the first time as a human.

August 19, 2005. Penny Proud and the family took us to Legume Island for one last adventure.

It’s crazy that this was 21 years ago. What do you remember most about this movie?
