I Hate How She Talks About Snow White

"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is − because it needed that. It's an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come. "

Let me tell you a little something's about that "85-year-old cartoon," miss Zegler.

It was the first-ever cel-animated feature-length full-color film. Ever. Ever. EVER. I'm worried that you're not hearing me. This movie was Disney inventing the modern animated film. Spirited Away, Into the Spider-Verse, Tangled, you don't get to have any of these without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937.)

Speaking of what you wouldn't get without this movie, it includes anime as a genre. Not just in technique (because again, nobody animated more than shorts before this movie) but in style and story. Anime, as it is now, wouldn't exist without Osamu Tezuka, "The God of Manga," who wouldn't have pioneered anime storytelling in the 1940s without having watched and learned from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the 1930s. No "weeb" culture, no Princess Mononoke, no DragonBall Z, no My Hero Academia, no Demonslayer, and no Naruto without this "85-year-old cartoon."

It was praised, not just for its technical marvels, not just for its synchronized craft of sound and action, but primarily and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. They felt more like they were watching something true to life than they did watching silent, live-action films with real actors and actresses. They couldn't believe that an animated character could make kids wet their pants as she flees, frightened, through the forest, or grown adults cry with grieving Dwarves. Consistently.

Walt Disney Studios was built on this movie. No no; you're not understanding me. Literally, the studio in Burbank, out of which has come legends of this craft of animated filmmaking, was literally built on the incredible, odds-defying, record-breaking profits of just Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, specifically.

Speaking of record-breaking profits, this movie is the highest-grossing animated film in history. Still. TO THIS DAY. And it was made during the Great Depression.

In fact, it made four times as much money than any other film, in any other genre, released during that time period. It was actually THE highest-grossing film of all time, in any genre, until nothing less than Gone With the Wind, herself, came along to take the throne.

It was the first-ever animated movie to be selected for the National Film Registry. Actually, it was one of the first movies, period, to ever go into the registry at all. You know what else is in the NFR? The original West Side Story, the remake of which is responsible for Rachel Ziegler's widespread fame.

Walt Disney sacrificed for this movie to be invented. Literally, he took out a mortgage on his house and screened the movie to banks for loans to finish paying for it, because everyone from the media to his own wife and brother told him he was crazy to make this movie. And you want to tell me it's just an 85-year-old cartoon that needs the most meaningless of updates, with your tender 8 years in the business?

Speaking of sacrifice, this movie employed over 750 people, and they worked immeasurable hours of overtime, and invented--literally invented--so many new techniques that are still used in filmmaking today, that Walt Disney, in a move that NO OTHER STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD was doing in the 30's, put this in the opening credits: "My sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production." Not the end credits, like movies love to do today as a virtue-signal. The opening credits.

It's legacy endures. Your little "85-year-old cartoon" sold more than 1 million DVD copies upon re-release. Just on its first day. The Beatles quoted Snow White in one of their songs. Legacy directors call it "the greatest film ever made." Everything from Rolling Stones to the American Film Institute call this move one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture. This movie doesn't need anything from anybody. This movie is a cultural juggernaut for America. It's a staple in the art of filmmaking--and art, in general. It is the foundation of the Walt Disney Company, of modern children's media in the West, and of modern adaptations of classical fairy tales in the West. When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.

Sit down and be humble. Who the heck are you?

It is very funny to me now that years ago on here I posted my OC Rachel, who I assumed no one would like, when she was literally an aggressively normal trans woman office worker who hobbies included "going to work" "getting deals at the grocery store" "watching bad daytime TV" etc. she even turned into a magical catgirl but she wasnt really into it like it was kind of annoying. her best friend was a dead middle schooler

[sluttypatrickstar]

multiple things can be true at once

1) the allegations against neil gaiman seem very likely to be true, because i cannot fucking imagine that having sex with an employee relying on you and your money to avoid homelessness (and starting within a few HOURS of meeting her) could ever be a situation with unproblematic consent

2) the podcast seems to be very exploitative – first, the use of ads/sponsorships; second, the sensationalism of the story and using dramatic music and editing; and third, its general anti-BDSM narrative and it is deeply fucked up to use victims’ stories to put forward your own narrative or agenda

3) this being reported by rachel johnson just has terrible vibes, i am absolutely with everybody on this, i don’t believe she has the victims’ best interests at heart and i am suspicious of her personal motivations

I just wanted to watch the new West Side Story because I love Rachel Zegler.

But then THIS mf has the audacity to show up:

And my first thought was “oh he would HATE Art Donaldson.”

NATALIE WOOD in WEST SIDE STORY (1961) I never like anybody disparaging anything Natalie did because | think she’s so wonderful in the role and the fact that it ended up not being her [singing] voice, to me made absolutely no difference. - GEORGE CHAKIRIS

06/01 Dans la culture de Kai, lorsque l'on perd un être cher, on symbolise cette perte en se coupant les cheveux. Kai a perdu son père après noël, en même temps il a perdu ses cheveux. Reste en paix Sahale.

Quelques jours plus tard, alors que les décorations de Noël étaient encore accrochées, un feu à détruit notre appartement. On a compris qu'il était temps de recommencer quelque chose de nouveau.

On a acheté une belle maison dans la campagne de Brindleton Bay, de nouvelles photos se sont accrochées sur nos murs, des photos d'Angeni qui faisait ses premiers pas.

Dans le froid de l'hiver, on a fait nos au revoir à la maison des Winslow, Tina, la petite sœur de Kai, ne se voyait pas d'entretenir cette maison remplie de souvenirs d'enfance.

20/04 Chère journal, le printemps est enfin venu montrer le bout de son nez, les cheveux de Kai poussent doucement, en même temps qu'il fait son deuil. J'aime voir que notre petite maison de campagne devient de plus en plus un lieu de rencontre, comme celle de mes parents.

Je pense que nous allons passer l'été à Windenburg chez mon frère Guillaume, cela marquera la première année d'Angeni dans ce monde.
