Alright we're watching Christmas Movies, specifically "Mrs Santa Claus" - made in 1996 as part of the Wonderful World of Disney which used to air on Sunday Nights.

It's my favorite. With the "Muppet Christmas Carol" a close second.

The best part? Over twenty years later - gods I cringe writing that - it still holds up. Marches for women's rights, strikes, workers writes, intercultural relationships, religions existing side by side, a wife finding herself and not being ignored. All of it still could stand today.

I have the DVD because I'm old. But I think it's on YouTube. Watch it. It's worth it.

Oh yeah, Angela Lansbury is Mrs Anna Claus. Yep. This one gave her a name. And a costume I'll one day recreate but I digress.

I'm serious though. To the library to the streaming sites. Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

Singin':

The ultimate. The movie about making movies. A 1950s fever dream set in the 1920s. Gorgeous people, in gorgeous costumes, singing gorgeous songs. Gene Kelly actively trying to kill himself with fever and making an iconic masterpiece of a title number. "People!?! I ain't people! I am a glittering star in the studio fermement. It says so. Right there."

Jukebox musical so good no one these days even knows it's a jukebox musical. Amazing dance sequences. As close to a canon ot3 as you can get in the 50s. Seriously just watch that Moses Supposes sequence and tell me those two goofballs aren't married.

The Muppet Christmas Carol:

*Screams Internally*

One of the most faithful adaptations of the Dickens novel, and one of the best. The songs in the film ARE sung and are absolutely perfect, relevant to the plot, and phenomenally performed by the cast. The songs were written by the great Paul Williams, whose life at that point had just mirrored Scrooge in that he was a changed man, and it shows via the lyrics!

Home Alone (1990)

[thoughtfulfangirling]

Home Alone (1 & 2) are easily the best Christmas movies. Very good call there hehe

As someone who's always had a very integrated family (my mom and dad are a part of each others' families even tho they've been divorced for 33 years), it's so silly to me that these holiday movies go on about how strange it is or even come up with elaborate reasons why someone who isn't a partner (yet) would be invited in. It's a no-brainer in my family — just have to make sure they're accounted for beforehand so there's enough food. My in-laws have been entirely adopted by my dad's family as well as my step-dad who's married to my mom. My mom and him have been a part of my paternal family gatherings as far back as I can remember. My step-dad's mom came to this year's thanksgiving. I just don't feel like it's a thing movies should have to try to sell us as an audience. Just, 'i asked if my friend could attend and they said the more the merrier'
