This is a very specific poll lol, but I'm curious if any of my Traumatized Scenes is shared by anyone else on Tumblr. Happy voting! ❤

Wish is just a normal Disney film just like all the rest.

Wish is actually a damn good movie, there I said it!

I'm going to start by saying this much, it's very odd to me that so many people are now screaming for a love story from Disney, when not even five or ten years ago there was shouting from the roof tops about Disney doing TOO MUCH romance. For the longest time it was "I wish Disney wouldn't do pairings" "Ugh another romance, can't the princess not." Etc. Now everyone wants one, even though Romance isn't really as big a Disney trope as people think.

Actually let's go through the animated catalogue and see how frequently the love story is centered as the main conflict and asperation to the character. In this case it's the key thing, not a 'Oh they happen to like each other in the end' situation, it's THE thing, the point of the movie is their romance. Then let's see how many have it as the secondary aspect, and let's see how many have it as not important at all. (And we're talking romantic love, not family love)

Romance (Total number: 15)

Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Secondary Characters hook up so this is a weird one), Doug's First Movie, Tarzan, Lizzie McGuire the Movie, Enchanted, The Princess and the Frog (Only from Naveen's POV), Tangled (could be seen as secondary too)

Secondary (Total Number: 25)

Fantasia, Bambi, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free , Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Cinderella Sleeping Beauty

One Hundred and One Dalmatians , Robin Hood, The Rescuers , The Fox and the Hound , Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Rescuers Down under

The Nightmare before Christmas, The Lion King ,Hercules ,Mulan ,Fantasia 2000 , Dinosaur, Atlantis the Lost Empire , Meet the Robinsons , Frankenweenie ,Frozen, , Strange World

Not in it at all (Total Number: 42 -including Wish)

Pinocchio, The Reluctant Dragon, Dumbo, Saludos Amigos, Victory through Air power, Three Caballeros, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan

Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective

Oliver and Company, Ducktales the Treasure of the lost lamp, A Goofy Movie, James and the Giant Peach, The Tigger Movie

The Emperor's new Groove, Recess School's out, Return to Neverland, Lilo and Stich, Treasure Planet, The Jungle Book 2

Piglet's big Movie, Brother Bear, Teacher's Pet, Home on the Range, Pooh's Heffalump Movie, Chicken Little, The Wild

Bolt, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck it Ralph, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana, Wreck it Ralph 2, Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, Wish

These are just the animated not live action, and not live action with animation movies. All in all it's more common to see a Disney film with NO romance in it at all then a romantic one.

So why is it that people keep saying, but we're missing the romance, it's because of the fact that most of the time the Parks and other media pair the characters together. Take Peter pan, in the movie, the boy is utterly oblivious to Wendy's affections, to the point of pissing her off enough that she leaves the party that the tribe is hosting. In the parks, and other media (the plays, other movies) the romance is in your face, because people want them to be a couple, but in the movie itself you never see it.

Star, based on the making of book, was supposed to be a younger version of Asha's grandfather, which fits the theming of the movie. However, from what I understand, one of the reasons why they went against is was because it was hitting to close to Genie in the shape shifting. On top of that, the character of Star, seems heavily inspired by the art work of William Joyce, who created Night Light.

This is him and Katherine (Future Mother Goose) who is basically Star in a lot of ways. He lights the night to keep the nightmares away. These two eventually grow up (He remembers He's jack frost) and they end up as a couple.

It would be apping off of that story, and sadly people didn't give the William Joyce movie Meet the Robinsons a chance (don't sleep on that folks please! It is a good story.)

Also straight up give more love to the Guardian's of Childhood, you'll be happy while you read it.

I'm not saying don't ship it, what I am saying is that please don't go saying this was planned when it really wasn't. That was supposed to be her grandfather there.

And I'm not against the art work, I find it very cute and sweet and lover the designs. But I do think that the whole, "WE WERE ROBBED!" thing isn't being at all fair to the creative team behind this story, as again, *points up* they were following the tradition of a story that doesn't have a love interest, which is the vast majority of the stories that they tell.

Wish perfectly falls in line also with Disney's normal length of animated movies.

Wish was 1 hours and 35 minutes

The movie that came out before it clocked in at

Strange World = 1 hours and 42 minutes

Moana = 1 hours and 47 minutes

Frozen = 1 hours and 42 minutes

This Hour long movie thing started really with Atlantis the Lost Empire = 1 hours and 36 minutes

While Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch all clock in around =1 hour and 30 at most, some are even less than that. Wish's run time is equal to that of Atlantis, or Aladdin, or Treasure planet. So I'm a bit perplexed on the "It's too short" thing. Maybe growing up just before and during the days of Little Mermaid and Aladdin made me like the shorter tales.

Which is another point. With a shorter movie, you never get complete backstory. It's a fairy tale! I mean, look at Little Mermaid. Seriously can you Name any of her sisters from the opening song.

Like seriously, I don't really know a lot of people who can tell me anything about Aquatica, for example. Unless you actually read the books or watched the TV show. And before then we had nothing. Nothing on her mom, nothing on her sisters.

Then there's the town Belle comes from, what do we know about it? Not much, not even who governs the damn thing. Howe about Aladdin before the TV series and King of thieves cleared up everything. We didn't know who his parents were, nor Jasmine's mom. Hell we still don't know anything about Cinderella's father from the animated movie.

Point being, a lot of information, much like Wish, got cut for time. In Snow white we were supposed to be given a longer back story for her father and mother, that was cut due to it being to long, it's in the golden book though. Prince Florian (Yes that is his name) was supposed to have Prince Phillips escape, but it was deemed to hard to animate at the time.

Also there was one that was dancing on the clouds, with STARS, around them that looks very much like you know, our Star.

So basically, he's a nod to what could have been for Snow White all those years ago. Cut for time.

Aladdin had a whole cut song because they chopped his mother out as she was supposed to play a part in the movie and help her son with the Genie.

Zena is her name and she was cut to streamline the film.

Maid Marian in the original Robin Hood was supposed to protect him after his plunge into the water, and protect him from King John while he's threatening her. King Richard appears in the end and scares him into stopping but she's willing to take a dagger to the chest to protect Robin.

This is when Richard meets Robin with Marian telling him all about what happened.

All Disney movies change. Isabel in Encanto was supposed to have a nerdy boyfriend that the family disapproved of.

Hell, Frozen was at one point going to be the Bad guy wins the guy, the hero (Gerta) that we followed all the way to the end rooting for her, was supposed to be a gold digger, and Kai was supposed to say "Nah, I'm gonna stick with the Snow Queen" because she's sad and your a bitch. (Thanks Eisner, I hate it!)

So yeah, there's probably A whole lot of cut content that was supposed to go in, but to streamline it to 95 minutes, you have to cut! At least it's not what happened to the Black Cauldron. No I will never forgive Katzenburg for that travesty!

Disney always used Popular Music over Broadway

Honestly this is the one complaint that I hear that kills me the most about this movie, that the studio went with a pop music team. As if this is not a common thing for Disney movies!

Fun fact, the team behind most of the musical scores up until the 1960s were all composers and musicians that wrote songs for the radio. Or song writers that did radio music. If I listed every single one we'd be here for ages.

The Sherman brothers actually wrote pop tunes for the Teen sweetheart Annette Funicello and several other well known singers and actors of movies.

The first major Broadway group was Ashman and Menken, Followed by Miranda, and the Lopez's. Most, if not all of the biggest Disney songs were written by pop songwriters, whos goal it was to get that song played on the radio.

Hell The Lion King, Tarzan, The Emperors New Groove, and Treasure planet to name a few were all done by Pop musicians. I didn't hear complaining about it back then! What's the difference now? Because the team is not Elton freaking John, or Sting?

All of Oliver and Company was pop songs. Several movies didn't have songs, or only had one.

If we're going to celebrate a studio that helped bring an artform out of it's infancy and show that you could do a full movie of animated pictures where you get emotions out of it, we need to celebrate all aspects, and that includes things we may not realize are kind of unique.

When Hercules and Hunchback came out, people complained about them not being "Traditional" Disney. It was Gospel, it was too dark, or in the case of Tarzan, why are we following a boy, or Treasure planet, "Yuck a space story". Now people adore these movies. People who grew up with them want to celebrate them, and sometimes they don't realize that they were once derided as hard or harder than Wish is being right now.

I just wish that people would give these movies a chance rather than not let the creatives tell their story. We had a whole damn section of 2D animation in Strange World! No one talked about it! No one went "More of this please". Give me these stories, let me enjoy a original fairy tale, because if we keep rehashing things, there's going to be little to celebrate when the next 10 or 20 years rolls around.

Sorry for the kinda rant. This has just been on my nerves for a while.

Disney 100 ✨🏰🤍

Wishing you all a happy new year and to Disney, a belated 100th anniversary! 🎉

To celebrate Disney’s century milestone, I created an illustration based on 100 of Disney’s most known and loved characters from their respective movies/ series. I’ve included all the ones I’ve known and feel are generally popular but I’m sorry if your personal favourites aren’t here.

This has been in the works for almost four months now but due to many delays I couldn’t finish it on time. So here it finally is!

Out of all these range characters, the hardest to draw was the Cars. I’m not used to drawing cars so I’m not generally good at them (yet). Some of these may look simple and easy to draw but trust me, they’re not 😂.

With drawing the characters and the background, I like to be accurate with the respective style it’s drawn/ animated in and the colours too. But also I wanted to also simplify the 3D ones and add a little depth using shadow to the 2D ones. For example some of these films would have a desaturated grainy effect to it and I wanted to keep that. But finally after months of working on it, it’s completed and I’m happy with it! ✨.

Please, please do check it out on Instagram too:

The thing with Beauty and the Beast: An enchanted Christmas is that little me did not understand it was a midquel. I mean, it is pretty obvious it is, but 4 year old me just didn't pay attention.

I saw it as "the second movie", meaning I thought it was a sequel, thus taking place after the first film. This meant that I legit came up with this theory that every other year, they get transformed back to objects and to a beast, as like a side effect of being transformed for so long. So every other year they're object, every other year they're humans.

I thought this made very much sense!

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997)

dir. Andy Knight

-Good morning. -Hello..

[adventurelandia]

Beauty and the Beast - The Enchanted Christmas (1997)

[halfmoon-horse]

Miles, Phoenix and Larry were 9 in 2001 so they were born in 1992/3 which means there is a list of animated films (of varying quality) that they almost definitely watched INCLUDING:

We're Back! A Dinosaur Story (1993)

Those shitty direct to VHS Beauty and the Beast sequels like Belle's Enchanted Christmas

The Lion King (1994), and other masterpieces of the Disney renaissance

The Pagemaster (1994)

Balto (1995 - which one of them was a wolf kid?)

The Pebble and the Penguin (1995 - it's so bad and I love it dearly)

Space Jam (1997)

Anastasia (1997) and it's direct-to-video spinoff sequel Bartok the Magnificent (1999)

Antz (1998)

The Prince of Egypt (1998)

The Iron Giant (1999)

The Road to El Dorado (2000)

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

Help I'm a Fish! (2000 - weird but it stars Alan Rickman so I'll give it a pass)

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

Osmosis Jones (2001)

Spirited Away (2001 - which one is the weeb?)

Shrek (2001 - exquisite taste)

There's loads more. And that's not even considering movies that came out before they were born but probably saw.

Which movie was whose favourite VHS tape? Which did they see in theatres? Which were the other two forced to watch at sleepovers by the host? Who had the best taste in movies? The worst? The weirdest?

[stephantom]

7 and 8 for the film ask!

7. Answered!

8. Has a film ever made you extremely angry?

The Time Machine (that’s not how time travel would work!!)

Signs (as an agnostic deist teen, I was theologically opposed to and offended by depictions of miracle-based faith PLUS it’s just a stupid movie lol)

The Hobbit movies (maybe not extremely angry… just disappointed)

Dirty Harry (copaganda)

The Beguiled (justice for that turtle, fr)

Goldfinger (I think it was that one? and James Bond movies generally, but especially the older ones)

Leon the Professional (I hear the non-extended edition isn’t as obviously pedophilic but yeah wtf)

A Clockwork Orange (I just… find it triggering tbh)

The Wolf On Wall Street (I know depiction does not equal endorsement but damn did this movie revel in the shit it was supposedly condemning)

Love Actually (more annoying than enraging but)

Jurassic World (ugh Chris Pratt’s whole character and the dynamic between him and Claire was dumb and gross and then the way [spoiler?] dies wtffff)

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (idk, I saw this when I was 9 and I knew even at that age it had no right to exist)

[thenightling]

Terminology clarifications

Roughly twenty years ago or so Hollywood finally caught on that there was a negative stigma attached to the term “Remake.”  The word “Reboot” was adopted to mean the redoing of a franchise from the beginning. Other terms (which already existed but were not in common use for movies) were also adopted. Lately the terms are used pretty interchangeably on social media and even on entertainment news sites so that people are getting confused and many so-called reporters just don’t care. Here are the terms and what they actually mean. Remake - The term Remake was quietly dropped by Hollywood years ago but it’s become the more honest term. This is when a single movie is redone with a new cast of actors and with newer (and hopefully better) special effects. Sometimes The time period the film is set in is also updated but that’s not a requirement, especially in a period piece like most Dracula and Sherlock Holmes movies. Example:  The Fly (1986) is actually a remake of a 1950s film of the same name.  __________________________  Reboot - A reboot is when an entire film franchise is restarted from the beginning all over again. An example of this is the 2010 version of Nightmare on Elm Street.  ________________ 

A soft-reboot - A soft reboot is when some previous content is kept in tact, while others are ignored.  Example - The Halloween franchise has had a soft-reboot where only the first movie was acknowledged and several sequels were ignored before the most recent movies. ________________________    Revival - A revival is when an older franchise / continuity is brought back and the latest film or TV show continues where the old story left off.  Sometimes revivals are also a soft-reboot.   Quantum Leap has been called a reboot but it is actually a revival.   _____________________________________   Reimagining - A reimagining is reserved for an adaptation of a previously existing source material like a novel.  Sometimes a remake, reboot, and reimagining are all the same thing and neither is actually wrong.  But this term is specifically reserved for something with a pre-existing source material so the film makers (or showrunners) can claim they are looking at the source material in a different way then the previous group that had adapted it.  Often the reality is the reimagining has become a quiet code for “Less faithful to the source material” and “More creative liberties have been taken this time.”      Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2006) was supposed to be a reimagining of the novel that had previously been adapted as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. _________________________________  Sequel - A sequel is a second film in a franchise.  Sometimes if there are many films after the first one, like a nineth or tenth installment you’d call it “yet another sequel.” Example:  1988′s Fright Night: Part 2 is the sequel to the 1985 film Fright Night. _________________________________________  Trilogy - When there are three films in a franchise. This has become rare but it’s a good number for most film franchises. Example:   The Godfather, The Godfather Part 2, and The Godfather Part 3. ______________________  Mid-quel or Midquel - A film set in the middle of the first story of a franchise.    Example:  Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a midquel. _______________________  prequel - A film set before the actual first film of a franchise. Example:  Scoob. Scoob was meant to be a prequel to the original Scooby Doo Where are you? _____________________    Spin-off - A film set in the same universe or continuity as another film series or TV show.   Example:  Angel was a spin-off of Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series.   _______________________________ Adaptation - This is when a play, book, graphic novel, comic book, Manga, TV show, cartoon, video game, etc has been adapted into a new form (usually for the first time) such as a film or TV series. The Sandman Netflix series is an adaptation of the work of Neil Gaiman. _____________________________  What we actually need is a new term for when an older franchise is revived AFTER it had a bad reboot that has now been ignored.   Examples of this are  Ghostbusters: Afterlife The Halloween franchise ignoring the Rob Zombie version. The Chucky TV series ignoring the Child’s Play remake.  Fright Night (which will now be given a book series continuation from the original 80s movies, ignoring the 2011 remake and the 2013 remake that was passed off as a sequel to the 2011 film).
