The 90s/early 2000s was the best Disney era for male protagonists

This isn't all of them, but these were the best of them, imo. And this is just the characters; how I felt about their movies varies. I hope more Disney films in the future feature male leads--especially musicals! Aladdin, Hercules, and Quasimodo are the only human male protagonists in a musical where they sang substantively (thus eliminating Tarzan, Mowgli, Simba, and Arthur).

Imagining fairy tales as Disney Golden Age animated films:

Thumbelina

The opening storybook is about her mother wanting a child and planting the flower seed to get one.

The story then starts with Thumbelina's "birth" from the flower. She's presented as not quite an infant, but as a very young child. Long sequences of her exploring the cottage and garden of her home.

A lot of work put into perspective--keeping this at Thumbelina's level, showing the world as a huge place. Extreme work put into details because everything is oversized. It's beautiful, very realistic, almost bankrupts them, and no one appreciates it.

The mother is rotoscoped, while Thumbelina herself is a bit more cartoony.

All the animal friends in this story are extremely cute. The toads sit in this uncanny valley between cartoonish and realistic that makes them scary in a different way than was intended. A particularly silly-looking screenshot of one of them becomes a meme.

Thumbelina's main struggle is staying cheerful through all her dangerous misadventures. She succeeds, with song.

The mouse is a somewhat comic, somewhat anthropomorphized mouse. She's a mother figure who's more demanding than the idealized human mother of Thumbelina's carefree childhood.

Thumbelina is an excellent housekeeper for the mouse and nurse to the injured swallow.

The mole is presented as a comic character who turns unexpectedly sinister when Thumbelina resists his marriage proposal. There's a nightmare sequence of Thumbelina going into his tunnels and feeling trapped and fleeing with terror into the sunlight.

It ends with a very Fantasia-esque ballet-inspired sequence as Thumbelina finds a home among the flower fairies.

The Goose Girl

Opening storybook explains how the princess is sent off to marry a prince, the handmaid is jealous, and steals the princess' identity, forcing her to work as a goose girl.

The goose girl is very kind to her geese. The geese are cute and provide lots of silly little slapstick interludes set to music.

Falada is pastured with other horses nearby, and the goose girl talks to him. He's a very expressive animal companion, but still silent.

The prince meets the goose girl unexpectedly in the pasture. They get a cute little love duet.

The handmaid gets threatened by this and recruits Conrad the goose boy to kill the goose girl.

The wind is presented early on as another living thing that the goose girl is kind to. Perhaps a windy day is causing her trouble, and she unthinkingly is like "Stop it!" as it sends some adorable little goslings tumbling over each other. And then it turns out the wind is a living creature, and takes various shapes with leaves and things, and proves to be a bit bashful at being scolded, and has a long sequence of helping to tidy up and generally being playful.

When Conrad tries to kill the goose girl, she calls on the wind for help, and it becomes this terrifying elemental force that leaves her and us shocked at what she's just unleashed.

The princess flees and runs into the prince, who is unable to get the full story out of her (either because she's too terrified to think straight, can't speak because of some vow, or has some reason to think she can't trust him).

Conrad runs back to the handmaid, who decides to kill the princess herself.

The princess tries to escape on Falada during a thunderstorm. The handmaid tries to chase her down and in the process Falada winds up getting killed or injured so the goose girl either has to flee on foot or just plain stop to help him, thus allowing the handmaid to catch up.

The geese and the wind work to get the prince there in time to hear the handmaid reveal that she's not the true princess and to save the true princess just as the handmaid winds up getting trampled/pushed over a cliff by her own horse.

Very brief happy ending--all sunshine and flowers and happy choir singing--as the goose girl goes back to the palace in the arms of her beloved and takes her place as the true princess.

Disney Animated Movie Music

Our first tournament (the reason we even created this blog) is about which animated Disney movie has the best music.

Nominate your favorite Disney animated movies based on their music. Whether it be your absolute favorite song, the genius of the composer, the contribution to music, which soundtrack is full of the most bangers, or really anything you want, as long as you include the name, it will be considered.

There is space for you to nominate up to five films if you are super committed to one movie you can always put it multiple times. there is no requirement for you to chose five movies as well. And for clarification; this is for purely animated movies. We will accept Pixar as well as Disney Animated Studios, but not something acquired by Disney (like Anastasia 1997). We also will not accept Mary Poppins, High School Musical, or (while we do call it an animated movie) the 2019 Lion King and the like here.

The votes will be tallied to create the bracket inclusions and placements. Any movie that has won or been nominated for a notable award (like Oscars) will start with one point for each nomination and two points for each win.

The size of the bracket will depend on how many submissions are received. Nominations will remain open until May 20th, unless we are overwhelmed. (in that case we will close it early after announcing the change).

Hope y'all are interested in medieval English systems of cadency and how they changed over the centuries between their invention and, say, the death of Elizabeth. With side rants about heraldry as a game of telephone as it was played across Europe.

No?

How about the importance of native plants and animals? Side rants include permaculture, why grass lawns are terrible, why hottuniya cordata should be banned from sale in the US, fucking colonization, foraging, why petty town ordinances that force grass lawns are bullshit, and more.

No?

How about I keep talking for half an hour listing things I could easily talk for half an hour about?

the spn drama could take a whole year to explain in the least so i’m good

A common occurrence for Sydney, Australia based animation studio. Mr. Big Cartoons. Was that sometimes, their animation can be fully inbetweened. And in other moments, like this one here. It’s janky pose to pose animation reminiscent of Lacewood Productions’ work on Season 1 of Ren & Stimpy. This is from the rather bleh season 5 episode, Travelouge.

If Disney was just starting to do remakes, this is how I'd feel about it. You may be surprised

Note: this is concerning REMAKES, not reimagining (ie Maleficent) or sequels (Alice in Wonderland). Lemme know if you have any questions/concerns!

I mean, renaissance does extend to the modern era but started during the middle ages. Discovery of the Americas / reformation are what are usually used as the symbolic cut-off points

no, this is actually completely wrong. modernity is a sticky but diaphanous fluid which began to seep up through a crack in the earth's crust below florence, italy, after the earthquake of september 28, 1453. it adheres vigorously to animal flesh, and minute traces are spread by person to person contact. even in trace amounts, its presence inhibits miracles, spiritual apparitions, and feudalism, and encourages the mercantile spirit, which is why its spread ended the middle ages. it also enables the visual cortex to comprehend perspective, which is why paintings looked so funny before. unfortunately it also tends to accumulate in the inner ear, dampening transcendent vibrations that otherwise are naturally picked up by the auditory nerve, making it impossible for humans to hear the voice of the divine.

that sounds bad, but most of what untainted humans in europe were perceiving as the voice of the divine was actually just the voice of a lesser divinity that pope adrian iv trapped in the roman catacombs, harvesting its body for communion. while non-sentient, the psychic defense mechanism of this creature produced aggression, zealotry, and visions of fire. since modernity is toxic to divine beings, despite the church's best efforts it began to sicken in the 17th century and by the 18th was in dire condition. its death finally enabled the first vatican council to occur.

of course if you ask about this at the vatican they won't tell you the truth. it's not on purpose: when divine beings die all memory of them vanishes from this plane of existence as well, including written records. but traces remain if you know where to look. you didn't think the eucharist was always just a little cracker and a sip of wine, did you? that wouldn't make sense. it doesn't even look like flesh.
