I just remembered that in the 1958 French film Grantaire says to Enjolras ‘Tu vas pas partir sans moi’ (‘You won’t leave (go) without me’) - before they get shot, and I need a hug before I start crying in this coffee shop

All the years I spent watching Mary Poppins, I never thought that Michael Banks would be out here making me cry in 2019.

The live version of Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. by Simon & Garfunkel except you’re camping out in the country near a creek, finding yourself unable to sleep around 3am. You think it’s the perfect excuse to get your tape player and play this song.

talk to me about mary poppins returns i just saw it the other day and im super curious about ur thoughts

ok my good sir/lady/whomever, you are opening some floodgates here bc most of my thoughts are about mr michael banks and I have a LOT of said thoughts so first, to get the other stuff out of the way:

-the kids were precious & I love them

-as a Basic Musical Theatre Stan, I thrived as I watched Lin Manuel Miranda in a Disney movie musical

-Emily Blunt,,,please,,,,punch me in the face I love you

-this fun-loving and chaotic casual demigod version of Ms. Poppins is way more accurate to P. L. Travers’ vision than the prim & proper simple witch seen in the original movie

-the scene inside the bowl was visually SUBERP

-I like how all the songs parallel a song from the original

-I cried 4 times 

okay now,,,, oh god this is going to be so long THE GOOD MR MICHAEL BANKS HAD THE CHARACTER ARC OF A LIFETIME please let me talk about this I’m on the verge of a breakdowN 

Since Michael’s arc was kind of like George Banks’ arc from the original but, like, supercharged, they targeted me personally as someone who weirdly feels an emotional connection to the George Banks arc (but not because it has any personal value to me, rather because I have seen Saving Mr. Banks 50 million times & it’s one of my favorite movies lol). This was a BEAUTIFUL and nuanced take on the “oh gosh am I becoming my father??” trope (that, as a tony stark stan, I am always a sucker for). Michael’s arc was a never-stated but constant comparison to George- sometimes through juxtaposition, and sometimes through parallelism. At the beginning, when we see Michael as a loving dad who doesn’t get angry over the chaos of the burst pipe, it’s like “oh, he’s nothing his dad was!” But who we’re really seeing is a quietly but deeply hurting man whose fundamental kindness keeps him from becoming cold. It’s only when the terrible stress of losing his house falls upon him that he begins to act like his father. He scolds his children with uncharacteristic severity and says that he’ll deal with them how he likes because he’s their father, and that just SCREAMS George Banks, and the audience is like “oh man, he’s really become his father, huh?” That parallel is super clear, but Michael never truly became his father, because Michael never lost his heart & soul. Beneath his coldness was always this brokenness and desperation. While George’s cold scolding was “I’m telling you to behave because I want my children to be quiet and orderly”, Michael’s scolding was “I’m telling you to behave because I’m being crushed under the stress of my life and don’t know how to deal with it.” The most telling scene was when Michael had a breakdown and cried in front of his children- that was the confirmation that no, at his core, Michael could never become his father. It is only further proven when he allows himself to move on & realize the important things with help from his kids, whose ideas and words he respected & took to heart. In the end, George’s story was about redemption, but Michael’s story was about reclamation- reclamation of the man he was before the selfish world shattered his fragile self. And I think that’s beautiful.

Anyway. I’m sorry about this. But I had to get it out and in my defense, my friend, you decided to knock on my door and invite this rant and if anyone thought it wouldn’t be two million words long then you’re not familiar with me and my long winded tendencies have a good day

Details From Disney Movies

In The Lion King, unlike the other lions, Scar’s claws are always displayed throughout the movie.

In The Little Mermaid (1998) when King Triton is introduced, you can see Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Kermit the Frog in the crowd, underwater.

In Cars, the flies are actually tiny cars with wings.

In Hercules (1997) the Fates tell Hades all the planets will align but only show 6 planets aligning. These are the 5 planets plus Earth that the ancient Greeks were aware of and could see with the naked eye.

In Zootopia, while Officer Judy Hopps is ticketing cars around the city, she never crosses the street illegally. She always uses a crosswalk and looks both ways before crossing.

In monsters inc, sully’s chair has a hole in it to accommodate his tail.

In The Brave Little Toaster, all of the walls in the cottage are cleaned only as high as Blanky can reach.

In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, during the food storm the president’s of Mount Rushmore get pied in the face but Abe gets hit in the back just like his assassination.

In Cars the truck stop advertises “convertible waitresses” i.e., topless.

In Finding Nemo, Bruce the shark starts crying when Marlin starts talking about Nemo, saying “I never knew my father”. Male sharks mate with the female then leave, so baby sharks never actually meet their father.

The Magic Carpet from Aladdin makes an appearance in Moana.

In UP, there are craft supplies on the table by Ellie’s hospital bed when she gives the Adventure Book to Carl.

The hold up scene in the Incredibles is actually an homage to a similar scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance, which also starred Samuel L. Jackson.

In Toy Story 3 (2010) Buzz Lightyear’s batteries are exposed showing the Buy n Large brand, the same company responsible for making WALL·E.

In Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego’s typewriter resembles a skull and his office a coffin.

In Monsters, Inc. (2001), there are multiple sizes of coffee cup for each of the different sized monsters.

In Toy Story 2 (1999), as the restorationist is going through his equipment, he opens a drawer filled with chess pieces. This is a reference to the Pixar short “Geri’s Game” where a similar looking man plays a game of chess against himself.

In Inside Out (2015) while going through Imagination Land a game box can be seen in the background with Nemo on it called Find Me.

In Cars, you can spot Sully and Mike in cars form!

At the end of Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego is a little bit fatter. This is especially poignant since he states, “I don’t like food, I love it… if I don’t love it I don’t swallow.”

In Coco we can see The Incredibles poster.

Insuricare, the company that offers “car life insurance” to the cars in Cars 2, is the same company Bob Parr works for in The Incredibles.

In Inside Out (2015) two of the memory orbs on the shelves contain scenes from Up (2009). One features Carl & Ellie’s wedding, while the other shows their house.

In Toy Story Woody is trapped in a crate which is stuck under a ‘Binford’ tool-box. Binford is the fictional tool company in the TV show Home Improvement which starred Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear.

In The Incredibles, in Bob Parr’s home office, there’s a photo from a fishing trip where it appears he caught Bruce from Finding Nemo.

In Cars 2 (2011) while in a pub in London there is a tapestry on the wall that is the DunBroch family tapestry from Brave (2012), except they are portrayed as cars.

In “Ratatouille” (2007), Linguini has to hide Remy before his second day of work. He offers to hide him in his pants, revealing his briefs covered in The Incredibles logo.

After the plane is blown up in The Incredible, Helen (Elastigirl) knows the plane debris is going to fall on them due to seeing the reflection in the water.

tbh the real advice I’d give to anyone is, do shit alone. go to a museum & go at your own pace & leave the instant you’re done. go somewhere you’ve never been and just wander around, duck into & out of places as it pleases you. linger as long as you’d like.
