The Twitter discourse that never dies

The Mouse loves memes

Happy New Year, Disney nerds! 2023 is upon us, and I, for one, am excited about what the new year has to offer regarding Disney projects. The movie I am most excited about has got to be the remake of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey. I may or may not have watched the pirated videos of her singing ‘Part of Your World’ from the D23 Expo, and I have never had so many chills from hearing somebody singing anything. I know that Halle is going to knock it out of the park, and I am so excited t…

Disney Adults are one of the most oppressed groups in the world today. Well, not necessarily, but they do get a lot of slack for the mere crime of liking a theme park. Sure, maybe wearing mouse ears and crying when you meet Donald Duck is “cringe” by the standards of conventional society, but within the gates of Disneyland, it's

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, all the creatures were stirring, especially The Mouse TM . It's no secret that the holiday season is the craziest time of the year to go to Disney theme parks. School is out for the kids, and parents have PTO to burn before it expires at the end of the year. The best part of going to Disney for Christmas is escaping the winter vortexes of Northern and non-Floridian cities. The worst part? The lines: Everywhere you go, the people, the c…

If they don't know what the leaning tower of Cheeza is, they're too young for you.

It's finally happening. The new Avatar movie is out in theaters, and all of us Pandora: The World of Avatar Fans are laughing in the faces of the naysayers. Everybody thought Disney was crazy for making a theme park based on Avatar. Everyone said over and over again that “Avatar has not cultural relevance” and “nobody remembers anything about Avatar,” but they were wrong.

This week, ABC released promotional photos for their new version of Beauty and the Beast starring HER, and I could not be more excited. The special's cast looks so good that it might override how much I hate the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast . Before you townsfolk get out your pitchforks and form a mob over my bad take, let me explain. As a former theatre kid , I saw more high school productions of Beauty and the Beast, the musical, than anyone should legally be allowed to be subject…

Do any of you all remember the Peter Pandom ; the massive group of Tumblr fangirls who were obsessed with the actors who played Peter Pan at Disneyland? It was one of those phenomena that, upon reflection, feels like something I hallucinated when I had the swine flu. Do y'all remember the swine flu? Those were the days. Anyways, the fandom relied on teens who would go to Disneyland for the expressed purpose of telling Peter Pan all about their mental health issues. These fangirls would film the…

Let's be honest: Disney theme parks are literally the best theme parks in the world, and it's not even close. I know that Disney fans have dealt with many issues since the parks reopened. The mouse is really trying to get every dollar you've got and then some. They're even making park guests pay for Fast Passes now! What is this? Six Flags? While some regular park visitors might disagree, as somebody who loves theme parks generally but hasn't been to Disney in 5 years, no other parks compare. D…

When I was a little kid, I was vehemently anti-princess . I don't remember my exact thought process from when I was three years old, but I know I did not like them. There is an iconic childhood photo of me from "Princess Day" at preschool, wearing a collegiate sweatshirt and looking downright angry. I was not having it. Although the princess and I community started off on the wrong foot, I started to like princess movies more as I got older. By the time I was ten, I was a proud Cinderella stan,…

I've been a big Disney fangirl since I was a kid, and at this point, I'm seriously worried about what the future will look like for the company. They've been consistently releasing live-action versions of their animated classics for about 7 years, and yet it feels like they've been doing it for a lifetime. Eventually, they will run out of properties they want to adapt, and IMHO, that's when the fun will really begin. Honestly, if they even hint at making a Frozen live-action movie less than 20…

Of all of the billion-dollar corporations, there is none with better brand recognition than Disney. How could there be? Do you think Apple could make timeless animated classics, less timeless live-action flicks, incredible theme parks, and Twitches ? I don't think so. Disney has convinced millions of people to wear their logo as merchandise. Google could literally never. Disney has got people consuming its products from their first days on this green earth to their dying moments, and no offense…

Disney movies really accurately portray the pressure society puts on all of us to grow up. When you’re a kid , you never think the time will come when you’ll feel like a grown up for real, but it always sneaks up on us. This transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but I’d say most of us have had several moments throughout our lives where we’ve realized just how adult we actually are. And this might kind of be a controversial opinion, but I think getting older is good, actually. When you’re a k…
