The Cheetah Girls were right

Believe it or not, there are some fairy tales that Disney has yet to adapt into movies! The endless sources of folkloric inspiration are no small feature of the Disney brand and have been used for movies throughout the decades. I remember the buzz around Frozen when it first came out due in some part to it being based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. In hindsight, it's wild that it took Disney until 2010 to make a Rapunzel movie. But where to next? I have some ideas for the Walt Di…

This week, Disney announced several upcoming sequels: Frozen 3 , Zootopia 2 , Toy Story 5 , and Inside Out 2 . Toy Story 5 is simultaneously the most and least shocking of all the projects. Pixar cannot let Andy's toys go, and I understand why! I speak for millions when I say I would forever be entertained by hours of pointless episodic adventures of Woody, Buzz, Hamm, Slinky Dog, Bo Peep, and Rex. The numbers don't lie; every Toy Story movie has made absolute bank. Toy Story 5 will probably ma…

There has been a lot of drama in the Disney community this week, and it's all because of one theme park ride closing. Splash Mountain is not going away forever, but instead getting rethemed from featuring characters from Song of the South to Princess and the Frog . Splash Mountain was my favorite ride at Disneyland when I was a kid. It was the log flume at its peak form, with incredible animatronics and an epic 5-story drop. Even though I have a lot of nostalgia for it, I support the retheme. I…

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Creepypastas. Many of the most famous creepypastas originated on the Something Awful forum, where people would share their craziest “true” horror stories. People tried their hardest to create the most believable and terrifying scary stories, usually starring their own original monster. The most recognizable Creepypasta protagonists include Slenderman and Jeff The Killer, but one of my favorite Creepypastas was called 'Abandoned By Disney .' In 'Abandoned By…

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…

Disney couples are a very specific sort of cringe . My own aunt and uncle had their honeymoon at Disney World (and collect Disney watches) but that's nothing compared to the cringe of people who opt to get married at the park itself. I knew one such couple, and all of their savings would go to a yearly visit, which to me is inconceivable. Even that couple cannot hold a candle to another that got absolutely roasted on both Twitter and Reddit this past weekend.

“Mickey, you've made a terrible mistake…”

Warning: You'll never be able to look at these classic Disney characters again…
