A lot of people treat animated media as if it's lesser, childish, and not to be taken seriously. Obviously, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of animation expert, but if you've seen a single Studio Ghibli film, Pixar, or even just the newest Spider-Verse flick, you know just how impressive the genre can be. Sure, there are low-effort movies aimed at the sole objective of entertaining children. But that's not exclusive to animation . Just look a…

I hate to break it to y'all, but your opinion on the best Disney movie of all time isn't correct. Well, it might be correct, but there's no way it's without bias. If you're over the age of 18, you probably grew up watching Disney movies on the few DVDs or VHS tapes that your family owned. You watched the same ten movies on repeat for years, regardless of how good they were. You told everyone that Treasure Planet and Robin Hood were certified hits not because they are, but because your child bra…

Ah yes, the non-thiefing pirates

Every day you consume things. Unless you are sitting in a dark room with no technology because you're recovering from a concussion or you're a deeply neglected child (and if you're either of those things, I'm terribly sorry), you consume stuff with your eyes and other less important senses every day. You see buses, Comedy Central sitcoms that got canceled after three seasons, and God . Just kidding about that last one, unless you're highly advanced, or you're that person suffering from that con…

Pixar recently announced there is a new entry to the Up cinematic universe coming soon. A new short film following Carl as he prepares for his first date since Ellie’s death will be released this summer, and fans are already crying over it. Luckily, it doesn't seem like a lot of Pixar fans are angry at Carl for dating after Ellie's passing. Knowing how much the first 15 minutes of Up made so many of us cry, I'm hoping that this will be a happy film so I'm not

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…

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…

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…
