So spooky!

Sven and Maximus's wild adventure

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…

Get it?

Haha, I get it

This week, the trailer for the new Peter Pan & Wendy movie came out. I'm shocked that Disney is attempting to do a Peter Pan live-action remake; If they think they can compare to Hook , they are out of their minds. Personally, I was obsessed with the made-for-TV live-action Peter Pan starring Mary Martin in 1960. It was an adaptation of the Peter Pan Broadway musical, so Disney didn't get their greasy paws on it. My favorite thing about Peter Pan the musical is that they cast a middle-aged woma…

I don't know about y'all, but I'm curious to see how the live-action Little Mermaid movie will differ from its source material. It seems like every Disney live-action remake tries to comment on the movie it's based on, primarily trying to make it more feminist. The remakes of Beauty and the Beast , Aladdin , The Lion King , and Mulan all tried to amp up the feminism in their movies, almost trying to apologize for the allegedly inadequate “girl power” in the original films. I found this weird be…

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…

Of all of the billion-dollar corporations, there is not one 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 their products from their first days on earth to their dying moments, and no offense to Te…

The Twitter discourse that never dies

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…

When one Bob closes, another Bob opens. Last week, The Walt Disney Company revealed that Bob Iger is returning to Disney as their CEO, with Bob Chapek exiting the position after only two years. Bob Iger previously served as CEO from 2005-2020, with Chapek only serving for two years as CEO. Disney fans seem to be quite optimistic about Iger's return, especially regarding the Disney theme parks. The implementation of Disney Genie and costly fast passes have not fared well with fans, many of whom…

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,…
