I recognise Walt Disney’s talent but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted. Though in most of the pictures proceeding from [Disney] studios there are admirable or charming passages, the effect of all of them to me is disgusting. Some have given me nausea.

J.R.R. Tolkien

If Disney turned his stomach we can assume Tolkien would be turning in his grave at what Amazon Studios have done with 'Rings of Power'.

Tolkien's main objection to Disney - and something shared with C.S. Lewis - was how childish Disney treated fairy tales. For Tolkien fairy tales were serious business.

At the crux of his argument, which explores the nature of fantasy and the cultural role of fairy tales, is the same profound conviction that there is no such thing as writing “for children.” Tolkien insists that fairy tales aren’t inherently “for” children but that we, as adults, simply decided that they were, based on a series of misconceptions about both the nature of this literature and the nature of children. Tolkien deeply believe in language, myth, and Fairy, in that he recognised, they are deeply human things. Indeed, it is a natural right of humanity to produce fantasy.

And ye fail completely when we believe that Fairy is for children, Tolkien argued, noting that traditionally Fairy deals with the most difficult human problems, and children - understood as yet-to-be-formed humans - fall into the category of human, but they have no special hold or understanding of Fairy. Tolkien argued that the path to Fairy is neither the path to heaven nor to hell. It might be somewhat purgatorial, however, and certainly otherworldly. Fairy itself, far from being supernatural, is the most natural of worlds. Indeed, it is extraordinarily natural, as natural things live only as themselves. Rather Platonically, the tree is truly the tree (Treebeard), wine is truly wine, and bread (Lembas) is truly bread in Fairy. That is, there is little if any separation of the accidents of a thing from the essence of a thing. Those in fairy, though, through pride of beauty, often present themselves in disguise and as things they are not, thus befuddling the wanderer.

Words, definitions, and analyses, Tolkien warned, can offer only so much understanding of Fairy. Instead, one must not only travel to and through Fairy, but he must also recognise that fairy - like all mythology - is an expression of our deepest longings and fears.

A genuine fantasy, according to Tolkien, creates an immersive experience for the reader. In a successful fantasy, the author is a ‘sub-creator’: as Tolkien puts it, “He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside.”

He goes on to argue that this sort of fantasy has three essential functions: recovery, escape, and consolation. Using the metaphor of a dirty, smudged window - whose film of grime obscures what we see through it - he says that we need “to clean our windows; so that the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness or familiarity - from possessiveness.” Fantasy helps us with this recovery of clear vision. He distinguishes the literary escape offered by good fantasy from the negative quality of escapism. And he explains the idea of consolation by coining the word eucatastrophe. It is formed of ‘eu,’ meaning good, attached to ‘catastrophe, and it means “the good catastrophe”: the unexpected happy ending, which gives us a profound taste of joy. We see it in The Lord of the Rings with the rescue of Frodo and Sam, after the destruction of the Ring, when they are sure that all is lost; we see it even more fully in the final chapters and indeed the final pages of the tale.

I wanna talk about Elijah Walton and what he and his brother represent in the story because I think it's really interesting.

It's really interesting how Elijah and Don are pretty much an exact mirror of Walt and Roy Disney, even down to their roles in the company. Walt and Elijah were the creatives and Roy and Don were the finance and when Walt died, Roy took over. Atleast this is according to a quick google search. (Though I dont really like comparing Elijah to Walt to a tee just because he was a raging Racist, Sexist and overall bigot while also exploiting his workers and Elijah is propped up to very much be a good person by the narrative, so I'd like to think Elijah wasnt those things atleast for the purpose of this analysis)

Elijah represents those who want to tell stories. The artists, writers, creators etc. He represents the wonder and joy of creating things for others to see and the passion behind it. He is what Walt Disney presented himself as, a fatherly and whimsical story teller sharing art with the masses. His demeanor is warm, inviting and friendly.

Meanwhile Don represents the capital. He looks to what will be profitable, what will make the shareholders happy. He doesnt care about the creativity, evident by the fact their films take a bit of a back seat to American Arcadia and they are willing to let Kovacs go when he is no longer helpful to them. Hes cold, stilted and professional.

In equilibrium Creativity and Money can work, atleast in the society we live in now it does. You need money to create, and creativity makes money, so both are incredibly important. You cant focus too heavily on the creativity otherwise things get too ambitious, people get overworked, it will take too long to finish and you cant fund it. You cant focus too heavily on the money otherwise you will cut corners, exploit people and overall create uncreative pandering art in an effort to make as much money as possible. They need to work together.

And we see them working together with the rise of Walton Pictures.

But what we also see in AA and in our real lives too is the money taking over. We see it in the Arcadians, people who's lives are recorded without their consent, who are brainwashed to remain inside the dome to keep on making money for the company and when they are no longer useful they are basically thrown out. People who are used basically as toys to make Walton more money and for our entertainment. We see it in Disney now, in their under payed Writers, Actors and Animators who have to strike to be payed livable wages. You see it in the sweatshop workers making their merchandise, the exploitation of other people's cultures (see, Disney trying to Trademark fucking Dia De Los Muertos or just the movie Pocahontas) and much more.

The fact that Elijah's death was what caused the turning point for the company to go down into this hellish capitalistic spiral is very poignant. It shows that when Creativity dies and Money takes over, all you are left with greed and suffering.

I've recently watched the new Disney short Once Upon a Studio. And, while I loved it, I can't help but want a little...more? The concept presented here has so much potential beyond just 10 minutes of Mickey trying to get all the Disney characters together for a group picture. Like, I wouldn't more shorts, a tv show, hell even a full movie with the premise of Disney characters coming to life and living inside the Disney studio. So, if you're listening Disney, more of this please. Or maybe not if you'll oversaturate it.

Also, I'm man enough to admit that the ending where all the Disney characters sing When You Wish Upon a Star got me a little teary-eyed. Mickey paying respects to Walt Disney was also a nice touch.

And finally, Wreck-it Ralph calling Mickey "Garfield" is the type of humor I live for.

Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers Gets Physical Vynil Album From Disney Music Emporium and Walt Disney Records

Some times, some crimes and soundtracks go slipping through the cracks.....

Disney Music Emporium and Walt Disney Records has revealed that a special vinyl edition of the official soundtrack to the Primetime Emmy Award winning film, Chip ‘N’ Dale Rescue Rangers is now available.

Enjoy The Toons Records in partnership with Walt Disney Records, Disney Music Emporium and Enjoy The Ride Records, is proud to present the premiere vinyl release for Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers". A comeback 30 years in the making, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers catches up with the former Disney Afternoon television stars in modern-day Los Angeles. In this hybrid live-action/CGI animated action-comedy film, Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip voiced of John Mulaney (Sony Pictures Animation "Spiderman Across The Spiderverse" franchise, Dreamworks Animation "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish") has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale voiced by Andy Samberg (Sony Pictures Animation "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former castmate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend.

Featuring the fantastic score by Brian Tyler (Illumination "The Super Mario Bros Movie"), featuring "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Theme" Performed by Post Malone , and "Disney Afternoon Theme / Whale Rap Performed" by Andy Samberg, John Mulaney & Nathaniel Motte. Notably, the album is available on Chip N' Dale Stripe colored vinyl.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) is one the attempts from Disney to bring the beloved The Disney Afternoon characters and shows to a new generation of fans, other projects include DuckTales (2017) with 3 seasons now streaming, Darkwing Duck and TaleSpin with upcoming animated reboots by Point Grey Pictures and Disney Television Animation and a live action Gargoyles reboot from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Television set for Disney+.

Eu amo o Estranho mundo de Jack. Então para engajar:

Historia por trás:

Tudo começou com um poema de Tim Burton. Ele o escreveu durante seu tempo como animador da Disney no início dos anos 1980. Com o sucesso do curta-metragem "Vincent" de Burton em 1982, a Disney começou a considerar "The Nightmare Before Christmas" como um curta-metragem ou um especial de televisão de 30 minutos. Com o passar dos anos, os pensamentos de Burton voltaram regularmente ao projeto e, em 1990, Burton e Disney fecharam um acordo de desenvolvimento. A produção começou em julho de 1991 em São Francisco na Skellington Productions. A Walt Disney Pictures decidiu lançar o filme sob a bandeira da Touchstone Pictures porque pensaram que o filme seria "muito sombrio e assustador para as crianças".

Sinopse: Jack Skellington, o Rei das Abóboras, se cansa de fazer o Dia das Bruxas todos os anos e deixa os limites da cidade. Por acaso, acaba atravessando o portal do Natal, onde vê a alegria do espírito natalino. Ao retornar para a Cidade do Halloween, sem ter compreendido o que viu, ele começa a convencer os cidadãos a sequestrarem o Papai Noel e fazerem seu próprio Natal. Apesar de sua leal namorada Sally ser contra, o Papai Noel é capturado e os fatos mostrarão que Sally estava certa o tempo todo.

Resumo do Filme (Spoilers, duh):

Em um lugar mágico chamado Halloween Town, todos os cidadãos da cidade se reuniram para comemorar seu feriado e seu sucesso depois de aterrorizar o mundo. No entanto, Jack Skellington, o rei da abóbora e cidadão mais aclamado da cidade, um líder de fato, cansou-se deste feriado e não vê mais sentido em assustar as pessoas. Na noite seguinte à celebração, ele faz uma longa caminhada pela floresta com seu cachorro fantasma Zero (que tem no nariz uma abóbora brilhante), onde encontra portas para outros feriados. Intrigado com uma árvore verde brilhante com enfeites, Jack abre a porta e cai em um buraco que leva à Cidade do Natal.

Espantado com a neve, a cor e a maravilha que vê, ele fica fascinado pelo Natal. Jack retorna para Halloween Town e mostra aos cidadãos exemplos de itens de Natal. Ele mostra árvores de Natal, meias e toda a rotina da véspera e do dia de Natal. Os habitantes da cidade estão entusiasmados, mas Jack teme que eles não compreendam totalmente os conceitos que ele está tentando explicar-lhes. No meio da multidão está Sally, uma boneca de pano trazida à vida pelo cientista da cidade, Dr. Finkelstein. Ela está secretamente apaixonada por Jack e também fica maravilhada com o Natal, mas tem a visão de uma árvore de Natal em chamas e teme que isso seja um mau sinal. Ela informa Jack sobre sua visão, mas ele simplesmente dá de ombros e segue em frente com seu plano.

Jack se isola em seu laboratório, deixando os cidadãos de Halloween Town com pensamentos perturbados sobre o que Jack está fazendo e se ele está bem, e realiza vários experimentos em itens com tema natalino na tentativa de encontrar uma maneira de explicar isso aos seus cidadãos. A obsessão de Jack aumenta à medida que seus experimentos falham, e ele finalmente chega à conclusão de que não apenas poderia imitar o Natal perfeitamente, mas também poderia melhorá-lo, e anuncia à cidade que eles estão assumindo o controle do Natal.

Jack reúne a cidade para começar a fazer presentes de Natal, contrata o Dr. Finkelstein para animar renas esqueléticas para um trenó e encarrega Sally de tricotar para ele um casaco vermelho e branco de Papai Noel. À medida que o Natal se aproxima e tanto a Cidade do Halloween quanto a Cidade do Natal se preparam para o Natal, Jack coloca três travessuras ou travessuras (Lock, Shock e Barrel) encarregados de sequestrar o Papai Noel da Cidade do Natal, mas os avisa para não incluir seu mestre Oogie Boogie em qualquer um dos seus assuntos. Na véspera de Natal, tudo está quase definido quando os três voltam com o Papai Noel. Jack diz ao Papai Noel para "tirar a noite de folga" e faz com que os três levem o Papai Noel de volta ao seu covil para mantê-lo contido durante a noite. Em vez disso, os três enviam o Papai Noel para Oogie Boogie, que planeja jogar com sua vida em risco.

Sally tenta parar Jack criando uma névoa espessa, mas Jack usa o nariz vermelho brilhante de Zero para iluminar o caminho e direciona o cachorro para a frente do trenó. Jack viaja pelo mundo e começa a entregar seus presentes aterrorizantes com resultados desastrosos, embora confunda seus gritos com alegria. Um aviso é divulgado sobre a notícia de um imitador do Papai Noel, e os cidadãos de Halloween Town se alegram, acreditando que seu Natal foi um sucesso. Sally corre para salvar o Papai Noel, mas também é capturada por Oogie Boogie. Canhões de artilharia disparam contra Jack, destruindo seu trenó, e tanto a polícia quanto o povo de Halloween Town presumem que ele esteja morto. Acordando em um cemitério, Jack percebe que seus planos arruinaram seu Natal, mas está novamente inspirado pelo Halloween. Jack arranca sua fantasia de Papai Noel e se declara o rei da abóbora novamente, depois corre de volta para Halloween Town para libertar o Papai Noel.

Jack entra no covil de Oogie Boogie quando está prestes a matar o Papai Noel e Sally. Ele consegue abrir um ponto na roupa de Oogie Boogie (pois sua pele é feita de pano) e todos os insetos que estão dentro do corpo de Boogie começam a cair, deixando-o indefeso. Jack pede desculpas ao Papai Noel, que então sai correndo para consertar o Natal. Jack confronta Sally sobre sua tentativa de salvar o Papai Noel e percebe seus sentimentos por ele, enquanto Lock, Shock e Barrel levam o prefeito a encontrar Jack. Papai Noel é mostrado voando ao redor do mundo, distribuindo presentes reais e removendo os brinquedos malignos que Jack havia distribuído. Jack retorna para seus habitantes enquanto o Papai Noel sobrevoa. Papai Noel e Jack desejam um ao outro "Feliz Halloween" e "Feliz Natal" enquanto Papai Noel traz neve para a cidade. Os residentes de Halloween Town começam a brincar na neve e Jack segue Sally para fora da cidade. Ela sobe e se senta no topo de uma colina coberta de neve, e Jack se junta a ela cantando. Eles cantam um para o outro e percebem que foram feitos para ficarem juntos. À medida que suas mãos se tocam, eles se abraçam e se beijam enquanto Zero observa. Então Zero voa noite adentro, transformado em uma estrela.

CURIOSIDADES!

-Por ser um filme "muito sombrio e assustador para as crianças" incialmente a Disney NÃO tinha dado dinheiro o suficiente para a obra. Só deram quando os produtores mostram o que poderia ser, e o que seria se não aumentassem o orçamento.

-Uma dessas mudanças de o orçamento não fosse de US$ 18 milhões (em 1990 esse valor), seria que o Dr. Finkelstein seria o Oogie Boogie disfarçado, o que quem viu o filme sabe que Oogie Boogie só é um bando de insetos em um pano (saco de batata)

-Estranhamente, Tim Burton não participou muito dá produção do filme em si. Ele começou o projeto, mas não participava muito da continuação em si. (Disse o proprio elenco)

-Os produtores, elenco, etc só descobriram a que o filme não foi um desastre como achavam ao verem merchandiser no começo do ano 2010 (por ai)

-Danny Elfman é tipo um Helena Bonham Carter/Johnny Depp quando se trata da composição dos filmes do Tim Burton, ele não só fez o Jack como tambem fez a trilha sonora do filme, de noiva cadaver, charlie e fantastica fabrica de chocolate (2005), edward mão de tessoura, dumbo (2019), frankweniee, dark shadows, beetlejuice (os fantasmas se divertem) e as aventuras de pee-wee, ou seja igual a Helena Bonham Carter o Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman SEMPRE vai estar na composição de algum filme do Tim Burton (considerem esse "trio" como musas de ouro de tim burton)

Agora, você sabia que a Sally tem 3 livros? Um deles será lançado em outubro desse ano, o outro eu não tenho mas o livro "long live the pumpkin queen" eu tenho e vou falar dele:

Sinopse: Sally Skellington é a recém-criada Rainha da Abóbora oficial após um namoro turbulento com seu verdadeiro amor, Jack, que Sally adora com cada centímetro de suas costuras de tecido - se ao menos ela pudesse dizer o mesmo sobre seu novo papel como Rainha de Halloween Town . Colocada sob os holofotes e encarregada de todos os tipos de deveres de rainha, Sally não pode deixar de se perguntar se tudo o que ela fez foi trocar seu cativeiro sob o comando do Dr. Finkelstein por uma jaula diferente. Mas quando Sally e Zero acidentalmente descobrem uma porta há muito escondida para um reino antigo chamado Dream Town, ela sem saber colocará em movimento uma cadeia de eventos sinistros que colocarão seu futuro como Rainha Abóbora e o futuro da própria Halloween Town em perigo. . Conseguirá Sally descobrir o que significa ser fiel a si mesma e salvar a cidade que aprendeu a chamar de lar, ou será que o seu futuro se transformará no seu pior... bem, pesadelo?

Resumo do Filme (Spoilers, mas isso você já sabia):

Quando Sally e Jack retornam à Cidade do Halloween, Jack é imediatamente envolvido pelos preparativos para o Dia das Bruxas, que está apenas a duas semanas de distância. O Príncipe dos Vampiros e as Irmãs Bruxas levam Sally consigo e começam a aprisioná-la em um vestido desconfortável, criticando seu cabelo, roupas e postura. Sally foge para Jack em busca de ajuda, mas ele está ocupado demais e só consegue dizer que qualquer tipo de rainha que ela queira ser será perfeito.

Escapando para a floresta com o cachorro fantasma Zero, Sally retorna para o bosque festivo. Ela considera ir até a Cidade do Dia dos Namorados para pedir conselhos à Rainha Ruby, mas ouve Zero latindo mais fundo na floresta. Investigando, ela encontra uma porta coberta de vegetação com um sinal de lua crescente nela. Ela abre a porta e está prestes a cair quando Zero agarra seu braço e a puxa de volta. Seu braço se desliga de seu ombro. Esquecendo a porta, Sally persegue Zero de volta ao cemitério. Ela finalmente recupera seu braço, o costura de volta e depois adormece.

Quando ela acorda, Sally encontra a Cidade do Halloween perfeitamente quieta. Cada um dos residentes que ela encontra está profundamente adormecido, incluindo Jack, e todos estão cobertos com uma fina camada de areia. Sally decide preparar uma poção para acordar Jack. Quando ela chega à rua, no entanto, ouve um som e vê um velho com uma longa barba flutuando em sua direção com areia escorrendo dos bolsos. Aterrorizada, Sally recua até que ele passe. Cuidadosa para não ser vista pelo velho, Sally reúne os ingredientes necessários para sua poção. Ela tenta a poção acabada em Jack, mas ela falha em acordá-lo.

Sally ouve o velho cantando uma canção de ninar do lado de fora na rua. Ele a vê através da janela e sopra um punhado de areia sobre ela. Sally tosse, mas não adormece. Ela tenta escapar da casa e corre para o bosque festivo, então além dele, procurando pela árvore com a porta de lua crescente, pensando que seria um bom lugar para se esconder. Quando ela a alcança, encontra a porta aberta e percebe que esqueceu de fechá-la; ela deve ter deixado o velho sair. Se assim for, então o que aconteceu com a Cidade do Halloween é culpa dela.

Sally decide procurar ajuda em uma das outras cidades festivas, começando pela Cidade do Dia dos Namorados. Ela encontra todos dormindo. Sally tenta a Cidade do Natal, a Cidade da Páscoa, a Cidade do Dia de Ação de Graças e a Cidade do Quatro de Julho. Ela não encontra ninguém acordado até chegar à Cidade de São Patrício. Lá, ela conhece um duende, que lhe diz que a porta que ela abriu leva à Cidade dos Sonhos, um dos reinos antigos, e o velho é o Sandman. Sally implora por sua ajuda. Ele recusa, mas lhe dá um trevo de quatro folhas para sorte.

A única chance de Sally de impedir o Sandman e salvar todos os mundos é ir para a Cidade dos Sonhos e ver se ela pode encontrar alguém lá para ajudá-la. Os residentes da Cidade dos Sonhos estão acordados. Todos eles vestem pijamas e trabalham nos campos da cidade, colhendo lavanda. Sally tenta pedir ajuda a eles, mas suas respostas são todas em poemas ou enigmas que não fazem sentido para ela. Sally segue o caminho até as altas muralhas do castelo. Entrando, ela se senta em um banco do lado de fora da biblioteca. Um menino traz um bilhete dizendo para ela ir à casa do governador.

Na casa do governador, Sally conhece Greta e Albert, que são bonecos de trapo como ela. Eles dizem a ela que ela é a filha deles há muito perdida, que foi roubada pelo Doutor Finkelstein quando tinha 12 anos. Eles oferecem para mostrar a ela a Cidade dos Sonhos, mas Sally se lembra de Jack e de todas as outras pessoas adormecidas em todos os mundos festivos. Ela pede a Greta e Albert para ajudá-la a impedir o Sandman. Eles contam como o Sandman era o rei da Cidade dos Sonhos, mas ele era um monstro, colocando as pessoas para dormir avidamente e roubando todos os seus sonhos. Cem anos atrás, as pessoas da Cidade dos Sonhos construíram um muro ao redor da cidade para mantê-lo fora. Agora que Sally abriu a porta do bosque, eles pretendem derrubar todas as árvores para que ele nunca possa voltar, e a cidade estará segura dele para sempre.

Sally percebe que foi trancada em seu quarto e precisa esperar até conseguir que alguém abra sua porta. Quando finalmente o faz, é tarde demais. Todas as árvores no bosque foram derrubadas, e Sally não tem mais como voltar para casa. Sally grita para seus pais que eles a traíram e mentiram para ela, e ela sabe como parar o Homem da Areia, mas eles garantiram que todos nos mundos estariam presos em um sono sem sonhos para sempre.

Seus pais dizem que só queriam garantir que ela ficasse com eles, mas percebem agora que estavam errados. Ainda há uma maneira dela voltar para a Cidade do Halloween. Uma porta na biblioteca a deixará em qualquer biblioteca no mundo humano. Então, tudo o que ela precisa fazer é encontrar um cemitério e usá-lo para voltar ao cemitério na Cidade do Halloween. No entanto, se ela fizer isso, nunca mais poderá voltar; eles terão que destruir a porta na biblioteca para impedir que o Homem da Areia retorne à Cidade dos Sonhos.

A porta na biblioteca leva Sally à biblioteca no Palácio de Buckingham, onde ela descobre que o Homem da Areia já esteve no mundo humano. Ela encontra o caminho até o cemitério mais próximo e passa por uma porta em um mausoléu e entra no cemitério na Cidade do Halloween.

Sally reúne as ervas que precisa para sua poção. Jack ainda está dormindo com Zero, o cachorro fantasma, o vigiando. Sally prepara a poção para dormir mais forte que pode. Em seguida, ela costura seis bonecos de pano em tamanho real para usar como iscas. Ela posiciona os bonecos de pano por toda a cidade para distrair o Homem da Areia tempo suficiente para chegar à fonte da praça da cidade. Enquanto o Homem da Areia enfurecido destrói os bonecos um por um, Sally alcança a fonte e coloca o veneno na água.

O Homem da Areia destrói o último dos bonecos, depois vai atrás de Sally. Ele para na beira da fonte e pergunta quem ela é e por que sua areia dos sonhos não funciona nela. Ela diz a ele que é a rainha da Cidade do Halloween, mas nasceu na Cidade dos Sonhos. Enquanto o Homem da Areia está distraído, Zero se aproxima por trás dele e o empurra na fonte envenenada, onde ele adormece e afunda na água. Naquele momento, todos na cidade começam a acordar. Sally corre para o lado de Jack.

Quando ele acorda, ela conta tudo o que aconteceu. Ele primeiro quer ver o mundo onde ela nasceu. Eles vão pelo bosque até a árvore da lua crescente, mas quando abrem a porta, é apenas uma árvore oca morta. Eles retornam à Cidade do Halloween, e enquanto passam pelo cemitério, a porta do mausoléu se abre, e os pais de Sally saem. Eles dizem a Sally que não suportariam perdê-la novamente, então convenceram as pessoas da Cidade dos Sonhos a esperar até terem a chance de encontrar Sally e ajudá-la a subjugar o Homem da Areia.

Eles voltam à praça da vila no momento em que o Homem da Areia acorda. Ele fica espantado ao acordar e lembrar de seus próprios sonhos. Ele nunca dormiu ou teve um sonho próprio antes. Isso o deixa bastante alegre. Ele pede desculpas por ter se deixado levar. Ele promete nunca mais roubar outro sonho, desde que Sally continue a fornecer sua poção do sono.

Jack desterra o Doutor Finkelstein da Cidade do Halloween. Toda a cidade se une e termina os preparativos para o Dia das Bruxas a tempo para o feriado. Sally desenha sua coroa e reina ao lado de Jack como a Rainha das Abóboras da Cidade do Halloween.

Amo a franquia desde 2020, sigo contas de fans (fanclubs), faço memes, leio teorias, escuto o album do filme religiosamente, tenho bonecos, cadernos, caneca, até cartas de baralho. Simplesmente meu filme tanto de conforto quanto meu filme favorito (o livro tambem).

Eras of a Franchise:

The Origins Era (1923 - 1942)

The studio is founded and creates theatrical shorts (series like Alice Comedies, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and Mickey Mouse) until pioneering the fully-animated theatrical movie.

Movies released in this era: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Pinocchio Fantasia Dumbo Bambi

The Wartime Era (1943 - 1949)

Funds are diverted to aiding the country during World War II, so the movies created during this era are just normal animated shorts packaged together to fill at least an hour runtime.

Movies released in this era: Saludos Amigos The Three Caballeros Make Mine Music Fun and Fancy Free Melody Time The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

The Rebound Era (1950 - 1969)

Traditional animated movies make a comeback, to varying degrees of financial success but all to high degrees of quality. The era ends shortly after Walt Disney's death in 1966.

Movies released in this era: Cinderella Alice in Wonderland Peter Pan Lady and the Tramp Sleeping Beauty 101 Dalmatians The Sword in the Stone The Jungle Book

The Declining Era (1970 - 1988)

Without Walt, the company's leadership becomes aimless, and Disney becomes pigeonholed as a frivolous studio that makes funny cartoon animal movies for children. After reaching a nadir in 1985, things gradually begin to shape up due to a skilled new leadership quadrate.

Movies released in this era: The Aristocats Robin Hood The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The Rescuers The Fox and the Hound The Black Cauldron The Great Mouse Detective Oliver and Company

The Renaissance Era (1989 - 1999)

A decade in which Disney movies were arguably bigger than ever, being critical and/or box office smashes, and the majority of the movies being musicals. Tragically, the leadership quadrate was broken halfway through, which ultimately brought about the era's end.

Movies released in this era: The Little Mermaid The Rescuers Down Under Beauty and the Beast Aladdin The Nightmare Before Christmas* The Lion King Pocahontas The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hercules Mulan Tarzan

The Experimental Era (2000 - 2007/2008)

A time when Disney moved away from their musical formula and put out radically different films. Unfortunately, the studio was often undermined by corporate decisions, now almost exclusively managed by Michael Eisner, leading to the majority of these movies flopping.

Movies released in this era: Fantasia 2000 Dinosaur The Emperor's New Groove Atlantis the Lost Empire Lilo & Stitch Treasure Planet Brother Bear Home on the Range Chicken Little Meet the Robinsons

The Revival Era (2008/2009 - 2019)

With Eisner gone and his replacement Bob Iger bringing aboard Pixar's John Lasseter as the head of the studio, Disney begins putting out high-quality movies that are critically and/or financially successful at a regular pace, including its biggest hits ever Frozen and Frozen II.

Movies released in this era: Bolt** The Princess and the Frog Tangled Winnie the Pooh Wreck-It Ralph Frozen Big Hero 6 Zootopia Moana Ralph Breaks the Internet Frozen II

The Current Era (2020 - Present)

Disney is experiencing some....technical difficulties right now. Repair time unknown.

Movies released in this era: Raya and the Last Dragon Encanto Strange World Wish

*The Nightmare Before Christmas was put in development to be part of the Disney Animated Canon. However, studio leadership ultimately backed out of this plan and had it released via Touchstone Pictures instead since its stop-motion animation was deemed too different from the other movies' hand-drawn animation. Which is funny since otherwise it being a musical makes it fits more than The Rescuers Down Under, more of a Declining Era holdover, does.

**Debate persists whether Bolt should be considered the end of the Experimental Era or the start of the Revival Era, as while it was the first movie overseen by John Lasseter and was a critical and box office success, it also lacked the staying power within the company brand (sequels, spin-offs, merchandise, etc.) that The Princess and the Frog and onward did.

Got to see "Wish" yesterday.

I had no real strong feelings going into this celebration of a film going in. I just knew that it all was a culmination of Disney's history with fairy tales. And watching it... admittedly gave me more mixed emotions than I hoped.

Starting on a positive note: the visual presentation. The psuedo-watercolor look to the backgrounds really makes them pop with pretty detail, and while it would've been preferable to also have the characters hand-drawn, the cinematic screen really shows how many 2D sensibilities are actually in their linework and movements. Color work can really stand out in places too. It's not the most storybook-like animation nor most effective blend I've seen, but it feels about right for how I'd expect Disney to handle that.

The plot is, by design, very tropey - pretty much going off the checklist of what is expected from Disney fairy tales - and while it wasn't the most interesting thing in the world, I could certainly wrap my head around the thought process. However, I do have to criticize parts of the writing, in that it often felt like the dialogue was just over-explaining the plot details to the audience. It felt like there was little room for subtle depth when there easily could've been.

Similarly, characters are standard but likable. Asha - while not a new character type for WDAS - is charming and rootable. Her Seven Dwarves-referenced friends do a good job at getting involved in the action and all have their moments to shine. Star is cute, Valentino... eh, I can give or take. And King Magnifico is, of course, a villain you love to hate - starting out with the illusion of generosity, only for his true colors to become more exposed over time. He's not going to make many top 10 lists, but his animation and Chris Pine hamming it up pays off.

The songs - not the best, to be honest. They're catchy enough, are generally brought to life well, and many may well find a standout (my fave was "This is The Thanks I Get"). But you're not going to find a new "We Don't Talk About Bruno" here. I think part of the issue is that the approach to them felt fairly modern-leaning, which I think was a mistake when this is meant to be presented as a classical fairy tale. Though I will say, the actual orchestral score fares notably better on this front.

I think the big saving grace of the film, besides the presentation, is how thematically tied it is to it being Disney's centennial. Not just in how many easter eggs get littered in, but also how the whole heart of the picture is about following your dreams and to not let a higher authority take them away from you. Sounds simplistic, but they litter in enough nuance for it to feel relatable. And apart from it being something people really need to hear sometimes, especially in our late-stage capitalism world; recall too how Walt Disney himself first built this empire by taking chances on utilizing animation that no one else in Hollywood would. There's even precedent to this with a few bits seen in the film, but I'm not going to give that away here. It hits pretty hard, and serves well as a metaphor on its own merits.

I'd say if you weren't intrigued by the trailers, you're not going to be swayed by the film. But the kids and others wanting something to lift their spirits are unquestionably going to eat this up, as it really is the exact kind of tale that made Disney the titan we both love and hate today.

Yep! You read the title correctly! It is Disney’s 100th birthday, it’s 100th anniversary; 100 years AKA a full century! Happy special centenary Walt Disney Entertainment Company + Studios and Pictures too! Disney is a very impactful, influential and inspiring yet important company that has created many communities throughout generations as well as create many pieces of media from films and cinematography in both live-action and animation to pieces of shorts, games, media and much more! Many dreams have came true, many forms of inspiration and creativity have been achieved and worked to the fullest potential to give it the wonderful magic and beauty that many Disney movies tend to have in common with! As a company tho, Disney has done rather questionable and controversial both in past and present but not everything is perfect. I understand that. (Great job on that to the people who worked extremely hard on this!) And I’d like to say thank you to Walt Disney, Roy Disney, and much, much more for not only Mickey Mouse representing the Disney Company and Community but to how Disney came to be as one beautiful story full of dreams, lessons, enthusiasm, inspiration, joy, love, wonder and magic throughout the entire world to those young currently and young at heart filled with memories and nostalgia and honestly, you done well Disney and everyone else, you done amazing through the century.

Happy 100th Anniversary full of Wonder, Stories, Dream, Magic and Memories Disney entirely! Thank you for the many glamorous and sparkling times! We love you Disney despite your historical background and flaws!

Fifteen Days of Disney Magic - Number 5

Welcome to Fifteen Days of Disney Magic! In honor of the company’s 100th Anniversary, I am counting down my Top 15 Favorite Movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios! We’ve now entered the Top 5 of the Countdown! Today’s entry is the ONLY Modern Era Movie on the List. Number 5 is…Zootopia.

Right about now, I imagine a lot of people reading are asking themselves the same question: “Why Zootopia?” Out of all the modern Disney films I could choose – from Tangled to Encanto to beyond – why does “Zootopia” not only end up being the only modern era movie in my Top 15, but actually a film that makes it into my Top 5, even trumping “Alice in Wonderland”? My honest answer is…I actually don’t really know. I guess the best way I can put it is…it’s just the right film for me. “Zootopia,” in essence, is Disney’s version of a neo-noir mystery. And it actually IS a legitimate and decently-told mystery! It’s not as dark as actual neo-noir films, obviously, but the style of the story, the way the characters act and interact, and even the way things are shot and lit (in animation) feels like a sort of child-friendly version of movies like “Chinatown” or even older pictures such as “The Big Sleep” (which apparently was a direct influence on the movie). I’ve always been a fan of film noir, and especially the crime and mystery genre of the medium, so seeing a film that had that kind of quality, while still being just as bright and colorful as most Disney movies, and with a grand sense of humor about itself, was very interesting. I also love the cast of this movie; both Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps are among my favorite protagonists in any Disney feature to date. Judy actually might be my choice for my favorite Disney heroine, in particular, and Nick is easily in my Top 5 for the male leads. They’re both fun and flawed in their own ways, and the manners in which they bounce off one another, and the development of their relationship over the course of the story, are really a treat to behold. I also have to give credit to their voice actors. Despite being well-acquainted with at least some of the works from both performers – Jason Bateman for Nick, and Ginnifer Goodwin for Judy – I feel they both just totally disappear into their respective characters. With celebrity voice artists, especially in a lot of more modern films, I think the success rate of their work is sort of 50/50. When it’s not managed well, sometimes the person behind the mic becomes more important than the actual character being presented, and you can sort of feel the distance between the actor and the microphone. With Bateman and Goodwin, I never got that feeling: they’re just right there, in the role! There are no actors, only Nick and Judy, and that really is a big part of what makes them so great to me.

The rest of the cast is pretty good, too. Even some of the most minor characters or brief supporting roles can have a big impact. It’s telling that, when Disney+ announced a new Zootopia spin-off show, instead of focusing on Nick and Judy’s new adventures, the series was a bunch of shorts that focused on the supporting players and their own lives and interests. In the film, these were characters you wanted to learn more about, and the show did exactly that. The themes and messages of the film are fascinating: I often hear people say that there’s stuff really hammered in within this movie, but I actually don’t think that’s the case at all. To me, the film gives a message that is both timely and timeless, but does so in a way that is contemporary and fresh, and does so with a story that you can relate to a lot of different problems in the world and history. You can read it a few different ways, and every way is important. I’m not going to act like this is the absolute best of all the modern era Disney films; to be honest, I don’t know which movie has that distinction. And while Zootopia definitely has a major following, I don’t know if it’s quite as “big” as films like “Frozen” or “Wreck-It Ralph.” But for me, this is easily my favorite Disney movie to have come out within the past couple decades at least, and definitely worthy of a spot in my Top 5. I don’t know how many other people would share this sentiment, but it’s one I’m holding onto regardless. The end draws ever nearer. The countdown continues tomorrow with my 4th Favorite Disney Movie! HINT: It Should Ring a Bell.
