1988 was an absolute beast across the world for animated movies/TV specials… I don’t know enough about animation history to be able to confidently rank it against every other year since they were first created, but surely it’s got to be among the best, right?

- You’ve got the massive technical achievements of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and AKIRA which were all-hands-on-deck efforts that required huge teams across different departments to bring their A-game.

- Ghibli unleashing the ultimate emotional whiplash double feature with My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies.

- Two incredibly unique Soviet adaptations of well-worn stories in Jan Švankmajer’s nightmarishly creative Alice and David Cherkassky’s soulfully comedic Treasure Island (the more polished second half of the latter released in ‘88 so I’m counting it).

- The Land Before Time and Oliver and Company were also there, and though the latter comes off as mediocre in comparison to many of the other movies released this year, it surely provided more training for the animators who were about to start the Disney Renaissance.

- Don’t forget the best goddamn piece of Garfield media ever made, Garfield: His 9 Lives.

- I hardly know anything about Gundam at all but I thought I might as well give a shout-out to Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, that was probably a big deal also.

And there might be some other good ones I missed. 1988 was also the year Felix the Cat: The Movie was released, but they can’t all be winners.

Quick break from the bad batch brainrot, but:

One of the hilarious side effects of the various attempts to give Scrooge McDuck a backstory in various comics is that the name gets even more ridiculous. He’s called “Scrooge McDuck” because Carl Barks needed an Ebenezer Scrooge stand-in for a Christmas issue of the Donald Duck comics. He needed a ducky antagonist, so he slapped that name on him and made him Donald Duck’s jerk-ass uncle who hates everyone.

Eeexcccceeeept that the comic readers liked the character, and Barks did too, so he kept coming back, got a more solid characterization after a few different iterations, and then eventually got his own comic series. Which ran for decades. They’re all almost one off episode stories, but Barks, Scarpa, and others kept inventing other characters (parents, siblings, various Duck relatives) connected to Scrooge and Donald as needed, later comic writers/artists on both sides of the Atlantic made attempts to tie it all together into different backstories, and so.

What you end up with.

Is this whole extended Duck-McDuck-Coot family full of people who either have perfectly normal-if-old-fashioned people names (Fergus, Matilda, Hortense, Molly, Elvira, Donald, Gladstone, Casey, etc) or bird pun names (Fethry, Downy, Eider, Roast, etc) aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnd Scrooge.

Which isn’t a real name. It’s something Charles Dickens just made up and that Barks ran with. Because he named Scrooge according to his one-off antagonist naming conventions and then unexpectedly went and made him a main character. And, yes, the most sensible option here is to just ignore how silly it is in context, because it’s a collection of Disney comics about ducks.

The funnier option, though? The funnier option is to actually think about Fergus and Downy McDuck living in mid-century Scotland a couple decades after the publication of the only book in which the name “Scrooge” appears, having their first kid, and then deciding to name their kid that. Like it wasn’t tempting fate or asking for trouble. I’m too amused by this.

#Disney ducks #scrooge mcduck #listen I’m sorry I find this funnier than I should #also disclaimer here if anyone reading this checks any of these comics out #Barks was drawing and writing back in the 40’s/50’s/60’s #he was a master of the comic art form #and there are a lot of stories and one-pagers that are fine #but #there’s also a lot in those comics that’s just #egregiously racist #you can avoid it if you know which issues to avoid but you do have to know which issues they are #and frankly the 80’s/90’s/early 2000’s comics #and original Ducktales cartoon #aren’t much better at times #anyway these tags have been a PSA

Hi, Consider.

So dreamfinder's imagery hasn't been used in years. Nor has he been mentioned. There were the comics, Sure. But those were in the own separate universe and in 2016. In the parks or on any merchandise or anything, The Dreamfinder has not been used nor seen in years.

So the new figment stuff we've gotten and are getting right?

Look closely at the first example, The announcement of the new figment meet and greet at D23. (SO GLAD HE'S BACK BTW,, MY BOY MADE IT TO EPCOT)

Look in the background.

THERE! RIGHT THERE! THAT'S THE DREAM MOBILE WITH DREAM FINDER ON IT! Not to mention footage from the original was featured and used!

Not only that, But look at the new book we're getting.

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO'S THERE

ONCE AGAIN, THERE HE IS! RIDING THE DREAM MOBILE, HAPPILY WAVING TO US

And that doesn't look like the institute of imagination to me. Currently with the attraction, That iconic building has it's outside themed to the institute. I don't see Nigel channing nor that sign or anything, Just the normal building from the old version of the ride.

But the most damning piece of evidence for my point i am getting at?

Figment's meet and greets now feature the dreamport. A location that has not been used, Nor mentioned in the parks, Since the closure of the original version of the ride. That's right, That's the very same dreamport where figment and dreamfinder stored ideas, Until they could make new things with them.

The point i'm trying to make, Is that I don't think it's too much of a stretch for me to say this but.. Could dreamfinder be coming back?

I mean, Why use him, A character that hasn't been seen in years in the parks and outside of them, Hasn't been seen since his spin off comics, In new merchandise and promotional material if that's not the case? Why feature him at all?

I hope that he returns. If he doesn't, Well.. He'll continue to live on in my imagination.

I miss him, Disney. I hope they're alluding to him being brought back, As i miss the original duo and their adventures in the imagination-scape.

#gengar rambles #disney #figment disney #figment the dragon #dreamfinder disney #dreamfinder #epcot #disney parks #journey into imagination #I miss my boy #i miss him disney #dreamfinder <3 #wouldn't it be so cool? #What if he was a meetable character again #like he was back in the 80's?

Ok so I found this somewhere in Google Images (hence the sus watermark), but I believe this concept art is definitely from the little mermaid. Looks like an earlier design for Eric, when he was actually going to look like 15-16 yrs old (in the fairytale the prince was the same age as the mermaid).
