if I had a nickel for every time a Disney cartoon I got into got canned after 2 seasons, resulting in a ton of cool story potential being lost, I would have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot but isn’t it fucked up that it happened twice?
I finally get to post these Christmas drawings let’s goooo!! The first one we have here is Marcella from Alice’s Wonderland Bakery! I chose candy canes for her because she loves anything and everything swirly and twirly! So like, I had to lmao. Also Marcella just looks super cute in red and white!!
Hey there! Let's dive into something heartwarming today. I'm an adult who's totally into kids shows now. They bring back this flood of memories from my childhood and capture that awesome feeling of being a kid.
Back when I was just 4 or 5 years old, I lived on a tiny island in Kepulauan Riau. Picture this: Me chilling on the porch with my dad, gazing up at the stars. They were very visible because there wasn't any light pollution blocking the view.
Fast forward to now, and I stumbled upon this gem of an episode from Alice's Wonderland Bakery called Hattie Wishes Upon a Star. It's during the Tanabata festival, and everyone's decked out in Yukata. Alice has this adorable hairdo, and they're all staring up at the stars. It hit me right in the feels, you know?
And the best part? The song they've got playing in that moment? Perfect match for those memories. It's like my brain’s personal playlist – every time I think back to that exact porch-and-stars moment, bam! "Let Your Wish Carry You Away" starts playing, and my heart just melts. Like, instant nostalgia trip. (Props to John Kavanaugh)
Kids shows. They're not just for kids, they're little time machines that zap you right back to those moments you thought you'd forgotten. And if they've got a amazing song to go along with it, it's even better.
We’ve got Godspell, The Lightning Thief, Be More Chill, Alice’s Wonderland Bakery, Superstore, Little Shop of Horrors, The Ovation Awards, Head Over Heels, The Bottoming Process, and Two Player Game (2.0). I’m really happy with how the drawing came out!
Original and Version 2 under the cut, as well as an alt of this one!
She did! Here’s the artwork I did with her in Wonderland
I don’t really have a story for her sorry, I just know she has gone and it becomes a family tradition down to when the Alice of Alice’s Wonderland Bakery happens. Maybe after Alice has her second adventure and becomes a queen of Chessland they pop in now and then to make sure the family kingdom isn’t getting too insane xD
