My friend called me this morning and just started off with no hello or anything.
"You know in Once Upon A Studio where every Disney character comes to life? Where are the Pixar characters?"
"It's just the disney characters, the Pixar characters are probably at Pixar studios."
"They're probably fighting for their life."
"Huh."
"The Pixar characters are in life threatening situations every second in some of their movies. They're probably fighting a monster or something."
"Go to sleep."
And I couldn't stop thinking of how funny the idea was

I feel like the thing Mulan (1998) accomplished better than any other Disney ‘princess’ film was how her society valued women based off 1. their attractiveness and 2. their ability to be submissive.
Other Disney movies (ex. Beauty and the Beast) make references to the misogyny women face for being unable to fulfill traditional female roles, but the disgusting standards aren't explored nearly as much as they are in Mulan. The entire song “You'll Bring Honor to Us All” focuses on all these horrible beauty standards she is expected to uphold:
“With good breeding/ And a tiny waist”
“Like a lotus blossom/ Soft and pale”
“a perfect porcelain doll”
But the song also reflects the social status of women and their roles in society:
“Boys will gladly go to war for you”
“A girl can bring her family/ Great honor in one way/ By striking a good match”
“Men want girls with good taste/ Calm/ Obedient/ Who work fast-paced”
“A man by bearing arms/ A girl by bearing sons”
Mulan’s reflection of this caricature she is meant to become is so much more powerful and sticks out even compared to other more recent Disney movies (Frozen, The Princess and the Frog, etc.)
I personally feel like Mulan is the only ‘princess’ who does not fall into the society's expectations of feminity in come category. She does not seek to become an object, and she defies the roles her society wants her to uphold. Mulan is the only Disney film that shows the impossible standards women are given. The only film that comes close to this would be Brave.

I must say, Ariel’s siblings all having different looks/ ethnicities and representing the oceans of the world is GENIUS.

These youtube comments from this video analyzing the song ¨Hellfire¨ from The hunchback of notre dame have galaxy brain energy
¨As Frollo sings “It’s not my fault, I’m not to blame”, the hooded monks sing “My fault” in Latin. It’s like God is literally telling him through these visions, “This. Is. On. You. Either stop shifting the blame and being all creepy, or stop claiming to serve my will. You are about the least holy person in France!” And Frollo just doesn’t listen. He even seems more determined to shirk the blame, considering afterward he shifts from pinning it completely on Esmerelda to on the Devil and God Himself.¨
¨For those non-Catholics: The song the monks are singing in the background is the Confiteor, an admission of guilt and wrongdoing and asking of forgiveness from God. Frollo distorts the song for himself, though; "Mea culpa" - "through my fault" - followed by "It's not my fault, I'm not to blame!" He's taking something that should be holy and righteous and turning it upside down. He won't admit that he's doing anything wrong.¨

People claiming they would’ve liked WISH better if they went the original concept art are hilarious. As if they still wouldn’t walk in bitter & leave calling it “another failed Disney film” & telling others to not waste their time. As if they wouldn’t be annoyed that Asha is “Adorkable” & still complain it’s not “groundbreaking” like Puss in Boots or whatever. As if they would value the writers & animators more despite them already working hard on the original which was honestly fine how it is.
Y’all saw concept art coupled with a baseline plot & got excited creating fan-fiction in your own heads. I’ll go even further to say even if they did go with the original concept & it met your expectations, another (animated) movie could drop & you’d waste no time using it as a measuring stick to suddenly dislike the film because that’s where yall are at with Disney.

The Little Mermaid 2023 Headcanon
In the new movie, mermaids have all different styles of tails, just like different fish do. In the same movie, Ariel's sisters are all of different races.
What if, rather than some of them being adopted or Triton fathering kids with multiple women, the human appearance of a mermaid just varies like their tails do?
That is, unlike human appearance, which is determined by what your parents and ancestors looked like, mermaid appearance is less set in stone. What a merbaby looks like is entirely arbitrary in comparison to human babies.
Mermaids are magical creatures, after all; it makes sense that their genes wouldn't work the same way as a non-magical creature's would.
