Disney: The Magic of Imagination and Dreams Shaina Tranquilino December 30, 2023

When we think of Disney, our minds are instantly transported to a world filled with magic, dreams, and enchantment. From the iconic Mickey Mouse to the beloved princesses and the enchanting theme parks, Disney has captivated generations with its ability to bring imagination to life.

Walt Disney once said, "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse." And indeed, it was Mickey Mouse who became the symbol of this magical kingdom. With his mischievous smile and charismatic personality, Mickey captured hearts around the globe, becoming an endearing character loved by both children and adults alike.

But Disney is more than just a cartoon studio. It represents a celebration of childhood innocence and wonder. Through their animated films, Disney has woven stories that touch our hearts and ignite our imaginations. Whether it's the timeless tale of Cinderella or the adventures of Simba in The Lion King, these movies have become part of our collective cultural identity.

Disney's ability to create captivating characters extends beyond traditional fairy tales. They have brought to life superheroes like Iron Man and Captain America through their acquisition of Marvel Entertainment. Additionally, their partnership with Lucasfilm introduced us to new heroes such as Rey from Star Wars. These franchises continue to inspire millions worldwide, showing us that even in galaxies far, far away or in superhero metropolises, there is always room for hope and heroism.

What truly sets Disney apart is its commitment to creating experiences beyond the silver screen. Their theme parks around the world offer visitors a chance to step into their favourite stories. Whether you're exploring Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland or taking a journey through space on Space Mountain at Disney World, these parks transport guests into a realm where fantasy becomes reality. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring – every corner of these parks reflects meticulous craftsmanship aimed at immersing visitors in a world of wonder.

Disney's influence extends beyond entertainment and tourism. Through their philanthropic efforts, they have made significant contributions to education and children's hospitals. Their dedication to making the world a better place is evident through initiatives like Disney Conservation Fund, which focuses on preserving wildlife and habitats around the globe. They understand that the magic they create can extend far beyond their stories, bringing joy and hope to those in need.

In recent years, Disney has also embraced diversity and inclusion, recognizing the importance of representation. Characters like Moana, Mulan, and Black Panther have become role models for children who see themselves reflected in these inspiring individuals. This commitment to inclusivity ensures that Disney remains relevant and resonates with audiences across various backgrounds.

As we reflect on the impact of Disney, it becomes clear that its success lies not only in its storytelling or theme parks but also in its ability to ignite our imaginations and inspire us to believe in the power of dreams. It reminds us all that no matter how old we are, there is always room for a little bit of magic in our lives.

So next time you find yourself watching a Disney movie or planning a trip to one of their theme parks, take a moment to appreciate the incredible legacy Walt Disney left behind. Let your imagination soar as you delve into tales filled with love, adventure, and happily ever afters because at Disney, dreams really do come true.

Outlander 7x02 Thoughts & Easter Eggs

Spoilers below the cut for “The Happiest Place on Earth”

Wow, what an episode! There’s so much to unpack here but I will start by saying that I deeply enjoyed this one. A lot of direct from the book dialogue, some plot that was reworked and-in my opinion-for the better. Brilliant acting by many but especially Sam and Cait. It had a lot squeezed into it but let’s get into it.

Alan Christie

To start, we finally had the resolution for Malva and learned that Alan not only assaulted and abused her for her entire life, but was also the one who killed her. This was such a sensitive storyline and to have those flash backs with Malva made me emotional. Jessica Reynolds is a wonderful actress and her Malva was perfect. This scene was the first one I could feel the pain point of having to end season 6 prematurely. The gap between Malva’s death, followed by the hiatus, to now reach the culmination here almost made the impact of Malva’s death take a back seat to the beginning of these new storylines. You can feel that 7x01 and 02 were meant to be a part of that ending, but what can you do 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s me being nit picky.

But back to Alan. This was almost exactly what happened in the books and I was happy that Young Ian made such a brief appearance. That spacing between episodes likely made people forget that he had a little romance happening with Malva, but his honor once again rang true with his actions here.

Major continuity error with Claire’s wig though– only when she is burying Alan does her hair grow 3 inches, then magically is cut again for the remainder of the episode.

Mrs Bug

Book readers know the upcoming storyline with Mrs. Bug, and we set the foundations this episode when Wendigo and his men come to the Big House in search of gem stones. There they uncover Arch Bug’s hidden gold (which is very significant later on). I loved seeing this preview of what is to come.

Mandy’s Birth

Amanda Fraser is born and we get a very quick moment of happiness for this little family, when the hammer drops that she has a serious heart condition that Claire cannot fix. This is the impetuous behind the MacKenzie’s and the Frasers separating for what I assume will be majority of the season. The scene with them all at the stone circle was very touching and I felt like Cait and Sam’s acting shined brightly here. The best part for me was the quote from Jamie taken directly from the books where he tells Claire

“For your sake, I will continue–though for mine alone…I would not.”

I also deeply enjoyed the Disney tie ins from the book, the humorous moment where Jamie tries to understand how a giant rodent is meant to be fun for children, and his wishes to Jemmy to give a mouse named Michael his regards. All direct from the books, and delivered perfectly.

Bree meets William

The moment we’ve (I’ve) been waiting for, WILLIAM has graced our screens. Though it was short, I squealed when I saw him and Lord John together, especially him in his red coat. You can certainly see the resemblance and while we have yet to see his acting chops on full display, Charles appears to be a perfect casting. He has the cocky confidence of a young Jamie Fraser down pat, I’m curious to see what other nuisances he brings to the role.

Lord John and Jamie

This scene was touching and so well done, Sam and David have always had such great scenes together and really made this relationship between these two men such a beautifully complicated thing. John has long been trying to convince Jamie to do the right thing and fight for the British, but you can see his true intentions here more than ever. If Jamie fights for the British, he can protect him. When Jamie chooses to fight opposite John and William, he knows he cannot.

In a last act of love and friendship, John returns the gem to Jamie from his escape at Ardsmiur. Something we know meant so much to John. His love for Jamie will always win out in the end, and I loved that the scene had room to breathe at the end. John crying alone in his room, and Jamie’s pause outside the door and his watery eyes was perfectly done.

Claire’s Breakdown

In the last scene of episode 1, Claire and Jamie have a discussion about Tom Christie and his confession. In the show, they chose to end that scene with Claire going to sleep while Jamie takes revenge on Richard Brown (and what a badass scene that was). In the books, the moment ends with Claire and Jamie trying to be intimate again, and Claire having a breakdown.

The show has now taken that scene and moved it into episode 2, which actually felt a lot better to me having watched it this way. I was sad that this moment was removed from episode 1 but beyond happy to see it here because it was another wonderful showcase of Sam and Cait’s acting and Claire and Jamie’s love. In the books, Claire cries because she is sad for Tom, for Malva, for Frank. Jamie tells Claire to weep for them because you “canna keep a ghost at bay. He tells her to let them in and grieve for them so she can heal.

In the show, Claire cries for the loss of her family –Fergus and Marsali, the MacKenzies, and Jamie mentions Faith, Murtagh, his mother and brother. They have both lost so many, and he encourages her to cry for them. To me this was so much more poignant and relevant to the events of the episode. I really loved this change.

The Throwing of the Gem

Another iconic scene the we finally got to see brought to life was when Jamie gives Claire the gem stone and tells her that she can go with Bree, or go back if he should die. The acting in this was so perfect and in the books, Claire throws the stone far into the woods to prove to Jamie once again that she is never leaving him. I enjoyed his little jab that she should probably go and recover it.

Wendigo Donner

The return of Wendigo Donner finally closed the loop on the big house fire, and I’m so excited to see how the beginning of episode 3 starts. The highlight of this scene for me was the callback to season 3, when Claire is pretending to be abducted so that Jamie can get what he needs from Lord John Grey. In this scene (and in the books) Jamie is lying to Donner about not having gemstones in the house, but then changes his tune once Claire’s life is in danger. He leans into the ‘disgruntled husband upset with his wife’ tune and tells Donner that Claire hid all the stones while he was away, so she is the only one who knows there location (thus making it impossible to kill her). The humor in Claire’s eyes made me laugh in an otherwise tense scene.

We get much of the same dialogue and story beats as the books here but the one subtle change happens when Jamie finds out that the man in their house is in fact Donner and not some random group of men looking for money. As soon as he hears his name, he lunges for Donner to seek revenge on what he had done to Claire.

In the books, Claire slips out of Donners arms and lunges after him, with Jamie holding her back at the waist. They try to plot an escape but one thing leads to another and Jamie actually kills Donner with a knife before the ether explodes. In the books, it is because Young Ian lit a match to help illuminate the dark room everyone was sitting in. Big change, subtle change, but one I’m interested in seeing them explain next episode.

All in all I loved this one, I’m enjoying the changes made and the pacing of this felt better than the first episode. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Wednesday 100: Fraser Blanket

Jamie couldn’t sleep those first nights after Claire discovered Mandy was ill. He would imagine taking her for rides through the Ridge just like he promised; praying to Saint Eligius that he might see fit to bless them with some version of that dream, even if he wouldn’t be able to be with her for it. While he couldn’t sleep, he knit. It was a wee white blanket with three strawberries crocheted in the center. He hoped it would keep Mandy warm on the journey and give her something of him and Claire to keep with her as she grew.

Back at the ol' Tumblr office on east 21st street in Manhattan, we had this freight elevator, which was great as it was basically an express route up to the engineering floor. However, the thing had a habit of getting stuck. Sometimes so bad the fire dept had to come in. It happened often enough we considered it a rite of passage.

The elevator eventually, involuntarily, had a mascot bestowed upon it. This, thing, showed up one day.

We called it the Elevator Troll. An unsanctioned game of "elf on the shelf" caused it to move to different, unexpected parts of the elevator. Sometimes it showed up in random places on other floors.

After the Verizon deal went through, they decided to shut down the Tumblr office as a cost-saving measure, moving the employees in with some Yahoo and AOL people. On the last night in the office, we threw a massive party on the ground floor. People who had left Tumblr staff years before showed up to the rager. I think eventually random passers by just got in because free booze.

The Elevator Troll had one last hurrah, when we shoved a shot glass into its decapitated head, and coerced people to do a shot from the Elevator Troll's head to pay the troll toll.
