watch diary of a future president !!
everyone, please, please, PLEASE watch diary of a future president on disney+ - it will be removed in a week but the list of shows/movies being removed, is still being finalized, according to deadline
everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come
they've already decided to keep howard after saying it would be removed, so maybe, if enough people watch it, it will stay on the streaming service
if you're looking for reasons to watch:
the show centers on a family (a mother, her two children and her boyfriend)
the family is cuban-american (apart from the mother' boyfriend, who is american)
the mc is 12-year-old elena cañero-reed, who, as we learn in the first scene and hear in the title of the show, grows up to be president one day
the show is (partly) narrated by her, as these are the things she wrote in her diary when she was 12
each episode has a plot for elena, for her 14-year-old brother and for their mother (and her boyfriend), so it can appeal to all age groups
there is a lot of lgbtq+ presentation, both in side/background characters and one of the mcs has a storyline revolving around their sexuality (and, don't worry, their storyline is happy most of the time)
the show talks about themes of friendship, finding your identity, puberty, loss of a loved one (as elena and bobby's father died a few years ago) and more
if someone wants to watch it with their children (does anyone on tumblr have children? lmao) don't worry, the show has a positive message
the cast is very diverse
i hope some people watch it, and i'm going to put A LOT of tags, so this post reaches as many people as possible (i only have 6 followers, so i don't know if that would work otherwise)
@xhavibee (sorry for tagging you but you post a lot about doafp and i know you have a lot of followers, so if you reblog this, we could reach even more people)
everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come
if you've read up until here, ily <3

I want to like this show, and I still am holding out hope it will be good.
But my biggest fear when this show was announced was that with just a TV Budged that they CGI might not be where it would need to be for She-Hulk and she would fall into the uncanny vlley. And honestly, the trailer while fun like She-Hulk should be, does look like she might have.
Hopefully they still have some tweaking to do and it will improve.

people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.
what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.
you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

Early visual development for Wish (2023) by Griselda Sastrawinata-Lemay and Brittney Lee.
An earlier version of the film saw Star take on a human form as a magical, glowing character inspired by Peter Pan. Ultimately, the creative team reconceptualized Star as an ethereal, playful entity resembling Mickey Mouse. "Now Star and Asha have an emotional journey. They are soulmates." -Allison Moore.

hey just an FYI, disney's new animated movie strange world, which they're saying has their first gay character, is not like, a joke. i just saw it and it's an ACTUAL first gay character. he's the protagonist. him being gay is not his entire character but it's also not like, a cameo, or a background thing, or one scene you can cut out. it's a multi-generational story about this kid and his father and grandpa, and him being gay comes up in adorable ways throughout the story (to the point where this movie is gay enough to immediately be banned in several countries). it's really well done and a very pleasant surprise from the mouse and people should go watch it!

WAIT WAIT WAIT
YOU'RE TELLING ME
THE TITLE CARD FROM CINDERELLA (1950) EXPLICITLY SAYS IT'S BASED ON THE PERRAULT VERSION OF THE STORY???
WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THE SANCTIMONIOUS EDGELORDS SMARMING ABOUT HOW "well Disney toned it down; the One True Grimms' Original akschully has blood and no fairy and feet getting cut up, so there" IF THEY HAD JUST
BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE AND THEN GOOGLE "PERRAULT CINDERELLA???"
excuse me I need to go scream into a pillow
(I'm not saying Ashenputtel isn't possibly older as a folktale than its 1812 publication date in the Grimms' book, but Perrault's version was published in the 1690s. so...)
