"It’s easy to confuse the history of disability portrayals in TV sitcoms with the “very special episode” that specialized in dark topics followed by comforting homilies, all soundtracked by awkward laughter from the live studio audience. However, if you look back at the episodes that featured characters with disabilities, they weren’t the stuff of VSEs. They belonged to narratives about the disability, all with a single mantra: People with disabilities are simply people. An innocuous, if obvious, lesson, but here’s where the VSE confusion might arise: These sitcoms didn’t feature full-fledged disabled characters. They tended to be two-dimensional cardboard cutouts that were not meant to have lives of their own, but rather teach the able bodied how to be better people."

— Kristen Lopez, "A Very Special Inspiration: When Disabled TV Characters Existed Only to Teach Empathy"

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: But Have You Read the Book?: 52 Literary Gems That Inspired our Favorite Films by Kristen Lopez 

This new book from Turner Classic Movies (my home away from home!) is divided into chapters about amazing movies and the books that inspired them. Plenty of the books discussed in these pages will be familiar to students because they frequently appear on school reading lists, including Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, Emma, The Color Purple, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Little Women. There are also some books that are mostly remembered for their silver screen adaptations, such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Godfather, Jaws, Psycho, and Blade Runner. While most of the movies discussed in this book are what we would consider “classics,” there are also some that were adapted into movies more recently, like Coraline, The Hunger Games, Children of Men, Crazy Rich Asians, Dune, Call Me By Your Name, and If Beale Street Could Talk.

This book provides an entertaining overview of lots of famous books and movies, and also answers the age-old question: If I’m supposed to read a book but don’t have the energy or the time, could I just watch the movie instead? Hint: the answer is sometimes, but not usually, especially if the screenwriters made some surprising changes to the original story (I’m looking at YOU, Mildred Pierce … and The Shining … and Clueless …)

Give this book to teens and adults who enjoy classic books and classic movies, as well as anyone who’s looking for great reading and watching suggestions!

disney used to hire the baddest bitches on broadway and now for their big 100th anniversary movie they've got julia michaels and a guy who wrote some songs with lady gaga.

#no offense to either of them but like. these are not people who have ever written a musical and it shows! #say what you want about lin manuel miranda he absolutely DEVOURED the moana soundtrack #frozen was as good and as huge as it was because of tony winners kristen and robert anderson-lopez #the renaissance that literally saved the studio is due almost entirely to alan menken and howard ashman broadway's rising stars #what was the thought process here genuinely

For Fun: Here's My Favorite Disney Songs That Were Deleted/Changed In The Final Film (Part 5)

Eventually, the Disney executives decided the film wasn't working, and called for a complete retool. Roger Allers left, leaving Cats Don't Dance director Mark Dindal as the sole director on the film. The film became a buddy comedy, road-trip Looney Tunes-esque film set in ancient Peru, known as Kingdom in the Sun, later known by release as The Emperor's New Groove. All of Sting and David Hartley's songs were cut, but they stayed on to write "Perfect World", Kuzco's theme for the beginning and end of the film, and "My Funny Friend and Me' which is the end credits song. However, at one point, Yzma was going to have her own reprise of "Perfect World". About halfway through the film, after Kuzco's fake funeral would've been when this reprise would've taken place. (The fact that Eartha Kitt does not sing in the final film at all is the biggest problem of Emperor's New Groove)

(If you do get the chance, check out the documentary "The Sweatbox" on Internet Archive. It documents the crazy development of this film, and Disney intentionally tried to bury it as it made their execs look bad. It's very interesting, so give it a watch!)

Tangled and Frozen were both in development for a significantly long time for Disney movie standards. Back when Tangled was called Rapunzel, songwriter Chris Curtis wrote these two songs based on an early draft: "All That I've Done for You" and "Are There Girls In The World Like Me?"

For the final film, there was a cut reprise of "When Will My Life Begin" and "Mother Knows Best" was also longer initially.

Alan Menken wrote an early song for Frozen called "Love Can't Be Denied" back when the film was called The Snow Queen

Finally, my personal favorite cut song from Frozen by the Lopez's is "Life's Too Short" which was replaced by the "First Time in Forever" reprise in the final film. I like how the sibling energy feels between Anna and Elsa here.

That's all the songs I'm gonna cover here, but there are plenty more. Alice in Wonderland had like two movie's worth of cut songs to go through. But thank you for indulging in my wordy nerd posts!

Jen and Chris gave us this insight into the characters early on that Elsa is a mythic character and Anna is a fairy tale character,” Bobby said. “They’re two different kinds of heroines, and I think in terms of their songs, and they’re really the two main characters, Elsa’s style reaches for that pop opera — mythic, epic contemporary feel. And instead of going for fairytale princess for Anna, this time, because it felt like in Frozen 1, Anna had already gone through her big lesson, we really went more for a folk rock influence in this one - Bobby Lopez
