2 and a half weeks until JC passes Cactus Jack!

It took me a little bit to figure out what you were referencing, but yes, Jimmy Carter will pass John Nance Garner as the longest-living President or Vice President in American history on September 18th. And if he is still with us on October 1st, Carter will be the first President or Vice President in American history to celebrate their 99th birthday.

A screenshot of a swedish wikipedia page titled "Zuckerman's Famous Pig". The page reads:

"Zuckerman's Famous Pig är en sång skriven av Richard M. Sherman och Robert B. Sherman till filmen Fantastiska Wilbur, och inspelad av Soundtrack 1973. Med text på svenska av Bosse Carlsson spelades den in 1976 av Magnus & Brasse, som Svordomsvisan."

Translated to english: Zuckerman's Famous Pig is a song written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman to the movie Charlotte's Web, and recorded by Soundtrack 1973. With lyrics in swedish by Bosse Carlsson it was recorded in 1976 by Magnus & Brasse, as "The Curse Song"

Decription end]

it. is not the same lyrics. like, yea the music is the same but. they did not just translate the lyrics. zuckermans famous pig isnt a song full of curses, its about a great pic. what the fuck

#description added simply for the convenience of translation #but yea swedish randomness #found this when looking up for english translations of the song

[carolinanadeau]

I was a lonely man Resigned to spend my life Without the blessing of a lovely wife Then there was you, then I was not a lonely man

You were a lonely man But something else was true A lonely girl just took one look at you She fell in love, in love with that lovely, lonely man

How did you touch my heart? How did this feeling start? This glow that feels so warm inside This sudden summer storm inside

My life now has a plan To always make you see That I love you as much as you love me Never to be, never to be as we began One lonely girl, one very lonely man

#ok HOLD UP #it's real?? this could have existed? #why didn't they at least record it with the actors T_T #I need to hear them sing this #I'm glad this version exists at least so I can know the lyrics #thank you archive.org #I'm learning that there is so much squandered potential with this movie but one good thing is that #at least the canon is so muddled that it can be whatever I want #but my God #this is a PERSONAL attack #this is canon #TC tag #chitty chitty bang bang #audio #my original post #'took just one look' feels more correct but I transcribed it accurately! #also forcing tumblr to format this correctly was hellishly hard for some reason

Some notes: Noirvember, and as usual I never go full Noir but I did watch mostly Noirs. Some good Noirs, some not so good Noirs, and a few “hmmm, I’m not really convinced these are Noirs” too. I mostly worked my way through the films I hadn’t watched from Indicator’s Noir box sets - with a couple of detours. Being very taken with Märta Torén in Sirocco led me to The Man Who Watched Trains Go By which I really enjoyed, and a Losey fest almost started but I got sidetracked...

I Was Always Me, In a Way.

I remember not liking the 1968 kids movie musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I found the kids irritating, and I was not interested in many of the songs.

The trailer is long on slapstick and sentiment.

I have memories of seeing it both in a movie theater and on TV. But I would have been six years old when the movie came out, and I'm not sure my parents let me go to movies alone that young.

I think I liked the one where the adults sing about candy and make whistles out of candy. I remember watching it on TV and feeling relieved and happy that a good number finally came on.

I was more interested in the villain than the kids. The villain (really the villain's helper) was the Child Catcher. he has a long nose, which is probably an anti-Semitic stereotype, which he uses to sniff out children. (Children are illegal in the kingdom where that part of the story takes place.) It's like the opposite of the Star Trek episode where adults are outlawed.

Reviews at the time were mixed to negative.

Reviewers thought the movie talked down to children, and as a child, I think I saw it that way.

"The $10 million film lacks warmth. No real feeling is generated between any two characters. As well as one star performer, from Mary Poppins have come all the musical talent – songwriters Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman and the choreographers [Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood]. But there has been no desire to reprise the Edwardian music hall tradition, aspects of which so informed Poppins.

Howes goes through the romantic motions with Van Dyke and the maternal ones with the kids, but there is no real sentiment between players."

Howes goes through the romantic motions with Van Dyke and the maternal ones with the kids, but there is no real sentiment between players."

Doing some research, I discover that the people who owned the right to Ian Fleming's James Bond books also owned the rights to his children's book about a magical car.

After Julie Andrews appearance in the musical My Fair Lady on Broadway, she was such a hot commodity that people fought over her. The producers of the film of My Fair Lady foolishly cast a movie star who couldn't sing (Audrey Hepburn), and so Disney cleverly snatched up Julie Andrews for their 1964 kids movie based on a book Mary Poppins, co-starring Dick Van Dyke.

The same year My Fair Lady was released, and Hepburn and Andrews both got Oscar noms but Andrews won for playing Mary Popppins.

So the Bond producers owned the rights to Fleming's children's book and made a kids movie musical featuring Dick Van Dyke. There's even a musical number ("The Old Bamboo") which is a lot like the chimney sweet dance in Mary Poppins.

The female star Sallie Ann Howes is basically a substitute for Julie Andrews. Andrews was busy working for Hitchcock and other high-profile things. She was not about to make another kiddie picture after having made a celebrated one.

The producers of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang also hired Roald Dahl to write the screenplay, and Dahl's children's book about a child and a chocolate factory was made into a much bigger hit in 1971: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The director of Chitty Chitty worked a lot, but he did not have any major hits. Chitty Chitty was a flop. Which I didn't know as a child.

Things have changed since 1968.

Today (April 16, 2023) the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang DVD DVD gets 4.8 stars stars from almost 9,000 reviews reviews.

One Amazon reviewer says basically this: they made this for the wrong reasons.

"I don't know how this movie wasn't sued into oblivion, especially by Disney. It takes so much from Mary Poppins, it's an abomination. And throw in The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, My Fair Lady, Wile E Coyote cartoons…bits of business, choreography, and the music, one song is a direct rip off of With A Little Bit of Luck! I just thank God DVD didn't try another British accent, bad enough we've had to listen to the English bang on about his bad Cockney for the last 60 years.

Talented cast, no mistake, but ill-used….

….I watched this in five sittings, I wanted to finish it, but I just couldn't stick with it for an extended period, and it is painfully long and slow -- that Toot Sweets number was like one of those bugs you keep swatting but it never seems to die?"

I later discovered that the Child Catcher was played by Robert Helpmann: a revered ballet dancer who danced leads and also played 'character parts' in ballet. He danced the role of Hamlet, which is one of my favorite plays.

And he has an important role in the movie The Red Shoes. This later became one of my favorite movies. It's about an empressario who falls in love with his lead ballet dancer and works her literally to death--or suicide, I think it's ambiguous.

When we are young, we don't know who we are or what we will become.

Some experiences from childhood later in hindsight tell us about the person we will become.

Movies don't change. People do, but maybe not that much.

Not really an imagine or anything but on the subject of clockboy; does he make sound? Like ticking? Is he clockwork inside to move around or is he just designed to look like the real clock face (when you draw him humanoid that is). I like your art a lot and love picking peoples brains when the “canon”(?) real life equivalent of their FO doesn’t have a humanoid body. You two are super cute :>

OH Boy....... i have. so much like, "lore" about him it's unreal but i dont have much written down nor is it like, comprehensible. but this stuff, i DO have pretty well thought out so here's some ramblings...

on the topic of sounds:

he has a few sounds he can make, the most notable being the tick-tocking like his real life equivalent does. and for those unfamiliar, this particular rendition of the Clock Parade music has his tick-tocks at the beginning

in this version of the music, it goes in order of tick-tocks, the "jumble" music, drumroll and trumpeting, the parade music, "announcement" chime, and then hourly tolls -- of all that, the only other sound he can make as the humanoid version are the hourly tolls (the "bongs," if you will)

i think SOME of the sounds you can hear in the "jumble" he could potentially make, as well, but since the way the facade is animated during it, i don't think his humanoid form would have the like, "anatomy" for it. for simplicity sake (and my lack of good enough hearing to pick apart all the sounds and figure out what would make sense and/or be cute), he cannot make any from it in particular

so we have tick-tocks and bongs... i think he could make additional chimes (think of chimes from more standard clocks that are like small bells going off on the hour or something) but that's probably about it

he cannot talk (in my lore, when he was made, they were unable to give him the ability to speak, and he has denied the idea of being "upgraded" to be able to), and that's really the only thing im super picky about people depicting about him sound-wise.

im kinda leaning toward making him part-toon since the attraction is SO close to Toontown in Disneyland and TDL so it'd be kinda cute, so if i go that route, he could probably make any sounds that would fit any applicable gags or something idk

on the topic of clockwork aspects:

obviously as a humanoid he doesn't function like a big ol cuckoo clock like he does on the facade, but he isn't organic so he's got some clockwork aspects to him! from his ref, the main things are the gears on the back of his head, and the doors on his chest that open to a pendulum

the gears suck to draw which is why I don't draw him from the back if I can avoid it LMFAO

the gears are essentially his "brain" -- they're constantly moving at a relatively slow pace. i don't think they can be stopped (unless someone gets their finger stuck in there but why are you putting your hands back there?! even i wouldn't do that!) but SHOULD they get stopped, he wouldn't like, die or go brain dead or something. they can probably change speed (like slowing more when sleeping, racing when anxious, etc) but it's not like, super noticeable when you're facing him

the pendulum in his chest is his "heart" and is also constantly moving. however if THIS stops, he does pretty much enter an immediate state of rest/hibernation. again, this stopping wouldn't kill him, but i don't think it's pleasant to have it stop... it'd be more akin to passing out than to a heart attack though (but that's partially because it's absolutely happened a few times to him and also i dont wanna think about my favorite character having a heart attack when i get health anxiety about it... anyway)

the pendulum is what dictates how fast his tick-tocking is. the default rate of it is whatever BPM* his actual tick-tocks on the facade irl are. his pendulum fluctuates speeds much more frequently and the "rule" is they have to be divisible by a second, but it's not something i'm picky about and is kinda hard to explain lol

*I think the song is around 120 BPM and he definitely is not moving that fast like... i think his ticks and tocks are spaced like, 1.25 seconds apart or something REALLY weird. it's not a 1:1 ratio like a standard clock and it is the only thing i would change about him

OH and also, in my non-canon alt design of him, his chest does open on the quarter hour to show the time. only time it doesn't is when he's sleeping/resting. he can probably latch it closed somehow but it's probably a Whole Thing

#oh tumblr didnt keep my picture formatting so sorry this is LONG whne u open it

🐯🐾 Former Disney animator Andreas Deja wrote in a blog post that Tigger is a combination of a real tiger, a stuffed animal, and a Pablo Picasso-style drawing. Much like with my sketches of Wendy, I based these rough drawings on Milt Kahl drawings I saw online. They were of a scene from the 1968 “Winnie the Pooh” featurette “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day” where Tigger excitedly proceeds to Pooh Bear’s table for a smackeral of honey, only to reject it after declaring “Tiggers don’t like honey!”. 🍯

Description: In 1968, George Lanigan leaves the University of Maryland and sets off on the journey of his life. He volunteers to serve his country in the Vietnam War and enlists in the army where he becomes an elite Special Forces advisor in a top-secret program. The United States is clandestinely training the Cambodian Army, Forces Armees Nationales Khmeres, and Lanigan is at the heart of the mission. In this personal memoir, LTC George R. Lanigan, USA (Retired), adapts his forty-year-old letters and correspondence to his parents into an emotionally compelling and suspenseful narrative that relates his daily life of survival and political tension. It's an inside, firsthand look at a rare, and previously classified, Vietnam War experience. But its scope reaches beyond the war itself and illuminates the realities soldiers face returning home, building a life, and even visiting war zones four decades later. Its openness and honesty will resonate with war veterans, their friends and family members, those suffering post-traumatic stress disorder, and people of all ages who are interested in American history. Readers will learn about war life, a volatile political environment, and how personal experiences weave together to create the person one eventually becomes.

Which song in the film 'Mary Poppins' won the Oscar for 'Best Song' in 1965?

'Chim Chim Cher-ee' is a song from the 1964 musical film 'Mary Poppins' sung by Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews. It won the 1964 Academy Award for Best Original Song. The song was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman, known as the Sherman Brothers, who won an Oscar and a Grammy Award for the film score.

The song was inspired by a drawing of a chimney sweep by the screenwriter, Don DaGradi. Intrigued, the Sherman Brothers asked DaGradi about the image. He explained that in Edwardian Britain, people believed shaking hands with a chimney sweep brought person good luck. This idea solidified the character Bert, a chimney sweep, whose theme tune became 'Chim Chim Cher-ee'.

'Mary Poppins' was produced by Walt Disney and was based on the 'Mary Poppins' stories by P. L. Travers. The film is about a family living in London of 1910 that needs a nanny for their children, Jane and Michael. A magical woman named Mary Poppins accepts on the role and takes the children on many special adventures.
