Yo! Ostober day 2! This one is heart! Prompts created by @jestierabbit!
Yes, Mickey is here again but I just can't separate them sometimes! They're such adorable siblings who deserve to stick together!😭😭😭
Anyway, this connects to my headcanon that thanks to Mickey's influence and him spreading the word about how Oswald needs to be back in the spotlight, his heart was split in half so now, they both technically have a heart! Nothing changes with how it works and to Oswald, this is the nicest thing he's ever seen in his life. He truly believes he's very lucky.
Oswald: Today on how to Disappoint the Animation Staff at Disney, 1 be me, 2 Become a nuisance when they reject you, 3 start owning up to the redheaded stepchild title, that really grinds their gears.
Mickey: *rubbing his brow* Oswald this is 4th time this month they have tossed you into my office because your too much and that is saying something Animators are the most chaotic staff in the company.
Oswald: No shame in my game, not my fault I'm chaos incarnate*puts feet up on Mickeys desk*
Mickey: *sighs heavily* Dad give me patience because if you give me strength your eldest is gonna end up in the hospital.
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...)
THEY NEED TO POST A VIDEO AT 7:30 OF THEM AT AN OLIVE GARDEN ASKING IF THE TABLE IS READY.
will they get the table? will we have to wait another 15 years for the food? will they not have the reservation ready and have to make a new one? who knowsssss 😭.
Sleeping Beauty (1959) turned 65, and it remains still such a beautiful film. It's one of my favourite quintessential fantasy films, and I adore princess Aurora and Maleficent!
Oswald: "Mick! PLEASE TELL ME I'M GONNA GET MY OWN SHOW OR SOMETHIN' NOW!! PLEASE!! TA' COMPANY HAS BEEN PROMOTING ME A LOT LATELY!!!"
Mickey: "Ozzy, I'm trying to get you your own stuff! I promise! Please stop shaking me!"
(Slight detail but HC that Mickey, as a mascot of the company, doesn't really; if at all; have any say in the decisions Disney makes. He can influence them but he mostly goes unheard for the most part. Currently, his suggestions and influences seem to be working......Hopefully......)
i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else
