Could be? I'm not really an expert on fairy tales. That said, I remember being surprised that Aurora wasn't put to sleep for a hundred years, so it was at least the first version I encountered where she'd met the prince. Alice in Wonderland 1951 First Seen: Early childhood. Every time I see...

Hokay, spent entirely too long slacking off. Cinderella 1950 First Seen: Childhood. Cinderella is the first full-length in a while. While it's superior to the package films as storytelling and animation, I'd rate it lesser than Bambi. It took Walt a while to rebuild the animation team, I...

*squints* Is Sonic wearing his burnt-up shoes from the first episode? I'm suspecting that Shadow pulled off one of Nine's stabilizer dealies.

I saw the first two episodes and I'm willing to give it a third, but I'm hoping that it shapes up before long. The show has been throwing a lot of stuff into the mix, but hasn't really tied any of it together. The mystery has been borderline irrelevant so far, and while they're using some...

"Plus-size, obese..." I take it that no pointed out that she's the same size as the yellow guy?

I'm split between it being an in-story replica of the historical location, or an odd cosmic coincidence. Honestly, coincidence is probably the most coherent explanation; I'm not sure why anyone would try to recreate the layout of ancient castle town with any degree of fidelity, and having the...

Every single time that someone acts like a building in BotW is the original building from an earlier game, I'm mystified. The idea that any building that isn't Sheikah super-tech is even ten thousand years old completely shatters my suspension of disbelief. Honestly, given that Hyrule was...

Last of the package films. Melody Time 1948 First Seen: Childhood. Pretty sure it was in school. This one is mostly musical shorts, but the adaptations of Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill are much longer. Unsurprisingly, this story kinda skips that the apples Chapman planted were meant for...

Make Mine Music 1946 First Seen: Uncertain. I'm pretty sure that I saw at least some of the shorts as a kid, but I don't know if I saw the entire group at the time. So. This is the only entry in the Canon that isn't on Disney+. I managed to find it elsewhere, but fricken' seriously, why...

Something that always kind of surprises me is that only a couple of those first films did well in theatres. Combined with many of Disney's animators going to fight in Word War II, the next few films are greatly decreased in scope and ambition. Mostly, they're just packages of shorts. Saludos...

That's the only post I had saved, so on to the quick ones... And I didn't decide to try a third thread until I watched Bambi, so I didn't take notes. These'll be a bit rough. Pinocchio 1940 First Seen: Too young to remember. This is the original appearance of the song When you Wish Upon a...

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 This film is known for being the first feature-length animated film, albeit with some caveats. There were a few earlier long form animations, but they didn't use cel animation. Snow White is definitely the first feature-length English language cel-animated...

Members of previous iterations of this board might remember that I've started but never finished watching all the films in the Disney animated canon in order. Welp, my family's Disney+ subscription is ending next year, so I figure that's impetus to actually try to watch them all. I'm going to...

It was a Midnighter comic, of all things, that actually sent him back to a reasonable-ish time to kill Hitler; during WWI, so he was definitely a doucheknuckle but hadn't had time to start a political movement.

Well, he'll keep screaming after that, but at least he'll be harder to hear.

It took me a moment to realize what you did in the first video, and that is just despicably petty.

Six points, although I suspect that the person that made that would be more generous on scoring me.

It was obvious that we were tanking the environment twenty years ago. I suppose that it wasn't obvious that we were going to do sweet hug-all about it, though.

Yeah. The movie wanted to tell a small, personal story about accepting failure and consequences. Unfortunately, it was also supposed to be a bombastic origin story that launches a franchise, so kind of a poor fit.

Yes? Animation has a long development time, but that hardly precludes twists and turns.
