Ghost Leviathan posted:Weirdly enough that seems like an excellent way to describe Disney in general for years at this point. Sora is not a very bright person! He's actually kind of dumb! But he has the biggest heart around and can and will befriend almost anyone in the multiverse upon first meeting them, and if you gently caress with any of his friends or anyone he cares about or even threaten to do such a thing he WILL cut through reality itself just to get his hands on you and beat the absolute poo poo out of your sorry darkness-filled rear end. Sora rules.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:I would say they've moved him more to the Spongebob Squarepants model of "such a do-gooder it becomes a personality flaw and causes trouble" Kinda funny people still call that 'recent', from eight years ago. Still love that punchline, though. It reminds me of old-school shorts in presentation, but it's got modern-day cartoon sensibilities for snappy timing and structure.

They also made a Singaporean version which is not very good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWddaS3KWAQ

The best Mickey Mouse cartoon is the one where he goes on a roadtrip with a trailer along with Donald and Goofy and they eat corn on the cob like typewriters.

Same, honestly. It probably depends a lot on where and when you grew up, and whether your parents had any nostalgia for the characters. Were there any Disney cartoons on CBBC in the 90's? For me Mickey Mouse was only ever a mascot for Disney as a company rather than an actual character that might have adventures or traits. Someone I learned about more through cultural osmosis than any actual exposure to any cartoons.

The thing with the old Disney shorts is that they were kept in The Warner Brothers cartoons on the other hand were shown five days a week in the after school "we can show these old cartoons to kids for cheap" hours, and then for an hour on Saturday mornings. Both were originally meant to be shown before feature films for everyone, but the Disney ones were mostly tamed down by Walt's insistence on a tamer humor than the other toons. The Tex Avery toons were a direct reaction to go to the opposite extreme.

Mickey Mouse actually made the transition from genuine cartoon character who stars in shorts and drives the action to company mascot used for company mascot purposes pretty quickly because his do-gooder persona increased very steadily throughout the 30s and by the 40s writers had a really hard time writing a story he could actually be interesting in so if he did show up it was just to be the sane man while Donald and Goofy were actually funny.

My parents got me some of the old mickey mouse cartoons on VHS and when Disney came through on cable I could catch some of the old cartoons late at night. Having access to the old cartoons was one of the main reasons I got Disney+.

Mickey is a relic of the kind of lovely cartoons they made in the early 20th century, where just the fact that things were animated was enough to make people split their sides. "Look Muriel, that cloud has a FACE on it! I think I've poo poo myself laughing again!"

Wasn’t Disney a pay cable channel in the early 80s in the states? I know my parents pirated it off our kiddie pool sized satellite dish out in the forest, and then made VHS tapes* out of a bunch of movies that became the fabric of my childhood, but when we moved into town and had to cut expenses, we stopped getting the Disney Channel. Maybe it was on a premium tier? I also remember going on road trips to cities west of here, and inevitably we’d get to the hotel right as Disney Afternoon started, which was an extra road trip treat for child me. *we moved into town after our house in the forest got burglarized. The thieves took the VCR containing our pirate copy of Robin Hood, possibly saving me from a life in the furry fandom, as well as the remote for the satellite dish. The night before, my dad had been showing one of my uncles how he could get unscrambled porn if he used the right coordinates, and then turned the TV off. That meant we were stuck with 24/7 porn on the TV the thieves failed to jack, as 3 year old DRJ got increasingly upset about not being able to watch Fraggle Rock. My parents eventually paid a guy to come out and physically move the dish to point at a family friendly channel, because it was cheaper than replacing the remote.

The disney channel was certainly on the premium tier cable package in the 80/90s because I remember being able to watch it (and I think cartoon network at first?) because my mom’s house had a higher cable package than my dad’s. It was also all on an east coast schedule which did not help my inability to understand tv scheduling in general in the west. Now that I think about it it was satellite tv because I seem to recall issues when it got stormy or something.

Im glad I never got into Disney channel shows after all those behind the scenes stories of Dan Schneider being a weirdo perv freely. There is no way in hell that man isn't the father of Jamie Lynn's baby, but that fact won't be released until her next book I guess.

The Disney Channel was the only place to see Disney's cartoons but they were a big fancy premium channel you had to pay extra for. I remember that like, every couple of months you'd get a free preview weekend for The Disney Channel and when that happened it was a really big deal so enjoy it while you can because after that weekend who knows when you'd get to see The Disney Channel ever again?

He's the absolutely best.

In Israel they would buy shows piecemeal, both the main broadcast channel(s) and then cable. So the one public broadcast channel had Disney shorts and Looney Tunes, as well as Laurel and Hardy shorts and other unrelated media.
