He found the commission artistically dubious and bridled at the constraints placed on him by the church. He then didn't even get paid properly. Ya was going to say. It’s fun hearing about them being inspired by god or whatever when in most cases they were just doing a gig or earning room and board for those with money at the time (kings, lords, and churches) Tho occasionally you’d get those unknowingly driven insane by paint chemicals who made something revolutionary in between getting drunk and stabbing people.

Turns out she was totally justified in wanting to skin more than one hundred puppies alive.

My favorite part of Pinocchio is when he escapes being turned into a donkey and then a dove drops a magical letter of exposition on him which explains "btw Gepetto went on a big adventure looking for you and he got eaten by a whale named Monstro, go find him"

I watched Cruella at a drive-in, so I wondered if maybe it wasn't quite dark enough outside so the movie looked weird. I checked it out again when it hit home video, and nope, it's just lit really loving bad.

This is especially funny because Cruella should really be seeking revenge on their owners but lmao at getting mad at the simple creatures themselves. And not just all dogs but a specific breed of dogs, like some kind of dog racist.

It’s not enough that she’s just a psycho bitch who is wayyyy into fashion and thinks Dalmatian puppies would make a faaabulous outfit. She has to have a tragic backstory that connects her childhood trauma to that specific breed of dog. It’s like an AI wrote it.

Disney got really obsessed with giving all their villains the Wicked treatment because there is an almost single circle Venn diagram of Disney adults and Wicked fans. Cruella can't just be an evil woman who wants to skin adorable dogs, she has to be this tortured girl boss who bootstrapped herself up into the world of high fashion. Maleficent was explicitly inspired by Wicked too, since it was conceived when it got big on Broadway. Not to mention they're hellbent on making live action versions of their movies, most likely for the Chinese market that has very little exposure to Disney films. The whole Wicked thing is even crazier when you consider how Walt Disney had desperately wanted the Wizard of Oz to be a Disney thing but MGM beat them to it. They kept trying to get an Oz vehicle going for almost a century and failed, the last one being Oz the Great and Powerful. They apparently wanted it to be their "boys" franchise but it bombed so hard they just went and bought Marvel. I know Disney is hellbent on owning all media and has been for a bit but it would not surprise me at all if that theory came out to be true.

I liked maleficent, it was a fun way to “remake” sleeping beauty. But the horrors it has brought to the pop culture landscape cannot be forgiven. It just be destroyed.

The craziest thing about Wicked is that in the book she dies at the end (just like in The Wizard of Oz movie), misunderstood and a victim of a fascist state. In the musical I understand she survives with a happy ending and girlpower ensues for all, which is I Am Legend-levels of missing the point.

Never seen Wicked so I'm actually looking forward to that movie so I can finally see what all the fuss is about. Hopefully it's not as horrendously disappointing as when Hamilton hit Disney+. I kept thinking about all those inner city kids who got gifted tickets by guilty rich libs. I'd think a 13-year-old would find it the corniest poo poo they'd ever seen in their life.

I remember being ecstatic that Lucas sold out since it was such a surprise. I saw The People vs George Lucas and everybody thought he was going to say "these are my characters and nobody else can say what they should be except for me" until he died. The best outcome might have been passing lucasfilm onto his children, but I guess none of them had any interest in film making.

I forced a girl i like to watch the first ep of Knuckles, did you know its based on an old boomer game called Sonic the Hedgehog? Ive done an interesting thing you might really like, and created my own "original character" that lives in their universe. His name is Acid Raine and he is half mastadon and half hedgehog and also a vampire but he drinks the twinkles from stars. Anyway i started jumping on the couch singing SHOOTING AT THE WALLS OF HEARTACHE! BANG! BANG! and shooting finger guns in the air when she walked out the door and now wont answer my calls oh well more of the awesome world of Knuckles for me to enjoy!
