I know as far as their more “horror” themed movies go Coraline is the usual go-to for Halloween, but I will stand by ParaNorman being the Laika Halloween movie ever

i've seen so many people (usually women) say about the stitch remake "let nani be happy" in regards to giving up lilo and going to the USA for school

which just like goes to show that people are right you know? white people cannot engage with media that is not about them and watch it to gain new perspective. you see white people do this with ghibli all the time.

in this instance, white people watched the original stitch, absorbed absolutely nothing about the message on colonialism or that nani desperately actually wants to keep lilo, and instead just superimposed themselves onto nani. of course they think she should "just be happy" and leave her sister with the state. of course they think that "she's with a family friend and can portal any time".

there's not even a shallow understanding of the original movie and its themes. there's absolutely no knowledge of Hawai'i and its history and how Hawai'ians feel.

By and large, white people as a group are hyper individualists. it's like a cornerstone of white supremacy. "my wants/desires/needs above all others" and "my comfort above all others". They think Nani deserves their version of happiness. One that's how they navigate real life: sacrificing everything but personal gain under the guise of self care. Acting like abandoning your family and community is only brave and freeing. Painting it like a feminist retelling of the original.

So many proving they are not immune to propaganda. That disney can just wrap up this colonialist retelling of a once profound story and package it to you with smiley stickers and sanitized storylines of the Progressive Woman Who Girlbosses To Happiness and you lap it up because feminist stories are just about Doing What's Best For Me Only apparently. It pivots away from Nani's agency in the first movie. Her desire to do all she can to keep Lilo. And people celebrate it because feminism is when women do What I Think They Should to be Happy.

I don't think enough people listen to people who have been in the system. Or understand how dangerous it is to have it painted as heartwarming and safe. It doesn't matter who Lilo is with at the end of the movie. If you think the state won't disappear children you need to look up some statistics and ask yourself why Nani was so desperate to keep her in the original film.

Disney Princes/Heroes may be the most underrated and least discussed group in the entirety of the Disneyverse, but we already knew this, tbh. I think outside of hotness debates and the frequent, "He looked at her like this 🥺" from fangirls, not much is said about them, nor is there a lot of content and merch based on them. That is just referring to them within fandom spaces. Mainstream just ignores them altogether. Ngl, as someone who has truly found a lot of value and depth in them, it makes me sad.

I have an urge to promote my favorite YouTube series -- "My Roommate Is Hades."

E1 -- A thirty-year-old named Homer decides to go back to college to get a degree in something different. His assigned roommate is Hades, who found himself enrolled in college without his permission and without explanation.

E2 -- It's the first day of classes and Homer drags Hades to his Mechanical Engineering class.

Besides Hades, we meet Hermes and Hephaestus, and other gods are mentioned. All of them are enrolled in the college and none of them know why.

Thomas's writing and editing are top notch, as is his acting as Homer.

This version of Hades has to be the most in-character I've ever seen in modern productions.

Please check out this series, I desperately need more episodes.

hope this explains it
