21/6/25: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE DIRECTORY!

First: The Maya And Miguel games category featuring it's websites and games have been added to the directory. Other categories have also been fixed and updated with new games.

Second: As of today I'm no longer planning to announce new updates about the directory via Tumblr reblogs. I feel like it's starting to become an inconvenient and tiresome routine that is preventing viewers of my blog from being able to explore and interact with other posts like my Nostalgiamare Entries. So I've decided to implement an update log on my directory that documents all updates and new additions to it. From now on you'll be able to check out what's recent in the shop there.

DON'T WORRY! The directory is still a priority of mine and more updates will be coming soon, I just wanted a more efficient way for you guys to know if there's anything new in the doc. Thank you for your patience, enjoy the directory and stay tuned for more posts!

After the shutdown of my old website I felt bad that I pretty much took away a database that made it easy to find old 2000s childhood web browser games. Considering it has been difficult to find a website I could continue to host preservations and archives of Flash and Shockwave material with ease, I decided for the time being the new and temporary home of what I have archived will be here. It's not as colourful as my old site (Though I've tried to have it appeal to my aesthetic), but at least everything and more is and will continue to be preserved here! Much like my old website I will continue to reblog this post every time I update the doc with a new brand/category of games. Currently all games from my old website have been preserved here as well as some new additions. I've also added the Disney Princess, 4kids and Orisinal categories of websites and games. If you have any interest in helping out then just DM.

NOSTALGIAMARE ENTRY 43

NAME: THE KING AND I

COMPANY/FRANCHISE: WARNER BROS

MORGAN CREEK

RANKIN/BASS PRODUCTIONS

NEST FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT

CATEGORY: MOVIE (ANIMATED/THEATRICAL)

YEAR: 1999

DESCRIPTION: A loose animated adaptation of the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical of the same name, which in turn is based off a fictionalised account of English traveler and educator Anna Leonowens' life as a governess to King Mongkut of Siam's children. In the early 1860s, Anna Leonowens and her son travel to the Grand Palace of Siam (Now known as Thailand) to tutor the children of King Mongkut, a king who is renowned for his "Barbaric" customs with an eagerness to modernise and westernise his country. But during the course of her visit, Anna encounters more than what she expected. This includes a star-crossed romance between prince and servant, an evil Prime Minister with powers of sorcery who's plotting to be rid of the king's throne, and her own relationship with Mongkut that transforms from rivalry, to friendship, to love.

MOD THOUGHTS

1: You can guess from the slowly batshit becoming description why the Rodgers and Hammerstein estate went "That's it, no more animated movies". (As if there weren't enough problems with the original source materials...)

2: Oh... Oh god.

Even in an animated movie with a large majority of decent Southeast Asian character designs how did THIS get past green-lighting???

3: If I had to say ANYTHING honestly positive about this movie, it's probably the soundtrack. No pointless new songs, no ridiculous changes to the already existing songs that are made to desperately appeal to a "modern audience", not even a titular villain song. Just most of the same songs from the original musical in their original format (Though with some being shorter due to runtime) with very talented singers.

This is only part of the score and not a song but they even incorporated a shorter version of The March of the Siamese children, which is pretty on point with the original 1956 clip. So uhh, good job movie?

NOSTALGIAMARE ENTRY 42

NAME: LOONATICS UNLEASHED

COMPANY/FRANCHISE: LOONEY TUNES

WARNER BROS ANIMATION

KIDS WB

THE CW

CATEGORY: TV SERIES (ANIMATED)

YEAR: 2005

DESCRIPTION: A darker, edgier and more action-packed spin on the well-remembered Looney Tunes. In the year 2772, a meteor strikes a waterfront located in the ecumenopolis city of Acmetropolis. As a result of the supernatural energy that was released from the strike, a fraction of the city's population had their genetic codes severely altered; Granting them unique superpowers. 6 of these affected residents are the descendants of Looney Tunes characters, and are called upon by their leader the mysterious Zadavia to become a superhero team and protect the planet from any malicious forces in the way. Thus, Loonatics Unleashed was born.

MOD THOUGHTS:

1: Me thinking about how this whole debacle back when the show was first teased was basically the Sonic movie drama before the Sonic movie drama:

Though thank god they ended the same way because I'm so glad we never got THESE designs and instead got something more on par with the Looney tunes.

And thank god for the name changes as well because who in the ever loving hell though this would be a good name for the Taz descendant 😐.

2: I would like to point out that the backlash on how much the show in the first season strayed away from it's original source material and how it was too serious and edgy (Though some of it's understandable cause if not for the Looney Tune character callbacks I would've thought it was another typical action superhero sci-fi cartoon the first time I watched season 1) was so bad that it forced the people behind the show to make drastic changes with the second season in order to make the show appear more comedic, light-hearted and on par with the original Looney Tunes. They even changed the theme song.

...Desperation really does lead to some reckless decisions because this theme song's not good.

3: But on a more positive note I love the concept of turning antagonistic (or at the very least devious) characters and/or using them as the basis for more multi-dimensional heroic/anti-heroic protagonists. And that also means I love Tech E Coyote.
