Maybe there's a brutally harsh lesson to be learned from all this. Maybe not all passion projects are meant to come true. Plus, Judd Apatow moved on from the hit comedies of the mid-2000s.

If Fixed was made in 2007, then it could work, but now, it's way too late for that.

How was the ending of Fixed a downer?

I mean, it's not Dancer in the Dark levels of downer, but you figure this is our protagonist and that he's probably going to escape being neutered. But no, he is, and it's actually played pretty tragically. The note the film ends on is that while he's managed to sire a litter, get the girl, and develop his self-worth, he's more than a little traumatized by what happened and on the whole, female dogs prefer balls.

Not after what Stolas put Octavia through throughout the entire show run.

Doofenshmirtz Is Annoyed By Stolas' Whining

Doofenshmirtz: Okay, I have had it with you. I had a million tragic backstories and I managed to get divorced, but you don't see me whine about it all the time. Unlike you, I'm trying my best to give my daughter the best childhood she could ever wanted, emphasis on the word "Trying"! You would rather spend more time with this horned rat thingy than taking care of your daughter. Why don't you just man up or go wrap yourself up in your own self-pity for all I care! Sheesh, you're just as whiny as my brother Roger.

Mr. Krabs Is Annoyed By Stolas' Whining

Mr. Krabs: Alright, Mr. Stolas that is it, I have had it! You better stop crying this instance or your feathery bottom is out of here! Jeez, even Squidward doesn't whine as much as you! I don't care how poor you are or any of your relationship drama leave it at the door and actually try doing your job!

My character for my Wish rewrite, Princess Celeste, might be the evil Disney Princess that you've been looking for.

I really want Disney to make a Disney princess movie where the princess is evil and doesn’t become good at the end, she just stays sassy and evil throughout the whole thing.

[redjoey1992]

Odalia is evil, but she manages to dominate her family, including her husband.

Stella, on the other hand, is just useless, she has no character of her own, and she only exists to prop up both Stolas and Andrealphus.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs review

INTRODUCTION:

Anybody who's an animation expert or who's interested in animation should know that Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is, and quoted "the one that started it all". While some may say that it's the first animated feature ever told, that distinction belongs to Lotte Reiniger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed, made in Germany of 1926. Snow White, however, is the first American animated feature. Animation were only limited to shorts at the time. A lot of people believed that subjecting to viewing a full-length animated feature would hurt their eyes. However, Walt Disney took a big risk and saw the creative and profitable potential of a feature-length animated film. Snow White went on to become the blockbuster hit of 1937, proving to everyone that animation can be just as profitable as live-action. Over the years, the mold of feature-length animation has evolved, now with the usage of three-dimensional computer animation over the traditional hand-drawn animation.

Snow White pioneering success led it to becoming a critical darling, landing a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and ranking not only at #49 at the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies, but #1 at the AFI' Top 10 countdown to the top ten best animated features. Now, the real question is, does Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs still hold up after nearly 80 years?

STORY:

Everybody already knows the story by heart. Snow White is the princess who is hated by her stepmother, a vain and wicked queen, and has forced her to dress in rags and work as a scullery maid. However, the Magic Mirror tells her that Snow White will become the fairest one of all. The Queen sends a huntsman to kill Snow White and bring back her heart in a box. As you all know, The huntsman couldn't commit to the act and tells Snow White to flee into the woods to hide from the Evil Queen. Now with the help of her new woodland animal friends, she finds a small cottage that she believes to belong to seven small children.

And as you should know, Doc, Happy, Dopey, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Grumpy are actually dwarfs and are also diamond miners. At first they are startled by their uninvited houseguest, but she won them over with her cooking and cleaning. The dwarfs are happy, except for Grumpy. Unfortunately, when the Queen finds out that Snow White is still alive, she decides to take drastic measures and give her a poisoned apple to put her into a Sleeping Death, which can only be broken by love's first kiss.

REVIEW:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, being the first feature-length animated film, tends to have more flaws than strenghs. The main flaw is the character of Snow White herself. She comes off as shrill, overdramatic, and sometimes bland. When compared to the likes of future Disney princesses, Snow White is passive and boring, but as the first princess tale in Disney Animated Canon, she stands out. The Prince is even more blander than she herself is (Fun fact: He appears in only one scene and never shows up again until the end where Snow White is in her sleeping death). Now, the characters of the Seven Dwarfs and the Evil Queen are actually more interesting and appealing, mainly because of both the personalities based on the dwarfs' atttributes and the Evil Queen's terrifying presence. They leave very indelible marks that will become staple elements for the Disney animated features yet to come. Compare the Evil Queen to Lady Treimaine, Maleficent, Cruella De Vil, Ursula, and Mother Gothel, and you might get the picture of where they came from. Compare the Seven Dwarfs to the later Disney comic relief characters (notably Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and the rest of the castle staff in Beauty and the Beast) and you see why.

The other main flaw has to do with the pacing of the movie. Running at 83 minutes, there are some padding to be made, which makes the film a little more episodic that a feature length film. The sequences involving cooking, cleaning, singing, and silly antics with the dwarfs and the animals either advances the plot or not. But in the grand scheme of things, it makes up for it with its emotional scope, like the frightening forest scene and Snow White's funeral, which served as somewhat bookends to the movie.

The reason for it being "the one that started it all" is that if Snow White didn't happen, then there will be no other animated features to come, but Snow White put Disney on top of the animation world and while it didn't inspire real competition back then unlike what now Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks Animation, (Formerly) Blue Sky Studios, Sony Pictures Animation, Illumination Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, and Paramount Animation are doing today, Disney is still #1 of the animation world and no one would ever forget it.

FINAL WORD:

While Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs may not have stand the test of time as its status said, it is a notable entry in terms of both entertainment values and historical significance that really makes it a true animated masterpiece.

Rating: 7.5/10

So, this has been going on in my head for a long while. It's the idea of what if Walt Disney did a series of Miss America animated shorts during the World War II era. It came to me after seeing the Fleischer cartoons of Superman and it got me thinking, how come Disney didn't take notice of it and wanting to do something similar but in his own way?

For those unaware of the origin of Miss America.

"Socially aware teenage heiress Madeline Joyce was born in Washington, D.C., and was the niece and ward of radio mogul James Bennet, who was sponsoring Professor Lawson, a scientist claiming to have gotten superpowers through a device that had been struck by lightning. Joyce, secretly tampering with the contraption during a thunderstorm that night, herself gained the ability to fly and great strength after lightning similarly struck, knocking her unconscious (she originally had x-ray vision, as well as other powers, but after her few early appearances they were retconned). The panicky scientist, seeing the apparently dead young woman, destroyed the device and then killed himself. Joyce survived to fight crime as the patriotically garbed Miss America, appearing regularly in Marvel Mystery Comics and All Winners Comics."

As for her powers, Madeline Joyce as Miss America possesses "The Strength of a Thousand Men", making her lift weights far heavier than any normal human would. Her superhuman durability makes her resistant to different forms of damage.

She has the ability to levitate herself through psionic means. By using her levitation ability in connection with carefully planned leaps, Miss America could use her power to fly. She could attain any height at which she could still breathe (approximately 20,000 feet).

Fatigue poisons accumulate much slower in Madeline Joyce's body than that of a normal human, giving her a heightened "vitality."

She also possesses something called "The Wisdom of the Ages". She doesn’t "know everything", but she can tap into the collective wisdom, experience, and insights of generations, from Greek philosophers, Renaissance thinkers, to Native American elders, and the Founding Fathers and Mothers.

I feel like Madeline Joyce as Miss America could've been Marvel's answer to Superman. I know that Captain America fits the description with the superhuman strength, fighting skills, boy scout attitude, but he's more grounded and more Batman when compared to Miss America’s feats of strength, superpowered flight, and collective wisdom.

Back to the question at hand, I think Walt Disney's Miss America animated shorts would've been more popular than the comics themselves, to the point of having the comics match the animated shorts they were based on. Miss America wouldn't fade to obscurity, she would've been just as popular as the rest of the Marvel heroes.

What do you guys think of the idea?

[redjoey1992]

All of these doesn't excuse all of Stolas' actions at all.

He could've divorced Stella at any time, he has so many options, but no, he had to wait until he starts having sex with Blitzo.

[redjoey1992]

"STOLAS (mostly) DID NOTHING WRONG!!!"

In reality, STOLAS DID EVERYTHING WRONG!!!

[redjoey1992]

I actually loved the concept of the theatrical Phineas and Ferb movie back in 2013. It would've been right for the Show.

What do you guys think?

[redjoey1992]

Now allow me to introduce to you all the main characters of my Wish rewrite.

ARMAAN

Armaan is a starry-eyed and optimistic 11-year-old boy from the kingdom of Rosas. He’s energetic and passionate, sometimes rushing into a situation without thinking about it first. Although he considers himself a fish out of water because he has lived in Rosas for almost a year, he’s brave and hopeful and always puts a positive spin on any situation. He deeply loves and cares for his family and friends, especially his paternal grandfather, Sabino.

Armaan was born in a small region in North Africa to a philosopher from Rosas named Tomás and a seamstress named Sakina. Growing up, Armaan would hear his father lecture him about the stars and their connection to all living things. He would also spend time reading books, drawing, and building things. When he was nine years old, his father passed away from an unknown disease. Soon after his father’s death, Armaan and Sakina moved to the Kingdom of Rosas, where they now live with Sabino. He then made friends with seven kids named Dawa (10), Gabriela (16), Simon (15), Hal (10), Safi (11), Bazeema (12), and Dario (10).

At first, he had a high opinion of Princess Celeste like everybody else in Rosas, but he is rather curious about how she has the power to grant wishes and how the people of Rosas have great admiration towards her. He entered a contest to meet Princess Celeste for only one day on her 18th birthday. He saw this because of Sabino’s wish to inspire people with his music, and his grandfather’s 100th birthday is also on the same day as Celeste’s 18th birthday/wishing ceremony. Armaan won, much to his excitement.

The hangout with Princess Celeste started great in a little brother/big sister way. Then Celeste takes Armaan to her chambers, where she shows him the collection of all the wishes from the people of Rosas. When Armaan saw Sabino’s wish, he asked Celeste to grant it. But she rejected his plea. Celeste also revealed a dark secret to him. She erased everybody’s memories of the citizens’ wishes, rendering them devoid of any ambition and making them rely on her and adore her, which causes tensions between her and Armaan, which escalates into Celeste passing on Sabino’s wish.

Later that night, Armaan feels like he disappointed Sabino on his 100th birthday. Sabino then comes in to cheer him up and shows him to a wishing tree he and Tomás used to go to and says that sometimes wishing on a star can inspire him not to give up hope, something that he gave to Tomás when he was young. Soon, Armaan takes his grandfather’s advice and makes a desperate wish upon a star, hoping everyone in Rosas can make their wishes come true.

His wish is highly tremendous and pure, and he is granted the star itself, which takes on the form of an anthropomorphic ball of light whose name will be called Star. This will lead Armaan on a noble adventure to free all the wishes from Celeste’s wicked clutches.

---

So, I wanted to make Armaan’s relationship with Sabino as the emotional core as well making Sabino show him the wishing tree just like how he showed his father before him (it's taken from a deleted scene). Based on a friend's suggestion, I would have Armaan be more curious about Princess Celeste, her power to grant wishes, and the people of Rosas' greater admiration towards her, making Celeste’s villainous reveal more shocking. I based Armaan’s character design off of Ravi Cabot-Conyers (my ideal voice actor for him), Mickey Mouse from The Sorceror's Apprentice segment from Fantasia, Pinocchio, and Aladdin. There's also a little bit of Antonio from Encanto.

PRINCESS CELESTE

Princess Celeste is the most beautiful, charismatic, powerful, and beloved sorceress princess of Rosas and the only daughter of Queen Amaya. From the day she was born, she was enchanted to be the most beautiful, so beautiful that there's no other women on Earth who are like her, with long hair as golden as the sun, the fairest of skin, big beautiful eyes, and lips as red as the rose. This can make her not only look beautiful, but can have her sing beautifully, and be beloved by all, but she was born with magical powers. As the princess grows up, she's been learning and mastering all kinds of magic and sorcery and studying astrology and alchemy. But her one extraordinary magic power is that she can grant the wishes of her subjects. She has that ability because, unbeknownst to everyone, including herself, Celeste is born a half-human/half-star hybrid. She considers her magic superior to all others to the point where she lets the power go to her head, leading her to develop a giant, vain, self-absorbed ego.

One day, people forget what they want or desire. Then, on her 15th birthday, Princess Celeste declares that she will be willing to help her people by announcing a ceremonial event where she'll grant only one wish every year on her birthday.

Unbeknownst to the people, including her mother, Celeste, in spite of her beauty, is wicked, selfish, devious, callous, narcissistic, and sociopathic. She cast a powerful and dangerous spell that will steal the memories of her people’s wishes and keep them sealed and locked away in her study room forever. Celeste can only grant wishes that would benefit her and keep the rest locked up, especially those that she deems a threat to her. She created the wish-granting ceremony every year on her birthday to maintain her power, beauty, and influence and have people feed her ego. She learned that spell from a book containing forbidden magic, which she uses as a contingency in case something threatens her power.

Despite her potent magic and enchanting appearance, Princess Celeste harbors an intense jealousy and resentment towards her mother, Queen Amaya, who is more humble and caring to the people of Rosas, leaving Celeste to feel overshadowed by her and will do anything to make herself the center of attention.

On her 18th birthday, she can only invite one person to spend one day with her so she can grant one special wish for the winner. When an 11-year-old boy named Armaan was declared the winner, things went wonderfully in a little brother/big sister way. Then she showed him the millions of wishes in her study room. Armaan discovers his grandfather's wish to inspire people to play the guitar. Once he tells her about her grandfather's wish, she assumes that it might be dangerous, although Sabino is mainly kind and harmless.

Then Armaan starts questioning why Celeste only grants one wish while many others will never for another year instead of being given back so the people who initially wished them could achieve them themselves. Celeste tells him that they can't do it on their own because it's unachievable, and they come to her because she's the only one who can grant the wishes to come true, so they don't have to worry about doing it on their own. Armaan is shocked and surprised by how she did it so people would forget the best memories about themselves, with an enraged Celeste declaring that she's the only one who decides what the people deserve. So, she refused to grant Sabino's wish at the wishing ceremony, leaving Armaan crushed and heartbroken.

Later that night, Armaan wished on a star for help, and the star, revealed to be a little, exciting, boundless ball of energy, answered. Celeste saw the light it caused and believed that someone had threatened her power. All this would lead to the events of her downward spiral, building up to her inevitable defeat.

---

My idea for Princess Celeste is to create an evil Disney Princess, which is something that Disney has never done before, so having a Disney Princess be the main villain sounds more refreshing. Plus, it would make more sense for her to grant only one wish a year every year on her birthday so she can have the people of Rosas feed her ego. I based Princess Celeste's character design off of Chloë Grace Moretz (my ideal voice actor for her), Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, and King Magnifico. Some of her character was inspired by Princess Fiorimonde from the fairy tale "The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde" and it's a very awesome read. You guys really need to check it out.

STAR

Star's role will probably remain the same as is in the original movie.

More characters coming soon.

[redjoey1992]

Now about the "controversy" revolving around the ending of the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake that has gotten people pissed off. To avoid any spoiler alert, don't read any further. Read at your own risk.

SPOILER ALERT: In the original movie, Nani, Lilo, and Stitch get to stay together as well as now including David, Cobra Bubbles, Jumba, and Pleakley into their o'hana along with now being protected by the United Galactic Federation.

In the remake however, The film ends with Nani going off to college to study marine biology, leaving Lilo and Stitch in the hands of their neighbors David and Tutu, along with Cobra Bubbles and Pleakley now being a part of their o'hana.

Believe me, this is the one that has gotten a lot of people angry because the message of both movies is "O'hana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten" and people said that the remake's ending throws away the message with Nani going off to college, leaving Lilo behind to be handed to the state government. First off, that's not what happened. Nani does consider going to study marine biology, but she chooses to stay to protect Lilo. However, protecting Lilo is way too stressful for her, especially with Stitch now being added to her set of problems.

Earlier on, TuTu and Lilo did tell her that it was okay for her to go to college, and Mrs. Keoka, the new social worker in the remake, gave her a week to prove that she's a worthy guardian for Lilo. By the time when Lilo and Stitch nearly drowned and recovered, Mrs. Keoka told her that the government would pay for the health insurance if she relinquished her guardianship and she reluctantly agreed. Even in the original movie, Nani agreed to give up her guardianship with Lilo.

By the end of the movie, Nani finally gets to go to college and study biology, but if you watch the mid-credits. Nani is still able to contact Lilo and Stitch and she can visit them anytime via Jumba's teleportation gun. So basically, Nani DIDN'T leave behind or forgot Lilo at all.

I can relate to Nani in both movies. When my parents left the house, they made me my older brother's babysitter because they were too afraid to give him up, and it was very stressful for both sides. Now I'm living on my own, they still need me to watch Doug, but not all the time as before.

So if you people think that the remake Nani is very selfish for going to college and leaving Lilo behind to the state, you might need to watch it again because there are some details you missed, and another thing, O'hana doesn't need to be about blood relatives, it can be friends, neighbors, or a whole community. The remake is expanding on the heart of O'hana meaning that nobody gets left behind or forgotten. I'm surprised that a lot of people who grew up on the original would be angry at the remake's ending because of one person wanting to have her own life outside of her family. I saw the original growing up, and I think that the remake not only did the theme right, but also expanded on it. I swear the people who hated the ending may not have been bothered to watch the movie at all. Get outside, touch some grass, and smell some roses once in a while.

My main takeaway is that you shouldn't always judge a book by its cover, you need to read the contents completely to get a better understanding. Hell, I'm not a fan of the live-action remakes either, but you guys need to experience them first so you can make your judgment rather than take somebody else's. And that's my thought on the whole "controversial" ending of the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake.

Families don't always have to stay together all the time.

[redjoey1992]

If I were in charge of Hazbin Hotel, I would've just made Vox the main villain of Season One, maybe he can spread some misinformation about the Hotel, which can make business worse for Charlie and her friends. It would've made sense to why nobody has come to the hotel.

"I’m sorry, I just don’t buy Vox as a credible threat, and he shouldn’t have been the villain of season two. He would’ve been a great season one villain, but no, he’s not. My main problem is that the villains of season one were Adam and all of heaven. Now that Heaven’s defeated and Lucifer is at the hotel, what can Vox even do? He’s an overlord against the KING AND PRINCESS OF HELL. Nothing he can do will amount to anything. Plus, Valentino mentioning that Alastor “almost beat him that one time”, Alastor saying “he’d be powerless without the other Vee’s”, and Vox getting defeated and humiliated in his own villain song just adds onto the narrative that Vox is pathetic and not as strong as he says he is. With that being the case, what could he do that would match or be stronger than HEAVEN? Or even LUCIFER? Wasted villain in my opinion, he could’ve been a fantastic villain if he weren’t having to follow up Adam and Heaven. Oh well."

So metaphorically, Viv sold her soul to the devil, which is Amazon, in order to get both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss made. Sums it up right.

"As someone who was all for calling Helluva indie even with the outsourcing there is no way you can consider it indie now that Amazon is funding it. It's not even like Digital Circus on Netflix either, the episodes premiere on Prime a month before they do on Youtube from now on. So no this show does not count as indie anymore."

What Stella should've been in the series proper. Hell, I would've just given her Andrealphus's role in Mastermind and Sinsmas. Have her be the Mastermind in the plot. Now, that would've improved my viewing of the show a little bit.

Peak characterization of Stella I’d hope S3 goes with

[redjoey1992]

The more I remember Season 2 of Helluva Boss, the more I realized that the whole season has done nothing but have Blitzo be gaslit and talked down on for not admitting his feelings for Stolas and how he hunted him, when in the previous season, Blitzo was right to push Stolas away because he was being a creep and an imp racist. It makes me feel even more sorry for Blitzo, and it makes me feel even more disgusted with Stolas for his actions.
