CE Characters Favorite Disney Movies

Steve Rogers:

Snow White. It was released on December 21 1937, which would make Steve 19 years old.

Pinocchio. It was released on February 23, 1940. Steve would be 21 years old.

Dumbo. It was released on October 23, 1941, which would make Steve 23 years old, and he wouldn't be in the army at that point. Pearl Harbor occurred six weeks after that, which got the US in World War II.

Ransom Drysdale:

Oliver and Company. Released on November 18, 1988. This is a modern retelling of Oliver Twist. The characters in the film are named after the characters in the book, or the character names have a variation of one of the characters, but only go by the last name.

He relates well to Oliver. In fact, Oliver Twist is his favorite book. Oliver and Company was popular with 1980's kids. I grew up in the 1980's and 1990's and Disney was going through a huge revival during that time.

The Aristocats. Released on December 24, 1970. Ransom also relates well to this. Remember, Harlan leaves everything to Marta. In the movie, the Duchess leaves everything to her three cats. Ransom relates well to this.

Colin Shea

Camp Rock. Released on the Disney Channel on June 20, 2008. It's only fitting for Colin.

101 Dalmatians. Released on January 25, 1961. Another movie that's fitting for Colin, given that one of the characters is a song writer.

Andy Barber

Toy Story. Released on November 22, 1995. This was the first movie under Disney/Pixar. A113 is referenced throughout the movie. It's the classroom at the California Institute of the Arts that many of the animators at Pixar studied in. Andy loves this one, even though it hurts. This was Jacob's favorite movie. Yet, Andy still has a soft spot for it. Now, Joy and Penelope love, it, too.

Beauty and the Beast. Released on November 22, 1991. This is Joy's favorite movie, and Belle is Joy's favorite Disney princess.

Winnie the Pooh. Released on March 11, 1977. This is Penelope's favorite movie.

Jake Jensen:

Toy Story. Released on November 22, 1995. Jake would very much like this one, because he's a kid at heart.

Wreck-It Ralph. Released on November 2, 2012. With Jake being a video game nerd, he would very much love this. He's an old-school video game nerd.

Ralph Breaks the Internet. Released on November 21, 2018. Jake works in Comm and Tech when he's with the Losers. When he's NOT with the Losers, he's an IT. So, Jake liking Ralph Breaks the Internet makes sense.

Johnny Storm

The Incredibles. Released on October 24, 2004. Johnny and his sister, Susan, are also superheroes, so this makes sense. Jake loves it, too.

The Incredibles 2. Released on June 15, 2018. Johnny and Jake would very much like this. You like it, too. As stated above, with Johnny and his sister being superheroes, it makes sense that he would love a movie and it's sequel that's about a family of superheroes.

[publicdomaindisabledcharacters]

This is the pinned post.

This blog will be used for posting public domain disabled characters, meaning they belong to no one, and everyone, because they are either purposefully created as public domain, or old enough that their copyright has expired. (IE: Dracula, Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Winnie the Pooh, ect)

You can write about these characters, draw them, make movies, publish books, animations, music, literally anything you can think of. They belong to everyone. The only thing you can't do with them is claim you created them if you didn't, or restrict others from using the original character. (IE: Just because you write a new book about Sherlock Holmes does not mean you get to tell everyone they're not allowed to write about Sherlock Holmes anymore. That's not how this works)

Some of the characters posted to this blog will be from public domain books or movies as I find them, but probably most of them will be created explicitly to be public domain right from the start.

Even if the character wasn't originally disabled, a version of them that is can be posted here. Public domain means we get to do anything we want, including giving ourselves more representation!

This blog is safe for all Queer people, including trans and nonbinary people, including those who don't medically transition, and use gendernonconforming pronouns, lesbians of all kind, including Mspec and multigender and nonbinary lesbians, and all aspec people, including aroace people who are nonpartnering, and if you don't like that, that's just too gods damned fucking bad. Die mad about it.

You may submit character descriptions, citing the public domain source if there is one, or if they're your own original creations, as long as you understand that by submitting them here, you are giving everyone (including people you don't like) the right to use them in any way they want. You can't put restrictions on public domain creations, otherwise they're not public domain anymore.

If you don't want anyone to be able to use your characters for anything they want, do not submit them here. Post them to your own blog like you normally would.

All images posted to this blog will be given image descriptions, so if you are submitting art, please write one yourself, or be resigned to the fact that posting it will have to wait until I can write one for you.

Art is not necessary for submitting a character if you don't want to write an image description, it can just be a detailed text description.

I will try to link all books referenced from here so you can find them on Project Gutenberg.

Art from picrews is not allowed to be submitted unless you created the picrew yourself.

All public domain characters will be tagged with their name, source if applicable, and "public domain disabled characters" as both all one word and normally so it's easy to find.

"Disabled" means all disabilities, including physical disabilities of all kinds, not just things like ADHD / autism. (Looking at specific authors with this one, some of these people very clearly love writing neurodivergent characters but hate the thought of physically disabled people existing)

It also includes disabilities that can only exist in worlds with magic.

Characters do not have to be human.

Week 8 Research log

this sub topic was a little more difficult than the previous ones as I had taken it on a literal aspect. my idea of technological development was how different the book printing methods were back in the 1920′s compared to modern printing and how much of an impact that has made on Winnie-The-Pooh books. as well as how far technology has gone to develop from being limited to only pen and paper, to the devices and software's we use now (computers, tablets, apple) Harvard referencing is a little difficult for me as I have never actually Harvard referenced before, so as I go along im beginning to work my way through it. 

Technological

A.A.Milne, (1924), original first edition book, When we were very young, illustrated by E.H.Shepard

Since the release of the first book “when we were very young” Winnie the Pooh has constantly developed. Even more so since Disney had acquired the rights to Winnie-the-Pooh in 1961, after the death of A.A.Milne in 1966, and significantly so in the recent releases of the movies “Christopher Robin” and “Goodbye Christopher robin”

 Printing the books 

Back in the 1920’s, book printing was much different to the methods we use now. As mentioned in (Laws, 2017) The text would be printed using a ‘Forne’ where each letter and character is a separate piece. Whereas for images, a line block would be used. This method of printing allowed Shepard’s illustrations to be placed within the text, thus allowing each page to become exciting and appealable. It was especially an effective method of producing for illustrators like Shepard, who often made pen and ink line drawings.

It was years after (in 1932) where Shepard had introduced new water coloured Winnie-The-Pooh illustrations to the books, which was the first-time colour was brought to the world and readers of Winnie-The-Pooh, which only made the literature that more enticing.

As of now, with Winnies new and modernised designs, most printing is done digitally and technologically, which highly boosts Winnies production. Printing now requires a lot less physical labour and can easily be done through a computer/programing.  

 Traditional to digital 

Compared to now, illustrating in the 1920s meant was more traditional than anything, although it truly was a seminal time, and it clearly didn’t stop them. As printed illustrations were made through etchings, engravings and stamps. E.H.Shepard at the time was limited to only traditional, as he commonly used watercolours, pencil sketching’s and ink to produce his illustrations, but incredibly so it was the traditional work that made the illustrations so alluring by making it his own. He worked by employing a rich variety of marks in his pencil sketches through zigzags and squiggles.  

Whereas nowadays, more accessible forms of art have been developed and Winnie has followed on that journey along with us. Since Walt Disney was Granted character Rights in 1961 (Laws, 2017) they have continued on A.A.Milne and E.H.Shepard’s legacy.  Although while even Disney’s profound style cannot compare to aesthetics of Shepard’s traditional style, it’s fair to say that Winnie going digital truly is something special. But in the end pixels do behave different to graphite. While the books were one great thing, following onto animation and digital media allowed Winnie and his friends to truly come to life and become even more profound. Because for the first time, rather than just a picture on a page were given the opportunity to really get to visualise the characters and their world.

Cult Horror Game Devotion Will Not Be Re-Released After Joke About Chinese President

New Post has been published on https://gamerszone.tn/cult-horror-game-devotion-will-not-be-re-released-after-joke-about-chinese-president/

Cult Horror Game Devotion Will Not Be Re-Released After Joke About Chinese President

Taiwanese game developer Red Candle Games has issued a new statement on the status of its horror game, Devotion, which was pulled from Steam in February over a Winnie the -Pooh joke. And it appears the developers will not be re-releasing the game.In its new statement, Red Candle confirmed it will not be putting Devotion back up for sale, following controversy about an included joke that referenced Chinese president Xi Jinping and Pooh together.

“For the past four months, the art asset incident related to ‘Devotion’ has caused immeasurable harm to Red Candle Games and our partner. We would like to offer our most sincere apology to all impacted teams and personnel,” the Red Candle Games team writes in a public Twitter statement.

And although Red Candle says it’s still in “business mediations” the Red Candle co-founders, “have reached a unanimous decision to not re-release ‘Devotion’ in the near term, including but not limited to obtaining profit from sales, revision, IP authorization, etc. to prevent unnecessary misconception.”

The tweet from Red Candle Games is the first public statement in four months since Devotion was pulled from Steam. At the time of the initial controversy Red Candle Games told players the team was in the process of negotiating Devotion’s return to Steam. But the developers stayed mostly silent after the controversy first broke. Red Candle Games also pulled all of its Devotion trailers from its YouTube channel.

There were also reports from Iain Garner, a Taiwan-based games publisher, that Devotion’s Chinese publishing partner, Indievent, lost its business license since the Devotion controversy. But it’s unclear if that incident is related to Red Candle’s game being pulled from Steam.

Unfortunately, anyone looking to play Devotion again soon may have to wait awhile, if not indefinitely.

Why Red Candle Games Pulled the Critically Acclaimed Horror Game Devotion from Steam

Red Candle Games rose to prominence after the release of its 2017 horror game Detention. Detention takes place in the 1960s during the White Terror period, where political dissidents in Taiwan were suppressed. Critics praised Detention’s scares and originality, and IGN named it one of the best horror games of 2017. Detention was also adapted into a live-action horror movie set to be released later this year.

Red Candle Games followed up Detention two years later with Devotion, which the studio released on Steam back in February 2019. Reviewers again praised Red Candle’s second game, including IGN Japan which scored it a 9.8 out of 10.

But a week later Devotion was pulled from Steam following a review bombing campaign led by Chinese citizens. The review bombing resulted from the inclusion of an art asset with a reference likening Chinese President Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh in the launch version of Devotion.

The reference to Pooh was found in a poster inside the game, which when interacted with, would flash the words ‘Xi Jinping the Winnie the Pooh moron’ in Chinese. The reference would not be easily recognizable to anyone who can’t read Chinese, so the controversy was almost exclusive to Chinese-speaking territories.

When it was discovered, however, the subsequent backlash from players caused a chain of events that led to Devotion getting pulled from Steam less than a week after its release.

Much ado about Pooh

Winnie the Pooh has become something of a taboo subject on the Chinese internet. Since Xi became the leader of China in 2012, internet users would use images of the cartoon bear as a way to lightly joke about the president. Pooh was used as a physical comparison to Xi, but the meme became mainstream and subsequently censored on Chinese internet services, including social media platforms like Weibo.

The censorship of Pooh in China has been so widespread that the country denied the release of the Disney live-action film Christopher Robin. And in video games, Chinese game websites went so far as to censor Pooh out of images for Kingdom Hearts 3. As far as the Chinese internet goes, Winnie the Pooh is a serious red flag.

The Internet’s Response to Red Candle’s Apology

There’s been an outpour of support for Red Candle Games since its new statement went live earlier today — especially since many see the apology as unnecessary. Prominent video game developers have come out to defend Red Candle Games and to protest its continued absence from Steam.

“This is hard to read. What happened wasn’t fair to the studio and many completely innocent people suffer because of it,” one game developer on Twitter wrote in response to Red Candle’s tweet.

“Reminder to the gamers who promise to “rise up”: this is what actual censorship looks like,” Ubisoft Monetreal programming team lead Gavin Young wrote.

“As regretful as the incident was, we have to bear its full consequence,” Red Candle Games writes. In the meantime, the developer asks commenters to not harass any of its publishing partners and reiterated that the studio bears the full responsibility for the controversy. However, this is the latest incident to show how a seemingly innocuous internet meme in China can have dramatic consequences. The historic tensions between Taiwan and China no doubt also intensified the gravity of this controversy.

We reached out to Red Candle Games asking for further details about its ongoing business mediations and whether the studio has seen the outpouring of support from developers and fans.
