there’s literally a track called cry okay? and it lives up to it’s full potential by making me get all weepy. but in like, a happy way. this movie is so lovely and so is the music!

Mark Mancina, Prelude to the sea, The Sea Beast OST, 2022 

[redeyeflyguy]

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! It was sad to hear a few days ago that legendary vocalist Tina Turner has passed away leaving quite the legacy behind. Still, I prefer to touch on a person’s work more than the person themselves most of the time and Mrs. Turner gave me a lot to choose from. Proud Mary, I Don’t Want To Lose You, What’s Love Got To Do With It. So many bangers. However, the one I’m choosing to highlight is one you probably don’t expect: Great Spirits. The first song in the 2002 Walt Disney animated movie, Brother Bear, a movie I watched a lot as a kid and one of two Disney movies where Phil Collins did the soundtrack. But Phil didn’t sing the version in the film. That was all Tina and she brought so much heart and soul to a song that not only portrays the themes central to the movie, not only does it give a brief but insightful look into the culture the movie portrays, not only gives off an overwhelming sense of majesty about it but it’s super catchy as well. If that doesn’t scream wonderful then I have absolutely no idea what to tell you. Rest in peace, Tina Turner. Your status as the Queen of Rock and Roll was well deserved.

>lin-manuel miranda isn't coming back for Moana 2

I'm losing even more hope in this movie guys. I've never heard of Barlow and Bear until just now. they were the ones who made the "unofficial Bridgerton musical" and got sued over it. but it did win a grammy, so....it can't be too bad, right...?

At least Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina are back.

oh, and the movie isn't even directed by Clements and Musker. yeah this is def giving "b-team sequel that was intended for disney+ but got moved to theaters"

[ourstaturestouchtheskies]

Planes Fire and Rescue Thoughts

I'm really late to the punch on both Planes movies, and only recently watched them.

I was really surprised at how good Planes: Fire and Rescue was. Like it was a LOT better than I was expecting.

I had only two issues:

Dipper. WTF did they have to make her creep on Dusty like that. Reminds me of some of my old boyfriends...

I know they had to do it since they were planning to do a third movie...but I'm sorta upset that Maru managed to rebuild Dusty's gearbox "better than new." Like, I think it would have been more poignant to have Maru partially fix it, like enough that Dusty could fly and fight fires...but not much more than that lest it break, again. It would have been a great message about how people with disabilities can still do amazing things while disabled.

I dunno...I'm kinda tipsy rn. But the ending just felt sorta hollow IMO...

Things I loved about it:

The cinematography was so much better than the first movie. And the score by Mark Mancina! WOOOO! So. Freaking. Good.

They did a fuck ton of research about wildfire fighting crews and it shows.

MAYDAY. And the fact that he knows Sarge is a neat nod to the Cars movies.

MUIR Favorite background "pony." Just...why doesn't he talk? Is he mute? Are older trains mute? Like he was gonna burn to death in a fire and he just whistled sadly...

Cad Spinner. I fucking love him. Great antagonist right up there with Chick, Miles and Sterling. He's a dick...but he's fun to watch.

The whole flying to Piston Peak scene. It reminds me of my time in college doing field work out in the Sierra Nevadas....
