Ranking 50 Disney Dogs pt2

Ranking all (ish) the dogs from Disney according to a very scientific process averaging scores on Design (how much I like the character design) Breed Alignment (how much they look like the breed they’re going for.. or just how much like a dog), Personality (how I much I like them as a character) and if applicable , voice acting (how much I like the vocal performance. [Disney Animation theatrical releases only-- no Pixar, no straight to home video, no partially live action] Link to part 1 What you’ve been waiting for! Or what you skipped to. The top dogs! 

25. Pluto THE Disney dog! Unfairly discriminated against by his peers of core disney cast! 

24. Boris the borzoi- Lady and the Tramp He’s a borzoi! Where else are you gonna find an animated borzoi?! 

23. Colonel- One Hundred and One Dalmatians  Did you know in the sequel book Sgt Tibbs (or his book equivalent cat) is declared an “honorary dog” by Sirius the Dog Star? So you can count him as tied for this place

22. Peg- The Lady and the Tramp A design with SO MUCH personality. 

21. Little Brother- Mulan He’s just so DIFFERENT looking from all these other dogs. I suspect that--like the horses in this movie-- he’s based off a particular art style and that’s why he doesn’t quite fit with anything else even within his own movie. 

20. Perdita- One Hundred and One Dalmatians  I was going to give you her Disney Wiki picture and say something about she’s the closest thing Disney has to a 50s housewife, but instead have this super ominous Perdita statue to rule over you. Bow to your Supreme Leader Perdita, for she is housewife no longer!

19. Toby- The Great Mouse Detective The quintessential Good Boy

18. Francis- Oliver and Company He’s Shakespearean and we love that. 

17. Napoleon and Lafayette- The Aristocats  I ranked them separately. Scored them differently in various categories. And they came out to exactly the same score. Inseparable. A dynamic duo. Batman and Robin who? These are the real crimefighters. 

16.  Goofy Is Goofy identifiable as a dog if you aren’t told that he is one? I don’t know about that. But he’s GOOFY. 

15. Pongo- One Hundred and One Dalmatians Okay I promise this is the last 101 Dalmatians character. 

14. Max- The Little Mermaid He’s what we call the breeder’s standard. 

13. Chief- The Fox and the Hound Am I trying to convince you to overlook certain aspects of Chief by choosing this particular picture? Who can say. 

12. Roscoe and DeSoto- Oliver and Company I love a good villain. And Dobermans. 

11. Tito-Oliver and Company Played and drawn with every bit of manic energy that a chihuahua needs

11. (Tie) Georgette- Oliver and Company “Perfect Isn’t Easy�� was doing “Fabulous” long before Sharpay Evans. 

10. Jock- Lady and the Tramp A dog who suffers no fools

9. Bolt- Bolt His biggest flaw is that John Travolta was NOT a good casting choice. Other than that he’s adorable. 

8. Nana- Peter Pan This movie may be problematic but Nana certainly isn’t. 

7. Rita- Oliver and Company This dog is wearing eye shadow. And also “Streets of Gold” is criminally underrated. 

6. Lady- Lady and the Tramp I don’t really have much to say. She’s cute. It’s a good design. She’s a good character. 

5. Trusty- Lady and the Tramp Look at that action shot. His hero moment. 

4. Tramp- Lady and the Tramp I originally had Tramp 7th and Rita 4th... did I make a mistake switching them? Tramp doesn’t sing. Tramp isn’t wearing eye shadow. But Rita doesn’t have a song about her either...

3. Stitch- Lilo and Stitch He used to be a collie before he got ran over

2. Copper- The Fox and the Hound “When you’re the best of friends *muffled sobbing* having so much fun together *louder sobbing*” 

1. Dodger- Oliver and Company He sings the best Disney song. He’s voiced by Billy Joel. He’s got a celebrity endorsement: Chris Evans named his dog after Dodger. Easily the best Disney dog. 

“But Cogentranting” you say, “ you put two dogs each for number 11 and number 17, that means there are fifty-TWO dogs on this list. The title’s a lie” and I say WRONG SIr. Clearly number 3 and number 46 (Stitch and Obby) are NOT dogs at all. So there are Fifty! And you say, “okay but there are multiple dogs for both 50 and 49.” I have no answer for this. I hang my head and shame and bid you adieu.

A Few Words About 1978 As a Whole

1978 is a year that I find really underrated when looking back at the late seventies, especially when looking back at disco's heyday. 1977 was when the genre had its big mainstream explosion and took the world by storm. 1979 only seems to become interesting to people when they want to talk about the backlash and Disco Demolition Night. Nobody really seems to want to explore that sweet spot in the middle, which is 1978. It's a fun year and it might as well be called the disco year, mostly because that's pretty much the only music getting really big and the only music record companies wanted to go all in on. If you're asking yourself why there's so much disco on this one, it's because that's what most of this year end list is! We're gonna talk about it a little more in-depth below because, much like the playlist made to explore 1981, this one also follows the idea of organizing songs into specific segments. I think it makes it more interesting than just me throwing forty songs out there and it's fun to pick the best songs and figure out what they all have in common with each other (if anything). Also, it's forty songs this time instead of thirty because a) It was honestly kinda hard to make cuts because I really enjoy a lot of this year and b) I think it would be funnier if I'm never consistent with the number of songs included in these.

So, without further ado, let's talk about some of the segments you'll find here!

Segment #1: The Reign of the Brothers Gibb

You guys ever see the movie Saturday Night Fever? If you haven't, you've definitely heard the music from it. That movie not only skyrocketed the career of the Bee Gees (who were only somewhat successful before becoming disco kings) but the soundtrack to that movie did NUMBERS (it was the best selling album in history before Thriller came along in '82) and suddenly, everybody wanted a piece of that pie. Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb were enjoying a chart run and a level of success that was unseen in America since the Beatles landed in '64. They were so successful and so powerful, their baby brother Andy Gibb basically scored a successful solo career simply by being related to them.

Of the one-hundred songs on the year end list, eight of them were a hit that one of the Bee Gees or Andy Gibb were responsible for. I normally don't want to include numerous songs from one artist because I think it making the playlist stale, but if you're gonna explore what's going on in 1978, it's required to know that these dudes were everywhere. They're not called "The Disco Kings" for nothing. Every single one of these songs was written by them and features them as performers in some way (except "If I Can't Have You." That was written by the Gibbs, but none of them are on it). So if you're not a Bee Gees fan at all, 1978 would've been a nightmare for you!

Tracks in This Segment:

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Shadow Dancin' - Andy Gibb

Night Fever - Bee Gees

If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman

How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees

Emotion - Samantha Sang

Grease - Frankie Valli

Segment #2: You're the One That I Want (to Duet With)

After that first segment, we're leaving the disco behind (but don't get too comfy, it'll be back with a vengeance) and we're gonna enjoy some nice duets that got big during the year. Like Saturday Night Fever, Grease was a movie soundtrack that did super well (John Travolta had a knack for attaching himself to movie soundtracks that sell really well) so that's represented here. "Summer Nights" was on the list, but I chose "You're the One That I Want" because it's more well known, more beloved, and it just feels like a song that works better as something you could listen to divorced from the movie it's from.

After John Travolta gets done ogling at Olivia Newton-John's skin-tight leather pants, Roberta Flack teams up with Donny Hathaway to deliver one of the most beautiful love songs of the entire decade with "The Closer I Get To You." Flack and Hathaway were always a fantastic duet duo with perfect chemistry, but this is hands-down the best song that partnership ever birthed. There's admittedly a bit of sadness knowing that Donny would sadly take his own life less than a year after this became a hit, but what he left behind with this is another example of how fantastic he was and how he could make Roberta even better than she already was.

On a cheerier note, Johnny Mathis finally scored a #1 hit on Billboard (which hadn't happened since "Chances Are" hit it big in 1957) and his friend Deniece Williams joined him on that ride. They offer a breakup song as a duet, but it's a really cute and mature one and much like Flack and Hathaway, they make a good team.

Tracks in This Segment:

You're the One That I Want - John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John

The Closer I Get to You - Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams

Segment #3: I Can't Believe It's NOT Disco: The Pop and Rock Outliers of 1978

This is one grouping where the common thread became made up entirely of the pop artists and rock bands that were living in their own worlds and making music that was going against a lot of what was happening during the year. Wings and Electric Light Orchestra offer Beatlesque pop (fitting, because Wings is led by former Beatle Paul McCartney and ELO is led by Beatles fanboy Jeff Lynne). We've got some neat and obscure one-hit-wonders with Chris Rea and Toby Beau, who both offer songs that feel like they'd make great additions to a Star-Lord/Guardians of the Galaxy fan's mixtape cassette someday. Robert Palmer is giving us his best white man soul singer cool guy vibes with "Every Kinda People" and the Little River Band (the other Australians that invaded the U.S. after the Bee Gees took up residence) goes walking through the park, dancing in the dark, and "Reminiscing" about the era of the big bands with Glenn Miller references.

But it wouldn't truly be the seventies if the dad rock wasn't represented in some way and luckily for us, some of the dad rock that got big was pretty damn good. Jackson Browne (or, The Thinking Man's Bob Seger) had his best song get big in 1978, Lynyrd Skynyrd scored a hit with "What's Your Name" in the wake of the terrible tragedy of the plane crash that took the lives of three members (off an album that was, unfortunately, called Street Survivors). Foreigner got Hot Blooded and scored big, and Styx took us to the sky with the rock masterpiece "Come Sail Away."

As we've talked about before, disco and the Brothers Gibb had the charts in a chokehold, but that doesn't mean that was all that was getting big. There's some good stuff in this segment. Rock on, dudes.

Tracks in This Segment:

With a Little Luck - Wings

Sweet Talkin' Woman - Electric Light Orchestra

Fool (If You Think It's Over) - Chris Rea

My Angel Baby - Toby Beau

Every Kinda People - Robert Palmer

Reminiscining - Little River Band

Running on Empty - Jackson Browne

What's Your Name - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hot Blooded - Foreigner

Come Sail Away - Styx

Segment #4: Where in the Hell is Fleetwood Mac???

This segment is a short one, only two songs, but it still reveals something: Fleetwood Mac isn't here. But... it's the late seventies! Where the hell are they on this list!?!

The answer is that for most of the year, they're in a studio in California burning Warner Bros. Records' cash because Lindsey Buckingham keeps coming up with wacky experiments and the interpersonal drama between the band is causing their follow-up to Rumours to take way longer than Warner Bros. would like (and expected).

However, that doesn't mean the members all completely disappeared. These two songs are representatives of where Fleetwood Mac were spending some of their time during the drought between albums. Lindsey and Christine McVie lend their services to former Mac singer/guitarist Bob Welch, who records a new version of an old FM tune from 1972 that didn't get big the first time. Lindsey plays guitar on it and Christine is on backing vocals (you'll hear them, don't worry). Meanwhile, Walter Egan would like some background vocalists for a song he's doing that's gonna be a decent hit and employs the help of Lindsey and Stevie Nicks to make it happen (they're easy to pick out). The only other place where Stevie shows up during 1978 is on Kenny Loggins' hit "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" (which was cut because I find that song boring and those two are a bad pairing. I think she should do something with that Tom Petty guy instead). These two are pretty good cuts and I think they deserve their place here.

Tracks in This Segment:

Sentimental Lady - Bob Welch

Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan

Segment #5: Melancholy Girls and Country-Pop Crossovers

We gave the dad rock its moment in the sun, but now it's time to turn the lights down... this one's for the ladies.

Every now and again, country musicians burst through the Nashville bubble and cross over into the mainstream chart waters. 1978 saw Dolly Parton's big pop move with the title track from her album Here You Come Again and country singer Crystal Gayle crossed over with "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." Neither hit betrays the strengths of either of these women and in the case of Dolly, Here You Come Again is basically the seventies version of what Kacey Musgraves pulled off with Golden Hour (a country singer dabbling in the pop music world and finding she's good at it).

When I was making choices for this list, I was surprised to see how much country-pop was present on the list. A song from Grease appears again with "Hopelessly Devoted to You," a song John Farrar wrote exclusively for Olivia Newton-John for the movie and you can tell because it's a hell of a lot more country-tinged than any other song in Grease. Even Linda Ronstadt played with country elements when she scored a hit by turning Roy Orbison's 1963 hit "Blue Bayou," which is such an incredible version of the song, borderline definitive. Linda's so fucking good and this song is one of many examples of what she could do with a song.

The only one of these songs not playing with any country elements is "You Belong to Me," a good hit from one of Carly Simon's best albums as well as the second time she nailed her own version of a Michael McDonald-penned Doobie Brothers song (the other one was "It Keeps You Runnin'" from 1976). You can hear the disco elements creep in with the beat, the strings near the end of the song, and the saxophone solo. It's incorporating disco elements into things but without losing what makes Carly a great singer-songwriter. This is a fun segment.

Tracks in This Segment:

Here You Come Again - Dolly Parton

Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

You Belong to Me - Carly Simon

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Segment #6: New York, New York

One thread I found in my picks as well as in general is that most of the really big California bands disappeared for 1978. The Doobie Brothers don't release the Minute by Minute album until December, so '79 is their year. The Eagles are taking a million years to make The Long Run because they can't fucking stand each other and we already covered where Fleetwood Mac is. So, 1978 is a year where the east coast is thriving, particularly in New York. This segment features either native New Yorkers (Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Chuck Mangione, Barry Manilow, the ladies of Odyssey) or by Broadway performers (applies only to Meat Loaf).

George Benson (who is from Pittsburgh, PA, not New York) breathes new life into "On Broadway," Steely Dan score a strange hit about the losers in the world with "Deacon Blues," Piano Man Billy Joel serenades us with "Just the Way You Are," and Meat Loaf delivers a moving ballad that only a theatre kid on Earth could deliver with "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."

Chuck Mangione and Barry Manilow deserve special mention as the hits they're providing here still ooze their style, but, once again, you can hear disco creeping in like a disease on top of capturing tropical sounds. "Feels So Good" has shades of it throughout. It lays the ground work for what Herb Alpert would see success with a year later in "Rise." The disco elements are more obvious with Barry, who found success with the greatest song of his career. There's a lot of jokes about "Copacabana" and about Barry's status as a cheeseball lounge lizard, but I love it so so much. "Copacabana" is one of the best songs of the decade and I'm not accepting questions at this time. I always love when the song goes full disco for a few seconds when Barry sings the line, "Now it's a disco, but not for Lola." These two songs are really fun.

This segment ends with a really great underrated soul song called "Native New Yorker" by a trio called Odyssey. I was unaware of this song before making this list and I'm glad I found it. It really helps sell the magic and myth of NYC and I really fucking adore this. This rules and it brings the segment to a really good close.

Tracks in This Segment:

On Broadway - George Benson

Deacon Blues - Steely Dan

Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf

Feels So Good - Chuck Mangione

Copacabana - Barry Manilow

Native New Yorker - Odyssey

Segment #7: It's Got Soul AND You Can Dance To It

This second-to-last segment doesn't need a lot of explanation. While disco was owning 1978, there were genres adjacent to disco, such as funk, soul, and R&B that were getting big and seeing success. These three songs are representatives of that from three really good groups. My favorite of the three is "Serpentine Fire," one of Earth, Wind & Fire's more underrated hits.

Tracks in This Segment:

The Groove Line - Heatwave

Serpentine Fire - Earth, Wind & Fire

Use Ta Be My Girl - The O'Jays

Segment #8/Finale: An Ode to Black Divas

This playlist began with exploring the Bee Gees and their overwhelming success, but where there are Disco Kings, there must be Disco Queens. Black women are incredibly important to disco holding the fuck up as a genre and this final segment is here as a means to honor a few of the black women that laid down some magic that year. Our three representatives include the wonderfully underrated Evelyn "Champagne" King with "Shame," the incredible Precious Wilson and Eruption doing Ann Peebles justice with their version of "I Can't Stand the Rain," and of course, the queen of disco herself, Donna Summer to close it out and bring us home with one "Last Dance" (if you were afraid she wasn't going to be here, your fears are now gone).

These women each bring something great to the table and they're worth your time. I can't think of a better note to end on.

I've rambled for way too long, so if you've read up to this point, I thank you and I'm appreciative. I hope you enjoy exploring 1978 and I hope you take a look at the full one-hundred song list. There might be more gems out there that I didn't include that you'll fall in love with. <3

[kevrocksicehouse]

Whoever thought hipster-punk filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who turns 58 today, would ever be iconic? Well if you were paying attention…..

Reservoir Dogs (1992). “Let me tell you what ‘Like a Virgin’ is about…..” says Tarantino playing Mr. Brown, soon to be one of the casualties of a disastrous diamond robbery in this incendiary debut which introduced a director of astonishing energy, narrative daring (we see before and after but never the actual heist) and an unsurpassed obsession with pop/trash culture (nobody will ever hear “Stuck in the Middle With You” the same way again) a poet’s way with slang and profanity (“F---ing Charlie Chan. I got Madonna’s bid d--- coming out of my left ear and Toby the J--… I don’t know what, comin’out of my right”) a painter’s eye for violence. As angry and scared men try to figure out the “rat” that tipped the cops off and the story gets progressively uglier, our delight with Tarantino’s technique with the movie’s cruelty. Every good actor in the movie gives a career performance. I’m not sure who won.

Pulp Fiction (1994). Set in Los Angeles but an LA transformed by the director into pop-culture heaven (Where you can get a Big Kahuna burger and a Jackrabbit Slim’s milkshake that’s almost worth five bucks) where the criminal underground is lit in bright colors and sharp-witted hitmen banter about fast food before they “get into character” and philosophical crime lords “get medieval” on enemies. The plot structure is convoluted enough that when a beloved character is killed in one sub-story he shows up in the next (One constant: When John Travolta takes a whiz, all hell breaks loose). The most influential film of the ‘90s, gave us a hip, seductive world that for all it’s violence we wanted to live in and for the next couple of years just about every filmmaker did.

Inglorious Basterds (2009). After another crime caper (Jackie Brown, 2007) and a full-blown leap into Tarantonia (Kill Bill 2002 and 2004), Basterds was the director’s first “historical” feature, and the fact that it audaciously rewrote history and viewed it through cinema-addled eyes (a plot to kill Hitler centers on the premiere of a movie) gave it a piquancy that highlighted the war’s horror (an urbane Nazi [Christoph Waltz] plays cat-and-mouse with a farmer before machine gunning the Jews he’s hidden, The Tennesee southerner [Brad Pitt] leading a band of Jewish soldiers regularly commits atrocities against Nazi prisoners, a resistance fighter with a grudge [Melanie Laurent] casts herself as the Wicked Witch of the West with a beyond-the-grave cackle). In the WWII of out cinematic imagination we’re all collaborators. This may be his masterpiece.

In a Valley of Violence (2016)

“We’ve seen this movie dozens of times before, but it’s made anew through the film’s likable drollness and through the way the performances of Ethan Hawke and co-stars Taissa Farmiga and Karen Gillan either satirically exaggerate types we’ve come to know over the years or subvert them entirely.”

Bardzo bym chciała cię kochać,

Zaczne wszystko od nowa,

Śmialam się z twoich żartów nerwowo uciekając wzrokiem

Zbyt długo ciągnęły mi się rozmowy gdy mieliśmy się rozstać

Ale raz u mnie w domu gdy Travolta tańczył z Thurman

położylam się na tobie i zapamietywalam jak wędruje twoja ręka po moim ciele

Czułam że trzymasz mnie w ramionach

Że wachasz moje włosy i calujesz w głowę

Palilam papierosa w wietrzny dzień a ty stałes tak blisko zeby nic nie uciekło

ani żar ani miłość

Pamiętał w nocy idąc nad jezioro żeby trzymać mnie za rękę i siedział ze mną na trawie przyglądając się wodzie

Położył mi się na brzuchu a ja zatopialam palce w blond włosy szarpiac czasami żeby przypomnieć mu o sobie

Żeby znów się spojrzał

Uśmiechnął

I pocałowal

Nie widziałam że to będzie ostatnie szarpniecie włosów

Zacznę wszystko od nowa

Bardzo bym chciała żebyś mnie kochał.

Olivia Newton-John dead: ‘Grease’ star dies at 73

Newton-John, the Grease actor and Grammy-winning singer, died on Monday morning, according to a statement posted on her official Facebook page. She was 73 years old at the time. Newton-John "passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California" on Monday morning, "surrounded by family and friends," according to the statement.

In 1992, the singer and actor was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and a partial mastectomy. Cancer was discovered in her shoulder in 2013. Newton-John revealed in September 2018 that her cancer had returned the previous year and had spread to her lower back.

Instead of flowers, the statement announcing her death emphasized her advocacy work for cancer research and asked fans to donate to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, which is dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer.

Newton-John had a string of number-one singles in the 1970s and 1980s, including "You're the One That I Want," the catchy duet she sang with John Travolta in the 1978 musical sensation Grease.

Her appearance with Kelly in 1980s Xanadu catapulted the Australian native into superstardom, as did her performance of the title track, which also topped the charts.

Her 1981 smash hit "Physical" solidified her superstardom, spending 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, while its risque lyrics and fitness-themed music video reinvented her image for the remainder of the 1980s.

From 1973 to 1983, Newton-John had 14 top ten singles in the United States and won four Grammy Awards. Throughout her career, she sold over 100 million records. Newton-John was the daughter of Max Bron and German literature professor Brin Newton-John.

She had early ambitions of becoming a veterinarian, but by high school, she was winning singing contests, touring army bases and clubs, and recording her first single, Till You Say You'll Be Mine.'' In 1971, she covered Bob Dylan's If Not for You',' launching a close collaboration with an Australian friend, John Farrar, who produced the song and later wrote You're the One That I Want, ''Magic'' and several other hits for her.

She had grown up listening to country music, particularly the records of Tennessee'' Ernie Ford, but her early success did not impress critics or some fellow musicians. In a Village Voice review, she was compared to a geisha who makes her voice smaller than it is to please men.''

But Newton-John had a showbiz fan who joined her to form one of the most memorable film teams. Travolta starred in the stage version of Grease'' and thought Newton-John would be the ultimate Sandy, the nice girl who gets tough in the final act and gets her man, for the planned film.

Until that pivotal moment, Newton-John had preferred mild pop-country songs such as Please Mr. Please, Have You Never Been Mellow and soft-breathing ballads like I Honestly Love You, which won Grammys for best female pop vocal and record of the year in 1975.

After Physical, she had a few hits, but her career declined, and Newton-John became more likely to make headlines due to her personal life. Her father died in 1992, while she was preparing for a concert tour, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her marriage to actor Matt Lattanzi, with whom she had a daughter, actress-singer Chloe Lattanzi, ended in 1995 and a long-distance relationship with cameraman Patrick McDermott ended mysteriously.

Stronger Than Before; a holiday collaboration with Travolta, This Christmas, and the autobiographical Gaia: One Woman's Journey, inspired by her battle with cancer and by the loss of her father, were among Newton-John's recent albums.

In 2008, Newton-John married John Easterling, founder of the Amazon Herb Company. She was a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme and a national spokeswoman for the Children's Health Environmental Coalition, among other things.

Her husband; daughter Chloe Lattanzi; sister Sarah Newton-John; brother Toby Newton-John; and several nieces and nephews survive her. Travolta was among the co-stars, collaborators, and other celebrities who paid tribute to Newton-John following her death announcement on Monday.
