Overanalyzing the flashback scene because why not?

I've seen some people throw around jokingly that Velvet is "delulu", and "crazy", and stuff, but I legitimately think that she might believe some of the lies that she says. What makes me think this, you may ask? The flashback scene. I'm referring to is where the viewer sees the point of view from both siblings about what it was like when they were younger. It's quoted a lot because it's hilarious, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

There's three major elements that I considered while interpreting it: the tone/expressions of the characters, the people involved in the interaction, and how the flashbacks are utilized.

To start, Velvet is having a conversation with her brother. This is a person who lived in the same household as her and would know the most about her out of the entire cast. Velvet's argument to Veneer about not releasing Floyd to continue their lifestyle is that they would have to go back to an awful place, which would bank on him having that same perception. Her expression is very serious and upset as it transitions into her flashback.

The interpretation of "a dark place where we had nothing" is not left to the imagination, with a scene of the two starving and living in poverty. It cuts back to the current time, and Veneer states as if he were responding directly to the flashback, "Girl, we grew up in the suburbs. Our parents were dentists." Veneer doesn't hesitate to say this as what she had described is objectively false.

Both flashbacks take place in the same setting, but there are some key differences between them. The first flashback has them both filthy and holding the same bowls as the second flashback, but they're empty. The second flashback has a full table, and the table has no food in the first flashback. Velvet's interpretation has their parent's house as unkempt, sad, and colorless. In stark contrast, Veneer's flashback shows a tidy and vibrant house. However, Velvet isn't happy in both flashbacks. Velvet is sad in her flashback of their past, and Velvet is angry in Veneer's flashback.

Velvet lashing out in the second flashback led to what I'm explaining the whole scene is about. Velvet's interpretation of the past was based on how it emotionally felt, which led to her memories looking far more depressing. Velvet's younger self, with those issues controlling her emotions, may have felt like she was alone and living in "a dark place". It was objectively false, but felt real!

I'm willing to give this scene that more thorough interpretation because it's clear manipulation if Velvet said it any other character, but when said to her own sibling, it's a very strange and blatant lie that would never have worked. Would it not have made more sense if she had instead left it at appealing to Veneer's materialism?

Emotions can be so powerful! It may even lead to a different view of the same event.

“Girl we grew up in the suburbs our parents were dentists”

IM PISSING WHY DOES VENEER LOOK LIKE THAT

[modern-alebrije]

had a movie night by myself last night, curtesy of "watch [blank] online free"

rewatched trolls world tour, the new trolls, and disney's wish

dreamworks' character design game is unbeatable, all the characters in the trolls movies are so delicious-looking. i really liked the betty-spaghetty people in band together.

"do you want to go back to having nothing?"

"girl, we grew up in the suburbs. our parents were dentists"

was such a good joke lmao. the trolls movies don't take themselves too seriously so ig i dont have high expectations for like, a grandiose plot or masterful storytelling. they're good at what they do.

disney's wish was... alright. i watched a camcorder recording so the quality wasn't super great, but it looked like a lot of pastels and limited palettes. it especially stood out after just having watched two trolls movies lol. the music was not my favorite, a lot of the songs struck me as cheesy, and not in a particularly fun way. like, i didn't walk away humming anything. i felt like the soundtrack was afraid of sounding too broadway and that hurt it because some of the songs ended up sounding too generic, very greatest showman of them. i liked that rosas was like, a melting-pot kingdom, that was cute.

so was wish supposed to be like, an origin story for the evil queen's magic mirror and cinderella's fairy godmother? or were those just references like the other five dozen references to random disney movies?
