babe, i'd love to have sex, but first, let me explain to you why Rango (2011), despite winning an oscar, still remains one of the most underrated animated movies of all time, and how it's being held together by standards and stereotypes imposed on animation as an industry, and why i'm still salty it never makes into Top 30 Best Animated Movies Of All Time lists despite clearly deserving this spot, and in this essay i will

currently thinking about how doug and michael both call lisa “kiddo” when lisa is in a vulnerable moment with both of them, they both betray her in similar/different ways, and how neither of them see her as equal to them

Rewatched Princess and the Frog today and honestly it feels more like a celebration of Disney's 100 years than Wish. A classic fairy tale respun in interesting ways while still being undeniably Disney? Check. A traditional story with modern twists and a (narratively) strong female protagonist? Check. A return to 2D animation in a time when the medium was dying out? Check. Hell, it even takes place in the same time period (1920s) that Walt Disney released the first animated feature film and started a hundred years of magic. There are multiple references to older Disney movies, from classics like Pinocchio and Sword in the Stone to (then) recent films like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. It features the fucking wishing star! In a more narratively sound manner than Disney's actual 100th year celebration!
And even beyond that, Princess and the Frog feels like it pays tribute to the magic of magic - the power of believing in stories, of having a dream, of working hard to reach your happy ending while never losing sight of what's really important. There is so much effort put into this movie and it shows: the animation is gorgeous, the story is creative and structurally sound, and behind the scenes reveals that the producers put their backs into making sure both the African American aspect and the New Orleans cultural aspect were accurately depicted. It was the first Disney movie in over a decade to return to the Broadway musical format, and they literally had to dust off the abandoned 2D art tools because the company hadn't used them since 2004.
Princess and the Frog was a labor of love through and through, a heartfelt tip of the hat to Disney's legacy while still being its own story. I don't know what could be more celebratory of Walt Disney's dream than that.

I don’t think I can stress enough how fucking great it was to watch the fnaf movie in a theater. It was filled with so many fans and cosplayers (I was in a purple guy cosplay and I ran into like at least 6 others it was amazing). Genuinely the loudest I’ve ever heard a theater in my life is when matpat came on screen. When that Freddy kill happened some guy in the audience immediately shouted out “WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87” and I think that’s pretty funny. I just really need to emphasize how much it enhanced the experience I’ve never had more fun at a movie theater in my life
