Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?

very very late 2 the party but um.......

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE IS INCREDIBLE

[refractical]

something you have to understand about me is that i've only really existed as a separate identity for 4 years. before that, i existed as, like, a box of compartmentalized traumatic or trauma-infected memories related very specifically to particular periods of our system's life. when i formed, it was like all that stuff in the box got dumped into a body and, presto, here i was. except i was still little more than a bunch of trauma in a costume (as a memory-holding fictive).

our system observes 'birthdays'. they're not really for anyone else but ourself, they're like appreciation days for us as alters. and mine's august 8th. and every year since i formed all i want to do on my birthday is change into something comfy after work, make something tasty to eat for dinner like cheesy potatoes, and put on a horror movie from the horror-genre cinematic canon. i'd never seen saw. my friend hilal recently watched the first 3 movies and told me i should make that my top priority instead of watching texas chainsaw massacre or halloween for the first time. and i take their advice because i'm sure they'd love to chitchat with me about their own thoughts on saw.

and you have to understand. that i am literally a dominant personality in this system now because of saw. i'm not a memory-holding fictive anymore. i mean... i am, yes, but i'm also a co-host of our system. which wouldn't have happened if i hadn't watched saw and happened to like it so much that i fronted more just to engage with certain fan content and talk to other fans. and then eventually got around to watching more horror films i always wanted to see, not waiting for the next 'birthday', and becoming a more dominant personality as a result. like. i wouldn't have this blog, i wouldn't have made my ao3, wouldn't have made any of the art that i've made, if i hadn't seen saw.

which is pretty crazy for me to think about sometimes, tbh. idk.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993, Henry Selick)

11/01/2024

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 animated film directed by Henry Selick, created and co-produced by Tim Burton, on behalf of Touchstone Pictures (owned by The Walt Disney Company) and Skellington Pictures, and distributed by Buena Vista International.

The film originates from a story in the form of a poem written by Burton in 1982, while working as an animator at Walt Disney Productions. With Vincent's success in the same year, he began to consider developing The Nightmare Before Christmas as a short film or television special, but to no avail. Disney initially released the film through Touchstone Pictures because they deemed the film too dark and scary for children.

Written by Caroline Thompson, the plot features Jack Skellington, pumpkin king of Halloween Town, who decides to turn his life around to understand what Christmas is. The voice cast consists of Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, Ken Page and William Hickey.

The film was a critical success upon its release, earning praise for its animation (particularly the innovation of the stop-motion art form), characters, songs, and soundtrack. Although it was initially a modest success at the box office, over time it became a cult film. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Special Effects, a first for an animated film, but lost to Jurassic Park. The film has since been reissued by Walt Disney Pictures and re-released annually in Disney Digital 3-D from 2006 to 2009, making it the first stop-motion animated film entirely converted to 3D.

Halloween Town is a world in which all the monsters of the holiday live, governed by Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king.

As dawn breaks, Jack finds himself in an open space surrounded by seven trees with doors engraved on the trunk, each representing a different symbol of the holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day).
