It's not about that at all, though. It's about how no one person is the center of the universe and that everyone, no matter how cool their lives look on the outside, has their own pain and struggle that they are dealing with, and how you shouldn't assume that you are the only one who has problems. A huge part of the overall journey of the film is about the main character learning and realizing that everyone, even the most perfect-seeming and special members of her family, experiences struggles and suffering, and that she isn't actually the only person with problems. It's about how you shouldn't assume that just because someone looks like they have a fabulous, perfect life that they don't have shit they're dealing with.

Basically... it is about trauma and empathy, not in a "you should forgive your bully right now because they're going through some shit" kind of way, but in a "you aren't the main character of the video game called Life and you should recognize that other people have problems and suffer just like you do, no matter how awesome their lives look on the outside" kind of way. It's got a nice side of "don't make assumptions about people, you don't know what's going on in their lives." And it's also about how family and community matters, and how people can come together to solve problems and heal wounds that they couldn't do on their own. It's a really positive, healthy message, especially in our incredibly individualistic world.

Also, Bruno wasn't exiled by his mother and forced to live in the walls. He did that by his own choice in order to protect his niece, Mirabel. He was afraid that his family would turn against her if they knew she was in one of his terribad visions of the future (because of the assumptions they made about him and his visions - another way the film shows that making assumptions is bad!), so he fled and lived in the walls so no one would find out about the vision he had. He comes back in the end and all is forgiven because his family has (emotionally) grown enough that he doesn't have to be afraid of the consequences of his visions anymore.

Finally, I'll note that the movie emphatically doesn't end with everyone acting like "nothing happened". The end of the movie is about the family recognizing what they had done wrong in the past, recognizing each others' suffering, and coming together to rebuild stronger with all that they have learned over the course of the film (and their lives). The whole point is that everything happened and they've learned from it and become closer and stronger and better for it.

(Disclaimer: Not a "Disney Person" really, saw Encanto on Christmas because it was free and really liked it.)

Sounds like gay shit.

What was wrong with Raya? I never saw it. The protagonist somehow doesn’t look very Asian. Mulan on the other hand looks Chinese and I know a lot of Chinese people who really like her and that movie (the animated version with a fucking Jerry Goldsmith score). Hong Kongers of course hate the remake.

Hunchback was actually an influence in my conversion to Christianity. I think that’s testament enough of its impact.

The Black Cauldron is a pretty odd one for Disney and a bit underated i would say.

The Black Cauldron suffers from being adapted from the second book in a series, which is a weird jumping-in point, as well as changing the ending to a more kid friendly ending, which kinda negates the entire point of the book. I still don’t know what Disney was thinking with that one, but I really wish the Chronicles of Prydain would get another shot from someone, because the books were some of my favorites as a kid.

Interesting, i didn't know it was based on a book. That makes sense with how Disney rolls, for every daring artistic choice there's ten obtuse compromises following their corporate logic, just like with hunchback, theyn can never just commit the whole way.

They own a ton of IPs too so there's plenty of cool things that won't get adapted at all by anyone else because Disney is choosing to shelve them until it feels like half butchering it to fit their mold.

The whole point of the book was that they were a bunch of nouveau riche losers who were trying to buy their way into having clout.

Except Gatsby, an atypical new rich man whose money was more of a mob cover. Plus, his aim was to psychotically recreate the alternate reality in which he would marry Daisy and live with her a new life of well-being and innocence.

An extreme simp, if you will.

Yeah, if Disney gets into a kid's brain at a young enough age, they're usually in for life. They go after kids harder than a pedophile and they sink those fangs in deep.

Disney fully understands the long game when it comes to creating fanatics and 100% prioritizes kids above all else in their park operations. They'll drop everything (including older guests) to make sure a young child isn't having a bad time at their parks. Hell, if a parent dolls up their daughter in "princess" garb for her park visit, they'll mute their own fucking ads and shush everybody just to shine a spotlight on her and announce to everyone that they've been graced with the presence of a Disney Princess(tm). And that will happen everywhere she goes all fucking day long. Want to see Disney actually cough up a non-trivial freebie or two? Send your "princess" in first wherever you go in the parks. Employees have been fired for not making a big enough spectacle of it, so they tend to put out the good china when they turn up.

Fucking lunatics.

And god help your lady friend if she ever realizes Disney has a vacation cruise line that sails to tropical destinations. She'll die penniless and alone.

Don't the women who play the Disney princesses get super fucking depressed when they leave the job because they went from being treated like an actual princess pretty much every fucking day to being a normal woman again?

I'm out of touch, do kids now even like any newer original Disney IPs?

I still see Frozen 2 merchandise everywhere, but the ugly dragon movie they made recently had merch that went to clearance at my store pretty quickly, I can't think of any cartoons they make that is actually watched by kids and not adults. I know Disney owns tons of other studios now, but I'm drawing a blank anything "classic Disney" that's popular with kids and not adults.

'Emperors new groove' will always be my favourite.
Still, would've been interesting if 'Kingdom of the sun' had seen the light of day.

MC's father was killed and her country effectively destroyed after she was betrayed by this one girl. Five years later after learning to open up again MC decides to forgive this girl and learn to trust or something because forgiveness is a good Protestant value and Disney needs those Baptistbux.

Anyway

I saw Hunchback in theatres when I was clearly *too young* for it (birthday parties lol), but I always remember Quasimodo holding up Esmerelda's body while shouting "Sanctuary" because despite their faults, Disney's art direction is impressive enough for you to remember key scenes.

Honestly Hunchback and Beauty and The Beast are pretty underrated by Disney fans I feel.

Tattoos like this always remind me of that one girl who got a tattoo of a Lostprophets lyric, then heavily regretted it after the lead singer from the band turned out to be a literal baby raper. Here's a post I made about her ages ago in the Bad Tattoos thread

so if Eminem turns out to be a baby raper, that guy'll be pretty unhappy lmao

What's even funnier to me than that is the fact that she can't separate the lyric and the message that had meaning to her from the creators themselves in order to make it meaningful to her on it's own.

Stolen from @Nathan Higgers from the "Pictures on the Internet that made you laugh hysterically" thread. I haven't seen TBOBF and don't have Disney+, so is this accurate? I mean, from the trailers it looked pretty boring. Is it really just a bunch of 'Memberberries?

Thats actually a really good point, who cares about any of their new IPs? It really goes to show Disney can rehash Marvel and Star Wars properties ad naseum and still make profit. You can't even call Star Wars a good property anymore, there's more shit in the series than anything good. It has Sonic level hit or miss (mostly miss) quality because take out the og trilogy and it's George Lucas fucking around with cg and boring sci-fi movies pandering to the lowest common denominator. They don't need to put effort into innovation anymore if half the population will watch a low effort psuedo-woke Pixar movie just because it's the cool thing to do. When was the last time Pixar made anything particularly interesting... 2010 maybe?

It looks like pure cash-in. Probably like Solo but worse.

The retroactive backlash against Boba Fett as a character because he doesn’t talk is retarded though. He beats the good guys and the quality of unique designs like his simply didn’t exist back then, unlike today where every minor Marvel TV show has a dedicated art department with millions of dollars thrown at it. There simply wasn’t much Fantasy and Sci-Fi, most of it being super low budget trash where guns are made of old spray paint cans.

I think this video (aside from his slight optimism) about sums up the problems with the show as well as the appeal of the character which the show fails to capture.

Most of the defenses I'm seeing for the show though do seem to be borderline "Its just like when I was a babeh OHMERGOSH" or "At least it isn't woke". Standards have hit rock bottom it seems.
