Another Halloween Cartoon, this one from the golden age Silly symphonies era.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=vOGhAV-84iICan you believe in some states this cartoon was banned because the bible thumpers found it "obscene" and thought it "promoted Satanism?"

There were a couple of countries where it was banned because it was thought to be "too scary." The later Mad Doctor met the same fate.

Back in the old days towns had censor boards that could ban things, and they all had their agendas. Boston had a famously prudish censor board ("Banned in Boston" was once a slang term for something with racy content), while Chicago, in the late 30s, banned any film with an anti-Nazi agenda - ostensibly to avoid upsetting the German population there, but there were suspicions the homegrown fascists controlled the censor board.

You should all be glad they don't exist anymore.

Thank God for that.

Of course, anyone of my age may recall this special from '82...
 
When it comes to Disney and Halloween, nothing beats Sleepy Hollow. That is spooky and animated comedy horror at its finest.

Also that Headless Horsemen song is lit as fuck.

The Headless Horseman besting the protagonist makes it stand out as the only Disney villain to have succeeded unless you count Rise of Skywalker. The entire forest home sequence is terrifying and I'm so glad I grew up watching the standalone tape over and over again. It's the right kind of trauma.

The Mooninite Light-Brite situation in Boston makes me think otherwise with them.

They should have stuck closer to the source material for Hunchback, then you'd get another movie where the villain, uh...won?

Frollo kills Esmerelda, Quasimodo pushes him off Notre Dame, killing him, and then basically just lies down with Esmerelda's corpse in her grave until he starves to death.
 
Missed the anime discussion and the Lightyear discussion. On the Lightyear point I actively hope the next Kingdom Hearts game after that movie releases uses it for shameless confusion given those games have Disney crossovers.

More on topic I am unsurprised by Disney looking into anime products because of Amphibia;

Disney are eager for a slice of the anime pie and the fact that a couple of their bigger cartoons are trying out the magical girl and the isekai (spelling?) genre at the same time made it pretty darn clear.

I'm curious though if this is going to lead to a repeat of Black Cauldron where they try for a new genre in a committed fashion and it backfires hard on them.

Even if it does, 9 times out of 10 it'd STILL be better than High Guardian Spice, that's for sure.

Probably. Heck I still think the Amphibia stuff is well done even if I can't stop seeing the Dragonball Super stuff when it happens.

I'm honestly curious why they went with blue as the colour for Anne. Most of the promotional stuff seems to tie her more to green as a colour and while they were always going to evoke Dragonball references having her specifically tied to blue so close to Super seems odd. It works aesthetically, but green might have too and was one of the possible colours.

But I am no doubt over thinking it.
 
A question I forgot to ask, how many people die in Disneyland? Looking online it's zero (partly due to Disney not allowing paramedics to announce deaths) but I find it hard to believe that their not shipping out a coffin out of the place once a week considering they have terminally ill cancer aids children and super obese americans regularly going in.

Disney World certainly ranked a few.

I keep hearing that, but I also hear that only doctors can call a death and they never ride along with paramedics.

Klaus is basically a Santa origin story, but it does hold up story wise. The main character is kinda Kuzco-ish in the beginning and does sound a bit like David Spade, but he grows out of that fast. As an adult, I did enjoy it in the end and it's a hard recommend from me.

And as a plus, Norm MacDonald is in it.

This, you have to be kinda obviously fucked to be declared dead on the spot. Paramedics are generally too busy getting someone who might not be completely fucked from point A to point B so they hopefully don't die.

I think some people guess around 40-50, its hard to tell since they will report a death but they don't exactly advertise the exact number, off the top of my head I recall hearing two people have died on the Matterhorn, one guy on Big Thunder Mountain, and a cast member being crushed to death inside the America Sings attraction.
Also isn't the paramedics thing just another urban legend of the park like how Walt is supposedly buried or cryofrozen somewhere on the property.
