You know they never even made a sequel to Snow White back when Disney was pumping those out like mad...

Filmation did it for them back in the late 80's (though it wasn't released until 93, when Snow White was rereleased to theaters). There's a reason why Disney never did it themselves, there's a lot less to work with for a sequel than the majority of their movies. Even Cinderella had enough for them to shit out two sequels.

How soon we forget Filmation got in on that before that studio closed...

The suit hinged on funding for a parking garage.

25,000 workers sued Disneyland. Here's the court's decision.

An Orange County Superior Court ruled Wednesday that Disneyland does not have to pay a living wage to more than 25,000 cast members (Disney’s term for employees) who sued the company for higher wages. The lawsuit alleged that Disneyland took a city subsidy by allowing the city of Anaheim to build the park’s Mickey and Friends garage on company-owned land. While the city owns the garage, it leases operations to Disneyland for $1 a year — Disneyland leases the city the land for that same $1 annually — and Disney keeps the profits. The city took out a $550 million municipal bond to finance the garage and used it to also provide some funds to Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center. When that bond is repaid, ownership of the garage reverts to Disney. (Last week, that parking fee went from $25 to $30 per day.)

Per the city's Measure L, voted into law in 2018, any private business in Anaheim receiving city subsidies is required to raise employees’ wages to $18 per hour by 2022, plus subsequent cost-of-living increases. In his final ruling issued Wednesday, Judge William Claster found that while Disney is receiving a “significant benefit” from the city, the company is not technically receiving a city subsidy.

Oh Jesus! I forgot about that movie! I think in my mind, I wrote it off as a fever dream.

I wish I could forget about this movie. I really wanted to see the original Snow White for some reason, but it wasn't coming to the cheap base theater for a while, so my mom took me to see this in the meantime. Presumably to shut me up and keep me satisfied in the meantime. Spoiler: it didn't work, at all.

Hot damn, the nostalgia.

Yeah, it was a stupid movie overall, but I remember liking the idea of the whole sub-plot where the Prince got turned into a mumbling midget who wasn't able to tell Snow White who he was. The scene where he looked at himself through a puddle and stomped on it in anger and despair yelling out muffled "no's" I remember making me feel sad for him.

But yeah, gotta love the fanfiction tier writing. "They're the dwarves, except they're girls! AND they have elemental powers! Oh, and the bad guy is the Evil Queen's brother!

Man, I miss those days.

Supposedly Disney sued over Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night.

These films were supposed to be part of a series of Filmation-produced sequels to classic literature... but these were the only two that came out before they shut down.

That's what I've heard. Never saw these films at all when they came out. Still haven't seen "Happily Ever After" as I was in high school when that was released in '92 or '93 and just never got around to it later on.

Reminded the idea of sequel-izing stories had been done much earlier at Filmation with this film...

The part I remember most about that is that when deformed, the Prince wore a mask that made him look like Orko from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

And the fact that Filmation made it made me wonder if that was deliberate.

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.

Yeah, paramedics are pretty limited in what they can do. As far as I know Disney World airlifts everyone to ORMC where they're actually pronounced dead unless they're completely fucked up to the point where paramedics are allowed to call it. Y'know people in multiple pieces or decapitated or the guy's lungs are lying five feet away from him or something. Technical term is "injuries incompatible with life."

Your average fat person having a heart attack (which I am sure happens frequently at Disney parks) is going to have CPR performed on them on the way to the hospital. Someone can be asystole for 30 minutes and paramedics STILL have to keep going.

I mean, the magic mirror did tell her she was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom every single day, until Snow White booted her down to second place. It would be weirder if she wasn't hot, or at least conventionally attractive.
 
So what are the odds the Seven Dwarves end up being racially diverse and at least one be a homosexual so Disney can brag about it?
 
Kinda late on this, but if the Lightyear movie gives us funny Emperor Zurg, I will live with it. They won't because the cartoon apparently wasn't well liked by people at Pixar, but I can dream
