![]() ![]() and like, yeah, i want to be careful about lauding the “FOLLOW UR DREAMS TELL UR STORY” narrative, because we live in a society and we gotta pay bills and sometimes your most self-indulgent story just isn’t gonna cut it. i still refuse to think undertale is cringy because it dared to be more sincere and vulnerable than anyone calling it so ever hoped to be. i have probably watched more amateur video essays than i have watched professional documentaries in the past couple years. and i really do have soft spots for kinda wonky webcomics that have a lot of heart. there’s a lot of mediums for people to tell their stories and stuff. ![]() i read a lot of webcomics and sometimes Books and also we live in the age of youtube and podcasts. and like, the movies aren’t BAD by any means!! they have every resource available to them, of course even the least well-recieved movies they release are still going to be Pretty Okay. it feels like cowardice, not on the creators’ behalf, but of the corporation. it seems like it’s so difficult for them to keep anything quirky or strange or challenging because they know what the backlash and criticism will be - which also feels deeply dissonant to me knowing that if anyone can withstand the backlash it’s fucking disney. because i do not doubt for a SECOND that the people working on all these new movies are deeply passionate and full of love for the stories that they’re telling! but there’s also something about how every movie feels like it’s being polished down more and more and more to appeal to the w i d e s t audience possible. some of it is because of my own nostalgia and my growing up (even if it feels like a betrayal to admit to it), some of it is the growing awareness of disney as an all-consuming and cynical corporation, some of it might be the shift in genres and mediums and it might simply not be as much to my tastes as my old faves. Meanwhile, i am struggling to feel any hype at all for newer disney movies. □ Lastly, enjoy drawing/writing~!

It was my first experince seeing something imported from a smaller canon to the larger pond and it was glorious. It showed off some of the others in passing, and most important had a little sandwitch making snarker known as 625, aka my faviorite part of the tv show, who was clearly so justifably popular he got ported to the animated series. As such I have fond memoreis of a special section of atlantis the lost empire, jetpack pets, and my faviorite comic they ever did: a prequel to lilo and stitch that not only fully invested me in watching the film, which unsuprisingly I ended up loving, but also got my little brain reving as, unlike the movie it put extra focus on the fact that stitch was the 626th experiment. While I wasn’t even born till a year after it started, the magazine stuck around for almost two decades, from 1990 to 2007, and as such gleefully seeped into my childhood, with the formula of a bunch of disney related articles with some comics in the back holding the whole time. ![]()
