I don’t understand why people attempt to denigrate Hallmark Christmas films by referring to them as “too cheesy”, as if that is a bad thing? I mean, have you *had* cheese? It’s not exactly the insult that you think it is.

Why yes, I did get Bob Iger's book (secondhand) to have quotes handy for moments like "what do we think of the 3rd anniversary of his return from his already-postponed retirement?"

I've seen very few, but Beauty and the Beast soured me forever. Another teacher showed One Jump Ahead from the new Aladdin during homeroom today and it started my day on the most horrible note. I'd never seen or heard it, and that arrangement was SO BAD.

The really depressing thing about AI is it proves how little most people care about art. This is very funny, but also, so many people will have had to look at this and not one of them stopped and said "what is this absolute shit?"

The Disney company, as it exists in the year 2025, losing rights to play in the sandbox of others' creations seems like a win for creativity as a whole. Look at the treatment of their own work! Reading this on Mickey Mouse's birthday and on the heels of a Moana remake teaser is weirdly satisfying.

This pretty much sums up why Disney Parks are being ripped up to shove up random franchises in every corner. Just a stunning lack of awareness of what makes these things special, why they work. Sometimes, most of the time, it ain't about storytelling.

It's November here, but I'm playing "Masquerade" and remembering the time I worked wristbands at Not So Scary and a guy came in wearing an INCREDIBLE Red Death Phantom costume. The best thing about the Halloween parties was always the guest costume creativity.

One of the best theme park books out there, exploring the allure of pirate stories in history, literature, and film and how the attraction was shaped by, and now shapes, that fascination.

I try to only post obscure anniversaries, so here’s one: 61 years ago, Oct 26, 1964, a curious episode of The Andy Griffith Show aired. The timing was perfect, and thus an iconic theme park sight gag was born!

Plenty of good stuff has been said about classical music in cartoons (from Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny to Bluey), but a different example that really stuck with me was "In the Hall of the Mountain King" as the puppet show on Zoobilee Zoo.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I remember reading some Beauty and the Beast book in the pediatrician's waiting room once and the story was about Mrs. Potts being too stressed, and Lumiere suggested she have a cup of tea. Yes she was still a teapot. I was bothered. 😂

It was such a big part of my family experience growing up and my early adult life through my 20s, but seeing numbers like this (even knowing enough to know that NYE is always more $ than typical...) the urge to return isn't particularly great...
