'Strange World' Disney's 2022 Animated Film

[BuddyThomas]

Wow Berenstain Bears. What a blast from the past. Does anyone remember the Little Critter books that Carls Jr used to include in their kids meals in the 80’s?View attachment 686457

Sounds like you found the entertainment that you should revert to. I hope it is very entertaining.

Ok was theme the wrong word? I’m pretty sure you understand what I was saying though.

I don't, actually. Are you just saying that you don't want gay characters in the parks? If so... just, uh, don't go to the attractions that feature them? Much like you already don't see those movies...

Oh, I've watched that guy before! He's really good. I just can't imagine cooking without YouTube now, whether its modern guys like this or watching old WGBH episodes of Julia Child in black and white, I just have to have a video now. I'm adding this to my watch list tonight, just for the fun of it. What an impressive ingredient list he has!

How did we ever do it with propped open cookbooks covered in flour and those little 3x5 recipe cards???

I hope you have a wonderful Christmastime with your family my dear lady! Stay warm and safe at home with family, which is the gift of streaming even if it's losing money for the Sharp Pencil Boys! I will be doing much the same, and staying away from those convertible top shops on the other side of the tracks.

Thank you! You too!
In my case it was survival as the parental units were the worst cooks ever as in they messed up even hamburger helper

How about in the spirit of the holidays everybody declares a truce until at least after the new year

 

[BuddyThomas]

That's a really nice way to say it, thank you!

There's plenty of movie studios that can do modern adult messages, and even attempt to make them for children.

I don't think Disney should attempt that. The recent box office stats clearly show it isn't working for them. And now there's evidence that it is hurting the Disney brand overall in America's cultural consciousness. That's a real problem for a company that built itself and its sterling reputation on this sentiment...

To be clear, here we have a self proclaimed gay man advocating for no gay content of any kind in DIsney films. I cannot express how sad this is.

 

[Phroobar]

You know if they remade the Flintstones and made Fred super smart the same people would then complain it's being too woke.

No they wouldn't. they would just make him a super villain.

The Disney theme parks are among the campest places on earth. Princesses, parades, "magic", and a bunch of very obviously queer CMs. I have no idea how some of the people posting here can be so blind to the gayness that already surrounds them at WDW.

You continue to post homophobic crap on herdoverand over again and it is disgusting.

Why is it disgusting that I don’t want that stuff In rated PG animated children’s films?

 

[TwilightZone]

I sure do love homes I wonder what kind of decor would fit in one?

Hmmmm

Maybe furniture

IDK though, seems controversial...

Aye, and that's the rub. It really pains me to think that the American (worldwide?) public won't let Disney break out of its childish box even a little without punishing them for it. I have really enjoyed the vast majority of Disney (and Pixar's) recent animated output, but I also like more complicated fare than most. [Note that I am not saying in any way that something like Lightyear or Strange World is actually complicated, just that it's not as simple as the public's expectations.] The trick, if they want to keep on the current course, is managing to do both in the same story, and the recent movies are lacking much of a kid-facing hook to engage that demographic. I think Sox could/should have been that in Lightyear, but Strange World doesn't really have it at all.

People like to have a gay time at Disneyland. Nothing wrong with that.

They are the same ones who love the content that gay people added to the Disney legacy such as Howard Ashman (Beauty and the beast, Aladdin, Little Mermaid) and many others but god forbid there be a couple of minutes of a gay character in a movie. This site has always been packed with homophobes. Ugh.

I think classic Pixar already struck the balance you're asking for. Up and Inside Out are especially good examples.

Even The Flintstones were having a "gay old time." It's been there all this time, just staring us in the face...

How could we be so blind?

There was nothing at all wrong with the content to which you are referring. Question-did you even see it or areYou blabbing about it like that martini shaking dog?

You continue to post homophobic crap on herdoverand over again and it is disgusting.

Where's the nuance? It must be nice knowing that everyone who has a differing opinion than you is a bigot and a homophobe.

It’s pretty clear, actually.

Why are princesses, parades and magic Gay? You don’t get to claim that stuff. And how does Gay people existing in the world and doing their jobs relate to the point I’ve been making about the PG movies?
