throw some rat poison in there and kill them all.

Too many other animals to do that.

If I could find a way to only poison the rats and the coyotes that eat them. The poison would already be in the garage with big signs that say Rat Special. Great tasting goodies...

Alas, we won't do that, so we get to pay. At least they will be here to rat proof the house on Monday.

I bet a certain trash panda would take the bait.

It’s getting so much harder to avoid ads for RotR at DL on YouTube even though I don’t want to watch them (I want to see nothing about the ride before I ride it). At least everyone’s aware a new ride’s coming.

That’s certainly not what I thought they meant when they called it Rise of the Resistance.

I get Trash Pandas, I bring out the hose with the super Jet function. That motivates them to find someone else's yard. A family of five are in our neighborhood.

Tonight's Off Topic Rant is Rodents.

I once dealt with a rat invasion in an elderly woman's house (I'm a part of her in-home support team) that stemmed from her neighbor's trashy yard. It involved several close rodent encounters.

I prefer dealing with the bears around here.

I so desperately want Disney to make a real fairy tale again. Something like Sleeping Beauty, or Pinocchio, or Beauty and the Beast. I know they've had Frozen, Frozen II, and Tangled, but as much as I honestly do enjoy those, they don't have the same reverence as the others.

Agree. Technically, Pinocchio’s not a traditional fairy tale; it’s a twisted kid’s book originally written in serialized form for a newspaper. But I know what you mean. Personally, I’d love to see them take another shot at Jack and the Beanstalk (and NOT the canceled “Gigantic” version). Or The Nightingale. Or Rumplestiltskin.

But no matter what, they’ll change it for a modern audience just as Walt & Crew changed all the stories you listed. Back in their day, the music and humor of Snow White and Pinocchio were as contemporary as what we got in Tangled and Frozen.

I‘d love to see Disney tackle a lavish, faithful animated version of America’s greatest modern fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz. Wondrous and terrifying, done in the style of Netflix’s “Klaus” (which, I swear, is the best animated feature of the last 5 years).

I’m not sure “twisted” is a strong enough word to describe Pinocchio. That is one messed up story.

Everyone seems to forget Return to Oz exists...

...and that Disney still owns the film rights to the Oz books.

Except for the first book, which is now Public Domain. I love Return to Oz, but I wish it weren’t so claustrophobic; it really doesn’t feel like you’re in a vast land full of dozens of cultures. “Oz the Lame and Disappointing” had the same problem. I want Disney to do the first book, taking full advantage of the limitless possibilities of animation, to bring Oz to life in a way that’s never been possible before.
