I recognized Meg’s voice actor in something recently and now it’s bugging me that I can’t remember what it was.
Only ever heard her in Spirited Away.

Just, nothing about it makes sense. Gospel music, Las Vegas style, designed by Scarfe (the guy who drew The Wall album art)... Also Micheal Bolton. So yeah.

I have no idea what they were thinking, maybe they just wanted to do something extremely different but all these decisions just don't work with the story and tone the film is going for. It's confused, it has no idea what it wants to be. It's isn't horrible but by Disney standards it's pretty shitty. This was around the time Disney kind of just trailed off.

Hercules has the only Didney ost that I can actually listen to without wretching violently.

Also I know it's not Disney but I fucking loathe Finding Nemo.

The Hercules OST has one good song though.

What on earth is your problem with Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin's OST?

What a coincidence, I just watched this so we can all get back on-topic and everything will be OK.

I always forget how much I like Finding Nemo until I sit down and watch it. It’s weird how little of it I retain.

*Not seen Atlantis or Treasure Planet.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire features a brief shot of two coelacanths. Therefore it has the Bullet Magnet seal of approval.

Frozen uses the word "fractals" once, and may be the only Disney film ever to do so. Therefore it has the Bullet Magnet seal of approval.

I'm constantly surprised by everyone's disliking of Hercules. I still think it's great. I can't tell if it's nostalgia or not though that keeps me rooting for it.

Tarzan on the other hand is beautiful, and I know nostalgia doesn't have much to do with that for me.

I never saw the movie, but I remember watching the show they made after it when I was in high school, and being surprised by how funny it is. The Aladdin crossover episode where the monkey, and Icarus are both lured into a trap with bananas was my favorite. I can't believe I still remember that.

One episode of Aladdin saw Jasmine slowly transform into a naga. It stirred some very strange and confusing sensations.

I guess I'll post it here

I just saw Frozen. It was a very funny movie.

Wasn't a very good movie though. I can't relate to a main character who feels like a mouthpiece for the writer's witty comments. It was too clever for its own good with about 10% sincerity (And that's in the parts where Elsa actually had screentime).

maybe you should just let it go

I dunno about any characters being a mouthpiece, unless you’re referring to the parts of the movie that are obvious digs at the “classic” Disney princess formula?

I mean Anna wasn't a character. She was a constant string of (Legitimately well written) jokes and breezy subversions.

That movie was definitely far from perfect. I love it because of my particular experience with it. I went into watching never seeing so much as an ad for it. So when I started out and it started with a music piece I was immediately thinking Oh great, this is going to be a terrible cheesy movie. I stayed on though, and when I saw the next song actually properly broke out, not like these other modern "musicals" which have way too much song buildup. The songs were great, and their introductions (or lack thereof) was amazing.

Seriously, no one mentions The Lion King? When you're discussing Disney classics this one should be near the top. Along with Aladdin and things like Snow white and Beauty and the Beast.

Also I hear Frozen's story is almost a carbon copy of The Lion King/Hamlet. True or false?

Everyone keeps saying Frozen is like Lion King, and it's really not. People keep relating Elsa to Simba being isolated from his society. Elsa isn't even the protagonist. Not to mention she was only gone for... what, a few months maybe? She didn't completely grow up through years of life outside society.
