Either make seeing red as a story about a girl who turns into a red panda when she gets emotional and keep it as an allegory OR tell a serious informative story about the human biology. You can't have it both ways. The story of menstruation is cringey especially in hindsight, but at least that short took the subject matter as serious as it could while still being a work of Disney animation. It didn't have Minnie mouse as the narrator or use her for the anatomy model.
It was meant to be shown in health classes. It wasn't going to be shown in public.
It's the paradox of adults creating relatable content for children. Obviously these adults went through all the same things they're portraying on film, but they're making content for others instead of themselves. Some people can't get past that, some can.
You don't remember when a nuclear missile dropped on the forest in the original Bambi?
Barry Gordy's The Last Deer
Thought we were getting a new series of Misfits for a second.
Shoutout to Misfits! Never did finish the third season/series.
Fuck that shit. And here I was excited for nothing
Been hearing it on a rock/alternative station lately. It's really weird, mainly because I honestly doubt kids are actively listening to this particular station even if the parents have it on.
Thought someone finally put Zendaya where she belongs for a second.
You're not even wrong about it looking like a commercial. The red panda mascot could be used to sell tampons the same way those red bears are used to sell Charmin. Maybe this film was the result of some scrapped plan for Disney branded women's hygiene products.
They couldn't even get Nick in as like a wise old mentor? That's always been a good way to re-introduce old series without alienating old fans.
Nic Cage will show up if you offer him $10 and a Twizzler. From what I can tell it looks like they just didn't want him back.
Good fucking question, Ron. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party literally has a straight-up No Gays Allowed rule. China forbids depicting effeminate-looking -- "gay" looking -- men anywhere. And yet, Disney hasn't said a fucking word about that. I wonder why....?
From Randy Newman and Peter Gabriel to Billie Eyelash. Fuck me.
A nigga, a chink, a dreamer and a token white soyboy...of fucking course that's the cast.
Was this unknown until today? What a bizarre thing to keep as a surprise.
