Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[Henry Bemis]

The Little Mermaid is about Dutch Calvinism.

Please explain.

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending.
Calvinists hate happiness.

The best I got.

He was also asexual yet had feelings for people like Charles Dickens of who he was so enamored with that he lived in his house until he became literally insufferable and they kicked him out.

I guess he was the original Stan. The original John Bardo. Yolanda Salvidar

Hunchback of Notre Dame is probably more a creation of Victor Hugo's depression more than anything else.

I heard he wrote it so people would give a shit about Notre Dame Cathedral, since it was in disrepair in his time.

The original story she had no soul nor did any of the merfolk and becoming human and winning the prince's love would gain her one.

It's a pretty interesting fable if you have never read the original:

Hans Christian Andersen: The Little Mermaid

For people interested in an accurate adaptation of the original, this American version from the 70's is the most accurate I know of. I had it on tape when I was young, alongside the Disney movie.

Not-so-fun thing, the people who put together and sold the tape decided it wasn't depressing enough so they paired it with a 70's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince. Don't get me wrong I watched this tape multiple times when I was young, but god damn it's a depressing combination.

Sounds it... Though i don't think any thing has outdepressed the Little Matchstick Girl yet, even with how TLM ends.

I know there's an anime version from the 70's as well that's pretty accurate, don't know who made it or anything (probably Toei), but I rather liked it and thought it had some nice imagery.

Yes, Toei produced it.

I have, but what that has to do with Dutch Calvinism - considering the dominant brand of Christianity in Denmark has always been Lutheranism - is new to me.

Lutherans were pretty fucking boring in the 19th century. As always. Nothing went on there.

Shit was going down in the Netherlands (neo-Calvinism) and Belgium (Catholic Socialism.)

I can never really look at The Little Matchstick Girl in a 100% serious way again after what Miss Koboyashi's Dragon Maid did with it in the anime.

 

[Trilby]

Yes, Toei produced it.

At least someone in Japan felt it was worth giving this story a shot as an animated feature, and Japan loves tragedies more than we do (A Dog of Flanders is one example).

The 70's anime movie is probably the most well known of the accurate adaptations, so I wanted to give the shorter version a chance to be seen.

So I visited Disneyland again on Sunday (yeah yeah i know) and saw that blue-haired Galaxy’s Edge lady. People are so uninterested in her and she looks like any other casual visitor that I saw only two people interacting with her.

I'm surprised more people aren't interested in Vi Mordi, the famous Star Wars character who appeared in the official novelization of the Galaxy's Edge theme park attraction!

Was that the same book where they talked about women's periods in space, and black people hair care in space?

Mondo TV outsourced the animation for a lot of their cartoons to North Korea's state animation studio. They held quite a bit of influence on the design as well. If you look at them they look like the stuff the studio turns out for domestic consumption.

They're not alone, of course. Other companies in France and Italy have outsourced their animation to North Korea since the 80s.

Even more humorous, there's been American stuff farmed off to North Korea. The Simpsons Movie for example.

Also that Pixar Fantasy movie has a new trailer out:

I must say that in a sea of failure and disappointment from Dixar as a whole these past few years, I'm kind of curious to see this.

I can't think of any American company that's deliberately outsourced their product to North Korea, but South Korean companies have been known to send some of their work northward... Thus why the Simpsons movie had scenes done in North Korea.

That's what I meant, also happened to the '03 TMNT series at one point.

Probably also didn't hurt it came during the time of the "Sunshine Policy" that was going on during the last decade. It wouldn't surprise me Nelson Shin purposely did that while getting his own film, Empress Chung produced as well.

Anyone know why Disney threw away 2D animated films? I miss them.

I wonder if SW9 bombing can affect Disney, or did the corporation reached a "too big to fail" status.
