In March of 2026, guest will be able to meet Bluey and Bingo at a location of the park that no one goes to and when I say guest, I mean grown Bluey adults with no kids of their own who won't grow the fuck up.

They're hoping they can renew the deal to keep Bluey on Disney+ past 2027. If not, no one will be watching Disney+.

and a potential buyout since the creator of Bluey is leaving the series after the movie comes out.

yeah I only glanced at the headline but this is SOOOOOOOO calling eminent domain on Bluey
which ironically might mean Team Bluey calms the fuck down a little about parody

Disney buying bluey from the aussies would be like if they bought the rights to something from pbs like Arthur or magic school bus.
 
I was watching the colin looksback video about Jafar and he mentioned some books and I hot curious and looked for.

Then I clicked the books section and clicked on this one:


"The Queen's Council is a Disney publishing series of books, based around the idea of a Disney Princess taking the reins of power with help from a mysterious force."

Huh, so they publish straight up fanfiction.

>She brought honor on the battlefield. Now comes a new kind of war...
The war is over. Now a renowned hero, Mulan spends her days in her home village, training a militia of female warriors. The peace is a welcome one, and she knows it must be protected.

>When Shang arrives with an invitation to the Imperial City, Mulan's relatively peaceful life is upended once more. The aging emperor decrees that Mulan will be his heir to the throne. Such unimagined power and responsibility terrifies her, but who can say no to the Emperor?

>As Mulan ascends into the halls of power, it becomes clear that not everyone is on her side. Her ministers undermine her, and the Huns sense a weakness in the throne. When hints of treachery appear even amongst those she considers friends, Mulan has no idea whom she can trust.

>But the Queen's Council helps Mulan uncover her true destiny. With renewed strength and the wisdom of those that came before her, Mulan will own her power, save her country, and prove once again that, crown or helmet, she was always meant to lead. This fierce reimagining of the girl who became a warrior blends fairy-tale lore and real history with a Disney twist.

And this was just the first click on the Wikia with 800 entries, what else did they publish?

Oh, that’s not their first batch of fanfiction. They did a bunch from the view of the villans, like the Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine from Cinderella, Jafar, the Red Queen, etc.

They've got all the classic fanfiction genres for sale; there are also series for "what if"s and that stupid modern life alternate universe genre.

Potential spoilers for the new Avatar.

The Avatar movies are the most bizarre fucking things and I dont understand who is watching them. They make a boatload of money but have zero cultural impact and I've never heard anyone talk about seeing them IRL. I almost believe the conspiracy theories that all the numbers for them are fake and they're a money laundering operation.

I just know that a lot of people want to fuck the blue cat aliens.
 
I had a thought today that Pain and Panic from Hercules are basically just recycling Flotsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid except they're demons instead of eels in subjection to an evil character with supernatural abilities. I figure it partially makes sense in a way given Hercules is when the 2D films started to get bad.

I'll be fair I saw the first one twice in a theater
it was a really cool theme park attraction 3d movie and it was really fun to get high af in the parking lot
but I have given no real fucks since then, even high with rifftrax at home it's like "... yeah... okay"

really the most I've ever given a fuck about Avatar was that cut scene of how life on Earth is shit with him dealing with wheelchair bullshit, and most of that was I was in a wheelchair

They're the definition of style over substance. On a technical level, they're very well made even if it's 90+% CGI, and James Cameron clearly puts a lot of effort into the visuals and the world of Pandora. Like, I will not fault him for making the prettiest movies he possibly can with the lavish budgets thrown at him.

The problem is that there is barely anything beneath the spectacle to latch onto. The characters are one-dimensional stereotypes at best, and the only one who's memorable is the "evil" military guy (and I guess they realized they fucked up killing him off because they brought him back as a cat alien somehow (I didn't see the second one)). Our protagonist is the blandest man who ever existed, you get pretty much no sense of who he is or what he cares about beyond "man I wish my legs worked." The plot is as basic as you can get (Dances with Wolves and Ferngully in space), and there's no shades of gray at all; the humans are all irredeemably bad except for the scientists studying the ayys, and the ayys are all pure and heckin' wholesome. And the messaging is so on the nose it's hilarious. Woah, guys, don't burn down the rainforest or do a heckin' genocide! Truly, I would never have thought not to do that without James Cameron.

And that's why nobody talks about them, because what is there to talk about? Nobody is relatable when there is no internal struggle or conflict and they all act like Saturday morning cartoon characters. The story can be summed up in a couple sentences, and there are no twists or anything to really shake things up; people on the good guys' side are always good, and vice versa. At best, you remember maybe a setpiece or two, but everything else vanishes from your memory as soon as you leave the theater. People go to see them for the spectacle, nothing more. It's like a roller coaster ride: fun while you're on it, but it doesn't really stick with you after you get off.

Put another way, there's a reason that Star Wars was a cultural phenomenon for decades while Avatar has had no cultural impact whatsoever.

I remember the idea that interstellar-capable humanity wouldn't completely wipe the floor with the Navi within hours was all that was running through my head while watching it in theaters when it came out. It completely took me out of the movie.

I only end up watching it because I am interested in watching Humanity purge Xeno filth.

To bro fair they were going up against the equivalent of Humanity’s mall cops and random unionized miners / industrial employees not any kind of military.
