Sudden interest in Disney?

IT's not that weird. I'm not the biggest Disney fan, and I hate how they change the stories they adapt for their films (Pocahontas, Hercules, Alice in Wonderland) but their early stuff, the original stuff, and the stuff they do with Pixar tend to be pretty good.

I could go on a whole rant about the crap they change, but that's another topic.

What do you consider "classic?" A certain age? 'Cause really, some of their stuff is great- especially the hand-drawn animation.

 

hand drawn snow white was epic new innovation. talented.

 

I'm bi. And Disney is awesome. But, me being bi has nothing to do with liking Disney lol. Just not into the princess ones... except for Little Mermaid & Beauty and the Beast. Let's face it, Disney has gone on forever for a reason. Especially when Walt was in charge. He was a true genius and it's actually kinda heart breaking that he only really got the respect he deserved after death - out of anyone he needs a biopic because his story is just as inspiring as his films are. Everyone, no matter the age, usually loves Disney.

 

You mention liking Disney as though it is something uncommon and worthy of shame...

I myself have been a longtime fan, so welcome to the best part of being a perpetual child! Disney influenced (and continued to influence) me very much in my developmental years, as I am sure it did for millions of other children, both gay and otherwise.

But yeah, Disney is amazing. I'm jealous of your mug too! I collect mugs, and actually don't have a Disney one yet...

 

I think the gay part isn't liking Disney, it's liking the Princess stories and the musicals. But even though I don't care for that stuff, I recognize the great work they did.

I saw a 1929ish Halloween short about a skeleton dance- hand drawn awesome! Especially the scene where the skeleton leaps at the camera, which goes through the chest cavity. Blew my mind.

And the classic Mickey Mouse etc cartoons I've never seen, but I've read some of the comics, and they're cool!

 

I'm not too into the princess ones, but I absolutely adore Mulan--it's the greatest!! I don't like the princess ones because now it feels like....there's no place for me watching them, you know? I liked them a lot more a a child when I was still growing up, understandably.

 

It's awesome that you love Disney.

I'm a big fan of 90s movies like The Lion King, Mulan, Tarzan, and Hercules. I've never been into the princess movies really. I don't think liking Disney is "gay", it's just an interest you have. Disney music is wonderful as well!! I performed in a drag show to "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan.

I was a big enough Disney fan to pack up all my bags and go work for them for 5 months!! I might want to work there as a career. From everyone's posts, you can tell that you're not alone in your interest for Disney. :icon_wink

 

I love all Tim Burton films.
I only love a cpl oth Disney movies.
Often than not, I get mad at Disney.
Disney has too much stereotyping and such.
It makes me mad.

 

Just for people to see because I've fallen completely in love:

Btw I like your signature line lol that is a good song.

I love the Kingdom Hearts series, too, but I was reluctant to play it at first becaue of the Disney. But it was also done by Square, with Final Fantasy Characters in it, so I focused on that part more.

 

There are things about some of those childhood movies that you don't think much as you watch them for the first time. But they make my head spin when I think about them now that I'm older. Like Jasmine and Aladdin bonding in his rooftop hideaway. At first, it's like "Aw, how sweet, if only they knew..."

Now, I can't stand that scene. "Aw, the rich girl is complaining about having too much money to a street beggar. Someone get a violin."

I am fond of the Kingdom Hearts games though. If only because watching Donald Duck shoot fireballs at Cloud is worth the price alone.
