Endless List of Favorite Monologues: Jack Kelly in Newsies(2017, dir. Jeff Calhoun & Brett Sullivan)

In The Lion King, unlike the other lions, Scar’s claws are always displayed throughout the movie.

In The Little Mermaid (1998) when King Triton is introduced, you can see Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Kermit the Frog in the crowd, underwater.

In Cars, the flies are actually tiny cars with wings.

In Hercules (1997) the Fates tell Hades all the planets will align but only show 6 planets aligning. These are the 5 planets plus Earth that the ancient Greeks were aware of and could see with the naked eye.

In Zootopia, while Officer Judy Hopps is ticketing cars around the city, she never crosses the street illegally. She always uses a crosswalk and looks both ways before crossing.

In monsters inc, sully’s chair has a hole in it to accommodate his tail.

In The Brave Little Toaster, all of the walls in the cottage are cleaned only as high as Blanky can reach.

In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, during the food storm the president’s of Mount Rushmore get pied in the face but Abe gets hit in the back just like his assassination.

In Cars the truck stop advertises “convertible waitresses” i.e., topless.

In Finding Nemo, Bruce the shark starts crying when Marlin starts talking about Nemo, saying “I never knew my father”. Male sharks mate with the female then leave, so baby sharks never actually meet their father.

The Magic Carpet from Aladdin makes an appearance in Moana.

In UP, there are craft supplies on the table by Ellie’s hospital bed when she gives the Adventure Book to Carl.

The hold up scene in the Incredibles is actually an homage to a similar scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance, which also starred Samuel L. Jackson.

In Toy Story 3 (2010) Buzz Lightyear’s batteries are exposed showing the Buy n Large brand, the same company responsible for making WALL·E.

In Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego’s typewriter resembles a skull and his office a coffin.

In Monsters, Inc. (2001), there are multiple sizes of coffee cup for each of the different sized monsters.

In Toy Story 2 (1999), as the restorationist is going through his equipment, he opens a drawer filled with chess pieces. This is a reference to the Pixar short “Geri’s Game” where a similar looking man plays a game of chess against himself.

In Inside Out (2015) while going through Imagination Land a game box can be seen in the background with Nemo on it called Find Me.

In Cars, you can spot Sully and Mike in cars form!

At the end of Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego is a little bit fatter. This is especially poignant since he states, “I don’t like food, I love it… if I don’t love it I don’t swallow.”

In Coco we can see The Incredibles poster.

Insuricare, the company that offers “car life insurance” to the cars in Cars 2, is the same company Bob Parr works for in The Incredibles.

In Inside Out (2015) two of the memory orbs on the shelves contain scenes from Up (2009). One features Carl & Ellie’s wedding, while the other shows their house.

In Toy Story Woody is trapped in a crate which is stuck under a ‘Binford’ tool-box. Binford is the fictional tool company in the TV show Home Improvement which starred Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear.

In The Incredibles, in Bob Parr’s home office, there’s a photo from a fishing trip where it appears he caught Bruce from Finding Nemo.

In Cars 2 (2011) while in a pub in London there is a tapestry on the wall that is the DunBroch family tapestry from Brave (2012), except they are portrayed as cars.

In “Ratatouille” (2007), Linguini has to hide Remy before his second day of work. He offers to hide him in his pants, revealing his briefs covered in The Incredibles logo.

After the plane is blown up in The Incredible, Helen (Elastigirl) knows the plane debris is going to fall on them due to seeing the reflection in the water.

he was a cactus

adapted to survive

with little care

covered in spines

meant to deter

to keep others at a distance

so much time

being neglected

provided the bare minimum

to stay alive

hardy by nature

he survived

no one got close

although some tried

they walked away hurt

he remained

though worse for wear

discolored, and in distress

Steve approached

undeterred by sharp defenses

determined to care

determined to provide

but most familiar

with care for the seedling

Steve gave the cactus

constant care, shelter

careful tending

yet still

the succulent grew weaker

and Steve came away bleeding

the cactus

soft and bruised

darkened roots

meant for summer

having lived a lifetime in winter

had endured

Sam found him

barely alive

and risked comfort

risked spines

to care for the injured

to bring him back to life

Sam was meticulous

but kept his distance

he looked for the signs

he tended

and under the Louisiana sun

the cactus began to thrive

captivity under-watered

gave him no room to grow

Steve over-watered

kept him close, but in the dark

Sam paid attention, gave just enough

and watched him bloom

Sam saw the flowers

in the sincerity of his smile

in the crinkle of his nose

in the light of his eyes

in the ease of his shoulders

in the tranquility

and Sam fell in love

with the flowering cactus

spines and all

Sam fell in love

with a Bucky no one else saw

his own secret garden

Day 12 for @monthlywritingchallenges Firefly July: secret garden

Please come leave me comments so I can convince my brain I don’t suck

IM SO TIRED OF CAPTIONS AUTO-CENSORING CURSES & VIDEO CREATORS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THE ALGORITHM BY LEAVING PEOPLE OUT OF WHAT THEYRE ACTUALLY SAYING

IM SO TIRED OF FORCED BEDTIMES IN CARE HOMES & FORCED CELIBACY & SOBERNESS BY CAREGIVERS

Per the WPBL Instagram. I first saw the names sans context, but looking into them more I truly think these are well thought out and do pay homage to women's history, and in the case of LA, the history of women's professional baseball. IMO Boston and NY have the strongest logos but in combination of city identity, color palette, and iconography, SF does have a lot going for it. Matches a lot with what the Giants do with their city connect unis.
