Tumbling (Step by Step)

Both parties are guilty of flattening down and misconstruing the true personalities of various Disney women for their own personal gain. What makes the usage of Adorkable more irritating to me is that those that use that term are also the first to jump to the original princesses defenses, not even seeing their own hypocrisy, as they turn back around to say that every Disney female lead after Rapunzel has the exact same personality.

THIS.

You'll never catch me saying that there's nothing to criticize Disney about, but that kind of reductionist nonsense ain't it.

(plus, Ariel, Mulan, and Jane are all every bit as dorky and cute as the heroines of the past two decades are)

NICKELODEON's very first NICKTOONS all premiered 35 years ago today on August 11th, 1991

I chose to avoid most franchises in order to fit as many individual films as possible. Mary Poppins, Homeward Bound, and Enchanted have sequels, yes, but they're not "franchises" in the likes of Narnia or Pirates of the Caribbean. Also, films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit are in that..... weird space of being teeeeeechnically being produced by Disney, but without the Disney logo at the start, so in order to be as fair as possible, I stuck with "official" Disney movies. Just wanted to give a little love to my fave live-action films since I do tend to favor animation on this blog.

That we can all ignite

And all that's dark inside us

Will flicker into light..

There's a power in every breath

There's a power in every note

A power that starts within the heart

A power that rises through the throat

And when it sails up through the air

More beautiful than any prayer

This power can right all wrong

And it will always thrill the ear

Of those who have the power to hear

The magic of a song

All that’s strong inside us

That tells us wrong from right

Becomes a song inside us

To chase away the night”

The song from of my favorite movies...

It's called "Runaway Brain" :3 Disney has a love/hate relationship with it because it's extremely beloved and held in high regard but also it does NOT fit their modern image so they can't promote or release it to any wide capacity because it would 100% terrify children.

Anyway
