#disney stuff

Up until now, all the Disney villains in my little project been criminals, loners, weirdos, or some combination of all three. Gaston is notable for being none of those things. He is a popular community leader, extremely Establishment, always surrounded by people. He’s also our first explicitly sexist villain (“It’s not right for a woman to read. Soon she’ll start getting ideas and… thinking.”) Belle is, of course, disgusted by this. And that’s the problem. The question here is why has Belle specifically gotten under Gaston’s skin so badly that he has to marry her… when he probably could’ve married all three of his blonde groupies at the same time. Like... Belle isn’t THAT much more beautiful. 

At first I thought it could be an insecurity thing… but... Gaston isn’t insecure. So I think it’s more ideological than that. Belle is a rebel who mocks and rejects Gaston's idea of an ideal community, and that is incredibly disturbing, and threatening to him. In kind of a twisted way, the best way to deal with this is to marry Belle and you know - slot her into the established system. Bring her in line. Gaston handles “crazy old Maurice” the same way, by getting corrupt authority to throw him in the insane asylum. 

I separated this out from my other, goofier Disney villain sorting, because when talking about Gaston I really wanted to bring up Howard Ashman, the creative force behind the film, who died of AIDS before it was finished. And it’s easy to see some of his experience in the ‘monstrous,’ ‘unlovable,’ shunned Beast, and the rule-breaking “peculiar” Belle who just wants out. Ashman drops lyrics like “We don't like / What we don't understand / In fact it scares us” during Gaston’s villain song, and that’s some pretty real stuff. Andreas Deja, who designed and animated Gaston, is also gay, and I think it’s so interesting that Gaston’s design went from REALLY queer coded at the beginning of production.

To the much *straighter* macho outdoorsman we have today. 

(also I want to throw in this amazing drawing I found on Andreas Deja’s website, where he’s shipping Gaston with another character he designed/animated.) 

I mean think about it. They both have a similar music style that's jazzy and snazzy, flamboyant/showy, and associated with shadows.

They also have a song that uses blacklight which gives them a literal glow up.

Plus, Dr. Facilier has the cards and Oogie has the dice.

Putting their evilness aside, these two would totally know how to party. Heck, Dr. Facilier was in the heart of New Orleans, which celebrates Mardi Gras, so he probably knows a thing or two about partying hard.

The two would undoubtedly be absolute menaces if/when they get drunk. Especially Oogie. (I HC Oogie as a sloppy drunk while Facilier is basically the same after a few drinks if not a little friendlier)

So, the teaser for Zootopia 2... I just saw it a couple of days ago.

And Judy Hopps (who is a fraud, because real rabbits aren't really supposed to eat carrots) and Nick Wilde have been two of the hugest sources of furry bait from Disney for almost a decade now... I know the funny stuff out of that side of the furry fandom is going to skyrocket. And Gary De'Snake looks like a more innocent Kaa... I think. I refuse to acknowledge anything lest the Mouse hunts me down.

The funny stuff will proliferate even more when the film actually comes out in November. It's a fucking family film, but that side of the furry fandom (I'm not saying all furries are like that, because they obviously aren't!) don't care.
