- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has it’s Nighttime Glow
- Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris will get a new name and look,
After transporting generations of guests into the magic of movie-making, the second park at Disneyland Paris is entering a new era marked by a fresh creative vision, brand-new experiences, an expansion on a never-before-seen scale, and the introduction of an all-new visual identity.
To celebrate this new chapter, Walt Disney Studios Park will be renamed Disney Adventure World when World of Frozen, a new immersive area dedicated to the wintery world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen will come to life, bordering a majestic bay. While the ongoing transformation of the park is sure to take the guest experience to a whole new level, the entire resort will continue to elevate its offerings in the coming years.
“Embracing a transformation that involves the overhaul of more than 90% of Walt Disney Studios Park since its debut in 2002, we’re unveiling a fresh creative vision that has completely redefined our second gate,” Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris shared. “It’s set to offer unique adventures in immersive worlds, serving as a perfect complement to Disneyland Park.”
- World Showcase
- Wish – The Disney 100 love-letter to Disney Animation
https://collider.com/wish-disney-easter-eggs
- The movie creators have confirmed that there are over 100, possibly as many as 150, easter eggs in Wish.
- Look – does this movie pack the emotional punch of Encanto or Moana, or even Frozen. No. But what it does do brilliantly, is celebrate the magic and history of Disney animation – and how WISHES have always been part of the magic.
- It’s a love-letter to the first 100 years of Disney animation
- There is so much to love about the movie and this heroine – not to mention that mixed raced kids now have a princess to see themselves in.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
- The look of the movie:
- Uses the same aspect ratio, and design as Sleeping Beauty – which had not been used since that film.
- We return to the Storybook opening like we saw so often in early movies
- The Villian Magnifico
- Disney had gotten away from traditional villains, which is good, but here that take it back to a big baddie
- The green streams of Magnifico’s magic calls back to Malefiscent
- Even his name harkens back to her.
- As does his staff
- Magnifico stores people wishes, unburdening them of that hope, and eventually he starts to “pop” people’s wishes.
- Those 3 he pops specifically call out wishes related to Aurora’s dress, or the ability to fly like Peter Pan, or to find the perfect nanny – which is when Magnifo says he is “poppin” them.
- Literally has his own magic mirror and says… Mirror Mirror on the wall
- And he has a Snow White’s poison apple on his desk.
- Ultimately he gets sucked into his sceptor – and Kelli immediately said “itty bitty living space” a’la Aladdin.
- Asha’s friends
- There are 7 of them.
- Then are imbued with slight characteristics of the 7 dwarfs.
- Their names start with the same letter as their Dwarf counterpart.
- At one point Gabo even announces that he’s grumpy.
- That guy is played by Harvey Guillen – Guillermo!!
- Asha’s animal friends
- Bambi,
- Thumper,
- John the Bear
- Plants
- Star brings flowers to life that harken to the talking flowers in Alice in Wonderland
- It brings to life mushrooms
- Asha
- Her goal at the start of the movie is to literally become a sorcerers apprentice – a’la Mickey in Fantasia
- As she is trying to lead Magnifico away from the castle, she dons a cloak with a purple ribbon super similar to the one worn by Fairy Godmother.
- Then Star makes her a magic wand – so her Fairy Godmother look is complete.
- And what does she do, she accidentally adorns a tree with a pink dress that looks strikingly similar to the dress that Cindy’s mice and bird friends help her make.
- Star
- Sprinkles stardust, similar to the way Tink sprinkles pixie dust.
- It’s face is a heart, but also is supposed to harken back to Mickey’s face.
- Enchants a bunch of stuff in Magnifico’s dungeon/tower – including a quill that immediately starts to draw a Mickey Mouse.
- Her grandfather, Saba, is 100 years old – which they mention over and over.
- His wish, which Asha rescued for him, was to create a song that would inspire generations…
- And what do we get – in the post credit scene, we see that he is strumming the notes for When You Wish Upon A Star – the whole movie is an origin story for the Wishing star and the Song we’ve grown to love and has become an anthem for all things Disney.

Chris 2:50
Port Royal is just south of Beaufort, just north of Parris Island. So it’s right on battery Creek. They’re very much in the heart of the Lowcountry. Close your eyes. Think of low country, spine, small Spanish moss piers and things like that. And you’ve got it is very, very South Carolina. Low Country. Absolutely beautiful. Yes. Right.

Kelli 3:42
I think you killed it.
Chris 3:43
I think I did too.
Kelli 3:43
And we had Malaysia before that. A couple of different places a gem Allah
Chris 3:48

Kelli 4:00
Really? Okay, well now that’s fun. It
Chris 4:04
is fun and they have a whole bunch of other like they have one they call a waterpark and when they call a screen Park I
Kelli 4:10
wonder if they have like a double day or situation where you can get slimed or
Chris 4:14

Kelli 4:18

Kelli 4:26

Kelli 4:54
I when I saw that I thought How is Vicky and I’d never had
Chris 4:58
it’s been more it has They have lobbied for it. And I remember a year ago. They they did the announcements in Miami. They did the announcements this past week in Tampa. But they did the announcements that was very disappointing. The Vicki UNAL didn’t get it last year. But they’ve they absolutely have their Michelin star I
Kelli 5:18
want to say like, that’s the nicest restaurant we’ve ever.
Chris 5:21
It’s, it’s the it’s the most incredible dining experience I’ve ever had
Kelli 5:25
ever. And so if they didn’t have a Michelin star, what must it take? That’s what I’m saying. I
Chris 5:31
know. I know. I’ve got a got a friend at work who like intentionally seeks out Michelin star restaurants whenever she goes somewhere. It’s sort of It’s a thing that she enjoys doing. I love it. I love it so much. I’m going to ask her this week. If do you get credit for dining at a Michelin star restaurant before got a Michelin star?
Kelli 5:51
Right It was probably our review on the podcast think that God I think it finally got there. I
Chris 5:56
think it’s been a while since we did the ash 2016
Kelli 5:59
I remember it. Well.
Chris 6:00
I mean, I’m taking the review. Oh, the review. It’s been a while. It’s been
Kelli 6:04
a minute. Yes, it has. I think I remember the visit very, very well. I will never ever forget that coffee. I know. It was the best coffee the best coffee had and it was a freeze
Chris 6:15
if you ever freeze coffee, but it was made in that vacuum press. vacuum
Kelli 6:19
press coffee is a revelation. A revelation and a bread course in between each of the actual meals
Chris 6:27
with with compound butters designed for each bread core sees different bread courts. Are you kidding
Kelli 6:33
me? And the diver scallops that like they had stove into Maine and gotten
Chris 6:42
out of the water that morning and carry them down? Yeah. Yeah. And they were. They were big. I mean, we’re as big as divers. And
Kelli 6:49
that was it is like they they told us he dove down into the water this morning to fish I
Chris 6:55
can remember them. I can’t remember how they made those little butter wheels. You know, because it wasn’t enough to have this tower of butter that they brought out to your table. They they painstakingly made these beautiful little twills out of the butter using two spoons before you were allowed to eat now right now I
Kelli 7:13
just want bread and butter.
Chris 7:14
That’s what I’m gonna have it for dinner. It’s all our bread and butter for dinner.
Kelli 7:19
My goodness. Like it’s hard that I think that says so much about me that that’s what I remember the most from the meal is the coffee, the bread and the butter. The
Chris 7:27
status, the status. She’s so happy. The saddest thing about that meal was that you didn’t eat the chocolate thing we had the
Kelli 7:37
end not it was it was
Chris 7:40
it was the best chocolate thing I’ve ever eaten in my life
Kelli 7:43
is miserable like completely miserable. And you had eaten most of the meat
Chris 7:47
I had I had eaten all your steak and diver scallop and I was in the scallop
Kelli 7:51
all that you ate most new still were stuffed at the I was stuffed it was mostly again the bread and the butter. Which is my kryptonite but man that was good.
Chris 8:03
It was so good. We had like four servers that were one was handling all of our just our water one was handling our wine and champagne. And we had a hi hat beside us. I mean, it was It’s the nicest meal I’ve ever had. We saw that woman jerk that little kid back out of the restaurant because he didn’t have a jacket own
Kelli 8:18
coat. And they had a sport coat for him to wear. And I thought Why would you pay this much money for a child to eat here? I couldn’t I couldn’t imagine because it’s the most expensive meal we’ve ever
Chris 8:29
most expensive meal we’ve ever eaten by far and I just thought Why would
Kelli 8:32
you pay that much money for a child to eat at this kind of a restaurant? Yeah,
Chris 8:37
it was delightful. I mean, the servers were so good. The summer. Yeas were so amazing. And they had the harpist there that was playing. It was just
Kelli 8:45
it was it was amazing. Absolutely amazing. The
Chris 8:49
Michelin star is long overdue for Vicki and owls, and I can’t recommend it enough, honestly. Yes. And they’re the maitre d got the like the server of the year also from the state of Florida. Yes, for the whole state. The whole state of Florida got the server of the year or whatever the maitre d. He was honored last night also good for her whenever they get to announce Wow, yeah, here’s what Michelin Star had to. Let’s see. This was the official release, in addition to now being the first and only restaurant owned and operated by a US theme park destination to hold a Michelin star. Victorian hours is the sole location in Florida hold the honor of having both the AAA Five Diamond consecutively since 2000. Wow. And the Forbes travel guide Five Star Awards consecutively since 2018. And one of only 26 others in the nation with the with that same distinction with I
Kelli 9:51
mean at some point you got to think that Michelin was just trying not to give it to them.
Chris 9:56
It’s what it sort of feels like we can’t and so apparently I’m
Kelli 10:00
at a theme park. It’s at the Grand flow. So that was their issue like get off that hotel. It
Chris 10:05
was owned by a theme park resort, I think was probably the big hang up because Disney has hosted a Michelin star restaurant previously, I think it was called kappa. But it was third party. It was not owned by Disney.
Kelli 10:19
It’s ridiculous. That’s ridiculous. I
Chris 10:21
think that should if that if that was weighing into the conversation then let that go. Because Vicky and Al’s is
Kelli 10:28
ridiculous. Stanley Tucci would present this Michelle LAN, Michelle, Michelle land because it’s French this French which I think is still so surprising because the photo is taken with the puffy tire with the with the Michelin tire man, what made the tire company in charge of restaurant? I know, I know the answer to that. Okay, please tell me because I’m like, This is why we’ve got to move on. Tell me.
Chris 10:53
Michelin does tires and years and decades and decades and decades ago, they issued it will still started in France. They issued like travel guides for people who were driving around on their town on their tires. And so they would issue this travel guide to if you were driving through x town they would recommend places to eat in that town. And they weren’t all Michelin starred it just sort of iterated in tune to Michelin into this thing that that oh, so Michelin goes around and finds great places to eat if you’re traveling. And so they just graduated it to being this thing that drives chefs crazy.
Kelli 11:28
That’s fascinating. A tire company Yes. Like that’s what our restaurants are aiming for. To get
Chris 11:35
a shout out about the Stuff You Should Know podcast. It looks like Stay Puft Marshmallow he does like Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Yeah, I think he came first. He’s truly horrifying and old pictures they just as horrifying as like mascot pictures are from yours but I think
Kelli 11:50
he came before stay Puff
Chris 11:51
1,000% sure of it.
Kelli 11:53
Really? Okay that’s it he
Chris 11:55
was he was at the good was horrifying is early days of this Michelin tire was still not great. He’s He’s a lot better than he used to. He’s looking
Kelli 12:04
at color of a tire. That’s what I don’t get. He’s white walls. He’s made out of all white tires. And I don’t get that at all. Like, what’s the point? What’s he What’s he really made from? I need? I need to know more about the Michelin man. I’m clearly very curious about the Michelin man. This is something I need to hit the girls for.
Chris 12:23
I’m just telling you that Vicki and Al’s congrats
Kelli 12:25
Vicki and completely, completely deserve it. Absolutely
Chris 12:29
do a lot of effort goes into that. Plus Tiana’s Bayou adventure has just like turned on, it’s not partially nighttime glow. And it’s going to have Tiana’s is going to be gorgeous at night is it is going to be off the charts beautiful at night.
Kelli 12:49
And I’ll tell you like that area of the park needed something because the mind train behind them doesn’t really have a lot of exterior lights on or mountain bike. Yeah, it doesn’t really have a lot of exterior illumination at night. Which I think is the point right, you’re going through a mine so it’s dark and what have you. But still, that area of the park is not really lit up at night. Like Pecos Bill sort of shut down the fridge fireplaces sort of shut down. So I think it’s going to add
Chris 13:18
it’s going to be beautiful, the water is going to be purple and green and it’s going to have these lit up like lilies and stuff on the water and, and all the cypress trees and all they’re going to be uplit and it’s going to have this purplish hue and again, it’s going to feel a lot like that. Riding through the swamps in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Paris is what it’s going to have that sort of look and feel I
Kelli 13:42
think I just hope they don’t have ray with his toothless grin pretending to be a Southerner because I really hate his accent. I am not for ride the Firefly. I don’t like that he is depicted as a toothless southerner. With his accent I
Chris 13:57
feel offended think he’s gonna be there.
Kelli 13:59
I’m offended by Ray the fire. All right, well, fireflies don’t have teeth. pare that down.
Chris 14:06
I don’t talk either need to do the alligators. I’m
Kelli 14:08
just saying so why make him Toothless? Why give him a toothless grin. Unnecessary, unnecessary stereotyping. Seen when necessary stereotype.
Chris 14:19
Last bit here. And Walt Disney Studios Park in Disney Land Paris is going to be getting a new name and look. Not for this name. I don’t think they tried hard enough is going to be changed to Disney Adventure World. Sounds like something from a vacation movie? Well, here’s what they say. After transporting generations of guests into the magic of moviemaking. The second pocket Disneyland Paris is entering a new era marked by fresh creative vision, brand new experiences and expansion of never forcing scale and the introduction of all new visual identity so that this is going to coincide with the opening Have the world of frozen there which late this year next year and what’s going to have happening is this is going to become a land of immersive experiences of interest campuses already their role the frozen will be a fully immersive experience and they’re all going to be situated on this majestic bay that Studio One thing you walk through when you go in there yeah, they’re gonna tear that down we’re gonna have a I know that was I know I know you did. I knew it was gonna hurt your feelings. I really liked your you’ll enter into a whole new adventure promenade and go from there Yeah, I
Kelli 15:36
get that it’s hard to marry the Avengers with frozen it is I guess it is
Chris 15:41
and then and then you got that I
Kelli 15:42
do think they could have tried a little bit harder than
Chris 15:44
it was an adventure world I know the that Remy area is really cool really nice over there and so it feels immersive already. They
Kelli 15:54
don’t really feel adventurous. The immersive Yes, but adventurous May. Okay, well, and they could have
Chris 16:00
tried a bit harder with the name with the naming they could have tried to I’m for the work they’re doing. Yeah, but let’s just read let’s work on the name a little bit. Revisit the name Adventure World sounds
Kelli 16:09
out of it. Workshop. Are
Chris 16:13
you ready to tell us all about whatever’s happening in your Tomorrowland? Is it really Tomorrowland is actually taking liberties
Kelli 16:21
so when you and I go places, it’s not just as you just in general go places like and say we’re shopping or what have you. If we’re not together like you’re in a different part of the store or something. We’ll text each other pictures things and I’ll reply with either want or need in need is an all caps deed means buy buy buy right now buy right now,
Chris 16:43
I spent $1,000 In boutique e once and you weren’t even in Florida wasn’t even in Florida. But using that using that same methodology
Kelli 16:50
that system right? It’s a good system we’ve got sure and so in any case, I was looking through some of the stuff happening at Disney this summer and I came across a significant number of souvenir mugs and popcorn bucket. Okay, and so I’m gonna give you the 10 popcorn Buck buckets and souvenir mugs that you need in all caps. Okay, summer Okay,
Chris 17:10

Okay, so you really need so first we’re going to start with Star Wars now some of this stuff is available at both Galaxy’s edge and in Disneyland Park. But a lot of it’s just one or the other. Okay, but so need need need. Okay, the first one is a grinning loft cat souvenir mug. This includes guava coconut milk with basil crystals. This is new. He is only a Disney Land. He she I don’t know. These things are selling for almost $100 on eBay. Oh wow. Already. It looks like it belongs at Trader Sam’s like it’s sort of car oh I see interesting reminisce trader Sam’s I don’t know what a lot cat loves cats. Love cat. Okay. I don’t know. I don’t know why he’s grinning. But highly recommend. He’s totes adorbs Okay. Also at Disneyland Park. Now you can get that one the greeting logcat is only at ogos Okay, this one is a docking by seven galactic grill and ronto roasters. It’s called a sap tap cup. Oh, okay, this includes a fountain beverage at the time of purchase. And so what this looks like is like a clear mug sitting on like a metal thing with a straw that sort of goes around it or through it and all that interesting. I don’t know what that has to do with Star Wars either. But it looks really cool. You need it. i Everybody needs everybody. This is the kind of thing that like when you’re just like sitting out on the patio this summer drinking, put it in your SAP tap cup. Because that thing is is a need. It’s a need. Okay, but limit two per person on all of these things. Right? Some of these are for May the Fourth, may the fourth be with you celebration. Okay, next we’ve already touched on this is your salvaged Stormtrooper helmet bucket. Now this looks like a helmet that’s been like beat up and left in the sand somewhere. So you’re eating the popcorn out of the bottom of the bottom of the helmet right? Down to put your popcorn in it look really, really cool. You can get this at Disneyland or at Galaxy’s edge.
Chris 19:36
This is a this is a helmet of a storm trooper that has been taken out. His helmet fell into the dusty desert. And it’s been sitting there for a minute
Kelli 19:45
and then it’s all beat up. Along that same line. You can also get a droid parts premium vessel, and that’s just all I call it premium vessel, but it’s a popcorn. It’s a popcorn bucket. And so what it looks like is you know you can Build Your Own droid. It sort of looks like somebody went in there and just put extra droid parts together and then beat them with a baseball bat. So it’s completely mismatched Sure, you can get this at Disneyland or at Galaxy’s edge. Okay, so you get them at either place again, that went actually limit 10 per person. So they’re not thinking there’s going to be a rush on the droid parts, which, I mean, I’d say, you know, same with the SAP tap cup. That’s 10 per person. I think they’re underestimating that. And then the one that is my personal favorite, is the job of the Hutt talking popcorn bucket. Yes, he is 3425 with popcorn or you can get him 3179 with fries, a bucket of a fries.
Chris 20:45
That’s what I’m talking about like it. Why don’t we do this more often?
Kelli 20:48
It’s easy for me to say I just want the bucket and no popcorn.
Chris 20:52
It is not easy to say I’m not going to do that with the frog. Give me the bucket full of frog. I’ll take two buckets one to eat my fries. I love it one to stay clean. Like
Kelli 21:03
I’m not gonna turn that down. These things are $30 with the fries and they’re selling for 60 on eBay. He even
Chris 21:10
if they’re those crappy fries, poutine starch whatever. He includes a strap
Kelli 21:14
and a salacious B crumb straw clip. This is like a little a little alien. A little brown alien man with big ears kind of looks like
Chris 21:24
a tall. He’s He’s, he’s Java’s pit. So
Kelli 21:28
let’s just be crumb. Sure. Okay, that’s his name. Okay. Get his name, right. It’s salacious B crumb. Okay, so Java laughs when you open his head and so you open it like you tilt his head back and it opens his mouth. Yeah, he laughs and then when you close him, he makes a satisfied sound like he’s enjoyed his tasty snack.
Chris 21:49
It’s really, that’s got to be the top item on this whole list.
Kelli 21:51
Gotta be it’s gotta be I think it’s amazing. And then also what you need though. This is my favorite souvenir mug situation. Okay, is the ring core beer flight souvenir board with four teeth. Okay, now this is cool. Okay, looks like like a piece of wood. It’s not it’s made again, out of the same stuff that you get at Trader Sam’s right like a pottery like ceramic. Yeah, almost like ceramic. So it looks like a board like driftwood with four legs, okay, and it’s got four holes going across the top of it. And inside each of those holes is like a tooth shaped shotglass that’s Fanta rank or teeth. Right? It’s a rank core tooth shotglass I knew I definitely knew that. And so it’s a beer flight so they put a different beer in each of your
Chris 22:38
thumb on that’s awesome. I know right? Like
Kelli 22:42
this is only a Disneyland’s August canteen. Okay, okay, right. I mean, I’m sure you can get it on eBay if you’re willing to drop a couple 100 Okay, so that’s everything you need from the Star Wars perspective, right definitely popcorn buckets and souvenir mugs that you need capital in E D. Okay, now at Disneyland they also do this big thing called Pixar fest. Sure. And so they’ve got some really cool stuff. Now I’m gonna go through the mugs and the slippers that you need honey but just as an aside, okay, at Pixar fest you can get a fried bologna sandwich. It is fried bologna Monterey Jack mustard mayo on white bread served with House made chips cinnamon apples and pickle spear. What that baloney is half an inch thick. I need a new it’s I put it on here. Just for you for Pixar fans
Chris 23:31
eat capital in
Kelli 23:35
love that so much. Apparently it’s inspired by up so maybe Carl liked I made sandwiches. Okay, so your souvenir slippers and buckets are the alien Pizza Planet Truck bucket. So it looks like the Pizza Planet. Truck. It’s dirty, you know, and a box of popcorn sits in the bag. So that’s one of those that you can get the popcorn at. That’s not going to ruin the butcher. Sure. Okay. The cocoa guitar bucket. Okay, and so this is this is part of that sounded like one of the it’s part of the 100th anniversary, and so the front of the guitar opens. So this is definitely one you’re not going to put the popcorn in. It’s not going to be easy to eat at all. But it really is Tofail totes adorbs and it’s available. Both of these start April 26. That’s when Pixar fest starts okay? The Slinky Dog sipper. Okay, so this is a cup okay with a Slinky dog but it faint at the bottom. Slinky dog head at the top and his in his springs go around the conch fun. Yeah, he’s really cute. He is also at Pixar fest, only two per person. They’re expecting a run on the Slinky Dog slippers. My personal favorite, and you’ve got to be a magic key holder for this. These are annual passes, right? Sure. Yeah, this is the Doug bucket Oh no kid, I really want the duck bucket. Also limit one per person, holy
Chris 25:06
cow. They’re expecting him to fly off the show massive
Kelli 25:08
run on this and you gotta be the magic key holder for it. Right but the Doug bucket and so it looks just like Doug. I couldn’t find out if he talks or not.
Chris 25:19
Java talks it doesn’t got to talk, talk.
Kelli 25:23
It’s a massive, massive oversight. And I just want you to imagine me. Okay, walking around Pixar fest with my Slinky Dog sipper and my dog bucket of fries.
Chris 25:39
You’ve you’ve now committed to them selling fries.
Kelli 25:41
I won’t fry buckets forget the popcorn. Right? Forget the popcorn. I want the fried bucket fried buckets
Chris 25:47

Kelli 25:58
I do I have on the Slinky dog ears and they’ve given me cheese to dip the fries in. And I’m not dollar cheese dollar dollar cheese. Okay, but I’m not talking about the comments prepackaged.
Chris 26:08
Alright, you’re talking about that dollar cheese. We got Woody’s
Kelli 26:11

Chris 28:11
All right. Here’s a little turn. I have finally we finally watched wish we did. And mad at myself for not watching it earlier. It’s on me but look spoilers ahead. Okay, it’s been a while it’s been out it’s been out on Disney plus now for at least a week. So, spoilers. I also want to call out Connor and Caroline who did this on their podcast recently. And I did not listen to it after I found out you what you’re talking about this because I wanted to I did not want to be biased by what is undoubtedly a wonderful episode of theirs. But listen to their go listen to theirs be great. So what I what I love we’ve talked about this before is I love callbacks. I love Easter eggs I love when somebody writes something into a story and then they get a call back to it much much later. Right. And this is what this movie is. This is I’ve referred to this as a love letter to the first 100 years of Disney Animation is what this movie is. The creators confirmed that there are over 100 possibly as many as 150 easter eggs in this movie, calling out and honoring all of the Disney movies that had come before it. Wow. Okay.
Kelli 29:31
But But we decided it’s 100
Chris 29:35
We decided that they? Yes, we decided because this
Kelli 29:39
movie was meant to celebrate the 100th anniversary. So why would you put any number other than 100 Easter egg?
Chris 29:44
I think maybe what they said was let’s get to at least 100 No, I think they did
Kelli 29:48
100 And then they said it’s 100 to 150. Like just to make people keep looking
Chris 29:52
in the region over and over again.
Kelli 29:54
I think it’s 100
Chris 29:55
All right. Well, sure. Okay, we’ll go with that. Look Does this movie pack the emotional punch of Encanto? Or marijuana or even frozen? No, it does not. What it does do brilliantly is celebrate the magic and the history of Disney animation, and how wishes have always been a part of that magic, right. I’m gonna get into the Easter eggs. That’s what my segments about, but I do want to call out that there is there’s there really is so much to love about this movie, not the least of which is the heroine, Russia. multiracial kids around the world now have a Disney princess that they can see themselves in. She’s not a princess. Okay? She’s going to be treated like a princess in the park see character, right? She’s the heroine of the movie, and whatever. They can see themselves in her
Kelli 30:52
right. She doesn’t really have an official title.
Chris 30:55
Okay. I’m telling you, they’re gonna treat you like a princess. We’re gonna get to see you’re like all the other princesses at the parks. Asha. The statement on princesses fandom site says the ASHA is diverse multiracial, biracial, Disney heroine being of North African and Iberian ancestry. Aisha is the second black Disney Princess Tiana and she is the love this. She is the fourth Disney princess to have freckles. Oh, at the Rapunzel, Mara and Ana.
Kelli 31:29
Ana had freckles. Yeah, yes, sir. So
Chris 31:32
in any case, let’s talk about the ways in which the multitude of ways in which this movie honors the movies that come before it. Yeah, okay. Okay. First of all, is the look of the movie just a general look. They use the same aspect ratio and design as Sleeping Beauty. And some of the movies that came before sleeping medium. Sleeping Beauty came out in the 50s they have apparently not used that same methodology since that movie.
Kelli 32:00
Yeah, when we were watching it, we were like what kind of animation? This is
Chris 32:03
watercolors on those it was it was so soft, and pretty, you know? And they also returned to the story book opening literally a story book at the beginning of the movie, opening to tell the story to set the scene like we saw with Snow White and Pinocchio
Kelli 32:19
and it was Beauty and the Beast the last one to do that.
Chris 32:22
Did beating the beast do that? Okay, well that’s cool. I don’t know that may have been sure enough. Yeah, um, Disney had gotten away from having true obvious villains. Frozen didn’t have in Hans was a bad guy, but wasn’t like wasn’t a main was it like an Ursula or something right. The second one didn’t even really have a president have a bad guy necessarily. To Mallanna it was to car but that wouldn’t have been to feed your
Kelli 32:54
ad right. canto
Chris 32:57
canto
Kelli 32:57
abuela, but she you know, right around,
Chris 33:00
right, so wasn’t really an evil wasn’t like a magnifico, right. So they wanted to make sure let’s let’s honor that. Let’s get a big baddie sorcerer in here again. The green strings of Magnificus magic very much call back to Maleficent or even the Evil Queen from Snow White. As his staff receptor that he ends up having she used one of those right magnetico stores people’s wishes right and he keeps he he unloads the burden of having wishes and dreams and stores them and then parses them out as he deems fit, right. So there is there’s a scene where he is literally popping people’s wishes. He’s gotten angry. He’s popping people’s wishes, and we see what the wishes were for the three that he ends up popping. One of them the all three of them. One of them is like a Peter Pan and wants to fly like Peter Pan. One of them is I want to make dresses like Cinderella like auroras dresses, like Sleeping Beauty dresses, and one is someone whose wish is to find the perfect nanny. And as he’s as he’s popping, it, even says, I’m popping it. Yep. All right. Yeah, very cool little callback there. He literally has his own magic mirror and literally says Mirror mirror on the wall, although I don’t think that’s the actual quote from the movie. I think it’s magic mirror on the wall. Okay. He has Snow White’s poison apple on his desk. I saw that. Yep. And he ultimately gets sucked into the sector. And I didn’t see this one called that anywhere on the documentation. I used to collider, and I used Good Housekeeping for the sources. So thanks to them. But you actually said literally wouldn’t have and you said anybody living space and I think that’s absolutely what they were doing their ashes friend friends, her human friends. There are seven of them. Okay. They are imbued with slight character. mistakes of the Seven Dwarfs from snow count. No, no, these are just her human friend. She’s got seven friends that she hangs out with they’re in recess. They’re the color schemes of their clothes match the color schemes of whichever their corresponding dwarf was. But not like an obvious not an obvious way. Red Dario is Dobby and he’s his outfit is green. He wears a cat that’s purple. Dahlia is her friend that she’s doc and she wears glasses. Very similar. Very similar. Yeah, she also walks with a cane which again, love it. They never call that out. never talked about it. But it’s there. Gatto is one of our friends. He corresponds with grumpy and even at one point in there he says that’s why I’m so grumpy. Right? He even says that movie. He’s played by Harvey and you know that is he plays Guillermo on what they do in the shadows. He’s been in other things too. But that’s all the gear. I love. Oh
Kelli 36:01
my god. That makes me watch it again.
Chris 36:04
I know. Ashes animal friends literally gets called one of them gets called out as being Bambi. Right? Is that the goat? No, that’s the deer that’s it. There’s a deer in the goat is Valentina by Alan Tudyk. In the movie was great. No, Bambi when when when star makes them all talk. Right? Bambi looks at a bear and says thanks, John for not eaten me. And I think the bear refers to Bambi as Vandy, right? There’s also a talking rabbit who is clearly Thumper. He literally thumps his foot on the ground but the bear Bambi is like Thanks John. Will ended up in Little John from Robin Hood was a bear it’s so good. The plants the star brings some flowers to life that are basically pulled directly out of Alice in Wonderland the talking flowers and he also brings or it brings some mushrooms to life. And someone says oh this is crazy and the mushroom scream out I love crazy love crazy. Straight from Frozen. Ashes go at the start of the movie is to become a what? A Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Okay, who was a sorcerer’s apprentice, Mickey, Mickey and Fantasia. Right? Not an accident. As she’s trying to lead magnifico away from the castle she dons a cloak with a purple ribbon similar to the one worn by Fairy Godmother star gifts her with a stick that he turns into a magic wand. She is trying to figure out how to use it and immediately adorns a tree with what to me appears to be the dress that Cinderella tried to make for herself. Okay. Star sprinkles Stardust as magic very similar to tic Tinks pixie dust. Its face is a heart but it also harkens back to Mickey Mouse’s face Adelphi face yes sir like Duffy’s face that’s right. In chance a bunch of stuff and Magnificus dungeon or tower I can’t remember which including a quill that immediately starts to draw what is clearly going to be a Mickey Mouse and never finishes it. We never see it, but your Sim unmistakable. Now the last one that I’ll talk about, is her grandfather saba. First of all, he’s 100 years old. They mentioned that over and over and over again, don’t really well for 100 He really is lest we forget that this is all a celebration of Disney’s 100 years, right. His wish was also rescued from magnifico was to create a song that would inspire generations, we get to the end of the movie, we do not know what that is. And we watched the credits. The credits are beautiful, by the way, because they have the star lit images of all of the great Disney movies that came before which in order I believe, and then post credits, we hear Saba sitting looking over the city, and he starts to play the notes of When you wish upon a star. And it just sort of hits you that this whole movie has been an origin story of sorts you wish for When you wish upon a star and why we use wishes so much throughout the movies. It’s really wonderful. The whole movie is wonderful and happy and joyful. And I just it’s such a feel good movie. I highly recommend and I hate that it took us so long to watch it I think I
Kelli 39:31
think it’s a good idea.
