Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts While Watching series, where we dig up very-to-kinda old Disney media and react to it in real time. Culture then, meet culture now. FIGHT! (Kidding, kidding. Mostly. 😜) This week we’re going back to what I once called the ugliest decade, and I stand by it: the ’80s! Not that nothing positive...

I’ll tell you why I signed up for the Princess Half Marathon Weekend Fairytale Challenge this year. It wasn’t the featured princesses – it was the addition of the Disney villains. Yes, it’s Princess Week, but let’s take things in an alternate direction, shall we? IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD I know I’m not alone in this. It’s hardly...

Here on the Disney blogosphere, I am one obsessive among many, and a middling one at that. But out in the real world, amongst the normals, I am That Disney Girl. The one you avoid when you do not want to talk about Disney… and who you run to if you need to talk to someone about Disney. It’s...

Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts While Watching series, where we unearth (mostly vintage) Disney media and react to it in real time! I accidentally saved the perfect video for this installment. We’re coming up on the end of Disney’s WDW50 “celebration,” and having now watched it, I can say that Walt Disney World: A Dream Come True...

WARNING: This post contains a major spoiler for Meet the Robinsons. If you have not yet seen this movie, stop what you’re doing and watch it right now. Please? As this post will posit, it is SO underrated. Here’s the Disney+ link. You’re welcome. I am a bad aunt: there is a dearth of games on my phone. While...

Got a minute for some nostalgia on nostalgia on nostalgia for today’s Happy Friday post? Yeah? Donald Duck will be there – yeah, I figured you’d like that. Also we’re doing some math – NO WAIT COME BACK! Not math math. More like “your teacher is hungover and therefore will be replacing the lesson plan with a movie” math....

Because everything looks better spackled over with Disney-ness! As a card-carrying ADHD kid, my approach to organization is simple: first, make a mess. Second, become overwhelmed by the very idea of cleaning up said mess and go do something else, ideally in a different room where you can pretend Step 1 never happened.. There is no Step 3. No,...

Hello and welcome to 2022! I’m sure it some ways it feels much like 2021 so far; that is to say, like a sequel we never asked for to a movie we did not like. Still, already 2022 has one thing going for it, and that’s the return of the WDW Marathon, my dearest love. Obviously I can’t embark...

It has recently come to my attention that that seminal piece of Disney musical history, the brilliant “Sister Suffragette” brought so beautifully to life by Glynis Johns as Mrs. Banks, is omitted from the Broadway version of Mary Poppins. This is a TRAVESTY and I will tell you why. But first, should we just watch it real quick? Let’s...

After dipping my toes into my first proper Disneybound a few months ago, I’m back with an all-new 101 Dalmatians-inspired outfit! Guys, 101 Dalmatians was my JAM when I was a little kid. It came out over two decades before I was born, but I didn’t care. Ariel and Belle were great and all, but they couldn’t compete with...
