I direct you to the ‘other languages’ section of the song Let It Go:

The translations of what’s used elsewhere are quite excellent :smiley:

this is the best verse of all time:

Now when you pick a paw-paw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue ?

Found out the other day that I’m likely to be attending a wedding at Disneyworld for two adults next November.

Really not sure how to process this information :no_mouth::no_mouth::no_mouth:

Haha, you can: embrace the cloying, saccharine horror of it all, maybe to an excessive degree (dress up in a ton of merchandise and be overly excited about literally everything), or be the cantankerous geezer who likes to pop all the kid’s balloons and piss on Goofy! Or just don’t go and avoid the whole debacle!

Unfortunately I think it’s going to have to be a healthy combination of the two. Dress up as Goofy and systematically take down the real one… and drink all the alcohol

Never really loved a Disney film due to a stunted childhood. Think My Neighbour Totoro and Ponyo from Studio Ghibli are better kids films than anything Disney have done that I’ve seen (Ghibli have other better films but they’re for a slightly older audience I think).

Totoro is a far more earnest celebration of childhood wonder. Maybe Disney had that attitude at some point, but they’ve cynically monopolised ‘magic’ for a very long time now. You can trust Ghibli’s films a lot more.

God yeah, that film broke me!

Or you could just like both studios films

Well I do, but I genuinely like Ghibli films, whereas with Disney it’s mostly about nostalgia I think. I wasn’t trying to make it so black and white, just observing a discrepancy.

I’m not going to sit here and say Miyazaki’s films have no appeal to young children, or that some kids will love them way more than Disney, but generally speaking most children are going to get more to grips with the all-singing, all-dancing sparkle of something like The Lion King or Frozen or The Little Mermaid over the slow moving melancholy tone of most of Totoro. Kids have got apps these days you know, they’re not going to sit watching people stood at a bus stop in the rain for 5 minutes when they could be watching a camp wisecracking snowman getting beaten up and singing songs.

Give (child version of) me a creepy giant grinning catbus over a singing snowman every day imo.

(i guess i agree, but this is the adults-appreciating-childrens-movies thread, so in this world Ghibli is objectively better)

On the subject of Ghibli, I’ve watched The Wind Rises 3 times in the last 2 weeks. It’s absolutely stunning.

My 4-year-old definitely wouldn’t get on with Ghibli films as easily as he does Disney yet, but when he does appreciate them he’ll love them like a motherfucker. Mostly holding off because they’re so much better in Japanese with English subtitles, and he’s only just started reading.
