I wouldn’t have minded the backtracking, if not for the map being pretty much unreadable. It was almost impossible to plan a route to that one point where you missed something. Quick travel certainly helps, but I hope they sort out the map out too.

huh, SNL is huh “live” - that’s what the “L” stands for in SNL

poor baby

If you didn’t mention Microsoft directly I would have thought you were describing EA

They’re excellent examples of level design. Anyone making video games could benefit from studying those park layouts.

That “show line” is important at Disneyland as well. My wife and I were riding the train around the park, and there’s a point where you can “kind of” see backstage, where the parade floats start moving from backstage near It’s A Small World into the park. There’s actually a railroad crossing that they have to go…

You are all wrong, NWO was a Hulk Hogan/Scott Hall/Kevin Nash thing.

The bit with the Mortal Kombat game was also a fun nod to the Left Behind DLC, where Ellie finds a broken fighting game, and Riley guides her through an imaginary playthrough of it.

Evil Queen wins this contest hands down.

Agreed. It’s not just a twist for twist’s sake. King Candy’s misdirect works so well because the clues are clever

Thanks for putting this so well. One thing that really stands out about Gaston: his villain song. Almost every villain song is of course sung by the villain, but Gaston’s is mostly sung by OTHER PEOPLE. Gaston gets a little bit in the middle (mostly about how many eggs he eats) but for the most part, it’s the entire…

Not the main villain, but I liked both iterations of Kaa in The Jungle Book. That is, Sterling Holloway, partly because it’s fun to see Mowgli being menaced by Winnie the Pooh... and Scarlett Johansson in the 2016 Jon Favreau-directed one. Johansson does fine voice work (see Her) and it was cool to switch the genders…

Claude Frollo is top 3 at minimum.  Tony Jay was a legendary voice actor but he was never better in the role of demented religious horny judge from hell.  Hellfire goddamn it!

The Turbo reveal was brilliant. Just a few subtle clues if you were really paying attention, otherwise it caught you completely off-guard.

The Emperor’s New Groove was originally going to be a musical called Kingdon of the Sun (with songs by Sting). This whole concept got thrown out about halfway through production and they basically restarted the movie from scratch. But some of the unused songs from the original plot still exist and there is a KILLER…

This blatant anti-Hunchback bias will not stand.  

And who could forget the best rendition of it:

Baby Mine, You’ll Be In My Heart, and Aloha ʻOe will trigger the waterworks for me, every time.

And not only that, the stories age with their audience too.  I was already an adult, but I like that concept in contrast to fiction that is frozen in time.
