Yep.  Other things aside, I actually think “Fathers of daughters” is absolutely a target audience of Disney’s modern offerings, considering that they are now and increasingly showing us how goddamn proud we’d be of our daughters to be as smart, strong, and independent as these protagonists.

Has she seen “Tangled Ever After”?  

The competition Mother Gothel does with Rapunzel to make sure she wins the “I love you most” conversation is chilling.

Plus Gothel’s villain song is fantastic.

I’d have to revisit the others to see if I fully agree with your rankings, but I’m definitely on board with your first two slots.  Moana is a masterpiece start to finish, and for my money it’s in the conversation with The Lion King as the best Disney has ever done.

“The lantern sequence itself is one of the most gorgeous scenes in Disney animation history”

100% agreed. It was the first one since “Circle of Life” to truly take my breath away the first time I saw it, and it remains a favorite even though the Frozens and especially Moana have had moments comparably strong. I would…

I don’t think it did come out of nowhere.  From the very opening narration it explained that she’d gotten infused with the magic from that whatever plant, and while it had only expressed itself through her hair/song, there’s no reason to think that it couldn’t be expressed in other ways.  Plus, I think that there’s a…

I wouldn’t use that many greater-thans, but I do agree that while I love Frozen just like any feeling human being should, Tangled does get the slight nod from me in this matchup.

The moment you try it, you will understand it.

““just like the performers in these old shows, someday I will survive myself in reruns.””

godDAMN.

No - it’s a totally redesigned board (look on youtube for teardown videos to see what the Pi4 inside this looks like).  

That sentence, these days, is more a testament to how easy everything else is.

I like how he was yelling “none of you want to try it!  none of you want to try it!” and then was proven quite wrong indeed.

We gonna talk about Joel Embiid’s decision to be the face of this?

“It’s not (officially) clear yet if the rest of the Guardians—Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, raccoon”

That’s rabbit, you uncultured swine.

Yeah, it’s an annoying caveat to any discussion of the prequels that we have to note TPM had this, the single best scene in any of them (and it’s not close, either).

It’s also a little odd that they called it “The Clone Wars” when there was clearly only one.

I always love the “you will not replace us” thing.  Uh, correct.  The space you once occupied will be left empty, without any loss in value to the world.

I vividly remember, within moments of the opening of The Force Awakens, thinking to myself “holy shit, actual acting in Star Wars?  I haven’t seen that since 1983!”

I’m actually legitimately sad that they didn’t ever bring in Rosie O’Donnell to play Trump, because that would have set him off like nothing else possibly could.
