The Black Cauldron: the only Disney animated film to initially contain sequences of rotting human flesh. The 80s were an interesting time for children's movies.

Debbie Rennold’s granddaughter Billie Lourd is now following in the footsteps of her mother Carrie Fisher and is acting on a hit tv show and the new Star Wars film. Liza Minilli is the daughter of Judy Garland and she’s been acting and singing since the 70s at least. This is nothing new.

Considering I attended the same Univeristy as Kate, I’m pretty sure she made plenty of dirty jokes herself in her time there.

Part of me has always wanted to get my dna analyzed another part is afraid of what family secrets it might reveal. My family recently found out that my grandfather spent his whole life lying about his mother’s maiden name and nationality to hide from everyone that he was part Chinese. It was a pretty big shock to my…

Best picture can be chosen by everyone, other categories ike Best animated film can only be chosen by the animation branch of the academy. Acting nominees can only be chosen by actors within the academy and so on.

I’ve been looking into this and they have been making an effort to include more diverse members in the past couple years. Just off hand in the acting category I remember them recently adding Lucy Liu, Jennifer Lopez, Danny Trejo, and David Oyellowo. There were more but those were ones I remeber off hand. It’s slow but…

I’ve named all my cat’s after Disney characters. Tubbs is the only one I’ve named after a villain so far... Ursula.

Let’s not make the mistake of assuming that all the Academy of motion Picture Arts and Sciences does is vote on the Oscars. They make a huge effort towards preserving films, both old and new, as well as fund and provide educational opportunities for future filmmakers. They’re even opening a museum soon. The Academy…

The costumes for Carol we’re gorgeous, but I’m kind of rooting for Cinderella on that one. I got to see some of the costumes on display at Harrods last year and they were breathtaking in person.

Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3 are the only animated films to ever get a Best Picture nomination

A friend just told me that this is the 4th famous death we’ve had recently so she thinks there are two more coming. Then she asked me how Betty White is doing and I nearly smacked her.

The Best Animated Feature category is not the kiddie table. Inside Out deserved a Best Pictute nomination. That's the biggest snub in my book.

“Fairy god-girlfriend”. I’m stealing that, that is so me. The amount of guys I’ve had to attempt to teach to cook and sew is astonishing.

I was rooting for Kendall to land a US Vogue cover and pull out a win from behind, but no luck. Oh well, maybe next year.

I’m in my 20s and it kills me that so few people my age ever learned how to sew. What do they do when they lose a button? Throw it out? I was lucky enough to come from a long line of seamstresses, so not only can I repair my own clothes, but I’ve managed to start a nice side business making and altering costumes for…

Everyone always recomemds Burt’s bees, but it contains lanolin which I’m allergic to. Eos doesn’t contain lanolin, but it sucks. It’s basically impossible to find a good cheap lip balm I’m not allergic to.

I hear Gaga’s a big fan of Old Hollywood stars. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was somewhat intentional.

I teach dance classes, and I once mentioned to one of my students that Alice in Wonderland was one of my favourite books. They were completely shocked to discover that Walt Disney did not invent Wonderland.

Fun Fact: Although the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty only gives credit to Perrault, the story is actually way closer to the Grimm version. They credited Perrault to tie it in better with their version of Cinderella which was actually based on Perrault’s version.

I keep picturing him attached to one of the walls of the mansion like the crew members on the Flying Dutchman in the Pirates of the Carribbean films.
