Just found out that the highlighted "R" of March in mother oyster's calendar refers to the ancient traditional rule of eating oysters only in months with an "R" to manage health risks and flavor quality. The more you know 🦪

Disney owes us a movie with Cinderella as a mom! 🥹 She has the biggest maternal instincts out of all the original princesses.

I like the idea that, without Hades to redirect them, they'd have kept walking in the opposite direction for months while constantly screaming "ZEUS !!!"

The lady in Tom and Jerry who is always partially seen is named 'Mammy Two Shoes'. This scene from the short 'Saturday Evening Puss' is the only time her face is shown.

In many early disney narratives, scenes of cleaning are not incidental, they function as a form of visual shorthand. The association between domestic work and moral worth reflects older cultural ideals, where patience, diligence & self-sacrifice were considered defining virtues.

1984 short film Orpheus and Eurydice by animator Lesley Keen🏺 The entire film is masterfully animated in the exact style of ancient Greek red-figure and black-figure pottery. Without a single word of dialogue, characters glide across the screen like a rotating classical vase.

Interestingly, despite being Hollywood's two most recognizable "bad guys," Edward G. Robinson and Peter Lorre never actually shared the silver screen together in a live-action feature film, making Racketeer Rabbit (1946) all the more memorable.

This prologue scene in Treasure Planet where Jim while solar surfing, cuts the engine and plummets always floors me because of how accurately it treats the physics of a free fall. The sheer sense of weight, speed, and genuine air resistance they managed to capture. The violent camera shake perfectly mimicking how you'd experience it in a real dive.

I will never shut up about the sketchy, textured look of 1960s Disney animation. There is so much warmth, soul in these rough, hand-drawn frames of The Sword in the Stone.

Watching this scene as a kid, I just thought, "Oh, bummer, Wendy got old, but hey, new adventures with Jane!" Watching it as an adult, it hits differently. As a kid, you view the story through Peter’s eyes. Growing up feels like a choice or a mistake. But watching it as an adult, you view it through Wendy. You suddenly understand the crushing weight of how fast time moves, and you feel that bittersweet sting of realizing your own childhood is gone.

The way the shotgun barrel lowers just an inch, his eyes widening as the anger drains out of him, like, "wait....is this actually that one fox?" And then Copper steps between them with that tiny, broken whimper. Breaks me every time.

40 years to this hybrid genius of 2D & 3D. For the Big Ben climax in 'The Great Mouse Detective', Disney wanted dynamic camera moves through Big Ben’s gears, but in 1986 there was no digital compositing. Solution? 3D wireframes plotted by literal ballpoint pen machines, xeroxed onto cels, hand-painted, then filmed with 2D characters layered on top. Animation is supposed to be about these creative innovations, not soulless shortcuts.
