Have you ever tried to tackle a subject in your series, that you were uncomfortable with. For instance, I’ve been wanting to do a Can We Talk about on Maleficent. As there is a scene in that film, that is a metaphor for rape. But each time, I try to type something on this article, I just find that I can’t bring myself to say anything.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney, it’s been a while since I’ve done a Sofia review and well, it’s time for another one as we take a look at Princesses To The Rescue! With that out of the way, let’s begin.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney and today, we are heading back to the parks as we go under the sea, where’s everything better to take a look at the various ways that The Little Mermaid is represented in the various Disney Parks. I gotta be honest, I am really excited for this one as Mermaid is one of my Top 3 Favorite Animated Disney films. I’ve been a fan of it since I was a little kid. Ariel is a character that has always been special to me because before Rapunzel came along, she was my favorite princess character. Which is why one certain attraction that I’ll be talking about just left me infuriated because of how bad it was. Some of you may know, which one I’m referring to as I did a Top 6 on it during the A Look at Disney World summer event from last year. Thankfully though, there are quite a few other attractions that feature Ariel. With that out of the way, let’s begin.

Here’s another old Little Mermaid  article.

Man this has got to be one of the most obscure things that I’ve looked at to date. First off, I’d like to thank DisneyOtoko for telling me about this. Little Mermaid’s Island was live action show with puppets that was proposed in the ’90s by none other than the father of The Muppets, Jim Henson. Two episodes were shot but never aired. However you can find a short video of it online. Now this article will be a bit different as it won’t be a regular review but rather just my thoughts on it and there are a lot of pictures to be found, thanks to Muppet Wiki Now the first thing I noticed is that this show was really and I mean really loose with continuity in regards to the film as Prince Eric is nowhere to be found yet not only do Grimbsy and Max appear in this show but it appears that the characters know them. Now this wouldn’t be an issue with me but Ariel is still a mermaid in this show and in the film, she didn’t meet these characters until after she was turned into a human by Ursula.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney. Currently, on Nickelodeon, the 21st season of Power Rangers, Power Rangers: Super Megaforce (who came up with that title?) is airing and I have been enjoying it as it harkens back to the Zordon era of the show and it is a celebration of the show’s 20th anniversary. I’m sure, some of you may be wondering why I’m covering Power Rangers on a Disney blog. Well, for a time Disney owned Power Rangers and unlike what some fans like to say, the Disney seasons aren’t that bad. Though, it doesn’t seem like Disney actually wanted the show as they attempted multiple times to cancel it and also moved production to New Zealand, where ironically, the show is banned. Anyways, I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not, I’d ever take a look at Power Rangers on this blog but considering that Disney owned them one point and even had plans for a cartoon (wouldn’t that be Voltron?) and they were in MGM Studios, I’m comfortable covering the Disney era on this blog. But first,

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney and Classic Shorts Showcase is back after being on hiatus for a long period of time and I have to thank my friend, Chris Pretty aka Pretty Boy aka Ratin8tor for pointing me to this short. This short, Parade of The Award Nominees marks a historical event for Mickey Mouse as this was the first short to depict Mickey in color. Now interestingly, this short was made not made for public viewing, it was made for the 1932 Academy Awards Banquet depicting all of the nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress in caricatures. This short would later be released as part of the Walt Disney Treasures collection of shorts. And another important thing that came from this short is that this is the first piece of animation that Joe Grant worked on for Disney. Grant’s body of work is massive including Der Furher’s Face, being a co-writer for Dumbo, he also worked on Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Fantasia 2000 (he also worked on the original), and many others. He worked there up until he died in 2005, right before his 97th birthday. His last two films that he worked on were Chicken Little and Up, both of which were dedicated to his memory.
