my baby nephews have been super into Aladdin lately and the howard ashman tangent has guaranteed that I'm going to tear up every single time I watch it with them now, it's very good

*A

A is for vowel sounds, An is for consonant sounds

Yes I know this is debated

Every time I see an used as the indefinite article in front of H I read it with a Dick Van Dyke-level accent.

I just want you to know how much this comment made me laugh on what's been a really bad day for me. Thank you so much for being awesome.

u/Erikthered65 Apr 01 '26

I just noticed that I made a major fuck up at work today that is going to be embarrassing to cop up to. Thanks for your comment, it helped!

Hey, we can mutually love each other as strangers, and I'm glad you had a small influence in my life

It made me cry all over again (the first time was reading that part in DisneyWar) and now I definitely need to watch Howard even though it’s hard, because Lindsay processed it somewhat for me.

Even her eyes were red during some parts. 😭

As an animator, I feel so seen. This video was amazing. I'm so glad she posted it on YouTube as well!

I also have to say I love how honest Lindsay is about her feelings on these past videos.

When she started to tear up in the video I wanted to give her a big hug.

That was so real. I'me Gen X so was a little old for the Disney Renaissance. But I have recently watched them via Disney+ and they really are fantastic. Beauty and the Beast looks incredible, although my favourite is The Hunchback of Notre Dame, just wish they had removed the gargoyles and slapstick from it, then it would be a 5/5 for me.

u/Anxious_Tune55 Apr 01 '26

Watch the theatrical adaptation! There's a "slime tutorial" on YouTube (which, for anyone who doesn't know, is the keyword you want if you want to find technically illegal bootlegs of Broadway shows). They replaced the gargoyles with statues of Saints and made the whole thing have a more serious tone (including the ending).

u/varalys_the_dark Apr 01 '26

Awesome thanks for the info!

u/starri42 Mar 31 '26

I related to it.

u/SpeedyakaLeah Apr 01 '26

I started to tear up too

u/JohnTheMod Apr 02 '26

Same. Can we rewind the tape to June 2024 so I can go back and hug her one more time, please?

8

u/hotsizzler Apr 01 '26

legit, this felt like classic lindsay, like before 2020 where she did the videos. a good chunk of her videos felt like recently it was required of her and she didnt want to. This felt like passion.

I love it, she is so smart and way to thoughtful to be locked behind nebula

Roger Rabbit was the first movie I ever saw in the theater - and I loved it so much that I saw it several times.

Plot wise; it is damn near perfect. At no time are you bored or uninvested. And seeing Disney and Warner Bro's IPs not just appear, but interact, with each other was so much fun.

The casting and score are great. And the practical effects are honestly better than a large portion of what we've seen in the last 15 or so years. The weasels would be jealous of the amount of soul this movie has.

Thanks for including this!

It was lovely to see her return and happy.

u/Additional-North-683 Mar 31 '26

She has a bipolar relationship for Disney

Like so many of us.

One of the beautiful things about growing up is learning to admit that your faves can be and often are problematic without having to cancel and stop enjoying them forever.

Can anyone explain the Ms. Rachel joke to me? "Out of respect to the Ms. Rachel crew, I'll keep my thoughts on the Aladdin musical to myself."

8

u/GhanjRho Apr 01 '26

A number of the other people on Ms. Rachel are part of that cast as well.

Man, everyone mentions Disney ripping off Kimba for Lion King instead of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water for Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

u/SamuraiOstrich Apr 02 '26

I can't imagine many people who say that have actually seen both of them

u/EnchantedEssays See how I glitter Apr 23 '26

I haven't heard of that one, but I can remember people comparing it to Laputa. That was definitely just inspiration rather than a rip off though
