And Whitney Huston as a maid in a small role.

Theyd have to do their best CGI for that. She's been dead for more than a decade.

My movie suggestions: 1) A story about a homeschooled group who just want to teach their children about American History, Economics and where a few of the students fell in love and married at 18 and by the time they are 25, still in love and happily raising another generation of America First kids. ๐Ÿ˜€

2)A family who adopted a baby who survive an abortion but lost one leg. The child grew up with just one leg, yet nothing would stop him from being normal.

3)A hearing impaired child who was adopted by a Christian family after being in foster care since he was born.

I have more yet I don't want Disney to steal my ideas!! ๐Ÿ˜€

Davy Crockett and Swiss family Robinson were cool. Do they still have frontier land? Changing the SFR tree to Tarzan was a flop, I heard they were converting it back.

Robert Heinlein’s juvenile sci-fi would make great films. “Tunnel in the Sky” would make a great survival action flick. “The Door into Summer” would be a great date night rom-com.

Hell, they tried to parody “Starship Troopers” and it was still quite good and unintentionally hilarious.

Oh yes!

You would, or maybe you wouldn't, be surprised at how many people do not know about Fertig. Of course to do it you would have to include at least some of what the Empire of Japan was doing in the Philippines and some people would be so very annoyed at that.

They were a bunch of sweet fluffy bunnies you know who never committed war crimes and the Americans were just a bunch of racist meanies for picking on them.

Johnny Tremain was good. But it can’t be woke.

Fertig had an advantage in relocating to Mindanao where much of the population was Muslim, the Japs were terrified to leave the populated areas and venture into the bush. The story of course is how he managed to lead such a gang.

Yeah, it might bother some people but the story of Cabanatuan was told in a movie. The Japs didn’t get much more brutal than that.

I grew up around a guy who survived capture after the fall of Bataan. I knew him and knew what happened but never got into details. He worked for my Dad. Equipment operator, drove a truck and all around great man. One of Dad’s go-to guys. I was lucky to grow up around several remarkable men that I never really knew about. I did know how they behaved though. They didn’t complain, if they did nobody ever knew it, I never heard about shell shock and we didn’t know what PTSD was. I am sure they had horrors and terrors but I never knew it. They were mostly very solid, sober, reliable, honorable, often kind and patient men who raised some really good families. I know a lot were probably not that way but the onea who worked with Dad were just about all rock solid.

We hunted with a First Division Marine. He hunted quail with a 20 gauge and I never saw him miss. Great great times. We hunted over his dogs. I started making the hunting trek when I was 6. He would say to Dad, “That little feller is worn out but he keeps going anyway.” He was always patient and nice to me and he was a very respectable man. That was 65 years ago.

Any content that actually appeals to young men would trigger the woke snowflakes that control Disney. This effort is doomed.

Yep.

No reason for them to change because they're still making money.

Right now 150 million Americans are supporting "Woke" Disney.

Ben & Jerry is still in business even though they're leftist.

On the other hand they have lost hundreds of millions on releases that would have brought in millions in profits if they were not laced with woke BS. Also the stock price has taken a big hit. I can only think the major stock holders are on board with โ€œthe causeโ€ because they been very passive. I sure as hell would not be.

They don't care. They're making so much money from Disney World and Disneyland. As long as they're making money from movies like Frozen and Moana, they can get away with making "woke" movies like Snow White. They have the luxury of trying to "educate" us with their agenda.

Park attendance is way down too. Disney is huge but there is a limit.

There are thousands of great novels in print and out of print. Suck up the royalties, and then dig in. For example:

David Morrel's

    Brotherhood of the Rose
    League of Night and Fog
    Fraternity of the Stone

The rest of his stuff is made from a template.

Disney is expensive and thanks to Bidenomics, Americans are broke.

But Trump is back in the White House. So the economy will do better and naturally Disney will profit from increased theme park attendance.

This thread has fallen by the wayside so who'll notice this small post. In spite of its scary woke monsters, Disney nonetheless provides inspiration because there's always a Torah connection forged by the sea. Who's looking there? Genius.

Make movies with masculine heroes -- not necessarily muscle-bound meatheads or ridiculous superheroes, but real men who are heroes because they're willing to suffer and deny themselves for a greater good, detach from their own desires to pursue justice, and lay down their lives to protect those under their charge.

Disney-wise, that was Eric. He gave his life to save Ariel. He's been hiding out here all along:

AMERICA

Seriously, what on Earth happened to Disney. There's alway a Torah analog.

Disneyland opened 70 years ago on July 17, 1955.

Aka "The Happiest Place on Earth", so with that kind of ideal, no wonder all things Disney became a target for corruption and destruction.

Some might have forgotten that quick-thinking Eric saved Ariel -- and all of the trapped souls -- by impaling the Sea Witch on the bowsprit of the shipwreck that she herself had churned up from the deep.

Joseph was a Can-Do spirited young man with big dreams, and

"When You Wish Upon a Star" is widely considered as the signature song of The Walt Disney Company and is often used as such in the production logos at the beginning of many Disney films since the 1980s. (wiki)

Everything and everyone connect because it's a small world after all.

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

Or as the Hebrew title indicates, "Zeh Olam Katan" [ื–ื” ืขื•ืœื ืงื˜ืŸ], but then Haman & Sons are always quick to roll in to chalk everything up to coincidence and/or worthless even toxic babblings and vain imaginations -- puppies in the clouds, asterisms. No there there. Transient, subjective visions. Nothing solid upon which to hang your hat.

(You can see Haman's name right there in the end letters.)

Another "proof" tactic of Haman & Sons, Inc. is to harp on the wrongthink and odious behavior of other people, redefining "getting along" as necessarily accepting and tolerating every evil, perversion and dysfunction. There is obviously no way to get along with awful people who don't follow the rules. They are a serious threat to the magic kingdom.

The constant drumbeat of doom keeps the world from catching on to the scam and living in peace, unable to recognize that a Higher Coordinator has been orchestrating things down to every fine detail for the good of all, even or especially making room for "when there's a will there's a way."

Plenty of loopholes in the vast expanse of space, but they've been stopped up. The garbage never gets taken out.

Problem-solving [by working with what's good and going up from there] doesn't seem to be an option. Maybe it's too much of an effort to polish a diamond in the rough, or too risky to watch what an ugly duckling becomes by his nature in the fullness of time.

Another trick is the can't-live-without established roll of HR (Haman Resources) with its thousands of check boxes, fine print and addendums. After all, nobody wants the "wrong guy" to be miscast as Buzz Lightyear or Top Gun.

The most precious and valuable violin (kinnor) in the world was even dubbed "The Messiah" because

One day Tarisio was discoursing with Vuillaume on the merits of this unknown and marvelous instrument, when the violinist Jean-Delphin Alard, Vuillaume's son-in-law, exclaimed: 'Really, Mister Tarisio, your violin is like the Messiah of the Jews: one always expects him but he never appears'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_Stradivarius

Never. That's the idea, otherwise people might get ideas which are a threat to the kingdom that is the cr@ppiest place on earth.

Meanwhile, as you know, God looks to the heart and that's why David was chosen -- the highly observant ginger man who hails from the house of bread [ื‘ืจื“] -- a man after God's own heart. He was filled with mercy, compassion, and love and attention to every detail so he could make sure to get it right. How many Psalms were inspired by the stars as David was out in the field guarding his sheep?

The Messiah? Never say never, because then his appearance turns into a surprise, heh..

Like father like son, David never went anywhere without his beloved kinnor. Like the chain midrash of the tzohar stone, it was passed down.

Genealogy is like bands -- old members drop out as new ones join up. Well, save for the little one that retains a man's identity down through the ages. Some things never change. If it ain't broke..

Now there's the one to unite all of the brothers in song, to gather together all of the lost and separated strings so they can play together:

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

...our Sages seem to be indicating a positive trait of scent -- that it, uniquely, is the enjoyment of the soul...

"The Happiest Place on Earth" is Disneyland [ื“ื™ืกื ื™ืœื ื“] =

218 =

reyach [ืจื™ื—].

...Moshiach will not judge only by the "sight of his eyes or the hearing of his ears." In other words, he will not only consider one's immediate circumstances. Rather, Moshiach will use his extraordinary divine sensitivity to uncover the essence of each individual, to restore him to righteousness.

Healing the World

Moshiach Will Smell and Judge

Now we can walk!
Now we can run!
Now we can stay all day in the Sun!
Just you and me. And I can be, part of your world.

The Little Mermaid | Happy Ending Scene

On a personal floral note, right now the landscape near the house is filled with "Baby Davids" in full-flower; i.e. all of the butterfly bushes (that's simply their name: Buddleja davidii, ื‘ื•ื“ืœื™ืช ื“ื•ื“) that reseeded just in this past year (it was a mild winter).

I left them alone to do their thing.

Besides the bright color and all of the hummingbirds and butterlies they attract, their scent is wonderful.

Inspiring. Have a most pleasant day.
