“After an article reported that #RachelZegler “trashed” the production of Disney’s #SnowWhite due to her stance on #Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with #Disney and former #Israeli army soldier #GalGadot.”

Today in Labor History March 24, 1901: Ub Iwerks was born. Iwerks was one of the great early animators. He got his start working for Walt Disney. He animated most of the early Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony cartoons, including Steamboat Willie. However, he couldn’t stand Disney’s dictatorial style and left in 1930, opening his own study and creating other classics like Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper. In 1937, Leon Schlesinger hired Iwerks to animate several Looney Tunes starring Porky Pig. He later did special effects work for Hitchcock’s “The Birds” and Disney’s “Song of the South.”

I wasn't sure it was going to make it, but Captain America: Brave New World crossed the 400 million mark this weekend. It should overtake Eternals this week.

Meanwhile Snow White opened to 43 million. The user reviews have been scathing, some of which I'm convinced have not even seen the film. There's no way it's a 0 out of 10 film. With all the resentment towards anything Disney over the past 4 years, the casting, the controveries over the personal opinions of the main stars, and those who can't get beyond it's been made at all, there's a lot going against the film. It is, however, a good film, from a good director, and it's better than other live action remakes from the past few years.

Sure it's not for everyone, but it's far from the worst film ever that some are making it out to be.

It is a musical, and it very much feels like a play that was made into a movie.

I'm watching The Electric State and it's really not that great.

I started to think about the movie's directors, The Russo Brothers and their non-MCU directorial work.

It turns out their work outside of the MCU has been pretty dismal. Leaving me to wonder if their MCU work was good not because of them, but because of the heavy-handed control that Disney/Marvel exerts on the MCU movies.

Thoughts?

Bob Iger just destroyed Walt Disney's, Roy Disney's, Donn Tatum's, Card Walker's, Ron Miller's, Frank Wells's, Michael Ovitz's, Michael Eisner's, and Bob Chapek's legacies ... to be fair.

Pay-Check is no longer Mr. Grumpy and must be Happy.

[Has anyone else noticed that Happy looks like Alfred E. Neuman?
DC Comics should sue. ]

We knocked out all the other parks over the last few days. Today we finally made it into Magic Kingdom!

We made a mad rush to the Tron light cycle ride. I have heard great things but ultimately no nothing about it. I am prepared for awesomeness! 😎
