This week's movie, Lilo and Stitch marks the last gasp of the 90s renaissance of Disney hand-animation, and it's a departure from that model in so many ways, not the least of which is the great noses. We also talk about the impact of white tourism on Hawai'i, the T4T relationship that is Jumba and Pleakley, and our most autistic main character to date.

It's the dawn of the 17th century and we're on our way to colonize and disrupt some perfectly happy native folks. Despite the colonialism, this was better than expected. We discuss how cultures trick young men into throwing away their lives, the central myths of colonialism and genocide, and also some pretty trees and colors we liked a lot.

This week we're talking about the first of the film that sparked the 90's Disney renaissance--Little Mermaid. This one is full of AoG classic hits--authoritarian parenting, abandoning platonic relationships for romantic ones, and weird body issues. Also some new hotness like serious trans vibes, having six older sisters, and who's the hottest Disney prince.

This week we're laying more foundation for our talk about Disney animation, and in this one we're talking about the cement itself--the material that built that house of Disney--the original princess movies (plus Alice in Wonderland). We talk about the inherent racism in noses, the unexpected Tolkien influence, and how we wish we had mice to make us dresses.
