^ I watched one episode of that Zelda cartoon a while back so I could jog my memory of toddler me watching it. I can confirm it's one of those weird bad 80's things that somehow ends up endearing.

If you enjoyed that, you should check out Captain N. It is truly something to behold.

(EDIT: So we had a quiet night at home last summer---------Sis's best friend invited her, Riv and Em-Bear over for a girls' night, so Maxy and I were watching NetFlix, and it turns out even he gets tired of 'Captain Underpants' eventually. So I looked at the kids' NetFlix queue, and what do you know, the 'Super Mario Bros Super Show' was first on the docket. Maxy was hyped, because we'd already played some of NSMB at that point, so I let it roll, and he loved it. And, I mean, SMBSS is pretty corny and dad-joke-y to me now I'm a terrible old man who nails cats to old boards and runs over them with steamrollers, but I still had fun strolling down Garbagey Nostalgia Lane with the little goon. Some of the jokes still work, like who doesn't love old Cap'n Lou, and Max had a great time. I made us pizza and root beer floats. It was a hoot.

Man. I super love Wes Anderson flicks and traditional non-CGI animation, and so 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' is right in the wheelhouse, man. What a damn good movie. It's so charming, and Wes Anderson has a rare knack for writing relatable characters (mostly lovable, slightly despicable). The visual storytelling is splendid.

(EDIT: I should point out that it isn't the first time I've seen it (saw it in-theatre, watched it on DVD a few times). Iss rill gud, an it's on Disney+, if that's maybe a yes to you heretofore-non-yes guys.)

Last thing I watched was the appended video. Because sometimes after a garbagey night at my garbagey store, it pleases me to watch the best thing ever.

Man. I sure like 'Alice in Wonderland'.

Alice is one of my favouritests, right up there with Luke and George and Steven. Like, she kind of runs the whole emotional gamut. Lot of Disney princesses just kind of sit there beaming vacantly. I like when Alice rolls with the lunacy, and I like it when she inevitably gets cross and stomps off, and I love her sad song. I mean, it's sad, but clearly she isn't just some daffy doofmotron. She's introspective. And she...looks human. I mean, Disney girls these days have weird flat heads and gigantic anime eyes. They cheated a little bit using rotoscope, but she still has great character design.

The scene with the Mad Hatter and March Hare is one of my favourite pieces of animation ever. The whole sequence with the Queen of Hearts is another. (I've never told my mom, because I think it would offend her, but she reminds me of the Queen of Hearts. Dark-haired, sort of stout, hard as nails, tough as a bale of barbed wire. Strong. A little bellicose. Sweet around children, even as she threatens to decapitate them.)
