Cartoon Corner- Chicken Little

So I watched this a couple days ago and mostly forgot it.  Rather than do the simple thing of watching it again, I think writing things out to remember them will more accurately capture what this movie is about.  Chicken Little is in the running for worst film of the Disney Animation Studios canon, and while the other two most-cited contenders aren’t movies I’ve seen, that’s definitely a fair statement.  And the reasons why it fails are best illustrated by this lack of memorability.

Cartoon Corner- Gravity Falls (Season 2)

Dipper Pines and the Quest for Manliness (Part 2).

Cartoon Corner- Gravity Falls (Season 1)

The thing about perpetually coming late to the party, especially for a completed series like Gravity Falls, is you tend to get people’s impressions based on how things end, not how they’re received as they air.  So in that respect the oddest thing about Season 1 is how much of a slow burn it is.  ‘course, considering it spent a year and a half airing 20 episodes, and included a lot of overt elements to intrigue fans between episodes, it’s a fair argument to say that watching all of them over the span of a few days isn’t the intended means.

Celeste- A Trans Narrative?

Sometimes when you make a deliberate allegory in your story, the sort of pedantic nerd that analyses things will take that as a challenge.  I mean, if you spend a lot of time looking at subtext for hidden things works without overt meaning are about, you start seeing all the ways things that do claim to be about things don’t exactly line up with that thing.

Hi, it’sa me, CK!  So let’s talk about Celeste, seemingly the big Indie Game Hit of 2018.

Cartoon Corner- Steven Universe (Season 1)

Steven Universe is the show humanity needed, and I hope it wasn’t too late.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga- So what’s an RPG anyways?

jRPG nuts often talk about the Super Nintendo as the golden age of the genre.  And like most nerd things, that discussion centers on defining a holy trinity.  Of course, because the SNES happened 25 years ago and basically everyone was between “literal child” and “not born” at the time, the trinity is really two firm selections (Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger) with a rotating third cast member depending on the personal biases of the speaker.  Myself, I like to slot Super Mario RPG in there.

Cartoon Corner- Incredibles 2

So, after chewing on this a few hours this morning, I started coming up with crazy theories.  Buuuut it’s also out in theaters now, so let’s talk some basics first before we get down to that.
