“Lilo and Stitch” 2002

Deleted Scene

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND

I desperately need to understand

WHY

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people??  The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know. 

[snoozlebee]

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY

[coelasquid]

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.

When Veilguard comes out, please keep it in the back of your mind every single time you interact with Varric and Lucanis that their writer got laid off with little to no warning and that she is and always will be a Dragon Age legend and one of the reasons why the franchise has stayed afloat for as long as it has

[m4gehand]

Now HERE is a good and valid reason to criticize Bioware/EA, and a really important story to share around while DA4 has the buzz it does!!!

Corporations need to be called out on their anti-worker bullshit regardless of the quality of the products they produce.

[megafreeman]

Hey so remember that this is one of the worst layoffs to ever happen because

Bioware management denied to give the laid off workers the severance they were contractually obligated to give. They were entitled to one month's pay for every year they worked at Bioware but were given far less than that (Mary Kirby specifically worked for Bioware for 17 years).

The laid off Dragon Age devs are in this unique position unlike any other game developer. Since Veilguard isn't out yet, they are still under the NDA and can't share the work they've done on the game for their portfolio. Because Veilguard has been in development for 10 years, with none of them working on anything else, that essentially leaves a 10 year gap in their portfolio.

Lioness Steals a Photographer’s Camera, Gives It to Her Cubs as a New Toy

[pets-their-people]

Photographing wild animals has certain risks. But often, the potential hazards are worth it—something photographer Barbara Jensen Vorster can attest to first hand. In July 2018, she was snapping pictures of a lion pride in Botswana, until a local lioness stole Vorster’s Canon 7D after she accidentally dropped it on the ground. (The “thud” piqued the big cat’s interest.) Luckily, Vorster had another camera on hand and captured what happened next.

Once the camera dropped, the lioness mother growled and approached Voster’s group. They withdrew to their vehicle and watched the drama unfold. “The camera fell with the lens looking up,” Voster recalled, “she gently flipped the camera on its side and picked it up by the barrel of the lens.” The lioness then brought it to her cubs who started to playfully pounce on it. “They dragged it through the dirt, chewed on the lens hood and then, fortunately, like most kids, soon grew tired with their new toy.”

Eventually, Voster was able to fetch her abandoned camera. She found that it still functioned fine, but the lioness left her signature. “There are two huge teeth marks on the rubber focus rings of the lens and small teeth marks on the plastic lens hood, both of which I decided not to replace.” She spent roughly £200 getting the camera fixed, but the cost was worth the photos she snapped that day. Calling it a “priceless experience,” she also puts it into perspective: “What photographer can boast that their lens had been in a lion’s mouth?”

Stop reading popular books by Zionist authors!

This includes Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson, SJM, Rebecca Yarros, Chloe Walsh, Gabrielle Zevin, Pierce Brown, Carissa Broadbent, Rachel Lynn Solomon, Michelle Hodkin, Taylor Reid Jenkins, etc.

Boycott Zionists’ works!

[spacelazarwolf]

neil gaiman is jewish and has explicitly stated he’s not a zionist, and his stance is that the violence should stop and people should be safe.

brandon sanderson visited israel in 2019 and one of his books is apparently influenced by multiple different conflicts, including israel/palestine.

sarah j maas has not posted at all abt israel or palestine, but she is jewish and has visited israel in the past.

rebecca yarros was harassed into making this statement:

chloe walsh planned to stop in israel on a book tour in collaboration with an israeli romance author, and people flooded her with harassment, including telling her that the baby she lost just a year ago deserved to die.

gabrielle zevin is jewish and has not made any statements about israel but one of the characters in one of her books is israeli.

pierce brown made a statement condemning the october 7 attack.

i found literally nothing on the internet about carissa broadbent and israel except a random tik tok accusing her of supporting israel.

rachel lynn solomon is jewish and i couldn’t find any statements from her at all about israel, and only found one tweet from months ago accusing her of being a zionist with no evidence.

michelle hodkin is jewish and i also couldn’t find any statements from her, only posts on social media accusing her of being a zionist.

taylor reid jenkins has called herself “half jewish” and has also not made any statements, the only “evidence” i could find was a tik tok claiming she “has only posted one video and it was from an israeli father.”

half the people on your list of “zionist authors” are jewish, and none of these authors have made explicit statements of support for israel. i need y’all to examine why you are more focused on targeting people who you think are “zionists” rather than people who have actually shown outspoken support for israel. i need you to think about what would compel you to focus on some shadowy unspoken force trying to manipulate you rather than the glaringly obvious problems that are right in front of your face.

a lot of y’all are unironically starting to sound a lot like germans in the 30’s who called for a boycott of jewish businesses and anyone who supported them. you are not being activists you are being bigots and hiding it behind a liberation movement — a movement you are an active detriment to. if you want to help, donate, call your representatives, support palestinian businesses, have difficult conversations with your community. stop wasting your time compiling lists of (((secret zionists))) to “boycott” and harass.

[spacelazarwolf]

here’s the extensive and extremely eloquent statement he put out on his blog.

y’all literally just play telephone with people’s lives based on random social media accusations and call yourselves activists. all of these things were easily googleable, and yet you still continue to spread misinformation like your life depends on it. it’s fucking embarrassing.

Oda's message about Akira Toriyama paassing away.

"It is too early. The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again. I have admired him so much since I was a child.

I remember the day he called me by name for the first time, the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto on the way back home. I also remember the last conversation we had.

He was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go global. It was like watching a hero going forward. For not only manga artists but also the creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood. His existence is like a big tree.

For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, the closer I got to Toriyama's works, the more I realised that they had a greater presence. Scary. But I am just happy to see the easy-going man himself again. Because we love Toriyama-sensei on a blood level. With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind, I pray for his soulful rest in peace.

May heaven be the joyous world just as you envisioned it." (X)
