Disenchanted Trailer Ramblings

Okay, so... Enchanted is such an important movie to me. I saw it on my fourth birthday, and it was the first movie that I ever saw in theaters, so it holds a special place in my heart.

I have been waiting for this sequel for fifteen years now, and I’m so excited! I’m kinda disappointed that it’s not gonna be in theaters, though-- like I said, it was the first movie that I saw in theaters, and I started college this year, so it would have been like things coming full circle.

But, regardless, I’m still very hyped and the trailer was better than I could’ve imagined.

Barely organized ramblings under the cut.

What a way to open! That little melody that Giselle sings is just such a distinct memory from my childhood, and hearing it just warms my heart.

Speaking of Giselle, she’s so gorgeous!

Robert recalling how he and Giselle met makes me smile. These two are such an underrated couple, and I hope that this sequel will bring them more attention and love.

GISELLE AND ROBERT HAD A BABY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THEY HAD A BABY!

I’m sorry, but I’ve been hoping that this movie would introduce a baby in some way or another-- though if it were up to me, they would have three or four babies by now.

Morgan’s so grown up now!

EDWARD AND NANCY, MY SWEET BABIES!

Just Maya Rudolph’s character having the surname “Monroe,” my brain goes to “Linda Monroe, president of Hatchetfield’s boating society--”

I’m nervous about what’s going on with Giselle and Morgan. Their bond was one of my favorite parts of the first movie, and it scares me to see how and/or if they’ve grown apart since then.

PIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NANCY’S GETTING A MUSICAL NUMBER! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure how I feel about the Dark!Giselle that they’re hinting at....

Nancy and Edward reaching for each other... my heart...

Also... 2-D ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss 2-D so much.

In the words of the Princess in Twisted, bring back the 2-Ds!

In conclusion...

Thanks for enduring my ramblings. Now enjoy this GIF I found of Giselle with her baby.

Yesterday’s post was sort of an odd duck in terms of what you expect to find on the cover of Space Gamer. This is more like it  another installment in an endless series of paintings riffing on Dean Ellis and Chris Foss. I can stare at Ellis and Foss paintings forever. Most Space Gamer covers...aren’t up to that level. But there is a sort of beauty in their quantity. This one is by Robert Phillips.

Inside is mostly dedicated to wargames and stuff I have no frame of reference for. The most interesting thing for me is the review of RuneQuest, which is sort of amusingly flabbergasted by how unusual a game it is.
