I love this classic (90′s?) tshirt art, and it also supports a hyper-nerdy/alternate reality subtext of the Magic Kingdom, namely that Mickey really lives there and wanders it at night, and presumably that all the attractions are ‘real’ in terms of the fantasy elements being things he would react to emotionally as if they existed and had consequence, not just entertainment.

[talkdisneytome]

To add to that idea, they used to have the characters wander around main street and through the shops in order to support the idea that the characters do actually LIVE there. With the dedicated meeting areas I can't help but feel like just a tiny piece of the magic was robbed. Just a li'l bit

I'm kinda cute until you think about it too much

Y’all know when Mulan is sitting in the rain and watches her parents silhouette disappear as the candle is blown out and then her eyes squint in determination and the music that starts to play and you see her go into the family temple and light a match and bow in respect and then sneak into her parents room and switch the scroll for her hair brooch and then the way her reflection is shown as she pulls the sword and cuts her hair?? It’s literally more iconic than any marvel movie

[wyntersknight]

Y’all know that there is heavy symbolism in that scene to show that Mulan is the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon and that’s why Mushu wasn’t able to awaken it?

im sorry What!! i never knew this! my life feels fuller!!! ahhhh

[wyntersknight]

Mulan sits in the rain underneath the statue of the Great Stone Dragon (who is looking down on her), and suddenly decides on a course of action. She looks up, resolved to go to war in place of her father and runs into the temple where she lights the match and beseeches protection for her family. The stone she bows to and that we see lit up by lightening strike is that of the dragon, whose eyes are looking out after her, lit from underneath by the candles. The scene transitions to the divider in the house that also has an icon of the dragon. where she replaces her hair comb with the summons. Then we see the sword hilt, also the dragon, and as she draws the blade we see her face replace it. She ties up her hair, then as she opens the wardrobe, the handles are also the dragon. After donning the armor, the view shows her facing us, with the hilt of the sword (the face of the dragon) in front of her face, where she then turns the sword to reveal her face, and sheaths it. As she leaves, we flash back to the temple, and the eyes of the dragon flash as her grandmother wakes up.

The Great Stone Dragon resides within her. She is the protector of the family.

After this explanation, the scene where Mushu cannot wake up the stone dragon makes so much more sense. I appreciate the symbolism so much more. I noticed the dragon but didn’t notice she was constantly juxtaposed with the dragon!

Canon accepted.

I'm really the next Lin Manuel Miranda because I, too, read random pieces of literature and consider how I can transform them into Broadway musicals.

[talkdisneytome]

I admire people that have an aesthetic that they carry throughout all of their social medias cuz that takes such an amount of dedication and control and I have neither of those things. Like, I am such a weird mashup of things- I go from Celtic music to trap music and there is no aesthetic continuity to be found in that.
