arkizzle / Moderator commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
You don't happen to mean knack, do you? I happened to mention it to a Northern lass, and she suggested it. Not to insult your memory at all, but it would make perfect sense if you said "that's the knack." Apologies for this conversation going on this long, I will now shut up :D...
misterfricative commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
Fair question. But no, it was definitely 'crack'. I know the word 'knack', but I never heard anyone use the expression 'that's the knack'. I think the meaning would be different anyway: knack denotes the skill that a person has in executing a trick/technique; crack denotes the trick/technique itself. For 'that's the crack', try asking a Brummie who was alive in the 70s....
boyhowdy commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
What's "wrong" with education? The conceit of Disneyfication is academically sound and well-studied; see, for example, the concept of neoteny as illustrated through the continued de-evolution of both princess characters and , and compare it to the way in which pre-teens have become sexualized. No accident, there. See, as well, the Mickey Mouse Club origins of modern popstars. Or, heck, the marginalization of Pocohantas and Mulan on the Disney Princess web page, where they are relegated to the outer edges of the canon. More generally, the assumption that developing minds take cues about behavior, values and identity from mass media...

After reading the previous comments, I have to wonder if anyone here is an Orleanian... As a proud Orleanian, I am thrilled that the film has been made, and in traditional animation! TradAnim is fitting for a city built upon history. The designs and the characters are a love letter to my city. Upon the opening of the new Disney exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art (my partner and I were first in line!) one piece of background art displayed the depth of research the animators did and literally brought me to tears. As for the assertion that...
Chris Tucker commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
Anonymous @#31: I was surprised at that line myself. I was more surprised that I actually enjoyed the film. I was channel surfing when I came across it on the Disney Channel, stopped for a bit to admire the CGI and got caught up in the story. It's actually a pretty decent story, there's some laugh out loud slapstick, some pathos, and some pretty darn good 3D CGI animation. And for the PC crowd, the diverse "ethnic" faries are voiced by the "right" people, the Asian fairy is voiced by Lucy Liu, the Black fairy by Raven-Simone, etc. Yes, there...
