ALL THINGS ARE DELICATELY INTERCONNECTED

disney knew that if they'd let tiana be herself longer than half the movie no one would look at another disney girl ever again so they had to make her a frog. they nerfed her

look at her. the class. the elegance. the effortless beauty. if we were allowed to see her for too long disney would never sell a raprumel or whatever the fuck doll again

man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

thinking about this all the time

“There was no model for what I tried to do with dance…and the thing Fred Astaire and I used to bitch about was that critics didn’t know how to categorize us. They called us tap dancers because that was considered the American style. But neither of us were basically tap dancers. Fred Astaire represented the aristocracy, I represented the proletariat. If Fred Astaire is the Cary Grant of dance, I’m the Marlon Brando.” Gene Kelly by Gjon Mili, 1944.
