So I have discovered that like the early Disney movies are 50 times better than the most recent ones.
Yes.
Like, I never saw these as kids.
So I'm seeing for the first time.
So I've watched a lot of, for example, Snow White.
And first of all, Snow White is astonishingly good.
But the best part about it, and this is actually because I've been part of a larger thing I've become very interested in.
The best part about Snow White is all of the, and also even more so probably with Cinderella, is their willingness to go on these tangents.
Like in Cinderella, there's like 20 minutes on the mouse playing with the cat, Lucifer, and they leave the whole story
set it over here, and it's just a cat and a mouse.
And the self-confidence of the filmmaker, they're like, the kids are happy to put Cinderella to the side and just go with the mouse and the cat for 20 minutes.
And they'll come back to us.
We have such confidence in our story and our storytelling ability.
And I feel like today, when you watch the newer ones, there's never any of these digressions.
No.
And what is, they don't understand how kids' minds work or even, pardon me, how human beings' mind works.
Well, you know, this is a comic.
Yeah.
Nobody was giving them instructions.
The other thing that's interesting is that the mistake that data makes is that they don't account for the fact that the audience might change its mind.
