I’m hard pressed to find a better Disney Character than Hector from Coco. Seriously what a perfect mix of flaw, want and heart. He’s brilliantly introduced as what seems to be comic relief only to have the perhaps the most devastating death in a movie. Period.

I think I’m gonna start a substack chronicling my journey to fund my animated series because I have no idea what I’m doing and maybe that’d be helpful to others who also don’t know (and humorous to those that do.)

Is it just me or is Act III of The Lion King wrong. I mean, Act II Simba gets experience in a new place eating exotic foods hangin' with new creatures meanwhile the lion pride is starving under Scar's reign because he's too proud to leave. So when Simba comes back shouldn't he MOVE THE PRIDE?
