Uh, ok.
"Hunchback" is on Freeform *right now* (Heaven's Light/Hellfire just ended) and while it does have some great moments, its lows are some of the worst Disney has done. I stand by my "Moana" vote.
Today in the second round of the Walt Disney Animation Studios bracket, a wayfaring young woman goes up against a kindly young bell-ringer. This should be fun.

Yeah me too

I still maintain “You know who you are” is one of the best pieces of animation ever.

EVER.

"Moana" has some of the best animation I've seen and the scene when Moana has the ocean part to allow her to meet Te Kā is one of my favorites.

"Hunchback" has those damn gargoyles.

I think Alden Ehrenreich will always be a name I recognize but I'll never know why, and when I see him in a show ("Ironheart") or movie ("Weapons") it'll take at least 3 scenes before I connect his face to the name and then go "Oh yeah, he was Han Solo that one time."

I enjoyed this entirely too much because we all (Disneyland folks) either know this person or are this person.

As much as I enjoy Gene Kelly, I never got the hype of this one.

Reading Jeff Pearlman’s Tupac biography, and when I got to the point where he starts his senior year of high school in 1988, it hit me that he only lives another 8 years.

Ok, my vote for Governor goes to the first person to float repealing this dumb ass law.

As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...

NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

Not for me. I’ll hear from a couple of high school friends here & there on IG, but only my oldest friend—his family moved in across the street when we were 3 & he didn’t speak English—is the only childhood friend I talk to/see with any regularity.
watching John Green talk about his buddy from high school who is still his friend and I’m curious, is that common for people on here?
