For me, the core of The Princess and the Frog is the concept of ambition. Tiana’s life is dedicated to trying to reach her one dream of opening up her own restaurant with her father. Her goal is very tangible and rooted in the world and community in which she lives. It is different from Naveen’s attempt to fulfill his own desire for pleasure and wealth. The movie asserts that true ambition is driven by love and a sense of purpose, not by wealth and status. The film is a surprisingly solid manifesto on the topic of ambition. Tiana is one of Disney’s most relatable heroines, because her goal for herself seems real and earned, as opposed to being granted to her by magic or by marriage. Her dream requires effort and even sacrifice.

Right now, I am feeling temporary high levels of adrenaline while trying to locate a free working stream to watch current major shows that I follow for entertainment purposes. Unfortunately the pain of streams buffering at inopportune moments for extended periods of time far outweighs the high of instant gratification while searching. I have included major current shows that I follow for entertainment purposes in my annual entertainment budget. Therefore, “Outlander” is a line item. I put other services that I regularly pay for on a monthly basis that I don’t use half the time that I pay for in against this show for the months that it airs. My solution to the time consuming and increasingly complex streaming landscape of services that are cyclical (as in subscribe and then cancel) or that offer various free streaming options that are changing all the time is to simply pay for the show that I know that I will watch that air each week for each season. For example, I activated my Starz subscription the day before Season 8 of “Outlander” premiered and set a reminder on my phone for the following week to cancel the service when the season finale aired. Total cost for the month of watching Season 8 was $8.99.

Vaya final el que nos dejó el último episodio de 'Outlander' temporada 7: no faltaron voces a favor ni muchas críticas ardientes en redes y reseñas. En general la reacción fue mixta —muchos críticos y fans aplaudieron actuaciones clave, la fotografía y momentos emotivos— pero también se señalaron varios problemas que inevitablemente empañaron la experiencia para una parte del público. Los medios especializados tendieron a resaltar que, sobre todo en la recta final, la serie mostró síntomas de fatiga narrativa: una mezcla de ritmo irregular, decisiones de guion que algunos consideraron forzadas, y una sensación de que ciertas subtramas no tuvieron el cierre o la dedicación dramática que merecían.

La mayoría de la crítica habló sobre el ritmo. Muchos de los espectadores dijeron que el episodio y la temporada mezclaron escenas que eran muy fuertes con otras que se sintieron largas o ya vistas. Esto hizo que el ritmo de la historia se perdiera. Eso hizo que algunos arcos se cerraran rápido. Otros arcos quedaron muy abiertos o los dejaron para seguir con la historia principal. Muchos lectores de los libros no estuvieron de acuerdo con los cambios en la adaptación. A varias personas no les gustó que el orden de los hechos fuera diferente. Otros tampoco estuvieron conformes con que las motivaciones de los personajes y la manera en que resolvieron los conflictos fueran distintas. Las personas que leyeron las novelas sintieron frustración por los cambios. Los que solo ven la serie encontraron partes confusas o algunas cosas que no tuvieron tanta lógica en la historia. Hubo quejas por el uso desigual del elenco. Algunos personajes secundarios no tuvieron tanta participación en el último capítulo y esto dejó una sensación de desequilibrio.

Técnicamente, algunos apuntes menores volvieron a aparecer en discusiones públicas: edición abrupta en escenas de tensión, transiciones que rompían el tono y, en ocasiones, un tratamiento de temas sensibles —violencia, abuso o trauma— que algunos espectadores encontraron demasiado crudo sin la distancia narrativa adecuada, o por el contrario, tratado de forma rápida y poco reflexiva. Aún así, muchos críticos alabaron las interpretaciones de los protagonistas, la dirección de fotografía y la banda sonora, que siguieron elevando los mejores pasajes y mantuvieron la serie visualmente impresionante. En las redes sociales, algunas personas pedían que la serie siguiera más de cerca los libros y que tuviera una estructura más clara. Otras personas decían que los cambios eran necesarios para que el show funcionara en televisión.

A mí me dejó con sensaciones diferentes. Vi escenas buenas y algunos momentos cercanos que solo Outlander muestra, pero me molestó que varias historias no terminaron como yo esperaba. Al final, sigo enganchado y curioso por ver cómo arreglan todo para la próxima tanda; me quedé con ganas de más claridad en ciertos personajes, pero igual emocionado por lo que pueda venir.

A lot of what stays with me from Beauty and the Beast is its take on loneliness. In the story, Belle is not a sapery or sorry character for being different. In fact, her solitude or aloneness is the source of her power. She finds joy in her own company, and can therefore see the potential in the Beast when so many others cannot. I also find that the Beauty and the Beast’s enchanted objects (i.e. Lumière and Cogsworth) teach a very important lesson: even in broken things there is life to be rediscovered. The story is not just a love story; it is also a story about finding home in unexpected places.

Abu is the real scene-stealer here (literally, in this case) and is most often either causing more chaos or saving the day. Like in the above scene where he swiped the lamp from Jafar’s falling form, or fainted when Genie first appeared. Abu is a very genuine and believable sidekick to Aladdin, and often seems to be his partner in crime (at times, a bit too much). Even Abu’s design is very wonderful for bringing even more humor to his many mischievous actions, and his big expressive eyes, as well as his tiny hands, are very endearing. Forget Genie, Abu is the real magic in Agrabah.

Most of the featurettes for these short films are actually more interesting than the short films themselves. Lots of insight into how stunts and atmosphere are constructed on minimal budgets. If you’re at all interested in filmmaking, ‘The Construct – Making Of’ is actually quite fascinating. Insight into how they created a rather futuristic setting using largely recycled materials. Sometimes I find the behind-the-scenes so much more interesting than the ‘actual’ film. The process is the art.

Por último, vale la pena hablar de los personajes y cómo los personajes van cambiando a lo largo de la historia. Cada uno de ellos da una mirada distinta y hace que la historia muestre diferentes partes de la vida en sociedad. En resumen, este libro no solo busca entretener, sino que apunta al corazón y la mente de los lectores, dejándolos con más preguntas que respuestas, algo que siempre es gratificante en la lectura.

This princess is dressed for adventure in her teal outfit with gold accents. It consists of a crop top and wide-legged pants, perfect for running off on a magic carpet or wrestling a tiger. In every scene she appears in, the teal really stands out against her surroundings. And her puffy sleeves really add to the drama of her outfit. While her other outfits are great too, like the pink dress and the red wedding outfit, the teal is really her best choice. It’s just so her.

I feel like I already have the perfect adaptation of The Ten Thousand Doors of January in audiobook form. Rebecca Soler does an incredible job as Evangeline and Jacks. Sometimes I think the best way to adapt a story is to leave the visuals to the reader’s imagination. It can be even more powerful than any CGI. Not every great story needs to be translated to screen with all of the inner thoughts and magical nuances of the story. Most of the time, there would be too much pressure to include everything. The way I feel about the audiobooks is that they are complete just the way they are. A film would be fun, but it wouldn’t be the same as having the audiobooks and being able to imagine things for myself. In a way, I’m already satisfied.

I think a lot of people focus on the romance of this story. Instead, it is a very simple exploration of choice and consequence. The mermaid made a very cold and hard bargain with the witch – get the prince to fall in love with her and marry her, or die on the day another woman marries him. The witch never lied. So, the ending of the story is simply the fulfillment of the bargain that the mermaid made with the witch. It is a very grim, but very fair story. The ‘magic’ of the story is not in it finding some way around the terms of the bargain. Instead, it is in showing us how the mermaid deals with the consequences of her actions. She doesn’t rage against the world. She doesn’t beg for mercy. Instead, she accepts her circumstances and makes the one choice available to her in the circumstances that she has created for herself. The ending is therefore very respectful of the ‘rules’ of the world that has been created for the story. And it is very powerful as a result. It feels earned, not random.
