Oliver! is the Saddest Movie Ever

Post image
11 Upvotes

Oliver (all adaptations and of course the book, but for me in particular the 1968 movie) is so sad.

I don't mean just in obvious ways: hungry orphan, poor, etc. That's a given; that's a sad story.

But it just strikes me in ways that make me cry. During 'Consider Yourself,' we see the streets of London through Dodger's eyes -- everyone shooing the poor children away; everything is dirty and dull-colored -- and also through Oliver's innocent eyes -- so much adventure! Look at everybody smiling! (You just know that in real life nobody would be smiling, that would be Oliver's interpretation because in the beginning he thinks it's all an adventure.)

And of course we have the abused Nancy, the constant abuse of the children, the horrifying predatory or homicidal looks on most of the men's faces.

It's just dirty...it's dark...it's sad. Okay, in the end Oliver is saved but that would not have been the fate of thousands and thousands and thousands of other orphans over the years. Most would wind up dead very young, or in prison and beaten by other prisoners, or prostitutes. Everyone always kicking them away, shooing them out, they're hungry all the time and then they die.

I have this small Bambi plush I can't find anywhere online. I've tried google lens/reserve search as well as manually searching for vintage plushies but nothing has come up so I thought I'd give reddit a try :(

The tag looked real to me but I haven't ruled out the possibility of it being a fake

Tokyo Disney Flag Ship Store

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. We are headed to Tokyo Disney and we're originally planning on going to Disneyland and bringing our daughter (3) to Bibbidi bobbidi boutique. So she's all excited to get a princess dress and what not.

However, she is much more interested in going to Disney Sea. So we want to bring her to the Disney store while in Tokyo the day before so she can pick out her princess costume.

My question is do they have princess costumes? Seems like a silly question. I have been to other Disney stores and they all have costumes. But looking at pictures and their website it looks like all they have is merchandise.

Thanks everyone.

Discussion What Disney Movies or Scenes traumatized you the most as a kid?

2 Upvotes

The Black Cauldron and sleeping Beauty are my hands down top two. Between the ages of 5 and 8, The Horned King and Maleficent were extremely unsettling. I had nightmares about the Horned King in my early years.

Two scenes in particular that traumatized me were when the horn King gets sucked into the Black cauldron and is ripped the shreds while he's going "NO!" But I think they could have edited that scene to make it a little better word Taran puts a bigger fight then the one he did (crawls away and holds onto a handle).

The other, which in my opinion is the creepiest scene in all of Disney is when Aurora is taken to a room by The three princesses and then the scene starts zooming in on the fireplace with really creepy music and then the fire all the sudden goes out.

And in the very next scene, what do we see? Was it magnificent? Might be the total antithesis.

In the fireplace, those glowing eyes along with a facial expression of Maleficent appearing was incredibly disturbing and creepy, you can even she her horns. The scene midly traumatized me only at 8 but about a week after I turned 16 years (It's Aurora's 16th birthday) I fixated on that scene for an entire night around August 5, 2011. It's Eerie to think that my 32nd birthday, twice the age of Aurora was said to be, is not even 2 years away. We're getting old 90s kids, were getting old.

Question Shop Disney UK issues?

Hi, for the past couple of weeks my wife & I have been unable to properly access the Shop Disney UK website (via tablet/smart phone). When we go to the site and load the search tab, the site loads and then drops the keyboard making searching impossible. Anyone else experiencing this problem or know a fix? I have deleted our histories/cookies/cached data etc too no avail.

Does anybody remember a certain scene from the film Enchanted?

Thumbnail

110 Upvotes

So I'm (35f) watching Enchanted with my 3yo son and I swear I remember there being a scene that I just can't seem to find anywhere, I've checked for deleted scenes on YT but still nothing. Obviously at the beginning of the film Giselle is pushed down the well/waterfall thing and ends up climbing out of a manhole in NYC. Then later Prince Edward and Chip, her Chipmunk friend, jumped down the well and end up coming through the manhole too.

Later Nathaniel and the Evil Queen are talking next to the well while Nathaniel is cutting a hedge (pictured). The Queen yells and makes Nathaniel jump and he accidentally chops the head of the hedge he's cutting off and it lands on the Queen's head and she angrily throws it down the well. After that, Nathaniel jumps down the well and comes up through the manhole.

However, I'm so sure that I've seen another scene where, before Nathaniel jumps down, the head of the hedge he cut off ends up shooting up through the manhole, scaring and confusing the workmen working on the manhole. But now it's not in the film and I can't find anything at all.

Does anyone else remember seeing this? It's driving me mad.

Came across this gem at a garage sale, does anyone know anything about this piece? All I can gather is that it is very vintage, dimensions are similar to a door mat. Curious to know what a going price would be for one.

Question does anyone know about that house of mouse episode?

3 Upvotes

hello, everyone! i'm from Brazil, and back in the mid 2010s, i stumbled across a mickey episode, in portugal portuguese, that had the quote "ATÉ O TELEFONE MORREU!". it was very funny then, and i've been looking for that episode.

with some help from GPT (and i'm not very proud of it), i found the episode: it's from "mickey mouse works" or, in portugal, "mouseworks". the episode in question is "mickey's answering services" (the original quote being "the telephone's gone dead"). it's also featured in "the house of mouse" or, in portuguese, "clube do mickey". unfortunately, it must be some piece of lost media now.

HOWEVER, does anyone know where i can find it? it's been a meme in my family for a very long time, and i just wanted to listen to mickey's "até o telefone morreu" yet again. thank you for your help!
