Did you know? Australia experiences its own version of the Northern Lights known as Aurora Australis, or the “Southern Lights”.

(If you appreciate my work here, please consider reblogging this post to help me grow its exposure.)

Hi friends! Politely requesting some asks, if I may, as the inbox is effectively empty and I haven’t quite anything new to work on.

(And just as a reminder: You can send in something for Hank to respond to right now, as well, if you’d like.)

one more finding dory post sorry not sorry

there’s this scene about 2/3 of the way through the movie which contains my single favorite use of score for storytelling in any film.

dory, marlin, & nemo have reunited and dory is telling them about how close she’s come to finding her parents (over no score), and hesitates, wondering if they will even want to see her after everything that’s happened. marlin insists that they’ll have missed “everything about” her, and starts to explain (for the very first time) how much she means to him.

and slowly at first, as he recounts the ways she helped him find nemo and then actually tells her how important she is in his and nemo’s life (“i didn’t know you felt that way. unless i forgot…” “no, i never told you.”), the main theme from the first movie plays.

it’s the only use of the nemo egg/main theme from fn in fd. in nemo it’s used to represent the marlin-nemo family relationship, and in dory - in this scene - it’s specifically used to underline what marlin is telling her: that she is part of their family now, too.

Movie ratings are so funny

At one point basically every animated movie was slapped with a G rating, no further questions, because it was for kids and therefore a general audience program

Which is how The Great Mouse Detective (one of my favorite movies) got a G rating in 1986 despite featuring

• a young child seeing her father being mauled and kidnapped from where she’d been hurriedly hidden in a cabinet
• protagonist firing a gun onscreen
• an antagonist actively manipulating a protagonist by threatening the protagonist’s small child
• a cabaret show with strippers, who are some of the only singing characters
• drugged drinks
• a protagonist being visibly intoxicated due to aforementioned drugged drinks
• a bar fight
• a henchman being visibly intoxicated, saying something stupid while drunk, and getting killed for said stupid statement (despite being too drunk to understand that he’s in danger) as a few other henchman watch in horror and then mourn his death
• several characters smoking onscreen
• a male character dressed in drag to impersonate a protagonist who was kept hostage
• multiple characters tied up and gagged

While nowadays basically everything is rated PG or PG-13 for “fantasy violence” and/or “rude humor.” Seriously, Finding Dory has a PG rating for “mild thematic elements.” Oh how times have changed
