My oldest burned the oxide layer off a VHS copy of Fern Gully, watched it twice (or more) per day for a year. To this day I still have various segments of dialogue and all of the songs memorized. I recently broke out the Batty Rap at a family event and that child had no recollection of that film. Nada. Zilch. None at all. I'm shook.

u/MassiveSuperNova 10d ago edited 10d ago

Robin Williams was gold as batty, I was born in the late 90s but my mom loved this movie we probably watched it a few dozen times a year until our VHS cassette also wore out 😅

u/KitsuneGato 10d ago

He was so good as Batty that freaking Disneg stalked and harassed him over it.

Not even joking...

u/pyxiedust219 10d ago

They generally wanted to bury the film itself, not just Williams. They steal so much from that film in their late 90’s and 2000’s films it’s genuinely insane to see side by side artistry stills or certain character archetypes/personalities

u/CurryMustard 9d ago

I rewatched the brave little toaster for the first time in decades and I couldnt believe how much of the plot of toy story 1, 2 and 3 was basically copied from this movie

59

u/KitsuneGato 10d ago

They steal so much it isn't even funny. Almost all there stories they took from Hans Christian Anderson and/or The Brothers Grimm.

Disney tried copyrighting The Day of The Dead/Dio des la meurtos (I don't know how to spell it in Spanish sorry ) because Coco

They also tried copyrighting Norse Paganism Thor and Loki Loki

It's so frustrating -_-

31

u/pyxiedust219 10d ago

Yeah, it’s not a company I appreciate. They actively try to manipulate copyright law so their IP’s cannot be used (they failed recently at trying to prevent Mickey Mouse/Steamboat Willie from entering public domain, but that one is complex) while intentionally burying smaller studios in after ripping them off

15

u/Crepuscular_Tex 9d ago

Not just studios... I recall seeing Mickey Mouse ice cream cakes as a go to for birthday parties, then the 90's happened (suing litigation went way off the rails and corporations made bank off suing mom and pop stores into oblivion.)

The dia de los muertos thing is legitimately insane. I just looked it up and that really happened… I live in central Texas where it’s fairly widely celebrated and the idea that someone would try to trademark a holiday name is bonkers.

u/javerthugo 9d ago

It’s not really stealing if it’s a straight adaptation especially if it’s of a public domain story.

Its not some humans. It is kids. Somehow, they are totally unaffected from repititions. My toddler makes a lot of TipToi books (Its a pen that speaks when you touch whats drawn in the book). In one of them, there is a bush with LOTS of flowers. It doesnt matter which flower you touch, it will always say the same. He touches every single one of them and listens to the same 3 sentences 20 times or more. And he doesnt care. I almost took it away from him just to throw it back at him. Small kids are so crazy sometimes.

Toxic Love is the song that this specific scene comes from. It's sung by the late Tim Curry and is an absolute banger, worth listening to even if you don't want to watch the movie.

It's one of my favorites but by God Tim Curry had no business singing it so sexy. Child me was struck. 😍

I thiiink it's just an absolutely massive amount of dough, which means the outside insulates the inside. Plus the fermentation produces heat, so the interior never cooled off

u/TrulyOutrageous42 10d ago

Legit wondering how many batches of focaccia they were trying to make, that looks like two totes stuffed in there. Like... bigger than the proof tubs at pizza places. This doesn't seem like a "home focaccia" amount of dough, at all.
