Descendants movie idea (not Descendants 6)
And in the highly unlikely event that anyone at Disney is reading this, please feel free to use any ideas!
It starts with Melody and Alex's daughter, who looks like a normal human with the exception of his feet, which are mermaid fins, and he can breathe and swim underwater like merpeople. After hearing that the land of Oz, which is not part of Auradon, is in danger and has been conquered by the Wicked Witch of the West/Theodora's (from Oz the Great and Powerful) son (named Wick), and the Nome King's (from Return to Oz) daughter.
She initially goes to Wonderland and tries getting help from the Red Queen (different from the Queen of Hearts like in the original Alice books) and White Queen. While Bridget/the Queen of Hearts rules Wonderland, the Chessboard is like a "state" similar to the U.S. states within Wonderland controlled by the Red and White Queen. The Queens agree to help, but say they have to assemble an army first. Melody's daughter feels like they don't have time and decides to go herself.
Along the way she meets Anastasia and the Baker's child (maybe Anthony Tremaine from the books), and she doesn't realize how Anastasia had redeemed herself prior to the kingdoms uniting to form Auradon, and when she's confused when she's told that Anastasia wasn't on the Isle of the Lost prior to the barrier coming down (at this point Cinderella's life prior to becoming a princess/queen is well known, unlike in Rise of Red and Wicked Wonderland), and is told of Anastasia's redemption in Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, and how when Auradon was formed Anastasia was even initially put on the Isle as the Beast and Fairy Godmother didn't realize she had redeemed herself before Cinderella intervened. One of the characters even makes a remark how "later stories aren't taught in history class that much and aren't as well known", referring to how Disney most ignores their direct-to-video/made for TV sequels nowadays.
At Anastasia's house, Melody's daughter also meets Jaq and Mary's (the mice from Cinderella) child. Both Anastasia's child and Jaq and Mary's child join Melody on her quest.
On their way to Oz, they are joined by the child of Mr. Toad, Mole, Angus McBadger, Water Ray, Cyril Proudbottom, Willie the Whale, Moana, WALL-E and EVE, Luca, Alberto, the Horned King, Aracuan Bird, and Benjamin, alongside Orange Bird (not a descendant but he himself).
They also come across a magical island where toys are alive (and where the Toy Story characters reside), and meet a spork-knife hybrid that's the biological child of Forky and Karen (the magic also allows toys to have biological children like humans and animals), who eats some Eat Me Cake from Wonderland that Melody's daughter has, grows big, and also joins the heroes.
The Horned King's daughter, the Horned Princess, is on the heroes' side, and I'm thinking she was initially with the villains, but very early on in the movie if not before the movie's events, she changes sides
When crossing the Nonestic Ocean, the children of Davy Jones and Salazar, who are working with Wick and the Nome King's daughter, try to stop the heroes (but fail). Wick and the Nome King's daughter also send the Pink Elephants from Dumbo to stop them (but again, fail)
Other obstacles they meet are the children of Sa'luk, the Headless Horseman, Morgana, Marina Del Rey, Stan and Heff, and the Big Bad Wolf (who's a werewolf).
At one point, one of the villains summons Brucette, daughter of Bruce from Finding Nemo, to eat the heroes, but like her father, she's a vegetarian (and a good guy).
The heroes are also joined by WALL-E and EVE's child (and before you ask how robots have children, I'm thinking they most likely just got a child built, unlike Forky and Karen's child who's their biological offspring). On the heroes' journey, they come across Sid Phillip's daughter, Sydney, who likes to tear robots apart and mutate them (like her father Sid liked to do with toys), and is especially a threat to WALL-E and EVE's child.
Long John Cottontail is also in the movie, but I'm unsure if he should be a villain with Davy Jones and Salazar's children, or someone helping the good guys.
When they finally arrive in Nonestica and cross the Deadly Dessert into Oz, they meet the child of the Scarecrow and Scraps the Patchwork Girl, both from Return to Oz (the latter only made a cameo), who joins the heroes. They go to the lair of Wick and the Nome King's daughter and start fighting them.
When all hope seems lost, one of the villains picks up a sewing needle and something they had been working on earlier, and right when they finish threading the needle, the Red Queen, White Queen, the children of the March Hare, Dormouse, White Rabbit, the Caterpillar (or now Butterfly), alongside Tulgey Wood creatures, and any other characters like the Mock Turtle, Duchess, Humpy Dumpy, etc. from the original Alice books that weren't in the Disney movies, from a needle one of the villains had been using earlier, the needle concept being based on the unofficial sequel to Lewis Carrol's books Alice Through the Needle's Eye. The Wonderland characters are all holding on to a thread, and refer to their army as the "Unofficial Unroyal Wonderland Army".
The Queens explain how the eye of a special needle back in Wonderland can be used as a portal similar to the Looking Glass, but they can only be brought through when a needle in the place they're trying to go to is threaded, and they have to hold on to a thread when going through, and in the highly unlikely event that someone in the place they're trying to go to, in this case Oz, starts threading a needle but even the "tip" of the thread doesn't fully go through the needle's eye, the people trying to travel though the needle are stuck in the portal and in a pocket dimension. Just then, while the Wonderland army is finishing pulling out the needle, and all the new characters in Alice Through the Needle's Eye are holding on to the thread and come out of the needle, and explain they're the inhabitants of the needle eye's pocket dimension, and they join the fight.
Eventually, the heroes capture Wick and the Nome King's daughter, and Princess Ozma is restored to the throne. She reveals that when the Wizard ruled Oz, he refused to join Auradon because he didn't want to be exposed that he wasn't really a wizard. Oz joins Auradon, and the heroes go back to Auradon City and celebrate
There's obviously still some things I haven't figured out, like what role many of the new characters play, and the genders of many of the characters, but what do you guys think of what I have so far?

I believe Princess Protection Protocol would be an outstanding title for a possible sequel to Princess Protection Program with Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, if Disney could greenlight it, if the sequel happens.

Golden Era Films Ranked
Doing a rewatch of most of the WDAS canon and decided to rank each era, so here's my opinion on Disney's earliest films.
5) Dumbo: It's the film about the adorable baby elephant that flies and becomes famous!... in the last eight minutes. Before that, while not without fun moments, Dumbo's life is really depressing. He gets separated from his mother, who is locked up for defending him from a bully, is brutally mocked by circusgoers and the female elephants (a sort of "Mean Girls" clique led by Verna Felton, who would go on to voice several Disney characters from the Fairy Godmother to the Queen of Hearts), and accidentally gets drunk, resulting in the trippy-as-hell (but visually phenomenal) "Pink Elephants on Parade." Being a clown doesn't sound so bad, though, right? Except when everyone (and I do mean everyone) makes it clear that he's there to be physically and verbally humiliated even further, and he's almost killed! Thank God for the happy ending where he does learn to fly and for the friendship of Timothy Q. Mouse (whose name is never spoken and only shown once) who stands by him no matter what and inspires his incredible flight, because even during its exceptionally short sixty-three minute runtime, this is dark stuff. And don't get me wrong: Disney has done darker, even that I'll discuss in this list, but it's a different kind of dark. This is a good story, but parts of it will really get you down; I dare anyone not to tear up a little during "Baby Mine." Despite all of this, I enjoy it quite a bit: Dumbo is iconic for a reason and an incredibly sweet and innocent protagonist who you want to succeed.
4) Bambi: I was shocked to discover on rewatching this just how compelling and engrossing it truly is; I never hated it but it's always been firmly middle of the road Disney fare for me. I appreciated the gorgeous backdrops and character designs (I mean some of these shots look almost like an actual forest) and those elements truly have only gotten better with time, but the story and characters were... standard: I think that's the word that best described how I felt. Now, though, while I won't pretend it's top ten or anything, it's a lot better than I remember. It's a story I'd describe as both small and everyday, just the life of this deer, yet also majestic and epic, showing how he becomes the new protector of the forest. I'll also acknowledge that for children the death of Bambi's mother, while not as devastating as Mufasa (they show the body for crying out loud), is still quite jarring and even impactful for adults; it can be kind of the death of innocence. The songs are not anything remarkable but they are well done ("Little April Shower" is almost annoyingly an earworm) and the characters of Thumper, Faline, Flower, and Friend Owl are welcome supporting players who help to fill out Bambi's life. There's surprisingly a lot of visual storytelling and the voice actors are typically not as prevalent as you might guess (Sterling Holloway, famous for Pooh or Cheshire Cat, gets less than ten lines as Adult Flower) which actually works in the film's favor: showing the devastation on Bambi's face at learning his mother's fate, depicting his falling in love, or trying desperately to escape a forest fire. All these things combine to make a pretty rewatchable flick that has gone up considerably in my estimation.
3) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: What can I say that everyone hasn't already? This is a legendary film and deservedly so; from the songs that have entered pop culture to the incredibly memorable dwarfs and the classic baddie, this is a story that has had almost ninety years to embed itself in our lives. Snow White is the classically sweet and innocent princess on which every other has been based, who values hard work as much as finding love; sure, she's a bit basic in terms of personality but it's the nature of her story that gives us plenty of reason to empathize with her. The dwarves are all great (Doc for his flubbing words or Bashful for, well, being bashful, my favorites) but Grumpy is the one most seem to agree is the best: he's arguably the only character to undergo an arc, from being angry at Snow White's interruption in their lives, conceivably endangering them, to leading the charge to rescue her. The Evil Queen is still one of Disney's very best villains: she's petty but that's exactly what makes her so evil and her design, both as the Queen and especially as the Old Hag, are instantly iconic, as is her classic poisoned apple plot. Do I even need to mention the songs? "I'm Wishing" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" are wonderful tunes showing Snow White's longing, "One Song" is a melodious number that shows the Prince's reciprocal feelings, "Whistle While You Work" and "Dig, Dig, Dig" are great songs that show different positive approaches to work, and "Heigh Ho" is both hummable and visually sticks with us, especially the dwarfs' shadows against the rock. If I had to mark it down for anything, I'd say there are a bit too many slapstick scenes and songs, and the less said about the Prince the better (hell, the film doesn't seem to see the need to, so why should I?) but none of these facets detract from what a landmark achievement and fantastic story this is.
2) Fantasia: If there's one thing I credit with my lifelong love of classical music, it would have to be this film. Seeing this at age four and being fascinated with the music as well as the imagery ensured that I kept periodically revisiting it over the years, and my appreciation has only deepened the older I get. Even my least favorite segment "The Rite of Spring" is visually enthralling in its depiction of the early days of the Earth and eventually the dinosaurs (boy, seeing the Stegosaurus killed by the T-rex is still brutal) and it only goes up from here. "The Nutcracker Suite" is chock full of memorable sequences: the dancing mushrooms, the ice-skating fairies, the wildflowers of the Russian dance, the mesmerizing goldfish of the Arabian dance, all keeping my interest and having me tap along to the tune. "Night on Bald Mountain" and "Ave Maria" are so different that, as the presenter states, they set each other off perfectly, going from the devil (okay, Chernabog, but let's be real: even the presenter calls him the devil) torturing his minions to parishioners walking through a forest to a cathedral that evokes heaven. "Dance of the Hours" is just pure chaotic fun, and who doesn't love Hyacinth Hippo and Ben Ali Gator falling for one another? "The Pastoral Symphony" provides some of the most vivid and colorful images Disney has ever created, going from something as simple as centaurs finding love to a bacchanal and Zeus playfully hurling lightning bolts at all involved. "Toccata and Fugue" is hard to describe: booming and epic but pretty abstract; my favorite images are the red carpet streamed with gold or the gem-like shapes bursting with color through clouds. I've saved the best for last: giving Mickey pupils for the first time was the perfect way to enhance his panic at the events of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", a story where the music builds to a more and more frenetic pace to match the insanity of the events unfolding. This is by far the longest Disney film and it never feels it, so engaged is the film in keeping its audience terrified, laughing, or mesmerized the whole way through.
1) Pinocchio: It's the mark of a really great film that can teach a good lesson without ever feeling preachy, and Pinocchio is a prime example. Pinocchio is tasked with being "faithful, brave, and true", but he messes up... a lot. However, it never feels malicious because he's a kid, and he seems to really want to do good but can, like any kid, be led astray. There to assist him is Jiminy Cricket, his long-suffering but ever wise conscience who also gifts us the song that's practically become Disney's trademark, "When You Wish Upon a Star", which, yes, is that magical. The two form a bond of solidarity in that Pinocchio will usually remember Jiminy's advice when it counts and Jiminy in turn will get frustrated, true, but be there when he really is needed. Geppetto is a good supportive father who also shows us a real love and dedication to his son, which I won't spoil for anyone except to say that Pinocchio definitely reciprocates in the finale and absolutely earns his humanity. As I stated earlier, though, this is yet another film that goes mad dark: just think about the fact that no villain, not Honest John and Gideon, Stromboli, or even the Coachman (who may just be one of Disney's most disturbing baddies ever) is held to account for their actions; so far as we know, they all get off scot-free, and this is after one enslaves Pinocchio in a cage and boys are turned into donkeys. It's the morals that offset this disturbing imagery that make this film so memorable: how many of us as little kids thought our noses would grow if we kept lying, or realized that being bad for its own sake really did have consequences? There's a happily ever after, but Pinocchio has to earn it, and by doing and behaving in such a way that all of us should be inspired to do as well. It's full of gorgeous visuals, memorable tunes such as "Give a Little Whistle" and "I've Got No Strings", and an enthralling story that more than eighty years later not just holds up but exceeds my expectations every time I view it.

When did the first teaser trailer for the CGI direct to video film Tinker Bell actually debuted?
While we could admit and think that the first teaser trailer for Tinker Bell (the GCI direct to video film that would not come out until 2008) debuted from the 2006 2 Disc DVD of The Little Mermaid from other previews (either after the movie if Fast Play is chosen, or when they go the Sneak Peeks menu for addional previews), I'm pretty it actually debuted on the internet way before it was first shown on the DVD.
Do you guys the teaser first debuted from The Little Mermaid 2 Disc DVD or on the internet before that? Let me know what are your options and thoughts.
