Welcome to the 30 day challenge of April, which is going to be all about Disney properties. There is a lot of acquisitions under the Disney Company umbrella at this point, but the focus here is going to be on the animated properties produced under the Disney/Pixar labels proper – there’ll be plenty of other chances to discuss Marvel and Star Wars.
When you produce so much stuff under a brand as rigidly enforced as that of Disney theres’ bound to be some reoccurring tropes and cliches in the writing along the way.
And so whether we’re talking Disney characters with dead parents or Pixars infatuation with workplace bureaucracy, todays prompt is: What are your favorite and least favorite of the various tropes and cliches associated with Disney/Pixar projects?
Bonus prompt: Anything that is clichéd for either Disney/Pixar, but would be refreshing for the other?
Bonus prompt rerelease: Best and worst meta-moments, or lampshading of these cliches
TOMORROW: Pixar music
