I came upon a Ranker article that listed _The Little Matchgirl_ as starring a character who had a horribly tragic story, and I watched it. Animated short. Seven minutes of pure, weaponized sadness. And they wanted this for _Fantasia 2006?_ Jeez, you guys. Don’t get me wrong, though; it’s beautiful and it should be seen, but prepare in advance to cry. ---

I just got my Disney Drop box. Something they offered to people who bought a subscription before the service launched I think. You had to reply to their invite by submitting a form. I got a box of Aladdin stuff like greeting cards, Jasmin slippers and a really nice lamp teapot. ---

Have you not encountered the story before? It’s one of Andersen’s horribly romanticized but utterly morbid tales (see also: the original ending of “The Little Mermaid”). Terry Pratchett lampooned the whole story beautifully in _Hogfather_. I will add that if you want “pure weaponized sadness” in an animated classical music video, also check out _Fantasia_ parody _Allegro non Troppo_ - the “Valse Triste” section with the cat always makes me cry my eyes out. ---

Ditto, Come November is the renewal after that incredible 3 year deal. I’m looking at some sort of Disney & Hulu bundle most likely. I just grabbed Peacock with limited commercials for $20 for the whole year and even at that bargain price, it is barely worth it from what I’m finding. ---

Well there are certain negatives which probably didn’t occur to you (and probably no one else here) because you didn’t read the fine print: > **[Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was...](https://wdwnt.com/2024/08/disney-dismissal-wrongful-death-lawsuit/)** > > Disney asks a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit for an allergy-related death at Disney Springs, citing a Disney+ arbitration clause.
