The preface to this 2006 edition is about how SF is a failed imperial city but here's why he wrote these things this way, and about the twin towers and the Gulf war and how he really wanted to write about NYC as the real imperial city but all this bombing got in the way, and I just can't. If he doesn't think what he wrote is relevant anymore, I can't be bothered to muck through it. DNF. Actually Did Not Start.

Observations of a Black Millennial pop-culture junkie who teethed on The Little Mermaid. Ponders successive generations' tendency to produce fewer good/evil narratives in favor of messy relationships. Disney was a shaping force for her; she describes growing into a love-hate relationship with the Mouse. At the end, she's clubbed and dragged by Megyn Kelly. Recommended (the book, not the dragging).

At the risk of being out of context — the author proclaims a love-hate relationship with the Mouse and demonstrates plenty of love, especially for 1989 Ariel — this remains a thing that makes you go hmmm.

What "Encanto" and "Turning Red" have signified is a larger trend within the current Disney-Pixar mold of doing away with the traditional villain character. In its place is a theme that's more complex than a simple "good" vs. "evil" conflict, though the outcome of this dynamic could arguably be considered on the neat side, depending on who you ask.

Unrelated to the book: It took me ENTIRELY TOO LONG to place this reference. Like 15 seconds of repeating it to myself until finally it was followed by "Good morning, Belle!"
