The Irish Envy Dad Thread

Honestly, I've been underwhelmed by many of the recent Disney flicks (last 10-15 years or so)... The Frozen hype was far too big for what I thought was just an 'eh' effort... maybe I'm just getting older tho.

A - Moana and Tangled
B - Zootopia and Wreck-It Ralph
C - Big Hero 6
D - Frozen

 

[zelezo vlk]

Yeah Zootopia seems like a solid B- movie. Frozen was C, I'd say

 

[ACamp1900]

Of all the movies I've seen in that general time line,... I thought Frozen, Zootopia, Wreck It and Brave were all underwhelming... I had HUGE expectations for Brave, was pretty disappointed. I thought Princess and the Frog was really the only Disney flick during that span were I came away thinking it was better than expected or close to... it's def the only one mentioned I'd watch again on my own volition.

Haven't seen Big Hero 6 yet.

Brave is a Pixar movie you fawkin n00b.

(But yeah, it's not great. See also: The Good Dinosaur.)

So you don't consider Disney Pixar flicks to be Disney flicks??? I just throw them all together. Come at me...

Finding Dory was good enough... I'll watch it again. Wasn't big on Inside Out tho.

Brave is okay, but I was expecting very good. So much potential that was kinda wasted. Inside Out was fantastic, and of course Toy Story 3 was amazing.

Is Rogue One a Disney movie, too? How about Captain America: Civil War?

No, they aren't cartoons...

I was SO hyped for Brave... it was gonna be my people's Lion King... what we got was my people's Freaky Friday.

Did Californians really need a Lion King?

My five year old daughter dropped her first five bomb yesterday. It was at the dinner table.

She blamed a kid at school regarding where she heard it.

I'm getting Polar Express flashbacks after reading some of these comments. My son turned 10 today and daughter will be 14 soon. I definitely enjoy this time more than the younger years (although those were great times as well). Both are big into sports, daughter is playing varsity soccer, scored her first goal tonight. Goes by so fast, enjoy it all gentlemen. F bombs included.

If my kid ever drops the F bomb, he will have heard it from me. No doubt in my mind. haha

I have a 5 year old girl and this totally made me cry.

 

[zelezo vlk]

What in the f*ck? They screwed up that ending. The final scene should clearly be the dad being buried in a glass coffin cleaned by Windex.

You can mock once you have a daughter.

Well good gravy.

Got'damn glass cleaner going straight for the feels.

No, I can mock now. That was way too serious and long for glass cleaner. It's one thing to be a 15 second spot of a dad wiping the window and seeing his daughter on the other side. It's a whoooooooooooooole other thing to put out a 3 minute video of watching a daughter grow up where Windex is seen what, twice?

It's not really a "spot," it's essentially a music video with some product placement in it.

Your response is way too serious and long

 

[zelezo vlk]

Your response is way too serious and long

And I'm willing to bookend it with Windex to make it an appropriate advertisement. Pay me my money, S.C. Johnson & Son!

There's not much "Disney" about Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort other than the name and the fact that I get a sweet discount. When you get thousands of dollars worth of room discounts and free park admission, it's hard to justify the cost of other trips, especially with a two year old.

But yes, in recent years I've been to Scotland, Stowe, Kauai, South Bend, Baltimore, Williamsburg, etc.

You flew all the way out to Hawaii, and didn't even check out The Aulani?

In all seriousness, if I had Disney perks, I would be using them all the damn time.

 

[SonofOahu]

Great thread. Certainly provides a nice look at personalities, outside of gameday and political threads. As soon as I figure out how to insert an image...

So the kid basically has no relationship with mom who carried her for 9 months.
