it’s really weird to watch a movie that you know was deliberately buried by its studio and discover exactly why they did that. like it’s insane to me that disney even made and released a film with a message of “be gay do degrowth” but here we are.
yes it had some pacing issues, yes it had some strange missteps, but overall it fuckin worked and was a really cool world that worked in the jules verne/treasure planet/atlantis mode of sci-fi, which disney has historically excelled in and would continue to excel in if they stopped being such pussies about it.
i actually didn’t expect the twist they hit us with. i think it works. cool movie. can’t believe it got made. can’t believe disney didn’t put social media restrictions in jaboukie’s contract. life works in mysterious ways.
