I just bought Disney Plus. I didn’t really want it, but I found a website selling surplus 12 month keys for 85% off. Which settled the matter.

I’ve been watching Pixar movies, but found them to be a bit childish.

I thought that Up was going to be about raging at the dying light at end of day. In fact it was about chasing some sort of escaped roadrunner ostrich.

I thought that Lightyear was going to be about losing and accepting the loss of loved-ones caused by striving for some unobtainable goal, seen through the medium of relativistic time dilation. A brilliant idea and one I wish I had come up with myself, but it turned out I did come up with it because the film was about shooting some robots.

I knew that Toy Story 4 had a sentient toy made from a plastic fork. That clearly wasn’t going to survive for very long, so I assumed that the story would be about accepting that a very short life can be rewarding if you take it for what it is. Instead, the story was about something else. I can’t remember what. Possibly having elderly sex with little bo peep after the kids have left home.

Perhaps my expectations were set to high for a bunch of films for kids. Or perhaps I should watch films made for grownups instead. But they’re so boring…

If watching movies is too boring, try making stop motion animations.

Do you mean that I should make stop motion animations, because it's more fun than watching them, or that I shouldn't make stop motion animations because it's more boring than watching them?

I left it ambiguous intentionally. That way, it can mean what you want it to mean.

No, I won’t let you suck my toes!

You should stop making them
Stationary animations only please

That's the best kind.

Bought my niece one of the classics: an Easy-Bake Oven.

Still waiting for that cake to bake; damned LED bulbs
