it's by a company called golden films, which made (makes?) cheap knock-offs of every disney movie. the one i'm referring to is like 45 minutes, was released in 1997, and is truly awful. the animation looks like ass and there's lots of odd little changes to keep it distinct from disney's version and avoid copywright infringement. instead of enchanted furniture, we get 3 ghosts in this movie who float around and haunt the beast. they are canonically the ghosts of 3 of the peasants who died because the prince refused to help them when there was like a drought or something. the music was absolutely banging though, a few original songs that are shockingly good and the rest was all tchaikovsky music. that was clearly a move to save money by using public domain tracks but tchaikovsky was a musical genius so it works. the voice acting is crazy and there's this hilarious scene where the beast falls down a flight of stairs that is so dramatic. craziest thing about this is that i preferred this movie to the disney version. i actually threw out our disney version vhs tape because i only wanted to watch this one. as an adult i was fortunately able to find a dvd copy of it at a dollar store and i have made so many of my friends watch it with me. highly recommend.

a British d-list animation studio. You can find a good handful of their movies on youtube. They were mostly producing through the 80s and 90s. A lot of stories that disney has versions of, and some around the same time like knock-off styley. Somewhere around 2015 I picked up a DVD from goodwill that had "6 family classics" (always buy these compilation DVDs). One of them was Bevanfield's adaptation of "beauty and the beast". this is the one I have linked. it makes me laugh so much when i watch it with my friends. somehow christopher lee does one of the voices and he does a bad french accent. My second favorite is "jungle book". The editing is so uncanny as to seem intentionally off. I assumed for a long time they were poor quality dubs of a dutch animation studio or something so I lost it when i learned recently its a british studio. The drawing style changes often and theres moments you can tell that they were tracing drawings from disney characters. The music is also very good in these
p.s. if you look them up dont watch the stupid reaction videos of people watching bevanfield movies, theres a few of those to avoid

digitized, truncated versions of the classic movies, with added games and language learning

some of these have like a weird amount of effort put into them. like good ui, good interpretations of the music, good sounds effects, simple but cute games. they'll even have weird little features that just make it feel interesting. for example, in the little mermaid one, ariel, sebastian and URSULA are the narrators, but they're also just like...there. the whole time. meaning you get ursula's color commentary throughout the whole thing AND SHE'S SUCH A BITCH I LOVE IT (talking about eric: "Yes, he's a very handsome man, if you're into that sort of thing" PFFF)
like i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it: the best version of 101 dalmatians is the disney interactive storybook aND NO IM NOT KIDDING. it has all the best elements of the cartoon and the live action weirdly enough (believe it or not, the idea that cruella was a fashion designer only became a thing in the glenn close movies! in the original she's just a rich lady that likes fur. ALSO in the original she's anita's "school friend," but it just makes so much more sense for their dynamic that anita's her employee), the sketchy style lends itself well to the digitized version, it has elements that make sense for this specific version (in the movie roger's a struggling musician, in the game he's a struggling video game designer! AND YOU GET TO PLAY HIS GAME!!), it trims the fat, THERE'S ADDED SONGS THERE WERE NO SONGS IN THE MOVIE AND THE ADDED SONGS FUCKING SLAP BITCH I KNOW EVERY WORD OF THE TWILIGHT BARK TO👏THIS👏DAY👏
n ee waze yeah these are fun. i'm pretty sure all of them are available on youtube in full, i like to throw them on to go to sleep sometimes. give 'em a gander if you want to feel a nostalgia gut punch with the force of 1000 suns

this is just one of those pieces of lost media from childhood thats randomly stored in my brain next to disney channel bumpers and skits from “now, a word from us kids!” it’s from a croatian animated feature called Lapitch the Little Shoemaker and i really think the visual style and music holds up. they truly did not have to go so hard for a cartoon about a mouse that went straight to VHS and barely anyone would see but THEY DID 😭🫶🏼

not like alive ocean sponges but just regular old sponges for cleaning and such. i have a huge love for them and i actually will go out shopping just in hopes of finding a type of sponge i don't have already. i don't really collect smaller sponges like for dishes, usually larger ones like car sponges or grout sponges. i especially love grout sponges. i have almost 40 sponges currently. i have specific sponges that i hope to get someday, like a grid-cut car sponge, a set from this brand called brick & bone, a big oval sponge from a brand called armaly, a clamshell sponge, an ardex sponge. i would really like to have an epoxy sponge someday. my sponges make me happy. something about the feeling of them in my hands is just very pleasing. i sometimes put a little bit of hand soap in a bowl with some water and squeeze it through my sponges over and over again. i've never met anyone else that really cares about sponges at all, so i guess that makes it niche. i'm just a sponge loving girl!
