While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. So how are the movies connected? For starters in Frozen whatever happened to Anna and Elsa’s parents? Frozen is the tale of two sisters, Anna, and Elsa, who grow up in the kingdom of Arendelle. The story starts with a heartbreaking explanation of how the king and queen of Arendelle, Elsa and Anna's parents, disappear at sea during a stormy night. Where were, they going? It has been suggested that they were on their way to Rapunzel and Flynn Rider's wedding, the heroes of the Disney’s movie Tangled. Flynn Rider and Rapunzel can both be spotted towards the end of Frozen when visitors gather at the kingdom as the sisters open the gates of the castle, so there is proof that the royals knew each other, or at least coexisted in the same world. Add to that the fact that Frozen is reportedly set in Norway the fjords and ice make it obvious (DisneyTheory.com). There is the possibility that Tangled is set in Germany because that's where the fairytale of Rapunzel originally comes from (DisneyTheory.com). You've got quite…

guide at 8PM, but 8PM turned into 9PM, then 9PM turned into 10PM. It was now 11PM and I still have not worked on the study guide because I was stuck on one problem, logarithms; plus, I was distracted by the variety of dog pictures and YouTube videos that ate away the time that could have been used to study. Now, I was a bit stressed out because I began to realize I was not ready for this final, and it is most likely that I am going to fail this final. I ran to my phone and texted my friend,…

After I read the book “Deadbeat Dams”, I agree with the sentiment and the arguments of the author. But as a book, it comes across more as a rant than an objective discussion of the issues. Dan Beard's publication has a great title and is filled with an insider's critical views of the national political process that results in the mismanagement of our nation's water resources. Some of the information he shared is not new - the tree rings and over allocation of water has been known for decades…

didn't have much sympathy for the people that contributed and supported the new reservoir. He continued to argue against the defenders defending the likings of Lake Powell. He wanted to "shut down the Glen Canyon power plant, open the diversion tunnels, and drain the reservoir." This will "expose a dreary and hideous scene: immense mud flats and who plateaus of sodden garbage strewn with dead trees, sunken boats, the skeletons of long-forgotten, decomposing water-skiers." Abbey does this to show…

Four decades ago, Edward Abbey's iconic novel "The Monkey Wrench Gang" served as a wake-up call to environmental activists. In it, self-appointed guardians of the Colorado River become so incensed by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam that they conspire to detonate the massive 710- foot concrete structure. Although the dam remains intact, the sentiment behind removing the dam has since resurfaced. Both Lake Powell, the reservoir formed by the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead, located 300…

Picasso said: “When I was young I could draw and paint like Raphael. It’s taken me a lifetime to draw like a child” (Keane). This is the mindset of an artist. Their “spirit is that of freedom and fearlessness” (Keane). Each artist has a sense of childlike wonder towards their craft and are given the opportunity to express something beautiful. Disney animator Glen Keane said “When you draw, you express something real and visceral. When making a line, it’s sort of a seismograph of your soul. The…

father-daughter relationship is not about one over the other, they both learn to accept and see the other side’s point of view to better understand each other, which is a part of growing as a family and as a person. While Ariel is known for her teenage rebellion, her body is something that seems unreal for a teenager to the average viewer. When building the character of Ariel, Glen Keane was inspired by a multitude of women, including Alyssa Milano, Sherri Stoner, and even his wife (Duca,…
