Apres Culture

This week we’re talking animation with friend of the show Daniel Barcroft, starting with Finding Dory, Pixar’s beautiful, funny ode to the abilities of the differently abled. Then we check in on our complicated feelings about Disney’s princess empire, from how Disney has tried to adapt its model to match the times, to how toy companies’ marketing models can actually determine the entertainment girls are allowed to watch. Pull up a chair and prepare to think heavy thoughts about kids’ cartoons—it’s time for Après Culture. Arnold Palmer Mix equal parts lemonade and iced tea (sweetened or not, to your taste) over ice. For a John Daly, add a shot of citron vodka. NEXT WEEK The Sandlot (1993) Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013)
