Game #45: Dumbo

Freakie-Deakies Need Love, Too

Picture
We've been making drinking games for over a year now, but we've managed to skirt around a major nostalgia bank: old Disney movies.

Believe me, this was done on pure accident. After all, what better way to mix childhood and adulthood pleasures than by playing a drinking game to movies made by the most popular animation studio of all time? Especially now, since they seem to be heading towards another renaissance? Disney's past three animated films ("Tangled", "Wreck-it-Ralph" and newly crowned Oscar winner "Frozen") have all showcased the new life being breathed into the studio and let us know that Disney's back to writing good stories and taking chances again.

Today we're looking at the studio's fourth effort, "Dumbo", a movie made with extrodinary creativity and care. A masterwork of animation, composition and storytelling. A hotbed of racism and upholder of negative stereotypes.

Wait, what?

Game #35: The Nightmare Before Christmas

"I Feel Like Louise Bourgeois is Orgasming Somewhere."

Picture
Well, it's November. Halloween has come and gone, but the memories and the hangovers still remain. Maybe you stuffed your face with candy, or maybe you drowned your sorrows in liquor. Or maybe you didn't do a thing because Halloween was on a Thursday this year and dammit, you had work in the morning. What, does everyone expect you to forsake your good health for some cheap thrills and a costume contest or two? You're a busy guy.

Not to worry, friend, because that's what holiday weekends are for (or any weekend, really). And there are few better ways to celebrate Halloween than by watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. A beautiful labor of love, this stop-motion classic was beloved by many creepy children who grew up in the 90's. With its catchy songs, its breathtaking animation and its unique take on Halloween AND Christmas, it earns its title as a holiday staple.

Perhaps you don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe you've never seen this movie, but wondered what the fuss was about. If you haven't, it's about time you've begun.

Game #16: The Simpsons

It Keeps Going, and Going, and Going...

Picture
This entry brings television month to a close. And what better way to end the month than with the longest running sitcom outside syndication? 

The Simpsons has been on the air for 24 YEARS, and with good reason. Before Matt Groening took network television by storm, airing an animated show for adults was not recommended, especially in a prime-time slot on a network as reputable as FOX. Now the concept is De Riguer for most networks, and the series itself has been highly influential in the realms of animation, sitcoms, and comedy in general. This show brought cartoons back into the spotlight, and continues to lampoon American pop culture to this day.

But can a show really run for longer than the lifespan of most viewers of this blog, still crank out joke after joke, and stay relevant to the general American populace? And can there be a drinking game that will accurately encompass 24 years of television? We sat down to find out.

"Jesus!" "No, Moses!"

Chances are you have something to celebrate this week! This Sunday is Easter Sunday, and Passover has been observed during the past few days. These major holidays should be spent with family, observing your faith, and pigging out on Cadbury eggs and matzah. You know, the finer things in life.

But you know a little part of you wants to sneak away after all the festivities, get some ceremonial wine and call your besties to indulge in a little blasphemous activity. We won't judge you. That's the Lord's job. We're just here to provide structure to your shenanigans, and make sure your drunken escapades are clean and wholesome. And what's more clean and wholesome than the Old Testament?

The river turns into what, now? 

Hoo, boy.

Game #5: The Land Before Time

"Do You Know the Way to the Great Valley?"

Picture
There's one scene that all of you remember from this movie: Littlefoot's mother dies after fending off a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex during an earthquake. It's one of the saddest animated movie deaths of all time, and it's not even Disney produced. 

Did you know there's a PLOT? And really cool characters? And deep spiritual undertones?

I remembered the first fifteen minutes of this movie, the ending, and not much else. What gives? Speaking for our merry band, it's not that we forgot the details of this movie. We repressed them.
