    After Luck and Spellbound did unimpressive numbers on streaming (though Luck is Apple’s most viewed kids/family title) and Swapped did very well on Netflix (2nd for its animated originals behind KPDH), there are two films left in the deal: Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn and Rich Moore’s Beanstalk film.

    Imo Charlie’s one of the “anti Disney Princess” tropes. There’s Guinevere (KoG) Utena (RGU) Ellian (Spellbound movie) and there’s Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin. Not comparing shows but there’s a type of princess savior character who is “good” but there’s no “happily ever after.”

    I really liked Spellbound (2024)! Am I crazy?. I almost didn't watch Spellbound on Netflix, because it got such bad ratings on imdb (5.5) and Rotten Tomatoes (48%, 47%). But I did and I have to say: It's actually pretty good! It's very funny and imaginative and has something to say. Sure, it's not perfect. It didn't have me on the edge of my seat the whole time and the songs didn't stay with me much after, but it honestly doesn't deserve these ratings! I mean it's a kids movie and it fully…

    'Spellbound' (1945) it's set in a mental hospital and involves a murder mystery. the branch under the movie title looks like the one on Taylor's website. Constance draws a shape (a pool) on the tablecloth. the way she draws it makes it look like parentheses!!!!

    I mean, it’s bad enough that Luck and Spellbound made the WDAS films post-Encanto and pre-Zootopia 2 look like masterpieces in comparison. And I’m having questions about Swapped becoming the second most watched animated film on Netflix behind KPop Demon Hunters.

    Just finished watching Wish and Spellbound (first movies of the year). Both are underwhelming movies, but I will say that Wish definitely put more effort in the story and music than Spellbound, which tries way too hard to be a WDAS wannabe movie, despite decent visuals.

    It's cool that this film came out the same year (and outgrossed) Hitchcock's Spellbound. The latter's memorable "dream sequence" is very hallucinatory, but there are parts of Leave Her to Heaven that feel even more dreamlike. The vast expanses the characters cross, the odd bits of dialogue...

    Yeah, for something that was supposed to be based on the movie Spellbound, there was surprising lack of ghosts. Goblin had more & that wasn’t even the main focus. I wish for #SpookyInLove they had focused more on the crime solving aspect of the ghosts & left out all that stupid family BS.

    TIL Spellbound was supposed to be called Split. Really interesting, because unlike the original film, which I didn’t watch far enough to see the divorce reveal (which I assume happens pretty far in), this would have been weird, but kinda fit for the divorce theme of the film.

You likely won't need that many forma, I just had to swap polarities sometime ago so that's why there's 6. Helminth is optional but if you use base build and use her 1 to hover Archon Stretch will be useless. Helminth in this build is Spectrorage. Archon Stretch procs via…

    I blame their goofy programming again. Instead of going from Mockingbird to Spellbound they should have had Valley of Decision as the second movie. Not just because I love it but because it was also released in 1945 and it’s not as intense. Mockingbird was intense enough without going to Spellbound.
