  Animating the Victorians -...

  Many Disney films adapt works from the Victorian period, which is often called the Golden Age of children's literature. Animating the Victorians: Disney's Literary History explores Disney's adaptations of Victorian texts like Alice in Wonderland, Oliver Twist, Treasure Island, Peter Pan, and the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Author Patrick C. Fleming traces those adaptations from initial concept to theatrical release and beyond to the sequels, consumer products, and theme park attractions that make up a Disney franchise. During the production process, which often extended over decades, Disney's writers engaged not just with the texts themselves but with the contexts in which they were written, their authors' biographies, and intervening adaptations. 
  Linking the Disney Princess franchise to Victorian ideologies shows how gender and sexuality are constantly being renegotiated. Disney's animated musicals, theme parks, copyright practices, and even marketing campaigns depend on cultural assumptions, legal frameworks, and media technologies that emerged in nineteenth-century England. By applying scholarship in Victorian studies to a global company, Fleming shows how institutions mediate our understanding of the past and demonstrates the continued relevance of literary studies in a corporate media age.

  SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY EDGAR WRIGHT 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The story follows Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bassist in the indie rock band Sex Bob-Omb, who falls for Ramona Flowers, an enigmatic woman with a complicated past. To win her heart, Scott must face and defeat her seven evil exes in a series of surreal, video game-inspired battles. The film blends visual effects, comic book elements, and fast-paced action with themes of love, self-discovery, and personal growth, all wrapped in a quirky, energetic tone. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “At the first Battle of the Bands, Scott is seen wearing a "Plumtree" t-shirt. Plumtree, an all-girl indie rock band, released the song "Scott Pilgrim" on their 1998 album Predicts the Future. This song was the inspiration for Bryan Lee O'Malley to create the graphic novel's title character.” 
    
  “To avoid an R-Rating, the word "Fuck" said by Envy to Julie had to be bleeped out because Scott Pilgrim calls Todd Ingram a "cocky-cock" earlier in the film.” 
    
  “The star on Ramona's bag changes to match her hair color.” 
    
  “The stunt doubles for Lucas Lee are the actual stunt doubles for actor Chris Evans. However, only a quarter of the doubles resemble Evans.”

  TAXI DRIVER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a mentally troubled Vietnam War veteran who becomes a night-shift taxi driver in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. Struggling with chronic insomnia and loneliness, Travis’s disillusionment with society grows as he witnesses the city's corruption and moral decay. Obsessed with saving a young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), and seeking a sense of purpose, Travis begins to spiral into violent thoughts. The film explores themes of isolation, existentialism, and the psychological consequences of trauma, set against the gritty backdrop of 1970s urban America. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Steven Prince improvised the list of additional illegal things Easy Andy had for sale after Travis buys the guns.” 
    
  “Due to a garbage strike, much of the on-screen filth is real.” 
    
  “Paul Schrader originally envisioned the character of Travis with Jeff Bridges in mind.” 
    
  “Robert De Niro's on-and-off girlfriend in the 1970s, Diahnne Abbott, appears as the concession girl in the porno theater near the beginning of the film.” 
    
  “The girl who Martin Scorsese studied to prepare for the role of Iris (played by Jodie Foster) also appears in the film as Iris' friend on the street.”
