@ everyone saying “we should do a 20k Leagues Daily next” in the tags of that meme i drew: no we should not. i love that book as much as the next guy but i ask you, my fellow captain nemo stans, to consider how many times aronnax just goes “didn’t see the captain for two weeks. no further notes!” and then imagine that in email form. complete radio silence for the better part of a month…… and then out of nowhere you’re rewarded for your saintly patience by being blasted with five thousand words of aronnax listing sea creatures like yakko naming countries in animaniacs

obsessed with this specific subset of classic novels
RE: aronnax comments: hot girl summer is NOT to be confused with nautical girl summer. aronnax’s hot girl summer-school had to come to a swift and jarring end before he could enjoy a wet ‘n’ wild nautical girl summer with captain nemo
just saw these tags in my activity and?? hello??? there’s like four (4) characters with names in the entire book????? does the nemo/aronnax tag on ao3 mean nothing to you
The Color of Friendship mentions two real-world works of literature, Roots and Cry the Beloved Country. Consider the role of books and reading in other Disney Channel Original Movies. Though we’ve seen several nerd characters, these nerds were defined by their interest in science, not their interest in reading. Under what circumstances do characters read in Disney Channel Original Movies? Consider the Halloweentown picture book in Halloweentown and Jess’s gift of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in The Thirteenth Year. What does it mean for a character in a DCOM to read a real book versus an in-universe book? What effect does this reading have, both on the character and on the viewer’s perception of that character?
