Cinderella's ball gown transformation (1950) or Elsa's ice gown transformation (2013)?
Cinderella's! You're not surprised.
Cinderella's came first. She's the OG of princess dress transformations. Elsa's is derivative of it. Cinderella's gets brownie points.
Cinderella's dress transformation was a reward from a higher power for her faith and strength of character. Elsa's dress transformation, on the other hand, was just her treating herself to a glow-up for...running away from her responsibikities and fears.
Both dresses are supposed to reflect the true-self of the girl wearing it. The difference is, Elsa's came at a time when she was literally singing about the mindset she needed to grow out of. It would be like Simba manifesting a crown in the middle of singing "Hakuna Matata." When he's run from his responsibility, abandoned the people who relied on him, rejected who he really is, and is running from his past mistakes and present flaws. Sureeee. Let's celebrate, have a fancy new outfit, Simba, so we can commemorate your moment of triumph, going from crown prince to lazy bug-eating mother-abandoning loafer in the woods. Elsa's doing the same thing. She's singing about "letting it go," but it's not "let go of my inhibitions," because her "inhibitions" were only in place to make her feel like she had control over whether or not she hurt others. And she doesn't gain that until after embracing self-sacrificial love. So what's she really "letting go" of? Responsibility. The environment where she had to think about others instead of herself. Risk. 🙄 And that's her big dress-transformation moment.
Meanwhile Cinderella's dress comes at a moment where she's done everything she can do, she's had faith, and a good attitude, and so much good will toward the mean, low creatures who are her stepfamily that the last thing she did was run down and ask them, sweetly, if they like her dress before they rip it to pieces. She's been kicked to her lowest moment, and all along, she's never lost faith.
And right when she's about to, her Fairy Godmother appears and shows her that she was right to be good, kind, faithful, no matter what her circumstances were. Her dress is a reminder of a real triumph: you're not a friendless ragged orphan servant. You're really a queen, on the inside, because you're high above the villains in virtue. You're compassionate, you're gracious, you're selfless, you're kind. You take care of others, like a benevolent Queen: That's who you are, no matter what your circumstances tell you, and here's a dress to illustrate it.
Tumblr media
Elsa's dress is all about her circumstances and how happy she is that she's run from them. Cinderella's dress is all about who she is on the inside, regardless of her circumstances.
...and it's prettier and more iconic and the animation is both those things, too.

Whizzer & Mendel and Trina & Marvin are smoking buddies, Mendel and Whizzer smoke actual joints and blunts and Trina and Marvin eat edibles and use a shared bong none of them wanted to split in the divorce. Trina just relaxes and chills out while Marvin rambles on about literally anything on his mind and Whizzer and Mendel are just up and about everywhere.

A random assortment of Foo gifs I have made in the last while that will never really be used anywhere, so I'll do random dump of them in service of putting more Foo content into the world
Gif 1 : A moment from the Cheese and Grain show in 2017 that I took the liberty of writing dialog for. Seems accurate
Gifs 2 and 3: couple moments from 24 Hours of Foo, first one I just love the casual familiarity of it. second one is David at peak delirium caused by no sleep
Gif 4: just great acting by the boys AND the characters the boys are playing in Studio 666
Gif 5: Shifty's impression of his kids when he mentioned he was thinking of joining tiktok. from this interview
Gif 6: Dave definitely not impressed from the 2006 Skin and Bones DVD
Gifs 7 and 8: Dave calling out the fan who yelled Monkey Wrench earlier from the webcast of Live at Letterman in 2011
Gif 9: Taylor being adorable in the Making A Fire video
Gif 10: Requested by a person on reddit - Dave with the whoopee cushion from the 2023 Crown Royal spot
Gif 11: Chris fishing for a hug from Pat at the 2015 broken leg gig in Sweden
Gifs 12 and 13: Dave having A LOT of fun at Rock Am Ring 2015 only days before gif 11
Gif 14: Animation from the FF pinball machine, I can't explain it but their expressions and stances just seem so accurate to me there lol

It’s that time of year again (thinking about how much of a dream role Mendel Weisenbachfeld is)
