Watching my first real Disney movie in possibly 10 years and I need your opinion as the Disney expert (cause you know me I've seen like 4 Disney movies)
Is Jungle cruise a good Disney movie in your opinion?
Is it regarded as a cult classic like the lion king (which I haven't seen) ?
What's your opinion on it as someone who's from South America?
I only signed up for watching this movie cause Jack Whitehall is in it, but as I'm watching it I ended up disliking him super quickly, he feels like a bad stereotype of a possible gay character or just the average American depiction of British upper-class prick.
So far nobody broke into a song which I have to give the movie some credit for.

So, I haven't watched Jungle Cruise yet (Emprex did, so they are more qualified to talk about it), but I do recomend this podcast talking about it in the context of jungle adventure movies portrayal of Latin America:
In this podcast episode we investigate the new adventure film Jungle Cruise. Disney’s latest attempt to turn a theme park attraction into a blockbuster movie tries to sidestep some of the ride’s more racist history but still leans on tropes of exoticism and colonial adventurism. We also discuss Disney’s baffling choice to include a series of gay jokes in the movie. Two guests join host Jonathan McIntosh for this conversation: Professor of literature and culture Felicia Lopez and professor of law Carl Williams.
There was an attempt of Disney to market Whitehall's characters as the milionth "Disney's first Gay Character", but it was a really vague aproach so most of the queer comunity didn't really care.
In recent yes, few of the live action movies have been musicals. The height of the live action Disney musicals were between the 60s and 70s, and usually included interaction with 2-D animated animal characters.
As for me being of South America, I will say that there is a problem with the industry in the US and Europe as a whole where south american cultures historically have been used interchangeably, and in the proccess you have movies where "brazilians" are show to have spanish names and speaking spanish (when our language is brazilian portuguese) and the capital of our country is either Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires (it is actually the city of Brasilia, which was inaugurated and replaced Rio de Janeiro as the center of goverment in 1960).

A bow on view of the battleship USS New Jersey. (BB-62) leading the American battle line. She is followed by the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) and the nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser USS Long Beach (CGN-9) with other screening vessels following astern of the cruiser. The photograph was taken from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN-65), off the coast of Yokosuka, Japan.

Cap!Sam has appeared in theme park stuff, a cruise ship feature and an advert. Presumably this stuff is all in their contracts with disney.
He's not appeared in any canon mcu project since tfatws. He's not been mentioned in any canon mcu project since tfatws.
So, the promotional content that makes Disney money gets made. The bare courtesy of mentioning him in another show doesn't happen.
I don't want to be too negative- the cruise ship clip looks fun! But I think there's a depressing element to this, I get why people might be bothered by it.

Top Gun (1986). As students at the United States Navy's elite fighter weapons school compete to be best in the class, one daring young pilot learns a few things from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the classroom.
It was such a weird thing to watch this back-to-back with Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge. Released the same year, and both nominated at the 59th Academy Awards, they touch on similar themes of sun-soaked masculinity and patriotism, but it's infinitely more palatable (and successful as a propaganda tool) in Top Gun. I feel like that's a testament not only to the charisma of its star-studded cast, but also to Tony Scott's direction which leans into the fun and the fantasy at practically every turn. It's not really my vibe, but I get it, y'know? 7/10.
