He adds batteries too! [lol]

EDIT: Awkward page topper. Need to add more meat.

I'm pretty sure that pen would've lost its charge at some point if it was that long. So Nick replaced batteries or charges it periodically on the OFF-CHANCE that Judy might come back.

And like an average male, he never explicitly says he's sorry and he misses her, never looks for her either. NEVER CALLS HER EITHER. note  [lol]

Guys have a roundabout way of apology. Gotta keep the machismo up, after all.

DON'T MAKE ME PUT ON MY SHIPPING GOGGLES AGAIN DAMMIT

Jokes aside, Nick makes a lot of amazing gestures that really show the strength of their friendship.

Also, I find it kinda funny that Judy and Nick have better chemistry than most Designated Disney Couples, not that those other couples are bad. Don't kill me.

Whether platonic or romantic, it's easily the best part of the movie.

I worked in a store where we sold crocs, among other things, and at least five pairs went every day. Their popularity surprised just about everyone. tongue

And six months passed?? That's really weird, I think everyone assumed it was just a few weeks. O.o

Never had a pair in the first place. Every time someone tries to put some on me I have to drop them into Mount Doom. No shipping goggle here.

Also, yeah, if it actually was six months (which both makes sense but also feels sort of weird) then Nick is a helluva guy for holding on to that pen for that long. It also shows how much their friendship meant to him despite being hurt so bad that he wasn't willing to give that up.

Quite a lot of timeskips in this movie actually. There's Judy's childhood to adulthood, the period between her leaving the city and coming back, and Nick going through police academy.

The Japanese version of Try Everything to celebrate them (finally) getting the movie next week.

Are people getting the six months thing from the newspaper Judy is wrapping carrots in though? Pretty sure those would just be old newspapers they're using, not the current ones. I could get behind one or even two months passing, six sounds like an exaggeration.

Edit: I just recalled the newspapers mentioning the predators gone savage stories so I guess it might be correct after all. Weird to think Judy just went sulking for half a year though.

[up][up][up][up][up] The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Shipping Goggles didn't exist.

And just like that, *poof* they're on.

This is the main reason I prefer to ignore timespans in movies. They're just too much of a headache to think about.

The movie Boyhood made it work, I guess.

Judging by the events that are shown, I think it's more likely that the majority of the timeskip happened between the press conference and Judy quitting than Judy being in Bunnyburrow. I can see her trying to wait it out and hoping things get better for several months, not so much spending six months without running into her parents' local business partner.

So, would you say this is the darkest Disney movie yet? Haven't seen it yet, but from what i've read, it definitely sounds that way.

I mean, what other Disney films have dealt with racism, police brutality, the War On Drugs, government conspiracy, corruption, and possibly class warfare all in the same movie, with Fanservice and Getting Crap Past the Radar, and heavy Film Noir influences on top?

The paper that wraps the carrots says November? Or does the paper with the big headline about the savage case say November?

Also the trees are awfully green for November

See, this? This is exactly why I don't care about this kind of thing. Does the exact length of time between Judy leaving the city and Judy coming back actually affect the story in any meaningful way? I generally just accept the idea that it's "some time later" and go from there.

Bunny Barrows seems to fit in with areas of the Southern US, where trees can stay green almost year-round, depending on the area.

Yeah, the trees here can still be doing pretty well in November.

But yeah, it was most likely "stay in the city and try to be a cop for several months, then finally quit after Bellwether wants to make her the public face of the ZPD, then go home."

"So, would you say this is the darkest Disney movie yet? Haven't seen it yet, but from what i've read, it definitely sounds that way."

I think 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has that one sewn up.

Also Fantasia. Well ok, only the parts involving Chernabog.

Helps that the movie isn't about them romancing each other so we don't have to rush from "Hi, I just met you!" to wedding bells in less than two hours.
