0:00
coming up on reframed along with this week's special guest toby and today
0:06
we'll be discussing the disney film called luca so the intersectional uh queen
0:14
there's some progress happening but we need so much more and it would be nice it would happen faster
0:19
it's been a struggle um yeah i just like see pretty things that i'm like oh i love it
0:26
okay big girl paddy's on you've got this
0:37
welcome back everyone to reframed the podcast that reframes how disability is portrayed in film and tv i'm your host
0:44
jason climo and today i have my wonderful co-host robin lambert with me along with this week's special guest
0:51
toby and today we'll be discussing the disney film called luca but before we
0:56
get into discussing luka let's say hello to toby and learn a bit a little bit more about them so welcome to the
1:02
podcast toby did you just want to start off by uh introducing yourself telling everyone a bit about you
1:08
cool hi hello um yep so i am a disabled woman who
1:14
lives with uh osteogenesis imperfecta um i grew up in the foster care system
1:20
and um i am a bisexual woman who is also muslim and i talk about it quite often
1:28
um on tv um in podcasts like today
1:33
and um i do lots of different like blogs and stuff like that to try and draw
1:38
awareness and i call myself to the intersectional uh queen
1:45
pretty much because i pretty much tick all the boxes not on purpose but
1:50
that's how it kind of came about but yeah i was born with a muslim name all
1:55
my family are muslim and i always like to talk about you know what what it was like being in the foster care system etc
2:03
etc i'm also a dancer um i've been dancing for most of my life since i was
2:09
about 13 years old uh i do contemporary afrobeats all kinds
2:14
of different dances indian all kinds and i use a wheelchair um full time
2:21
but yeah so that's me i mean i've also i've broken 78 bows
2:27
and i am only 29 years old so yeah my experience has been a bit
2:33
crazy and i also lived in 18 different foster homes as well so i've got quite a story
2:41
that's got to be like one of the most in-depth introductions we've ever had that's like you got everything going
2:48
yes literally and just to add i was the first disabled black woman to work with
2:54
mtv uk as well wow yeah awesome let's get to that like
3:00
very soon but very important question first does uh the intersectional queen roll does that
3:07
come with like a really cool crown well i've got my own crown you see it's
3:12
called an afro yeah so yeah i love that yeah
3:19
um i hold it dear to me because it's it's like a badge almost you know a badge of honor i'm proud of it yeah you
3:26
sound very proud about that that's awesome did you want to maybe explain a little bit more to our listeners about what intersectionality means because i
3:33
think a few of them might not have really heard of that term too much sure so
3:38
i don't know how it came about but to my knowledge intersectionality is when a person um
3:46
kind of fits various tick box exercises as such so
3:51
they kind of um cover all different um minorities that generally are not given
3:59
enough opportunities and given enough chances to speak in
4:04
professional settings i believe that's how intersectionality came about perhaps
4:10
if you're disabled and you happen to be part of the lgbtq community that means
4:15
you would be a you know an intersectional person because you have two um minority
4:23
groups that you've kind of fit into so that's what it basically means perfect
4:29
yeah and i guess why do you think it's so important that you know i guess why is it so important to you that people with disability are
4:36
represented in general but i think you'll probably take a very a more in-depth lens and talk about
4:42
intersectionality as well possibly i think it's really important because
4:48
we're in 2022 now and um there's so much opportunity
4:55
um create room in um these new markets that are
5:01
coming out and trying to be inclusive um keyword trying um i think just adding
5:08
disability to it actually adds a really like important
5:13
um line there because anyone can be disabled at any point in their life
5:19
um or they may have somebody that's in their family that they might not understand
5:24
and they proudly say oh i've got someone who's disabled in my family but they don't truly understand what that means
5:30
and so it's really important for representation to be out there for
5:35
family members for children for elderly people for all kinds of people from different age groups to actually
5:42
understand what it means to have a disability specifically yeah and i'm
5:47
really curious you mentioned that you're a wheelchair dancer which is um very exciting i was curious though how have
5:53
you found those spaces to be particularly inclusive or have you sort of struggled to gain representation in
5:59
that area it's been a struggle i changed the national curriculum for
6:06
gcse dance in the uk uh when i was around 14.
6:12
so it was it was hard because i really had to like
6:18
i had to fight a lot for myself for my friend uh he is he used electric
6:24
wheelchair and my other friend who has an intellectual disability so before instagram or before social media i've
6:31
always been really really um passionate about like inclusion and um especially in the dance
6:39
world because i think dance is what i love about dance is you can
6:44
literally move uh in dance with just your eyes or your head and that was one of the things that
6:50
my friend was doing in his exam and i i we fought for that especially myself i
6:56
fought for that um so i just i think dance is getting there
7:03
but it's still very very um linear in terms of um opportunities to
7:09
be in broadway in um you know in big shows that are across the country um
7:16
it's really hard to see representation uh still
7:21
um but yeah i think i think it's getting better but it it needs work definitely like most of our
7:29
industries i feel like there's some progress happening but we need so much more and it would be nice
7:34
it would happen faster exactly hurry up literally and on that did you want to um
7:42
i love that you were one of the first black disabled women women to work with mtv did you want to tell us a bit more
7:48
about that yeah so do you know what it kind of happened by accident
7:56
um a friend yeah like a friend of mine we kind of been working
8:02
together with a it's a project called the tope project um it basically
8:09
came about because a young person from the foster care system sadly took their life and
8:16
around christmas time so around christmas time they created a place a space
8:24
of love and acceptance and um where care leavers of all walks of life
8:31
could come on christmas day and not be by themselves what we would do is go to different
8:37
companies and share our stories and and give people
8:43
an understanding of what it means to be actually intersectional um and what does that look like and
8:49
because often what happens when people want to include disabled people or black people or
8:55
or the lgbtq community they do not think about the crossover of living in foster
9:01
care or something like that and not coming from such a privileged life
9:07
so um basically a day we all went out on a day
9:12
out to empty no in what's called in viacom that's it to viacom so viacom is
9:19
like it's like it covers uh nickelodeon channel 5
9:26
mtv bet all that so we met with all the kind of like
9:32
top directors producers etc etc and we literally sat
9:38
there and we did a few games and stuff like that and we went round in the table there was like different tables
9:45
and you'd get a certain amount of time to speak to them so
9:50
essentially i was the only person who had a visible disability
9:57
and i wanted to make sure that i represented it well
10:02
not just because i'm a black woman but because of the fact that i am disabled and there are lots of people who come
10:09
from the foster care system who get forgotten from the disabled community so um
10:16
i sat down um and spoke to this lady who works for bet
10:22
and mtv and stuff like that and i was scared however i knew that this was my
10:27
chance to make you know make a real difference so i was like okay
10:33
big girl paddy's on you've got this literally
10:38
okay it's fine it's fine i'm good um
10:44
but yeah so i just sat in front of this lady and she looked so at first she was so stern and serious
10:51
and i kind of just made a bit of a you know i just made a bit of a joke of it and just kind of told you i gave her a
10:58
rundown of who i am what i do blah blah blah why it's really important to be inclusive and that um beyond today i
11:06
would love to like work with you guys on real inclusivity
11:12
um and there was some pushback you know a few other other people in other departments um
11:19
i can't say what just other departments were very they were very like yes well we you know
11:26
we've we've hired disabled uh um inclusion people and and i'm like okay
11:32
but is that inclusion person able-bodied because often able-bodied people speak
11:39
for us and i have a problem with that because those who actually live with
11:44
disabilities have the skills and they're not being hired and they are living below the poverty line and you're taking
11:51
up their space so uh anyway eventually she was like do you know what i like
11:57
and i said i like you too so she was like you've got to come back
12:03
so i came back and i dressed all night i had my afro out i was giving
12:08
i
12:15
so i was like really ready for it and um i really just explained everything i
12:22
showed um the inclusion team and this lady
12:27
you know different people who are on instagram at the moment and making lots of changes and differences from all
12:34
different walks of life and that if they sort of had me on i would be able to
12:41
include these people um and essentially i want to create my own like
12:47
tv network or tv channel for disabled actors singers dancers and producers and
12:53
so on to give them proper um representation rather than a little snippet of like a documentary
13:00
or something because we're more than documented and we're more than just two minutes of
13:07
um a clip so yeah essentially she then said you know okay we'll get back to you and then
13:13
that yeah the rest was history i came back and i filmed lots of times it was
13:19
so much fun the first thing i did was um was about fear
13:24
and um it was with a young man who he contracted hiv his first time having um
13:33
you know a relationship and um he talks about his experience being a
13:40
gay man and he uses his poetry so well i love him to
13:47
pieces and i i then spoke about my experience being
13:53
in the foster care system and how both of us we use our art um here's his
13:58
poetry mine is dance how we use our art um to be our power and our strength
14:04
and to overcome those fears you know um being part of the lgbtq community and
14:11
being you know disabled and blah blah so um you you know feel free to look it up
14:17
it's on just put mtv toby or something like that and it'll come straight up and
14:22
you'll see um it's there but yeah it was it was so much fun and uh hopefully this year
14:28
we'll be able to do some more stuff that would be amazing definitely let me know as well because i'd love to share
14:34
that stuff on my own instagram which speaking of um before we head over to
14:40
analyze luca the film the disney film i just wanted to give you the opportunity to uh let all of our people following
14:47
along our reframers know where they can find you on social media how they could
14:52
possibly work with you if they wanted to or if they just want to follow you yes so i have a page on instagram and
15:00
twitter and i believe facebook called tough cookie tea t-o-u-g-h
15:07
cookie t-e-e um and i believe i've also got a youtube
15:13
channel as well where i talk about being in care and stuff and i also have created something called
15:19
disabled black power tv uh we haven't launched anything at the moment but we're hoping to this year um
15:27
to share some more information about different people who are out there who are disabled and black
15:35
cool if it sounds awesome again definitely let me know when that launches that sounds really cool
15:40
and everybody go follow toby she's obviously amazing and so much fun [Music] [Laughter]
15:50
now i think it's time to analyze luka robin did you just want to give us a bit of an overview of luca so luca is an
15:58
animated disney film it's a little bit of a coming of age story i think with a bit of a fantasy twist um and it follows
16:06
luca who's a sea monster um that discovers he has this ability to
16:11
take human form and he then goes and explores the french riviera with his friend alberto and i guess
16:18
of interest to us uh he he meets a character named julia along the way i think while he's trying to escape from a
16:23
bully or something like that um and julia's dad massimo uh has a disability he is an amputee um and that is
16:31
portrayed in the film and i love this so
16:48
um toby did you want to kick us off and just let us know what you've like felt and thought about the disability
16:53
representation in the film yeah i liked that they didn't make it like a
16:58
big thing um there was a moment that i
17:04
realized um i can't remember who it was but they were scared of of him but i don't think it was based on the
17:11
arm on his arm missing i think it was just the face that he's quite big uh he's quite bored he's kind of a scary
17:18
looking guy he's massive like like it's pretty scary-looking
17:24
yeah so i liked i liked that for some reason i liked it because it humanized
17:30
him it made him more human you know what i mean and he he told you know he told the story that shark or something bit
17:37
bit him or whatever yeah it was just funny i don't know i liked how he just didn't make it a big thing
17:45
you know what i mean and the kids just accepted it yeah i love them yeah yeah i think um one of the um main
17:52
characters asks or sort of looks and looks like at his arm
17:57
um and then he notices and then he says to them oh i see monster took it because like
18:03
obviously spoilers the whole thing is that like the town hates the sea monsters and then
18:08
they like make up at the end um and he makes this joke that a sea monster took out and then he says no i just came into
18:15
the world this way and i really loved that because it was just like this and then the kids were just like okay like
18:21
it was just this perfect moment where i was like that's how it should be i loved yes and also like it just reminded me of
18:28
like my experiences of like talking to kids about like my physical disability as well because i'm a manual wheelchair
18:34
user um and kids are just so much more like you're inquisitive but as soon as you
18:40
tell them they're just like okay that's what that is moving on can you push me on the swing now
18:45
yeah literally yeah but like as long as you can like entertain me and like get me
18:51
food or something i'm fine but i feel like adults are the ones that have like all the hang-ups attached but
18:57
yeah i loved it too because i think like the media so often focuses on like some
19:02
kind of tragic backstory and for like so many of us it's just how we were born like everyone
19:07
asked me oh my gosh what happened to you and it's like well my mom had me and then here i am like
19:14
so also like you know you could say that i had like a tragic story because i
19:19
acquired my impairment but like i don't want to talk about it all the time especially not with strangers
19:26
in those films yeah even like animation films like if they were like explaining what happened
19:32
and like how did this happen i'm like this just instills in people watching that it's like okay to ask because
19:38
they're going to get an answer whereas like when people ask me i'm like it's not a business yeah so as i'm not
19:43
telling you yeah
19:48
i feel good on that one yeah but i'm glad like you guys both agree i've loved it so much um and
19:56
i feel like for me it was all about i guess the way that there was like no
20:02
reaction as well from anyone else in town like they just all knew him as massimo and that was just it
20:09
like it wasn't like yeah there was no like i guess no hang-ups about the fact that he was a person with disability and they
20:16
respected him as well they respected him it that's what i liked i and he made the
20:21
final decision when at towards the end spoiler towards the end um literally
20:28
they were gonna kill the sea monster the luca and his friend and literally he he
20:36
kind of like stepped up and like was kind of like the leader of the town as such
20:42
and i love that like yes come on leadership yeah i'm here for it
20:50
they just showed like really interesting ways of how he kind of had adapted to life without making it a big deal as
20:56
well i was just like a dad at the end of the day too like yeah yeah yeah yeah
21:02
yeah it was super dope yeah i'm so glad i'm so glad they they
21:08
made that and literally i'm gonna suggest it to anyone who
21:13
who has kids because even if they don't have kids i think that it's a good movie to watch you know i mean because yeah
21:21
it's a feel good as well as it's quite a good lesson to learn yeah um i think i kind of wrote because
21:29
i wrote some notes and um i felt like
21:35
even with the whole like stigma about like sea monsters and people being afraid of sea monsters
21:42
um i think that that's that's so poignant like with the times
21:48
that we're in right now because it's them and us kind of thing you know
21:53
what i mean yeah everyone's very much
22:02
fear does not get you anywhere it doesn't it doesn't get you anywhere and i think
22:08
um them highlighting that i mean even um luca's parents were fearful of him you
22:14
know going on land and she they forbid him to go and
22:19
you know i loved oh what was the i think i wrote it down there was
22:24
um you said silence oh i did i did silencio something
22:31
before they do stuff like before because basically bruno yeah yeah that's it's valencia
22:38
bruno that's it yeah yeah before like literally he wanted both luca and his friend garcia was it
22:44
garcia or something alberta i don't remember anyway yeah alberto that's it there we go
22:50
i don't know where i got anyway um uh i liked that when they wanted to
22:55
build their bike and they wanted to go down the hill with the bike you know he was luca was really scared and
23:03
he was like just say salazio bruno and then he just did it and again another
23:08
lesson to learn um about just being fearful and scared like
23:14
once you overcome those fears it really it it's
23:20
i don't know like your your body is at ease as such and you become much more accepting of people which is what we
23:26
really need right now you know with so many different groups it would have been really easy for them
23:33
as well to like fall into a bit of a trap where like massimo was like really
23:39
um you know related to the sea monsters because he was different too and i loved
23:44
that they didn't do that like i really felt like they would well i really felt like at one stage
23:50
they were going to fall into that trap and be like i'm different too that's why i relate to
23:55
them or something i think like we um we talked about shape of water last season and they really did that in that yeah it
24:01
was like i thought that's where yeah where it was like yes disability is not the same as like a monster like
24:08
yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah and i like love the overall themes
24:13
of acceptance so i love what you're saying there toby about like the lessons that we take away are so important
24:19
especially with kids movies there's always hidden lessons in there so i love that like disability was was throwing in
24:25
there as well so yeah i did i did a little bit of digging actually and i found out that one of the uh one of the
24:30
guys from the camp documentary uh actually did a bit of consulting on the film so that's i think one of the
24:37
reasons why it was such a good portrayal is because as always when you have people with that lived experience behind
24:42
the narrative it tends to come out a little bit better hey the only thing i actually also didn't look up was whether
24:48
the person who voiced the character was a person with disability i didn't either i know i think i'm gonna have to look
24:55
that up guys and then i'll do we'll make sure we put it out on social media and let you guys know yes um because that's
25:01
always such an important thing it's like our two things that we always bang on about is that like genuine representation is so important hire
25:08
disabled people in the role but also hire them behind the camera as well so um yeah i love that they've they've got
25:15
that consulting yeah that's so good yeah i do have one criticism we love it
25:20
we love it let's hear it yeah get it um
25:25
i felt that there wasn't enough diversity in terms of um race
25:33
that's my only criticism other than that i really liked the film um but i just felt like you know there
25:41
are people um in that town that are people of color so i think you know it
25:47
would have been good to you know sprinkle that in but again
25:52
at the same time um i think as people say change happens very slowly
26:00
and so we have to be patient so i am grateful that it's even come out and
26:06
there's a part of that you know i mean but that's my only other than that i'm ah but i
26:12
think we have to we have to talk about those things right because that's how things get better so you know there could have been other characters with
26:18
disability as well because like surely he wasn't the only person with a disability experience in that whole town
26:24
so you know there's it was nowhere near i mean not nowhere near but it wasn't perfect and i think we should definitely
26:31
you know reign it in because i think sometimes when we see something that's good we're like this is amazing when actually it's like no this is good what
26:38
we're actually striving for is a bit more than that um and i think that's really important and i guess on
26:43
affecting change like i love seeing disability representation in kids films like i love it because
26:51
sort of on this like similar i guess um pathway is like inclusive education is i
26:57
think the most effective way to actually create change into the future is actually like changing the perceptions that our
27:03
children have why young people have of disability because you know obviously the youth is the future and all of that
27:09
kind of can't be what they can't see right so they can't be these accepting people they don't get exposed to that
27:14
yeah but that's why i think like it's so awesome to see disney like get on that and do a solid job of it and
27:22
also like you've said robin hire disabled people you know i guess not behind the camera
27:27
but behind the scenes i guess we'll say to actually like steer that narrative correctly because
27:33
i think it's like you know i think like if i could choose like one type of film
27:38
that would be like perfectly inclusive right now it would be like kids films because we will see the impacts like in
27:44
10 years time it'll just make a huge difference but also like
27:49
adults learn so much from disney films yeah and we all let's let's be all honest like we do have that inner child
27:56
in us it doesn't ever go away um as much as you know there's lots of things that
28:01
we have to deal with as adults we are really all still you know children at heart um when we
28:07
get the chance to be children we you know we we fully dive in and have fun with the kids so
28:13
you know it is important um it makes it a lot more fun it's a good
28:18
um conversation if they wanted to have it later on they could because they what
28:25
sat down and watched the movie um together as a family that had something
28:31
slightly different i don't know though if i'm gonna i think what i'm gonna do i'm gonna ask a few of my friends to
28:38
watch the movie i wanna see what they say because i'm not sure whether they would have even
28:44
recognized like um how do i explain like i don't think
28:51
because like how you said it wasn't um it was subtle yeah that way yeah so
28:56
yeah i don't know whether it will be kind of like a subliminal for them which would be
29:02
good you know what i mean because sometimes when it's too obvious like we said before it's just a bit like cringe
29:10
so i want to know like what other people um who are able-bodied
29:15
um think when they watch it are they taking that lesson in i hope
29:21
i hope they are not lesson but um just appreciating it there we go like
29:27
appreciate yeah and possibly not but i think like even when they don't i guess like consciously
29:34
register disability and consciously register and appreciate it it's the subliminal messaging as well behind it
29:41
all it's like if we saw in every single um disney movie like a disabled character like that that was included
29:46
incidentally and it was like subtle enough that it wasn't like this big hoo-ha
29:51
um we would all eventually like subconsciously just start registering that as like normal like because we know
29:59
that it is normal that it would actually start actually normalizing i think that's that's even more powerful right
30:05
like if we can just watch something and not even pick up disability just appreciate the character
30:10
like that's what we want we want to just be appreciated as people not necessarily just as disabled people so
30:17
yeah literally yeah it's a good blueprint i think it's a good video and
30:22
it is definitely it makes it easier for like myself for example when i go into
30:27
um rooms that i have to speak to specific producers and directors and stuff and
30:33
they're like okay so give us the ideas and i'm like well so it kind of helps it kind of helps to
30:41
have something that i can kind of refer to and get them to do some homework of their own and actually
30:48
make you know a conscious effort right we like giving people homework it's not all our responsibility
30:53
[Laughter] literally literally you go do it okay
31:05
i think it's time to give our scores out of five on the inclusive disability representation scale robin did you want
31:11
to kick us off yeah i gave it a four and a half i thought it was it was pretty good maybe it is because we're getting
31:17
excited because it's adorable and whatever but yeah i thought it was a really good opportunity for kids and and
31:23
you know the adults who are forced to watch alongside them to just be exposed to disability in a way that i would want
31:29
my disability to be seen just as part of who i am um and yeah i love that and then obviously when i did a bit more digging
31:35
and i found out that you know disabled people were consulted and it kind of made sense so yeah i loved it i think
31:41
for me it's a four out of five because i think there was still that opportunity for a bit more
31:47
depth in there um he was an amazing character i loved that so much um love that he was a father
31:53
loved that he like had his own job like his own business like as a fisher like all of these amazing things and that it
31:59
was incidental and i love that you've brought up to me about the consulting behind the scenes robin um but i think that there was an
32:06
opportunity to probably have like other characters with disability as well because i feel like you know
32:11
that character itself was a five out of five but the representation the film um was a four because i'm like we can't
32:18
just have one anymore like i've had enough like there's not just one disabled person in every single town
32:24
that's not how i believe the world works nice so it's a four out of five for me
32:29
what about you toby toby
32:36
i don't know if i might be like really hard i know i'm like oh
32:43
whatever whatever you got says my guts is 3.5 sorry guys
32:51
uh just because um so like kind of like halfway i think
32:57
like i said i think there's some wiggle room to do better however i did really like it i really
33:04
really enjoyed it honestly i could watch it like 100 times i love the movie um but
33:11
yeah i think 3.5 i love that yeah no
33:16
we need to be harsh we need intersectionality we need all of those things so
33:21
yeah yeah i need to invite them guests that are like harsher than us like sometimes where too yeah i just like see pretty things that i'm like oh i love it
33:29
it's beautiful i love it that's a five out of five for
33:37
uh me it is i think like you know just to sort of finish off like disney have been
33:43
doing disability representation i guess for a while now like when you think about like finding nemo kind of days like
33:50
that's disability representation and it's kind of cool to see like how different it is now verse then like it was so like
33:57
dramatized in finding name i feel um without like naming it as disability it
34:03
was like quite dramatized and then i think you know something more modern like luca it's really cool to see
34:09
although not a main character something that is incidental and not dramatized and not like hi look at this
34:15
like yeah so i think there's some real opportunity for them to keep growing
34:20
going up why do you think that they are sort of delaying the main character to be disabled because i just think
34:28
at this point it's like it's like the whole disney princess thing that's like when are we getting a disabled disney princess right
34:36
yeah yeah i just think no no for sure like i wish i wish that
34:42
they would just bite the bullet go ahead and do it like yeah yeah what are you waiting for i don't
34:48
don't understand and do you know how many kids could benefit from that because
34:54
they probably have friends that are disabled they probably have a mum that's disabled i think that would make
35:00
someone's yeah like seeing that and just like literally could you imagine if i was a kid and i saw that i would cry
35:06
like and i'm gonna cry i was just gonna say like i swear
35:11
disabled barbie must be like the highest selling barbie of all time like every single person that i know i mean this is
35:18
kind of like a whole side thing that's like can sometimes be irritating it's cute but can sometimes be irritating
35:24
when people like send you photos and they're like oh my kid really want a disabled barbie because they know you and they love you and i was like that's
35:30
really cute but i swear like so many at least like 20 people sent me like a photo of
35:37
disabled barbie and was like we bought this and i was like okay that's cool but like
35:43
i swear they must have sold like bajillions of that like so even like when you come from a
35:49
business case i guess that's where i was going without just like rogue thoughts going everywhere the business case of
35:54
actually representing disability as well in disney films i think they'll see like once they actually do it really
36:00
well and have a main character like sales will probably just skyrocket like you said you know like they will biggest
36:07
minority and then all of the people that love and care for that minority like that's a lot of people that's a lot of
36:13
dollars yeah i think exactly recent stats i saw like 18
36:18
of like most first world countries are people with disability and then around 60 of those populations it's
36:25
usually around 18 to like 20 are people disability and then usually around 60 to 70 percent
36:31
have like a direct connection to disability which makes sense like it's like friends family members loved
36:37
ones like yeah colleagues even so yeah i think we make it happen like
36:44
the dollar reviews perspective it's like come on disney hurry up we're waiting
36:51
yeah well
36:58
[Laughter]
37:05
do you guys remember like disney channels yes yeah and they were always like
