471 Beauty and the Beast at 25 Marina 2 (2E)
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast remains the only animated feature
to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination during the five-nominee
era, and is one of Disney’s modern masterpieces. It’s got gorgeous
songs, wonderful animation, and great acting, but also has some
incredibly uncomfortable issues revolving around gender roles
and abuse. How well has this Disney classic aged, how much has
it influenced contemporary animation, and where does it rank
amongst Disney films? Heather Urbanski (m), Hanna Lee Rubin
Abramowitz, Daniel M Kimmel, Julia Rios, Rebecca Slitt
472 Lost in Translation Marina 3 (2E)
What things get lost as anime is translated and dubbed for other
audiences? While we all may have seen or heard of series being
dramatically edited in the ’70s and ’80s (Sailor Moon, for example),
to what extent are movies and series still edited to make
them more comprehensible to non-Japanese audiences? Akiko
Meigetsu (m), William Frank, Li Izumi, Jon Voisey
473 Beyond Dice and Hit Points Marina 4 (2E)
The basic game mechanics of D&D—dice, hit points, and experience
points—are part of most tabletop games and roleplaying
systems. What are some alternative, less well known ways
to design a game? What happens when you remove hit points,
dice, or even the character sheet? What current gaming systems
already work this way? Erik Amundsen (m), T Christopher Davis,
Peter Maranci, Lizzie Stark
