fun fact! the producer of shrek based Lord Farquaad on his evil former boss, the CEO of disney, Michael Eisner. They even look the fucking same
in real life Eisner is pretty tall. on the other hand, the shrek producer, Jeffrey Katzenberg, is quite short . Eisner, being an asshole, once infamously said of Katenzberg, “I think I hate that little midget.”
so 5′0″ Katzenberg went and turned his asshole boss into a little person named Lord Fuckwad
yeah
more fun facts: disney/pixar did the same shit right back several years later
mr. incredible’s boss is a caricature of jeffrey katzenberg
someone has probably already added this but I can’t have this post going without the Very obvious addition of UP’s villain Charles Muntz- the send up of Disney’s old boss and legendary asshole, Charles Mintz
entire animation teams taking overt digs at horrible bosses is tea
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
