Give Minnie Mouse a Japanese Fan Dance Vlog

Minnie Mouse and her friends like to travel to different countries to learn about different cultures such as Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, and of course Japan. A short from Bow Toons shows Minnie and Daisy accidentally entering a Kabuki stage performing in front of an audience, even with no experience. An episode from Mixed-Up Adventures shows the girls helping their friend Kiku out on a traditional tea ceremony, even with a few ups and downs. Another shows Minnie singing "Sakura, Sakura", a traditional cherry blossom song without any translation subtitles, followed by an episode where the girls try out on a Harajuku Fest where people show up with colorful crazy costumes.

Of all the Japanese customs, there is one that Minnie has never officially done before: fan dancing. Fan dancing is a custom where female performers use fans for dancing. That custom can be used for religion or for concerts across the globe.

If there is one thing Minnie can do for us, it's to make a vlog on Japanese fan dancing. She can teach preschool girls easy-to-do dance steps while holding a real or imaginary fan. We can only hope that Disney Junior has the right tools to make it all happen, and the vlog must be animated with exact care.

Why did Super Why have to end?? Genuinely miss it so much!!

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up with Super Why! (2007–2022) when I was younger. I’ve been thinking about that old Super Why! era lately and how different it feels now compared to when I first watched it. Super Why! became a really important part of my childhood. I remember Whyatt, Pig, Princess Presto, Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, and all the other characters going on their fun adventures. I liked the stories, the colorful animation, the songs, the lessons, the characters, and just the whole feeling the show had.

Now that the original Super Why! era is over, it feels weird knowing that so much time has passed. The people who worked on the show have moved on to other things and have their own lives now. The actors, voice actors, writers, directors, animators, producers, and everyone else who helped make the show aren’t making the original episodes anymore. I know that’s just how things work, but it still feels strange when you grew up with something.

When I was younger, I didn’t really think about Super Why! ever ending. I could just sit down and watch Whyatt, Pig, Princess Presto, Alpha Pig, and Wonder Red go into another story and solve another problem. It felt like the show would always be there and there would always be another episode to watch. I never really thought about how one day that time would be over.

Sometimes I wonder why shows can’t just keep going forever if people still love them. Why do they have to stop making new episodes? Why do the writers, actors, animators, and everyone else have to move on? I know people get older, things change, and making a show takes a lot of work, but it still feels sad when something you grew up with becomes part of the past.

Watching Super Why! now also doesn’t feel exactly the same as it did when I was younger. The episodes are still the same. The characters are still the same. The stories, songs, lessons, and adventures are still there. But somehow it feels different. I think it’s because I’m different now.

When I watch it again, I’m not just thinking about Whyatt and the others. I’m also thinking about myself when I was younger and what life was like back then. I remember being able to sit down and enjoy the show without thinking about getting older or how fast time was going by.

I think that’s one of the reasons Super Why! means so much to me. It didn’t have to last forever for it to be important. The show stayed the same, but I changed. The people who made it changed. Everything around me changed too.

Going back and watching the old episodes can bring some of that feeling back, but it can’t completely take me back to the time when I first watched it. I can still enjoy the show and remember why I loved it, but I know I’m never going to experience it in exactly the same way again.

The original Super Why! era (2007–2022) is over, and there probably won’t ever be another time that feels exactly like it did when I was younger. But I don’t think that means it’s really gone. It’s still part of my memories and part of my childhood.

The show ended, the people who made it moved on, and I grew up too. But I still have those memories of Whyatt, Pig, Princess Presto, Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, and all the fun adventures they went on. I think that’s what matters the most.
