Most Important Characters - Maria, Mother Abbess, and Captain Von Trapp
It is the story of Maria and Captain Von Trapp, but ultimately the Mother Abbess is the one who keeps these two headed towards each other. And the nuns all end up saving the family in the end!
Least Important Character - Rolf
When we looked at characters the story could have done without, it was hard to choose one! The Sound of Music is so well written there arenât any characters that arenât important for one way or another. But. When we looked at the role of Rolf, if his relationship with Lisel just didnât exist, the movie would lose charm (No â16 Going on 17??â) but we feel like all the characters would still end up where they did in the end.
What if Maria had become a nun after she runs away from the Von Trapp family and the Captainâs affections? Would Maria have a better life or Captain Von Trapp?
Maria as a nun. It just doesnât fit her character! But we think Captain Von Trapp at least would see and understand his children, thanks to Mariaâs example. So he would have them to focus on moving forward without her. But Maria would have just been sad and lonely đ
What if Captain Von Trapp had been taken to join the military before they were able to escape at the music festival?
This would have taken this movie from a wholesome musical to a dark military film. All of a sudden the family would have been ripped apart and the Captain would have sacrificed himself for them leaving Maria to raise the children alone during World War II. OuchâŠđą
Most Underrated Scene - the Break-Up Scene
If you want to watch a calm, collected, and clearly communicated break-up, the scene between the Captain and the Baroness is very well done. Both communicate what they need and where they are at. Then when it doesnât match up, they respectfully say goodbye. Bravo, not easy to do!
Overall, this movie lives up to its iconic status.
The story and writing are all essential while still warm-hearted and charming. No explosions or gags just to have them. Everything is purposeful and done with class and taste. Sorry internet, we disagree big time đ

From animated to live-action, Disney Plus offers many different Star Wars adventures for Star Wars fans of all ages and interests. Hereâs what Star Wars show you should check out next to celebrate May the 4th!
Best Animated Series for Corban - The Clone Wars
âItâs like reading the Harry Potter books. Itâs a big commitment!â But once you have gone through it once and you are familiar with the storylines and characters it introduces, you can dip back into your favorite parts and relive the best storylines! And it sets up Ahsoka, The Bad Batch, and The Mandalorian. So if you feel like something doesnât make sense, The Clone Wars is the encyclopedia to refer back tođ
Best Animated Series for Camari - Star Wars Rebels
If you love the original trilogy, then this series will feel that nostalgia. Itâs the beginning of the Rebellion so several original trilogy characters pop up including Princess Leia and Old Ben Kenobi. Also, you get a glimpse at what happened to some of the Jedi who survived Order 66.
But Donât Sleep On The Bad Batch!
The cast of characters in this show is so fun and compelling! Watching this rag-tag group of clones bounce off each other while unraveling just what the Emperor is up to right after Revenge of the Sith. Season three just wrapped up, so now is the time to binge the entire series.
Must Watch Live-Action Star Wars Series for Corban - Andor
If you liked Rogue One, then Andor is the Star Wars show you need to check out this weekend! It has the same dark, gritty feel of the movie with a thriller vibe. Who was Cassian Andor before Rogue One? His origin story is all right here. And season 2 is coming out sometime this year! đ€đŒ
Must Watch Live-Action Star Wars Series for Camari - Obi-Wan Kenobi
For anyone who loves the original trilogy, this takes A New Hope and gives it extra fun depth. If you want to see Darth Vader at his most powerful (and brutal), see Leiaâs family dynamic, and experience how beautiful her home planet of Alderaan is, this mini-series is for you.
Enjoy this episode? We have good news! If you want more episodes, become a paid subscriber for access to extended and additional Neverland Files episodes! We set up Star Wars characters on blind dates this week and there are some surprising relationships pairings that coooouuuuuuld have potential.

Visiting Arendell is possible in three Disney Parks currently. Is it something you would want to be in Disneyland?

When it comes to being a 90s kid and reliving the magic of a Disney childhood, we got that covered in spades. But what does it mean to be nostalgic? And how powerful is it really? We get a bit sciency and then a bit reflective as we test the power of our own mantra: how magical can reliving childhood actually be?

Here are some of our picks for Disney sights, sounds, and moments that bring out the nostalgia in us the most!

Critics Reviewâs to Start Us Off
Most and Least Important Characters
Asha
Sabino
Star
Least Important Characters
Valentino
Awards
Cutest Wittle Guy Award - Star
Look at his little face! đ„șGive us all the plushies and toys!
Ruined Disney Musicals Award - Lin Manuel Miranda
This man has set the standard too high for modern Disney musicals. Everything he does is AMAZING. So now, anyone else who does a Disney musical has a rough uphill battle ahead.
George from Aristocats Award - Sabino
We love George and he was the inspiration for Sabino. Does Sabino look one hundred years old? No, but I still see the glimmers of my favorite Disney old man.
I Think Thatâs the Real Villain Song Award - âAt All Costsâ
âThis is the Thanks I Get?!â is pretty good. But one of the most incredible songs in the movie is when the villain and the hero share a duet. And it is gorgeous! No other song describes better Magnifico and Ashaâs motivations. At the same time. Like, wow.

Welcome Potterheads to our first Disney Harry Potter mash-up! From Disney Princesses to Villains, we work through a list of characters from Buzzfeed to see if our Hogwarts House sorting matches those of the internet. Vote below as you listen along! In which Hogwarts House do you think these Disney characters belong?
Ariel is a Slytherin
Look, not all Slytherins are bad despite Ron teaching that to Harry in book one. Ariel is ambitious and driven. She knows what she wants, even if it is impossible. And figures out a way to get legs and meet Eric. Mermaids and humans? Not a thingâŠuntil Ariel makes it happen!
Hades is a Slytherin
Being one of the Big Three on Olympus is just not quite enough for Hades. He may not always have the best help but his ambition and never-say-die (ha) drive is very Slytherin-esq.
Maleficent is a Gryffindor
Maleficent believes she has been wronged. And to right that wrong she is going to do what she feels is right. AKA curse the kingdomâs baby princessâŠ? Hey, we arenât saying we agree. But she is doing what she believes is right. So itâs Gryffindor for us.
Flynn Rider is a Ravenclaw/Slytherin
For us, it depends on where we are in Flynnâs story. At the end, one of us sees Flynn as a knowledgeable and witty character who is a realist looking at the facts. The other one sees him throughout the movies as resourceful and driven to get the dream he wants the most. You decide.
Mulan is a Hufflepuff
Everything she does is for others. She puts her dadâs safety ahead of her own and leads with her heart wherever she goes. She may not be what we all think a Hufflepuff is (patient and nice) but her heart is full of kindness for others, through and through.
Hans is a Slytherin
I mean, he pretends to love Anna and then tries to kill her to get his own kingdom so he can be King. Ambition and drive? Check and check.
Belle is a Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff
Belle does sacrifice herself for her dad, just like Mulan. And gives Beast a fair chance, despite his beastliness. But she is also fiercely intelligent and loves to learn. You tell usâŠ
Governor Ratcliffe is a Slytherin
âMine, Mine, Mineâ is the most Slytherin-ish villain song in all of Disney. Enough said.
Tiana is a Slytherin
This girl knows what she wants and is willing to work two jobs and save every penny to get it. Driven and ambitious are her middle name. âAlmost Thereâ is the Disney Princess song for Slytherins!
We will send out the second half of polls next month, so keep your Sorting Hats ready to vote!
