A Tale Not So Old as Time: Why the Music of the Disney Live-Action Remakes Pales in Comparison to the Originals
Get PDFSince the success of Tim Burton’s live-action reimagining of Alice in Wonderland in 2010, Disney has been churning out remake after remake of their classic animated films, the most recent being The Little Mermaid in 2023 and with many more planned to come in the next several years. Film critics and fans alike have criticized these films for failing to live up to the quality of the originals in terms of direction, visuals, and performances. While these critiques are well-founded, none of the aspects of the Disney live-action remakes were as disappointing as the music. It was the iconic musical numbers, from soaring character ballads to foreboding villain songs to high-energy dances, that made Walt Disney Animation Studios a staple in households across the world and beloved by all ages. However, the music in the live-action remakes ranges from mediocre copies of the iconic tunes to bizarre additions to the soundtrack that clash with the style of the original score. This presentation will be a side-by-side comparison of classic Disney films with their respective remakes to show that aspects like the vocal performances, orchestrations, and overall direction were executed far better in the originals.

Survey and Conservation Status of Flora at Indian Mound Reserve Cedarville, Ohio
Get PDFThe three prominent gorges in Southwest Ohio serve as refugia for native eastern US flora, including ferns and spring ephemeral wildflowers. Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve stands out as a locality where rare spring ephemerals like snow trillium (Trillium nivale) and unique trees like the eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) maintain stable populations due to stringent conservation efforts. This survey aims to assess if other local gorges lacking state or federal protection also harbor rare flora. Indian Mound Reserve, chosen for its proximity and status within the Greene County Parks system, was subjected to a year-long field survey across 137 acres, focusing on the area within Massie Creek Gorge. iNaturalist aided in verifying field observations and supplementing the survey with potentially missed species. Post-survey, flora was categorized into native trees, ferns, and wildflowers; non-native naturalized flora; and invasive species. Lichens, fungus, bryophytes, and graminoids were excluded due to their diversity and identification challenges in the field. The lists were cross-referenced with NatureServe, BONAP (The Biota of North America Program), and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ state-listed species to determine conservation statuses. Only two species (Trillium nivale; Thuja occidentalis) were classified as vulnerable (S3) by NatureServe, two (Thuja occidentalis; Monarda clinopodia) as rare by BONAP, and two (Trillium nivale; Thuja occidentalis) as rare by ODNR, with a single species (Thuja occidentalis) listed as potentially threatened. Despite the absence of state or federal protections, this study reveals that protected areas at a county level contribute significantly to the survival of rare flora. While populations may be smaller compared to Clifton Gorge, the findings underscore the substantial benefits of even localized conservation measures
