Who Is Allison Moore?: A Disney's Wish Mystery

OK, this is a little off the rails and random but this has been driving me crazy since I looked into it last night.

So, Disney's 100th Anniversary movie Wish is coming out soon and people have had a lot of hot takes about it so I wanted to do some digging. As part of that, I looked at the writers and two people have a "Screenplay by" credit: Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore.

Jennifer Lee, of course, wrote Frozen--their biggest princess hit in the modern era so that makes total sense to me. If you're coming out with a new princess movie for the big centennial of course you'd tap her. But I'd never heard of Allison, and when you look at her name on Wikipedia:

No blue link. So I headed to IMDB to check out her credits, figuring maybe she was some hot new talent recently promoted from within who did storyboards on some recent projects like Moana or something. But when I went to her IMDB page, this is what I found (after a brief mix-up with a Dexter's Lab actress):

Her Producer credits come up first and...huh. That's a lot of adult live action TV projects. Well, maybe her Writing credits are where this starts to make sense:

What? That can't be right, can it? The only vaguely Disney-esque thing on that credit list is Beauty and the Beast and, to be clear, that is a CW reboot of a 1987 procedural with the logline, "A beautiful detective falls in love with an ex-soldier who goes into hiding from the secret government organization that turned him into a mechanically charged beast." And she wrote two episodes on it.

And look at Disney's official page about Wish!

Everyone else on this page has credits that make sense--Frozen, Frozen 2, Raya, Encanto. And the two credits they list for Allison?

Night Sky and Manhunt.

Night Sky, an Amazon Prime show that she wrote one episode for and was cancelled after one season. And Manhunt--and show about hunting the UNABOMBER--that ran for two seasons and that she wrote two episodes for. Those are her two credits that they put up there next to Frozen and Encanto.

I have been scouring the internet trying to figure out who this woman is and how she got this job and I have come up *empty*. This is the big 100th anniversary movie! Why would they have one of the two screenplay writers be someone who seemingly has never done something like this before??? Like, I understand that not having done something before doesn't mean you can't do a good job, but it usually means you don't get the keys to the biggest most anticipated projects in the company's history!

They presumably could have gotten anyone they wanted for this and they picked this person and I have zero clue why and it's driving me crazy. If anyone has ANY information that could illuminate this at ALL--an interview, a social media post, gossip from your cousin who's a gofer at Disney--please let me know because I feel like I'm going full Pepe Silvia over this.

12/26 Edit: A SMALL UPDATE IS HERE!

#disney's wish #wish 2023 #disney #personal #this is separate from my opinions on the movie itself #which I def do have oh boy #but I also just want to know how this happened #how did she get this job????? #she doesn't write for kids or for animation or really for fantasy very much #so why did they hire her??? #this doesn't seem like her wheelhouse at all!

tell me about drawtectives. what is this little show.

oooooh my god oh my god. they are my guys. so.

drawtectives itself is a youtube series created by julia lepetit on Drawfee. it's an rpg mystery show– s1 is a murder mystery, s2 is just a mystery– that doubles as an art challenges show. she draws all of the backgrounds and npcs and most of the assets (the 'cutscenes', you could call them) and then the team gets together, knowing absolutely nothing besides what julia's asked them to prepare, and does some funky improv to create a very funky storyline.

there are 3 players and one dm; the pcs are rosé, york, and grendan/grenda/grandma/gma, and the Big NPCs are Jancy True (s1/s2) and Eugene Finch (s2) and they're, in their own words, a found family, so. beloved. their backup plan if all their jobs fail is to move out east and open a bookstore. jancy and eugene have fully accepted their titles as mom/ancestral ghost and son despite meeting each other likely once before the drawtectives dragged them together. overall though if i had to summarize, it's a bunch of friends getting together, making a bunch of puns, appreciating julia's art, and laughing together. the vibes are 10/10 so loving. in writing the transcripts i've written (Karina laughs) (Nathan laughs) (All laugh) So Many Times it's just fun.

so there's three pcs. first one we meet is gyorik 'york' rogdul, who's a half-orc come to the city to learn about his mother's culture. he is the character we have by far the most lore for– if I compiled all the lore I had about the Northern Tribes and Wild Trains, I think the document would be multiple pages. he's also illiterate, which was an interesting decision for the english major of the group to make (in other words, York Will Not Be Illiterate For Season Three bc Y'all Cannot Read) and morally gray if you think about it too hard (he killed his own brother) but yknow he's hot so it's okay. they're all hot any crimes committed are okay. he's also aroace (confirmed by the player, which is!! vibes!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME @axolotllee!)

rosé is the Human Rogue and the youngest of the party; her main trait in s1 was Millennial and she Dealt with that. she, in contrast with York, has so little lore we are scraping the barrel. she was a thief, then left everything about that life behind and changed her name to rosé when she went to work for jancy. she lied on her resumé. she knows how to sew; she's sewn Pockets of Holding on most of her clothing. she bonded with a stray cat that lived outside her last apartment. she's three credits short of graduating college. she's, in addition to being a drawtective, jancy's intern, and cried when jancy got her a cupcake. she won't tell her best friends when her birthday is or where she goes to school or what her last name is. that's all we know about her and i love her and she could probably kill someone as she has multiple knives on her person and does not use them. she's bright and funny and can be pretty dark but really does find the humor in it which is. wonderful.

so grendan highforge starts out as The Snobby Rich Boy which. already love the trope something Always Happens To Them if they're a pc. then through s1 they make an offhand comment about a character (faucon, whose name is pronounced 'falco') and how if her name was pronounced that way it'd be grenda. faucon asks how they feel about it. they are caught very off-guard by that and then ask to be called it for the next hour or so. then the next witness calls him gma, and then grandma, and then. yeah she realizes she's genderfluid. and he uses any pronouns and has a full beard and also wears a romper and loves dogs and the player is the Most Experienced TTRPG-er so through maybe using resources a bittt grandma is the most observant character of all of them. he's also a dog walker and a lightweight and does canonically have druidic magic though that was Not Touched On Much and showed up to their first day on the job slightly stoned (they did stop doing that though.) she carries around a box to make the height difference (york is 7'. grendan is 4'. rosé is 6'. you can see the formatting issue) slightly less difficult. she doesn't know how rhinos reproduce but has had a fascination with them since a police chief said one might've committed a crime. i think they could kill someone by talking too much but they don't actually have the strength or dex to do Jack Shit.

and jancy true is the head pi (a great many of the characters are puns and i love it so much) and is there to make sure things get done and clues don't get missed. she has a cochlear implant and uses a cane and solved s1 just by Reading The Paper and hearsay. she solved about half of s2 before Someone Stopped Her. she says hello children to the drawtectives and it is such a fond thing. eugene is. a guy who i love. julia started the show thinking he would be some mysterious character to join them and then made the wonderful improv decision– avoiding having to do npc-npc conversation– of saying 'yeah eugene is spinning a camera on its stand' and rosé just says so gleefully. 'guys. i think he's stupid.' and he became their son. his character is a lot of The Plot of s2 so i don't want to get into it too much but. jancy and eugene my beloved.

they're just. such a family. to quote nathan (grenda's Player) from the s2 talkback: "That's one of my favorite things about this show, is we came in with these vague ideas for characters, and just playing them with each other, they became friends and became better people as a result of knowing each other and solving mysteries. ... Like, we all kind of independently made our characters people that either were distant from their families or, you know, just had tenuous connections to other stuff, and so these are, like, the realest connections they have in their lives."

and then karina (rosé) about 10 seconds later: "Yeah, we love a found family where they bond over just being the worst."

god. them. they're chaotic and loud and feel very real to me. they have excitement and are pretty bad at social cues but they love each other and want to die together because they would hate too much to be separated. i could articulate this better but it's one in the morning and they mean a great deal to me.

#ren <3 #GOD THEY'RE MY GUYS #'my guys' really is the shittiest group of found family to exist. god. the bad kids the virals the crows and now the drawtectives. wow. #drawtectives #fuck it we're maintagging this #i'm realizing i probably should've written more about the premise of the show– s1 is a murder mystery; the murder of sorin justice. #his wife lotta justice hires jancy to solve the crime and jancy wanted to train proteges so here they are!! #s2 is. you wake up on a train with no memories. why are you here where is jancy DID YOU JUST SEE A MAN GET MURDERED WHAT'S HAPPENING #it's genuinely a really funny show and has Very Good Vibes and. i love it. the prompts are horror if you think about it which. i also enjoy #but the cast were all members of collegehumor up until jan 2020 so. they know comedy. #plus they're all very close so they know each others' boundaries #and i'm talking i guess #questionnn! #also. lmao it really does seem like grandma is my favorite #tbf she is. but rosé's paragraph should be longer i love her so much it's just. hard to describe. #thank you thank you for letting me talk about them i love them <3 <3

Yet another reason why AM is the best written route! Billy never angsts about Supreme Leader in that route, the only times they say something positive about her is to comfort Dimitri, which is completely logical given they're close to him but barely know her in this route.

Sunday's salty answer is : Billy doesn't need to angst about Supreme Leader, Dimitri does it already and it's nigh unbearable

I've already mentionned it, but to me, AM's message of "drop vengeance for acceptance" falls completely flat because... Dimitri doesn't accept everything that makes Supreme Leader, well, Supreme Leader, WC is obliterated from everyone's memory and all is well that ends well.

Dimitri won't even ask what Thales is to her, or why she was working with him for her "ideals", or why Duscur happened (both the Tragedy and the following massacre), or where is Rhea/why was she caught, or why Supreme Leader thinks Flayn's race is what makes her unable to "rule over the people", etc etc.

That's why I prefer TS's Roland, both in his route and the golden one, he reluctantly accepts to put his revenge aside and not kill Gustadolph on spot, he still hates him but also wants to stop the bloodshed for the sake of Glenrbook/Norzelia.

Sure, Dimitri's AM arc is to learn to live for himself, so to stop pushing his feelings aside for the sake of his people and embrace them : he cannot still hold hatred against her but move on for the Kingdom, so the devs had him... not feel hatred at her at all? Drop all of his grievances and only end up fighting her because he has to stop her war and their views are not compatible at all?

Dimitri? Bleeding Heart Dimitri?

What would he feel if he saw the rooms where people were waiting in before being transformed in War Assets ? Or would he feel the same feeling of sadness because "their ideals" forces him to stop her, if Supreme Leader told him Flayn, because of her race, has no regards for human life? Or if she told him Dedue's sister and entire family were "necessary sacrifices" because her ideals needed Duscur to happen?

We have the entire sobfest "I have to kill her because our ideals are not compatible and we will not see eye to eye to end this war :'(" and no "I have to kill her to end this war and to bring justice for all those suffered and are still suffering due to her selfish war".

In a way we have boar!mitri being BaD because he wants not just to kill, but to murder her, and King!mitri being GoOd because now he doesn't want to kill her, but has to because their ideals are clashing and he has to end her war :'(

Fun for thought -

Imagining Supreme Leader somehow survives AM and Dimitri doesn't want to kill her, what happens?

Naesala only escapes death because Tibarn ultimately knows about the Blood Pact, bcs herons and bcs Naesala makes amends and decides to atone.

Assuming Rhea is found in the state she's in at the end of SS/VW, would the CoS want her execution?

If the truth about Duscur and Agarthans is revealed (but unlike Naesala, Supreme Leader willingly helped the people who tortured her and in turn called the following people who were tortured "necessary sacrifices"), on top of the current War and Cornelia, given how she helped and abided by her Agarthan associates, and started the war, and sacrificed her own people to create War Assets... Would Faerghus/whoever's in charge of Leicester (Erwin) and Adrestians themselves want her alive?

What would she become? Exiled from Fodlan? Executed? Put in permanent House Arrest in a manor?

#anon #replies #this game has 5 routes non connected to each other because WC is totally one lol #AM works in a nutshell #but not as the following story of WC #at least Nopes had her tell him it was Thales who did everything #so it can be explained why she's out of his radar a little bit #but in Houses? he doesn't want to know what happened to Duscur? how can you bring justice to the people of duscur and clean their name #if you don't care about who framed them to begin with? who knew they weren't responsible and who was hired to actually kill Lambert? #FE16 #well crap now it's salty monday lol

i dont think anyone should have to put themselves through it but it is interesting to me how some other “disabled” people just decide they cannot work before even actually trying because its uncomfortable or makes them anxious and its an active choice they are actually able to make which they see zero privilege in when talking to those of us who will always have to work no matter what… and then theyll talk to you like “oh you dont understand i just cant” while you literally experience the exact same shit or more 😭

#best example is shitty cali roommate who had three separate jobs including one i helped them get hired at and then they just decided they #couldnt handle it so it was fine to let everything fall on me and their wife with a heart condition while they sat on their ass playing #jewelry on etsy. and then theyd have the gall to be like well im mentally ill and disabled as if we werent too #also it was so obvious thats why they upcharged my rent when my only other option was homelessness they saw a situation they could take #advantage of parasitic ass person. the wife was not great either but after seeing how their wife treated her i really hope they divorce(d) #also jobless roommate was constantly making comments on what i did with my money too like they literally were mad at me for buying a $5 #t shirt from walmart once #and then theyd act surprised they had no irl friends after shit talking every single person they invited to their wedding party #this isnt about them tho this is about random posts i see on here and think. you can actually get yourself out of this one man. just try

[biblionerd07]

Honestly all the characters and the narrative itself are too kind to Bradford. Betty’s like “you’ve worked hard for a long time Mr. Meade you deserve a rest” well actually Betty he’s going to hell for how he treated his wife and children and I for one hope those fires are HOT

#ugly Betty #Bradford Meade #enjoy being tortured you fucking asshole! #he literally told Alexis it would be better for her to be DEAD than to come out as a trans woman #he pitted his children against each other so they couldn’t tell if they cared about each other or hated each other #he made Daniel feel unloved and unlovable for lichrally his entire life #he psychologically TORMENTED Claire by letting his mistress just flaunt the affair everywhere #he fucking bought the same present for his wife and his mistress!!!! #part of why Claire was a neglectful mother was bc she was in so much pain from how he treated her that she just stayed drunk all the time #he also killed a guy??? #and Claire said she didn’t know what he was capable of and def thought he was capable of murder #he’s not a good man!!!! #literally the only good thing he did for his kids was hiring Betty for Daniel #even when he was trying to be better with Alexis he was LYING to her

That one character in The Glory, Lee Sa-Ra (one of the bullies) claims to be an artist yet makes one of the most blandest soulless art I've ever seen.

#kdrama #the glory #lee sa ra #she screams only became an artist bc her family is rich rather than actual hard work #so much that she can make money out of soulless art #anyways she aint an artist to me! we dont claim her #tr #no fr why did the one artist in the show have to be one of the bullies of all ppl 😭 just my only small gripe with the show #also fyi I've been watching the second part and yeah the glory still slaps in the best way possible #Kim Hieora #me speaks #[EDIT] apparently she sometimes hires people to do her art for her no wonder 😭

[pickapea]

as someone who politically is more inclined to the socialist side of things, i know about the whole "lazy people don't exist, humans are not lazy" argument, and i would love for that to be the case, but the more people i train at work the harder it becomes to actually believe im sorry

#like there are some individuals out there. in society. and sometimes they get hired by my workplace #and then i have to train them. and so im the first to see them at work #and then after training i continue to see them at work #it's a minority #but some of them are genuinely lazy #like why are you not working. why are you sitting on your ass on the clock being all unhelpful when the rest of us are fighting demons #i trained this girl this week and first of all she was incompetent. second of all she did the bare minimum and then sat down #third of all she showed absolutely no interest in learning the work. i tried to teach her and she was just not having it #certainly when you are getting trained at your new job you'd want to learn it? so why did she not follow me around to learn #curious #for the point of the socialist utopia i would love if socialist theory was right about lazy people. but it's just not in line with reality #unfortunately #i canbot fathom being lazy however like does it not bore you. why don't you have any incentive to help people #frustrating #she was genuinely the worst trainee ive ever had the great pleasure of training #maybe she'll learn tho who knows. but her attitude was not good so i don't have high hopes #pickapost

[zaggyzoo]

today after homework help i also did braids but im so anxious she didn't like them lol

#for the kid's sister #bc she doesn't know anyone who can braid #she wanted two half french braids that connect and half hair down #but it was my first time in a while doing braids on someone else and i did the kind that folds over not under and kept them soft #bc i didn't want to hurt her and also that's how i like them too #so. why am i so nervous about itttt fjfjjfjf it's not like i want to be hired??? lmaoo i just hope she likes them

[neofelis----nebulosa]

against my better i ended up seeing some of the clips people are posting from kfp 4 and i actually really like it

#id have to actually watch the movie to form a proper opinion #but based on what ive seen they made a lot of choices i dont love but i love what they did with the direction they took #and everything they did with the effects on the chameleon are just so cool #i feel like its worth watching based on that alone #and ik a lot of people are not happy about zhen but she actually looks like a pretty interesting character #i wish they had hired someone other than awkwafina to play her but you win some you lose some #all and all it looks like it works well as an epilogue to the original triology #like the trilogy is pos journey with body mind and spirit #and the 4th is what happens after that arc is complete #but i hope they stop the main series after this one #but i would love a furious 5 spinoff movie #or just more short films set in this universe #like secrets of the scroll and secrets of the furious 5 #wow the people who make these movies really like the word secret #but yeah i can see why a lot of people feel let down by the movie but from what ive seen it has a lot of merit in its own right #but as i said havent actually watched it yet #so whos to say #ill probably wait until i can rent it or it goes to streaming bc i dont know anyone who would watch it with me who would actually want to #like i have people who would be willing to but i dont think they would actively want to and i dont want my experience watching it to have.. #...to be me forcing someone else to watch it with me #and i dont want to go alone bc that would be embarassing #(unless another secret option presents itself before its available to rent or stream #which dreamworks if youre reading this that was totally a joke i would never watch your movies in a way you would not profit from)

[theflyingfeeling]

aaaarrghghgh 😭

#overthinking hurts my head how am i supposed to sleep tonight #why am i so stupid so stupid so stupid #when BC said PANIC PANIC PANIC i felt that lol #yes this is about the job situation again (see my post from yesterday) #i'm fairly hopeful that'll resolve itself when i call them and ask for another opportunity tomorrow morning #(my mom helped me come up with a convincing enough story about why i cancelled the interview lol) #but i'm so scared of my employement agency contact person hearing about this #in the best case scenario i could handle it by telling her i had to cancel due to personal reasons... #...but was lucky enough to get a new interview #and i feel i should contact her first before she notices they have opened that position for applications again #(she knows i applied for it so IF she notices this she might wonder WHY they have re-opened it #because if there's been qualified applicants (=me) they wouldn't have to do that) #in any case i'm so so scared she'll call the place and ask them if i really did apply and if i really do have an upcoming interview #if i do get another opportunity it's not gonna be a problem i hope (unless they tell her why i said i cancelled it #because in that case i'd probably have to actually tell the employment agency person the REAL reason why i cancelled) #in addition i'm scared of what it might look like to the people i'm hoping will hire me if someone from the employment agency calls them #to make sure their customer hasn't lied about applying and agreeing on an interview?! #that's gonna make me look sooooooo good lmao #to conclude. i'm screwed and a fucking idiot byeeee #(this is complicated i know sorry lol)

#putting this in the tags bc I need to get this out but also feel kinda guilty about it so I don’t wanna scream it in a post #but I feel soo irrationally pissed at my friend #bc she’s one of my best friends and I love her but I haven’t heard from her all summer except for the like four times she answered my #messages only to immediately ask me something in return #it took her two weeks to reply to a meme I send her only to immediately follow up with ‘het remember how you said your parents wanted to #hire my band’ #‘ahaha summer is so busy I’ve read all my books anyway you told me I could borrow this one book?’ #last was ‘heyy sorry for not replying haha anyway im bored next week wanna go on a trip’ #to which I replied ‘yeah I would love to but I have my internship starting next week remember’ #and its like I don’t mind that she doesn’t answer my texts like god knows I hate texting #but its really starting to feel like our relationship is fully based on her needing me for something #which I have felt before but I kinda dismissed it as me thinking it was always me who had to take initiative which was disproved when she #asked me to meet up a few times but thinking back it was always like ‘hey let’s meet up for coffee’ and then when I arrive having literally #left the library where I’d been studying for only ten minutes bc otherwise i wouldn’t see her. #she’s like ‘oh I don’t want coffee anymore but I need to go to the supermarket wanna join me?’ #which I always did bc I wanna spend time together and it’s cheaper for me than getting overpriced coffee but!!!! #anyway I’m feeling this now bc while she hadn’t answered my ‘sorry can’t go on a trip’ text I did just see that she’s currently in portugal #with another friend #which is like??? so she just found someone else to relieve her of her boredom and so she didn’t need me anymore so why answer me right?? #anyway it’s probably not that bad and I will talk to her about it when I see her again which will probably be in a month I guess but for now #I don’t wanna ruin her trip

Some of my favorite quotes from my favorite play, The Busy World is Hushed

"I'm somebody's only son. So, it's my job to watch him when he gets sick, it's my job to bury him. It's part of the deal, isn't it?"

"I'm not terribly holy when I'm faced with the prospect of losing something I love."

"It's relatively easy for Christianity to explain genocides and wars, you blame them on the devil or a world gone wrong. But, watching my father die is the most natural, inevitable thing. It's how the world is supposed to work, and it's unspeakably cruel."

"You always say it's God when it's really just you."

"Here's where I see God: He's your aching heart in the dead of winter. He's reaching out to you right now, with all the power to ease your pain and lift your burden. Will you take His hand?"

"Because the real question is not what your philosophy is but how it's working for you. If it's sustaining you."

"Nothing ever comes to you entirely clean, and if you walk away from everything once it gets a little tarnished, then you will always be walking away."

"But what's the use of loving people so strongly and passionately when, in the end, it isn't nearly enough to save them?"

#Also Hamish Linklater is in it and it's so good #They did an audio recording of it and I've listened to it so many times #It's vv gay. Three main characters #A priest. Her son. And the guy she hired to help write her book thingy #The two guys are 💅 #And she's just like. Not a big deal about it #She WANTS the guy to date her son bc she hopes it'll calm him down bc he's all over the place lol #But it's also very sad #Which is why I like it I guess #Anyway #The Busy World is Hushed #I really wanna get a physical copy of it #Literally got me through last year lol
