Asten Does Nostalgia

Where nostalgia meets chaos, and Daisy won’t shut up about it

Disney+ Deep Dive: The Forgotten & the Bizarre

Disney+ is a treasure chest that someone tipped upside down — iconic classics right next to absolute chaos.

When Disney+ first launched, I thought I was signing up for princesses, Pixar, and Marvel marathons. And yes, those are all there. But what I didn’t expect was the sheer chaos vault of random stuff Disney decided to upload. It’s like they tipped over a storage box from the 60s and said, “Yeah, chuck it all in.”

Disney Channel Fever Dreams

  • The Thirteenth Year — the DCOM where a boy starts turning into a merman at puberty. Sure, why not.
  • Pixel Perfect — hologram popstar saves the band (and raises a few existential questions).
  • Cadet Kelly — Hilary Duff makes boot camp fashion a thing.

Obscure Live-Action Oddities

  • The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes — Kurt Russell becomes a human computer (1969 said “technology!”).
  • The Cat from Outer Space — yes, it’s real: an alien cat named Jake crash-lands on Earth and needs help to phone home.

Halloween in Someone’s Garage

  • Mr. Boogedy. That’s it. That’s the category. Half sitcom, half horror, all nightmare fuel.

Animals With Careers

  • 70s/80s specials where dogs play sports, donkeys save towns, and raccoons have main-character energy. Don’t ask questions; just salute.

National Geographic Goes Rogue

  • One minute it’s Finding Nemo, the next it’s Sharks vs Dolphins: Blood Battle. Family night!

🌟 Daisy’s Corner 🌟

Daisy: “Oh babes, Disney+ isn’t a streaming service — it’s a garage sale. You go in for Cinderella, come out watching a raccoon with a badge. Mr. Boogedy? More like Mr. ‘Who Greenlit This?’ Hand me a Capri Sun, we’re bingeing The Cat from Outer Space.”

Conclusion: Disney+ is a nostalgic lucky dip — some of it iconic, some of it unhinged, and all of it endlessly scroll-worthy.
