Anonymous: <p>I think it's quite telling that the most interesting aspects of Legacy are the things that fall <i>outside</i> the clich&eacute; "reconnecting with your blood family" narrative. </p>

Oh, absolutely!

(I think that’s common to most Disney movies. The character arc / relationship development is very seldom the most interesting part of the movie.)

(I mean I’m not sure it was THE most interesting part of the 82 movie either, but that one definitely tore apart every expected trope of how a romance subplot is supposed to go & I love it for that)
