MTS Movie Night
Aloha, MTSers! Grab your surfboards, unfurl your sails, make a bucket of popcorn, and join us for our first ever MTS Movie Night!
This weekend we're hosting a live movie watching party in our Discord text chat server. We're hoping this will be a great chance for everyone to meet new people, get to know our chat system (if it's your first time), and also watch some really fun movies. After much discussion among the staff, we've decided on a Disney Pacific Islands double feature.
Lilo & Stitch
Before there was Moana, Disney made another Pacific Islands movie! Lilo & Stitch is a fun, quirky romp through Hawai'i which includes such elements as a little girl who's convinced that a sandwich-loving fish named Pudge controls the weather, a blue alien who looks like a demon koala and is determined to destroy everything in his path, a different alien who's convinced that the entire earth is a nature preserve because mosquitoes are an endangered species, and a giant alien space shark who's sent in to clean up the mess caused by the previous two aliens. Beneath all the sillies, it's a story with a lot of heart, about the struggles of growing up "different" and the importance of family, whether it's family you're born with or family you find along the way.
Moana
Need I say more? Just in case you've been evading the illuminati by hiding in a shack in Siberia for the past year or so, Moana is the second Disney Pacific Island movie! It's a classic adventure tale about a quest involving that strange, glowing amulet that your ancestor has had hanging around their neck for the past few decades and maybe someone should do something about that since coincidentally our island also appears to be dying? Hilarious chicken-based humour, a giant bedazzled crab who sings a creepy song while menacing our protagonists, inspiring ghosts, vaguely overprotective parents, this one's got it all for classic Disney lovers!

The chatting will take place in our Discord server, which you can join
here. On the day of the watch party we will create a "Movie Night" channel dedicated to this event, so make sure to choose it from the Text Channel options.
First thing's first:
Everyone needs to find their own copy of the movies. Due to legal reasons, we cannot offer to stream the movies. We can confirm that both movies are available on Netflix in Canada and the United States, if that helps anyone.
We'll be getting everyone synced up by doing a text countdown in chat. For this reason,
please show up at least a few minutes early, to ensure we all start at the same time.
If you arrive after we've started, you'll have to figure out the sync for yourself.
It's true! If you haven't had a chance yet and are interested in joining the elite ranks of MTS moderators, wander over to that thread and see if you're qualified. For everyone who has already applied, we'd encourage you to join us for a movie so we can get to know you a bit.
The meadows are in bloom:
who has ever seen such insolence?
