* In her review of ''[[Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure The Oogieloves]]'', Diva analyzes movie producer Kenn Viselman's thought process of eschewing a BigBad from the movie because he wonders "[But] why does there have to be evil?"

-->'''Diva:''' ''(Quoting the director)'' "Pixar always has the triumph of good over evil. But why does there have to be evil in the first place?" Because kids don't live in a [[SweetnessAversion candy-colored bubble]] like your characters, Kenn. They live in a world where evil ''exists'', along with common every day struggles: conflicts with friends and siblings, fears and anxieties over certain situations, coping with anger and sadness and disappointment. Stories are one of the ways they learn to ''deal'' with these situations, and [[MiseryBuildsCharacter develop the tools]] they'll need to interact with a world that won't always be sunshine and lollipops for them. And the fact that you think that's a bad thing shows just how little you understand or appreciate those you want to entertain.
