Still on the boat after much googling, to no avail.
Giving it one last once over.

Thank you for the nudges. I’m ashore, but wouldn’t have made it on my own. Bummed to break my streak so early in the year!

In spite of "caving" and finally checking out a nudge from a "super friendly" muggle, I am
STILL ON THE SHIP.
I'm all googled out and fractured on fairy tales at this point, so say goodnight, Gracie!

Nice one...

I do not care for the accommodations on this ship, nor do I enjoy Isaac's company. But on this ship I, a film lover, find myself, confused and rueful and wondering who's flirting with my cabana boy on the shore.

A friendly nudge got me to shore, with two minutes to spare! Goodbye Isaac, hello cabana boy!

BTW, did anyone else see BATHEMAGGOT and think BABE MAGNET and get lost going down that road?

The swim of shame. Back to boat for me. Did anyone else submit Bambi? I thought answer would end in “I” then the iambic pentameter thing. Female deer in there too etc etc.but it never completely gelled. Love the solution. Good work to all you code crackers

I quickly realized that this meta would take extensive research to complete so I cast the puzzle aside and moved on to more pleasurable pursuits for my weekend. When I saw the answer I have no regrets.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Well I tried to see if I could mess it up some how and come up with a typically odd answer but I couldn't, the mechanism was just too tight. However, I did learn a valuable lesson, do not just haphazardly Google movies on the Internet...for instance there is a movie called "Coming To" that I managed to find and though I did not watch it I now want to buy a scarf.....

This was a very clever mechanism that I didn't see right away but eventually got.
Initially I was thinking it would be a 5 letter animated movie (eg shrek, bambi)
"Coming to" was the first thing that set me down the rabbit hole that showed me the answer. (great movie by the way, watched it again this year)
But I couldn't think of a popular animated movie called "A B _ G S"
I shook my fist at Gaffney after realizing he couldn't spoil the ending.

I thought maybe the first part of the answer belonged at the end and it was " MAGGOT BATH" with a leftover "E"
I can't think of a movie where that's a thing that people want to watch...

I was stumped by HE GOT GAME for a while. I wanted it to be THE something. So I tried backsolving, but I was thinking BOURNE IDENTITY (despite Matt's warning to be careful on that one). With that misstep, I had the letters A B I _ S...aha! The letters would anagram to SIMBA and the answer would be the Lion King. Only when I went back and heeded the warning about BOURNE did I see the mistake and HE GOT GAME jumped right out at me. Really liked it!
