FWIW I think this is kind of overshadowed but it sounds like even if you have Hulu w/ no ads you can get a $6 monthly credit towards Disney+

https://www.polygon.com/2019/11/12/20962050/disney-plus-hulu-bundle-how-to-sign-up

I signed up on that D23 3 year deal so I'm just sort of set for a while, but might be worth looking into.

Ah bummer, there's no bundle that is just Disney+ and Hulu without Ads. The $5.99 credit is off of the $12.99 Disney/Hulu/Espn+ bundle.

So it adds up:
Hulu Ad Free - 11.99
Disney/Espn/Hulu - 12.99
5.99 credit - (5.99)
Total of 18.99 per month.

I was hoping to add Disney for some kind of discount but it's either pay full price for each separately or do this bundle and get ESPN+ for the same price.

It also never occurred to me that they could easily just have the Mandalorian meet different individual droids of the same model.

It's IG-88, I won't be convinced otherwise, there isn't anyone I could be confusing him with this time, and any promo material with him is a GoT Sean Bean type thing, head canon

It's better than most of the rest from that time, just because the animation is better and the characters were actually pretty well written for a kid's show.

So far I am enjoying Disney+. I just have one problem with their presentation. If a title is not available to stream on the platform, don't list it. Especially if it's a year or more out from being available. There were some movies I was thinking about watch only to see a message on the page about the previous streaming agreements making the title unavailable till later. Most of these seem to be titles that would become available in late 2020 and some in 2021.

Yeah that's pretty cynical on their part, but I guess they figure "new service, let them know that the things that aren't here yet will be eventually" but there's so much stuff already they probably didn't need to

article posted:


The disclaimer states: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” Some titles are also warning of “tobacco depictions,” a common viewing tool in films of the past that now is taboo in family fare.

Also getting the “outdated” warning: The Jungle Book (1967), Fantasia (1940), Swiss Family Robinson (1940, 1960), The Aristocats (1970). Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955) and The Sign of Zorro (1958). Mickey Mouse shorts from the 1920s through the 1940s are also flagged.

Perhaps surprisingly, the films Pocahontas, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and Snow White did not get a warning.

What kind of "outdated cultural depictions" are in any of those films they said didn't get the warning? I'm pretty sure they at least did research for Pocahontas and Mulan

Wikipedia posted:


Pocahontas' real name was Matoaka. "Pocahontas" was only a nickname, and it can variously be translated to "little wanton", "playful one", "little brat" or "the naughty one".[142] In the film, Pocahontas is a young adult; in reality, she was around 10 or 11 at the time John Smith arrived with the Virginia Company in 1607. John Smith was 28.[142]

Smith is portrayed as an amiable man; in reality, he was described as having a harsh exterior and a very authoritarian personality by his fellow colonists.[142]

Historically, there is no evidence of a romantic relationship emerging between Pocahontas and John Smith.[143] Whether or not Pocahontas saved Smith's life is debated.[144] English colonists led by Samuel Argall captured Pocahontas three years after John Smith departed for England; she converted to Christianity in Henricus and later married John Rolfe, who was known for introducing tobacco as a cash crop

Presumably the standard for what content gets the "outdated cultural depictions" message is more like "Does this movie contain racist caricatures?" and less like "Is this movie an inherently problematic depiction of colonialism?"

Yeah that's why I question why the article called out those movies specifically.

I figure Disney isn’t going to put content warnings on their relatively recent movies like Pocahontas and will just use it for stuff that’s like 50 years old. It’s a bit harder to use the “well, it was a different time back then...” excuse for things from the 90s.

To me at least, The Mandalorian feels like the type of thing Disney should have been doing with Star Wars in the first place. I find myself liking all the side story type stuff (this, Rogue one, even Solo) so much more than the new trilogy.

They should have earned it for a few years, sold people on Disney Star Wars, then busted out new trilogy.

Of course the new trilogy makes an insane amount of money so I’m sure Disney doesn’t give a gently caress, but I think I’d be more open to it in general if they had spent a few years to make Disneys take on SW grow on me.

The first Ewok movie is deathly boring, but the second one is watchable at least.

Can't believe how amazing stuff like the theatrical cartoon shorts look and the 4K HDR versions of The Sword in the Stone and The Black Cauldron.

They only released a single volume Blu-ray of HD versions of some Mickey shorts, but there's some quite stunning versions of 30s Silly Symphonies up. Not just looking good, the sound remastering on stuff like The Three Little Pigs is impressive.

Klaus on Netflix has gorgeous art and animation. The story is both something you expect from a Christmas movie (there's plot about a jerk finding his conscience, a man recovering from tragedy, and both ending a conflict), but also interesting since it's technically about the origin of Santa Claus but it's not entirely fantasy except for maybe the ending. Props for the including the Sami people in a movie set way up North in Europe too.

Why not consider the original 1977 Star Wars in its original form a separate stand alone movie different from Star Wars Episode IV -- A New Hope which includes all the edits and added and restored stuff? They'd be able to sell the same product twice and have it fit into two different groups of movies.
