The problem with Hunchback is that most of the points in its favour had to do with it being a gorgeously animated film. They're never going to go full-on everyone dies in the end faithful to the novel, so I think the best we could hope for is just a substantially less interesting film overall, like Aladdin.

The character in Hunchback that's most faithful to the original novel is the funny animal sidekick.

There's a musical based on the Disney film that actually does go with the everybody dies ending, along with a bunch of previously novel-only plot points, so it's possible they could go off of that.

Disney's CEO told IGN that this is the only film they'll be doing this way..but I'm pretty sure that's a lie.

You know they won't, though, right? They'll hew as close to the movie as possible while maybe toning down the gargoyle and baby goat hijinx and maybe tossing a song or two from the musical in (while inexplicably butchering the pacing and staging of the accompanying musical number).

Hunchback is one of my favorite Disney films mostly because of the incredible soundtrack so... yeah, the prospect of the remake cutting it all out leaves me pretty wary.

I think it's hard to predict what the Hunchback remake will look like, not least of all because it probably would have been at least somewhat influenced by Mulan's performance. Like, if you had told the thread 2-3 years ago that movie wouldn't be a musical, you could have won some toxx clause bets. It's an interesting test to see how audiences feel about a "remake" that's actually a pretty new movie. Of course, now that the "audience" is all hosed up, who knows.

I do wonder if they'll still have the visual of Notre Dame being surrounded by flames, but honestly there are plenty of ways around that, it's hardly the most important part of the story.

Theaters in the UK are very, very upset that Mulan is going to be on Disney+. https://www.cbr.com/uk-theaters-angered-by-mulan-planned-disney-release/ Like... very upset. https://www.cbr.com/mulan-theater-owner-destroys-display-after-disney-plus-announcement/ Apparently it won't be simultaneously on D+ and in theaters either, it will most likely be only online. This is apparently what they're telling theaters behind the scenes.

Aside from the pandemic being the obvious reason releasing movies in theaters right now is dumb, I do wonder how much of the decision to make Mulan a $29.99 VOD exclusive on Disney+ was charged by the possibility that the movie would likely bomb in China if it were released theatrically.

capitalist hoarding of entertainment is one of the reasons pandemic lockdown has been so poo poo for so many people. it could have been so easy to stay inside. we could have been all having a lovely time enjoying the past five hundred years of storytelling, catalogued in full colour on this huge electronic fever dream that is accessible to anyone with electricity and an internet connection. but instead most of it is locked away out of sight forever, and the rest has to be paid for with money that increasingly few of us have. this is completely deliberate; if every person had access to everything that had been made, they wouldn't get as bored, and the craving for new stories they hadn't heard yet wouldn't be as desperate or as lucrative. not only did the pandemic lock everyone inside, it also halted the production of new media and collapsed half the existing outlets. that's not just cartoons, it's everything - games, blockbusters, comics, magazines, reality shows. mindless entertainment was meant to be the only thing our society did well. but when a time came when we actually needed mindless entertainment to survive, greed took over and the corporations shat the bed. we're all so accustomed from birth now to a perpetual drip of pop culture, but that got taken away at the same time that the best thing for the whole species was for everybody to lock themselves in their houses and watch tv. it's the boredom that's driving anti-lockdown behaviour. the corporations could help, so easily, but they won't; because it wouldn't make them money. it wouldn't even lose them money, it just wouldn't make it. i paid eighty-five australian dollars for a dvd of heavy traffic and the bitterness will remain in my soul forever

I know it's usually safe to assume that iconic Australian wildlife is protected, but kangaroos are like deer. You can shoot them if you want (and you have a gun, which is the harder part) and you're more likely to crash into one. They're good eating, but can be very gamey.

This looks to be their first animated project which might be because they can produce it without the risks live action filming has right now. edit: geez they really gave me an avatar avatar. i thought i was safe cause i've never paid for an avatar before.

... I'm alright with A24 doing TV, I'm alright with them doing animated stuff, but, Hazbin Hotel? Really? Really? e: Like, even setting aside that it is Not My Thing on basically any level (and kinda feels like a turbo-edgy cargo cult Invader Zim), this seems... distinctly off brand for A24.

E: yeah I guess they've done a bunch of TV stuff including At Home With Amy Sedaris, aka the objectively best show on television

Actually my very favorite outcome, which would make me laugh for 100,000 million years if it happened, is if essentially she signed over the entire premise of the show and it ended up being written and animated by other people, and it ended up much better. So her original characters (donut steel) would have much better designs and characterization, the entire labor of love being vastly improved by creative takeover and pervasive corporate oversight.
