Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm reminded of that deliberately terrible christmas movie in the Simpsons which has a ridiculously long love ballad which was apparently not that far off actual bad musicals of the time. It plays on both Thanksgiving and Christmas on WPIX 11 and it's loving brutal. My mom demands we watch it for both holidays ever year. It also features an unauthorized appearance of a live action Mickey Mouse. Played by a monkey in a Mickey costume.

Timeless Appeal posted:Yeah, it's actually a riff on March of the Wooden Soliders. IIRC it was actually semi-authorized, sort of a gentleman's agreement, along with using the "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" song. Keep in mind Disney didn't have a huge amount of clout yet. It was 1934; Mickey himself had only been around for about 5 years, and they hadn't done any movies yet.

I do think poor reviews of Mulan will hurt it a lot more than they otherwise would, given the circumstances. There are enough barriers to seeing this thing that it's a lot easier to just not bother.

In the live action Mulan the hawk is actually a shapeshifting witch who the Huns treat as a slave. Extremely Nagini vibes here.

I just watched a Kung fu movie called Shadow the other day by the director of House of Flying Daggers. Would have liked to see him do Mulan.

I was about to say that that was just a dumb rumor added post mortem of the Harry Potter series by Rowling to claw herself back into relevancy by courting, and fundamentally misunderstanding, the "woke" crowd, but it turns out woman!Nagini appears in one of those Fantastic Animals movies. So I guess I'll just say "gently caress Rowling" instead

Why did whoever that is need to catch it, then gently toss it into the air before she did that move?

Just watched Mulan It was passable. Visuals were very pretty, and the Wuxia-style action was good but it just made me wish I was watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or some other Wuxia film where it was done with wires and practical effects rather than CGI The gang of three’s replacements were interchangeable and didn’t do anything. Mushu’s replacement, the phoenix, didn’t do anything. Donnie Yen didn’t get to do anything. Jet Li as the emperor was making mouth movements for English words but they still dubbed him and it’s super duper blaringly obvious, just atrocious lip sync The new character, the witch, was alright. She had some cool transformations. Every time they used one of the song lyrics as dialogue or the melody of a song came up in the score it made me miss the songs. I showed them to my fiancé on youtube afterwards. Final verdict: better than Lion King and B&TB remakes, not as good as Aladdin and Jungle Book remakes.

More complicated I guess for her to kick it in such a way that it would turn around and then fly back toward the guy

In case anyone’s still on the fence, i don’t think it’s worth spending $30 on, but I do think it’s worth spending 30 seconds on searching your favourite  site

Yeah, it was “okay.” It had a few bright spots but it didn’t lean in heavily enough to the wuxia style and overplayed some bits that I felt weren’t important or interesting. As mentioned it criminally underused some of the cast. I could have done with about a half dozen less CG phoenix shots. For a family of four on a Friday movie night it was fine, I’ve paid more for worse.

This is a good video that also goes into Mulan's music pre-release, and I found it very informative. It's by an actual musician guy. 25:05 goes to Mulan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaO3M-zZR8E Or for him breaking down really excellent music and ranting about how well it's done and why, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozbKHKntpCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7YCTJxfcA4 Pick fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Sep 5, 2020 |

To the surprise of absolutely no one the movie is a shitshow with maybe two or three redeemable features. Here's a live tweet of it https://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1302352476465590272?s=20

I know this has been said before, but it was a mistake to cut the songs. I rewatched the animated Multan recently and those are some great songs, if anything they should have added more songs.

Every time one of the live action ones comes out people give it lukewarm but positive reviews, until like a year later when we all admit it was loving garbage

Let the record show I came out of Beauty and the Beast and Lion King calling them trash. My chinese family is convinced the reason new Star Wars and new Mulan suck is the same root cause, Disney doesnt just not understand eastern philosphy, culture, and storytelling tropes, they actively undermine it.

live action 101 Dalmatians is a delight  never saw the original, but I mildly enjoyed the new Pete's Dragon, which makes it my favorite of the new live action remakes by far

Barudak posted:Let the record show I came out of Beauty and the Beast and Lion King calling them trash. I mean, seems a valid take. They half-assedly imitate various devices and styles without actually understanding them, and end up a tone-deaf, tedious mess. Live action 101 Dalmations was probably far less of a Big Thing as a project, and mostly built around Cruella being a lot of fun to portray. The big live action remakes have the blockbuster problem of being overmanaged and overhyped to the point where they end up incoherent design by committee that gets by on marketing gimmicks but collapses without it. (Hell, some people are starting to bring up how the MCU isn't nearly as fun without the hype train) Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Sep 7, 2020 |
