I'm just surprised I was the first one to make a Candle Jack reference in the year of our lo if nothing else, I'm committed to the bit.

It looks like Disney+ is getting a more legit "yo this movie has racist stuff in it" warning. The article mentions Peter Pan, Dumbo, Lady & the Tramp, and Fantasia. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/disney-plus-dumbo-peter-pan-content-warning-1234806732/ It'll stay onscreen for 10 seconds. I was wondering why Fantasia needs it (since it hasn't had the centaur slave thing since forever) but I guess those Chinese-looking mushroom guys qualify.

If that were really legit, they’d put the warning in front of everything: Pocahontas, Mulan Remake, etc.

That one's in a particularly awkward place because, unlike some of the others, I absolutely do not recall that being identified as a slur or even a potential slur at the time and I don't even really know how or when that shift in perception happened. Someday they'll rename gypsy moths I assume. I mean it certainly was never a compliment, but because of the literal thing you referred to and negative associations to that literal thing, not because the word itself was considered a poisonous means by which to refer to that thing. Making its use in the movie now very awkward, Because the goal of the movie was to show that the associations shouldn't be negative for the group, I don't feel like they were expecting the controversy to come from the word itself.

I liked Secret of the Kells better, but they're both stunning. Kells is definitely slower and thinner with plot and characterization. I just don't think having more plot and more characterization instantly equals being better.

I rewatched the 2001 anime Metropolis movie yesterday for the first time in years. It's an odd film. Tezuka's Disney-esque designs wandering around an 80s anime city, like seeing Pinocchio walk into Akira. Because of how much the movie tries to show, the characters don't get developed much. We know their motivations at least, and maybe that's enough. The real draw of the movie is the visuals and music, and despite some dated cg it still looks incredible. The final explosion combined with "I Can't Stop Loving You" isn't quite earned, because the romance between the two protagonists felt like rather shallow puppy love, but you sort of forget because of how great the animation looks.

Hedrigall posted:Now I’m seeing if don bluth can make penguins horny This lead me to rediscover that don bluth had a penguin movie, which in turn lead me to realize that the foreign language animated penguin movie from my childhood that I have been trying to find for years was actually a false memory mixing the intimidatingly large and aggressive leopard seal and killer whales from 'The Pebble and the Penguin' with 'The Adventures of Lolo the Penguin' to create a non-existent movie that is much better than either of those films. Both feature some surprisingly dark/kind of scary moments with those animals (and several other situations in Lolo's case), getting caught by humans, and befriending a penguin from one of the yellow crested breeds. The less annoying characters and comparatively mature/bleak story of Lolo but with the danger/action scenes animated like the predators from Pebble would have ruled.

The only good part of Wreck It Ralph 2 is the nightmare fuel at the end. Other than that, it's so corporate and groan-worthy. The world basically copies the Emoji Movie, which was already creatively bankrupt.

More the problem there is it's all written by and increasingly for weird nerds who have no concept of what a healthy or realistic relationship looks like, but to be fair, it's not like most of Japan seems to either. Or the rest of the world, for that matter. And the scary part is a lot of young people grow up believing that's genuinely how relationships work, and it's a non-trivial factor in how you get incels.

Or the rest of the world, for that matter. I dunno, there are a lot of pretty affecting love stories in anime. Tatami Galaxy, Summer Wars, Toradora, to name a few. The main issue in Metropolis is the characters are so young and basically only know each other for a super short amount of time and don't get developed much because of the amount of other stuff going on in the film. Combine that with the fact that Tima is mostly a blank slate of a character, and the only reason why the protagonist likes her is because she's cute.

I would hesitate to call it romance, but it works because of its simplicity. Tima's "father" is trying to game her as a kind of false messiah, her "brother," is jealous because he thinks the empire should be his. Kenichi, being a kid, takes her at face value and easily becomes her friend, like he also does with the big silly robot. Like everyone else in the movie is trying to either build or destroy a social machine, but both sides are blind to how the machine is functioning, to their detriment or to their benefit. The kids just accept it, they're already living there.

It's cute! It's a fun movie! It's very briefly got Tom Selleck! Ralph Breaks the Internet is loving awful though. It's honestly kind of impressive how bad it is in so many different ways - as a poorly thought-out sequel to a really good movie, as a lame Emoji Movie ripoff that's super desperate to be relevant, and as a blatant Disney self-suck where you get to celebrate how awesome it is that one company owns everything you enjoy!

Barudak posted:My vague memory is marketing wanted to tie to Kim Kardashian Breaks the Internet because that is the reference and topicality kids crave I'm 99% certain that's a scene that maybe was just made for the trailers where they have this exact conversation, and yeah, it's "breaks" because that's the saying. The movie's underlying lesson about friendship was fine, I thought. At least slightly healthier than WIR1's lesson, which was...be happy with your lot in life, if you try to change jobs you'll destroy everything and everyone you ever loved? But yeah, the actual writing was super weird. The entire thing being about eBay, of all sites, in the year 2018 felt extremely "your grandparents talk about the internet." The fact that the shady spambot Make Money Fast guy ended up being a straight shooter was a weird decision. Sidelining Felix and Calhoun was just unfortunate. All that said, while the Disney and the Princesses Save the Day sequences were embarrassing, I still laugh a bit at this:  PS Chicken Little is the obvious go-to for wretched Disney movie. Holy poo poo that was bad.

WIR's message is really just "the grass is always greener on the other side", don't try to make it more than that. Anyone could take that too far and decide they should never try to change anything, but that's not really the movie's problem. It's a pretty standard-issue message.
