Buzz Lightyear is named after 'Buzz' Aldrin, second man on the moon, so at least there's precedent? Still a weird choice, but maybe they wanted to make an astronaut movie and slapped a familiar name on it.

https://i.imgur.com/coTI1yN.mp4 Wolfwalkers is an incredibly beautiful movie, and a great champion for hand drawn animation. The ending feels bitter sweet though, since humans did eventually colonise and hunted the wolf to exctinction on the british isles.

Watching Mickey's Christmas Carol on D+ and, uh, Disney really just shat it through the Upscale Filter and called it a day, right?

Given how Disney traditionally loves to leave its back catalogue sitting in the vault til they feel like a fancy rerelease once in a blue moon, it's not too surprising that since Disney+ is such a radical shift from their business model, and likely a very reluctant one, they keep loving it up.

The lightyear movie must end with stinky pete trying to sabatoge the mission, cut off the oxygen, destroy the rocket on the launchpad, something like that. It is the only way I will not demand my money back, my family's money back, their family's money back, and so on.

Here's something I don't get: why do they do this? Is the money they make out of the occasional release worth letting their catalogue gather dust in their famous vault, compared to the money they would make setting up a decent streaming service?

The idea was to hype the releases as events into themselves (and create artificial scarcity), boosting demand. It's probably an artifact of how Disney (and the industry at large) operated for a long time, periodically re-releasing their animated features into theaters; Snow White got 7 re-releases before the VHS came out. When the Disney Vault was invented, I think it just sort of became part of the company's thing. The fact that Pixar movies have always been continuously available, even after acquisition by The Mouse, suggests the financial reasoning wasn't that important to them. Obviously they eventually decided a streaming service was the right thing to do with their insane catalog. A quick Best Buy search shows all the Renaissance movies are available on blu-ray, which suggests they've quietly retired the vault policy. Wikipedia says nothing has been vaulted since August 2019.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some contracts and legal poo poo in there too, like "once the film is out of theatres for 10 years then X dollars go to Y"

Small nitpick, but The Great Mouse Detective was considered an unexpected success and was better received at the box-office than anticipated, thus encouraged Disney wrt: its animation department.

When the Disney Vault was invented, I think it just sort of became part of the company's thing. The fact that Pixar movies have always been continuously available, even after acquisition by The Mouse, suggests the financial reasoning wasn't that important to them. Disney apparently has some weird but effective scheduling voodoo, the Gravity Falls people talked about how Disney had them release a drip-feed of episodes basically at random when they already had the series completed, but apparently it does work for maximum engagement, one episode they negotiated to be released earlier didn't live up to metric. I presume Cartoon Network's pants-on-head scheduling of Steven Universe is an inept attempt to emulate this. But that whole business model no longer works. Consumers have control over what they watch and when, and if they aren't given it, they'll take it into their own hands with piracy. The video game industry learned this lesson a long time ago, somewhat forcibly and likely bouyed by the other benefits of having reliably online infrastructure for patches and such. And given streaming services live and die on actually having a broad and reliable range of content appealing to a variety of demographics and tastes, there's no benefit to Disney being stingy with it. Though I imagine this is a headache for Disney's management being used to doing things their way.

It was basically the cap to S1 and also revealed that everyone already knows this but Garnet was a fusion of two gems in a very coded relationship so it was the twee animation equivalent of when Fox Kids did a week of the drat original Green Power Ranger saga. CN decided "wow, if we just release them in chunks it'll be a blockbuster" instead of 'wow, people really responded to the long-form plot reveals!'

I don't think it had a Christmas episode, but that would require it to be available online in any capacity, and I think there's only a handful of VHS rips on YouTube. If you want some good, schmaltzy CanCon, go and watch The Nutcracker Prince, featuring a half-asleep Kiefer Sutherland

Timeless Appeal posted:I googled if Road Rovers ever had a Christmas special. It didn't, but man, it borders on a fan fiction sub-genre. I just remembered that Hunter from Road Rovers was voiced by Jess Harnell from Animaniacs...and Colleen was Tress MacNeille. I don't think Rob Paulsen was in it anywhere. Jess voicing a more serious character than Wakko is weird to me now that I realize it...but I do miss the show.
