It was originally scheduled for last summer but absolutely nothing about it ever came out (no clips, no images, no synopsis, not even a teaser poster), I suspect they’ve been working on it for a while but the combination of Fox being bought out, Loren Bouchard doing others things (like that Apple TV+ series) and now the coronavirus have just kept pushing it further and further back. Which is a shame, because I like Bob’s Burgers a lot and a full theatrical musical would be fun.

Is Bouchard also involved in that Alaska show (Northern... something) that just launched on Hulu? Edit: The Great North. He's the composer and executive producer, but not a writer.

I watched Secret of the Kells and other then mentally noting "this art style is different" I remember absolutely nothing about it. The place in my brain for that film is completely empty, nothing lives there.

I watched Song of the Sea with my girlfriend, so I have fond memories of it, even if I don't remember the plot, exactly.

I found a super old teaser for Song of the Sea where the uploader states they worked on it in 2009. Makes me wonder what the studio's working on right now that we're not going to see for almost a decade. Wish I could find the song they used in this too.

They didn't try it with Soul because it was too close to Mulan release date wise, people might still be pissed about Mulan and refuse to pay for it on principal. They needed to let enough time pass for everyone to forget about their previous bullshit so they could have a fresh start trying the exact same bullshit again. That's my theory anyway.

I think what they may be confused about is apparently it did actually work for Trolls, so there are a lot of variables in there. But I think a huge one was that Trolls was more kid-kid oriented, Mulan isn't something that you can put your 5 year old in front of for two hours unattended.

Pick posted:I think what they may be confused about is apparently it did actually work for Trolls, so there are a lot of variables in there. Trolls was also 19.99, not 30.00. That extra 10.01 makes a big difference. And remember, in addition to being more kid oriented like you said, Trolls came out right at the beginning of the pandemic when parents were desperate to have something new and happy and fun to show their kids during a scary time. Oh, and grown adult who love cartoons (like me) were pretty desperate for something happy and fun too. Trolls was the right time, and the right price, and I'm not sure replicating that success is going to be easy.

Trolls 2 also wasn't part of a streaming service. You rent it on VOD like a normal VOD movie.

Yeah $10 is a big drat difference, both perception-wise and, well, percentage-wise. Plus Trolls was a much more obviously kid-friendly movie. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt that not charging anything for Soul had something to do with Pixar; either they themselves didn't want the extra paywall, or Disney's number-crunchers determined that a Pixar movie shouldn't have it for whatever reason. It definitely could also be racism but for the time being I'm trying to assume it isn't.

It's way late and out of season but I watched the lego holiday special and it was really bad, which is so dumb because they had a template to make it really bad and have everyone love it then instead they just made it regular bad. The only worthwhile part was yoda in the rudolph special snowman sweater.

I'm thinking the line of reasoning is that they wanted a big "free" Christmas Day premiere to market the same way that WB did for WW84.

I watched The Secret World of Arrietty yesterday and it was a deeply conflicting movie. The artwork, particularly the background textures, are incredible and the sound design and music are great. But the theme was nihilistically horrifying: kid comes to stay at his Grandma's house, won't leave the Borrowers alone and forces them to leave their safe and secure home. But he feels bad about it and is forgiven so it's okay. And he even gives a speech about how yeah humans are destroying the world but hey poo poo happens. It was a deeply weird message. Like there's a small sideline about going out and exploring the world and not being afraid but it's definitely secondary. And the forced separation of the two cultures also is weird. And there's this similar ambiguity with Princess Mononoke where humans' destruction of the world is shown as something akin to a resigned force of nature only capable of slight change. Even though Arrietty's only 12 years old I feel that it and Mononoke just don't have the capacity to view the actual horror of what humanity does, and engage in a weird "both sides" liberalism that has just aged poorly. But hey my favourite is still Ponyo and I find Spirited Away a supercharged mess so. But man those backgrounds are great.

I think it's literally just Miyazaki's nihilism. He's not happy about it but doesn't see it stopping. He's also an old man, so he's had plenty of time to see it not stop.

But he feels bad about it and is forgiven so it's okay. The kid's foil is the nosy housekeeper who, apparently, spoke about the Borrowers as a youth and was branded nutso. So she goes to incredibly destructive lengths to capture and imprison seemingly sentient creatures for her own benefit. Though, that reminds me that it's hinted that the Doll House was built for a family of Borrowers by the kid's relatives, hinting that the situation between the two groups was a bit different in the past. The kid, by contrast, seems to get the whole thing about being constrained (due to his illness) and does try to at least make marginal improvements on the Borrowers' homestead. But he can't place himself in their shoes to see how terrifying his good act (replacing the kitchen) is to an outgroup who struggles for survival. I'm guessing that the muddled messaging comes from Miyazaki's wistful nostalgia for the animism that the older generation used as a push to be more mindful of nature.
