The former, given a fair amount of salty comics did children's/family stuff - Bob Saget had issues with people bringing kids to his stand during and post-Full House and his actual comedy is extremely blue.

Whiz Palace posted:Do kids show voice actors have to be reminded to say "oh my gosh" constantly, or are they just plucked from properly wholesome families? It's not like people don't watch old stuff. Or people don't modify their language when in mixed company. Heck, I don't swear nearly as much as I used to mostly because I got bored of it and developed more bizarre exclamations. Apparently not unique if game streamer Alpharad's 'God... bless America!' is any indication.

It seems to be totally arbitrary. Like, every main character in Wreck-It Ralph has a filmography full of R-rated comedy and also sometimes nudity and everyone from SpongeBob to Mabel Pines are filthy-mouthed alt comics and nobody cares but then you have things like people being outraged that that children's YouTuber had a different persona doing sketch comedy years ago or Katy Perry being on Sesame Street while possessing breasts.

Just got around to watching Brave Little Toaster for the first time. It was alright, although a big sluggish at first, and some of the voice actors were phoning it in. Also I found many of the songs lacking, although the spare-parts shop and junkyard were interesting setpieces. It definitely picked up towards the end, but overall, without the nostalgia factor I just didn't really feel it.

Watching an ABC special on The Lion King. It focuses on the CGI version, the original animated movie, and the Broadway play Favreau says there's one scene in the CGI movie that is just CGI animals on a real background from Africa and was added just to see if anyone could tell the difference. Also he, Seth, and Billy all confirmed they ad-libbed Timon and Pumbaa. Billy is happy that Favreau cast a gay actor as Timon as Nathan Lane played him previously and he played Timon with a "gay sensibility". I'm gay and I'm not sure what that means but ok then.  I saw Aladdin this afternoon. I loved it. Will Smith was perfect for a live action Genie and the stuff added helped the story a lot. I'm all for Naomi Scott's Jasmine and she did great. EDIT: Beyonce's song is in the movie. They're showing the music video now. ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jul 17, 2019 |

beyonce is releasing a Black Panther-esque soundtrack/playlist for Lion King and it's the first thing i've seen that makes me glad that this movie was made. It's got her and Jay and Childish on the same track, her and Kendrick on a track, her and Pharell on a track, but it also has some really good lesser known artists that I really like, Tierra Whack and Jessie Reyez, which is very good.

I’m seeing Lion King tonight with my fiancé in one of those premium cinemas with recliners and drink service :3 Also I just got the Art And Making Of book for the movie. It’s pretty decent, has a lot of nice artwork. I’ll be interested to see if the text justifies the super realistic/drab look the final film has.

Yep, they talked about that in the documentary Robin Roberts did. She wanted it to be a love letter to Africa and actually feature African musicians and not just drums or chanting randomly. It's actually up on Google Play and it's loving amazing.

Hi I just saw Lion King! I have some thoughts but first of all let me just say I’m never going to a “premium” cinema that has reclining seats and food and drinks and waiters again because it’s noisy and distracting as poo poo and not worth being double the price of a regular movie ticket. My cinema had Lion King themed cocktails though which was cute. I enjoyed a Simba and my fiancé had a Timon. Anyway, here’s what I thought about the Lion King remake... Bad: - Reviews are on the ball, it’s pretty lifeless for a lot of it. Scenes like Circle of Life fall rather flat when they should be triumphant. - It’s like 90% word for word and scene for scene the 1994 movie, yet the writers of that movie don’t get credited?? - No Mufasa face in the clouds, just random clouds and the voice. - Can You Feel the Love Tonight scene takes place in broad daylight - Be Prepared was truncated and really disappointing. I have more to say about why it might have been changed later. - It’s 30 minutes longer than the 1994 film but all the added stuff is like... lots of little bits of nothing most of the time. - Lots of bits taken out too, weirdly. Like Rafiki’s playfulness. Zazu singing the coconuts song. Little things that in their absence make the movie feel more generic. Neutral: - I Just Can’t Wait To Be King doesn’t switch to a colourful cartoony fantasy version of the savannah like in the animated one, but the sequence is instead a rather fun choreographed slapstick romp through a watering hole with lots of animals so it’s fine. - Beyoncé’s song is good but it plays for like 30 seconds non-diagetically instead of Nala actually singing it. I was hoping for another big musical number. - Beyoncé does all her typical vocal flourishes in Love Tonight, which, okay you hired Beyoncé so you get Beyoncé. But it’s distracting. My fiancé and I laughed. You can barely hear Donald Glover under her. - The facial animation is actually okay. Not great but not terrible. Some animals like the hyenas have way more expressive faces. Shamefully the lions have the least animation in that respect. - Scar creeping on Nala has been taken out and replaced with Scar creeping on Sarabi. There’s also a hinted back story that is barely mentioned, about how at one point in the past Sarabi chose Mufasa over Scar and that’s why Mufasa is king? Idk I’m not sure Good: - Timon and Pumbaa. drat they’re great. They come in halfway through and really inject some energy into what had been a pretty drab film up to that point. Really funny, lots of new lines and ad libs and gags. - The scene where they sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Nala attacks is amazing. Maybe the best scene of the film. - Little Pumbaa in the Hakuna Matata flashback might be the most adorable thing in the movie. - T&P also get a great gag later involving another Disney movie song. - The hyenas are pretty well animated and get a little more to do. One of them is sort of established as Scar’s equal rather than his servant which makes the hyenas more powerful, and might explain why Be Prepared changes a bit? He’s not talking down to them in that song, instead he’s kind of imploring them to listen to him. - It’s visually gorgeous. Any frame taken out of the film is amazing to look at. It’s just the lifelessness in motion that holds it back, sadly. - That said, there’s still a lot of impressive realistic animal animation. Yeah, they don’t move like *animated* animals. But tons of work was done to animate hundreds of creatures from scratch and it’s still worthy of praise. - Voice work overall is pretty good.

I pity folks who don't have access to Chunky's. Five dollars for matinee tickets and the chairs are literally Lincoln Town Car seats welded onto wheeled scaffolding so you can roll around to adjust position at your table. They open the theaters 45 minutes early(sometimes earlier) so folks can arrive early, get a good seat, and eat prior to the movie or at least have something to munch on mid-movie, and the prices aren't outlandish either.

And while I think A whole new world is a GREAT song, to me “Disney” and everything it encompasses and branded as is clearly “When you wish upon a Star” Like come on— it’s not even debatable! Bare Necessities, Someday my prince will come, why should I worry? , Once Upon a Dream..... like...... And then a bunch of Hunchback songs and NOT Hellfire? *throws list in the trash*

Maybe it’s just the cinema chain I went to, but it was a cruddy experience. Capped off by the fact the screen was much smaller than one in a regular theatre because it was a premium thing with only like 25 seats. The only reason I did it was because I had a voucher for two premium seats for au$20 instead of the normal $60.

The AMC I visit has barely audible whirr on the chairs and you have to place your orders BEFORE the movie starts so that they have time to make it and get it to no later than as the movie starts. That and the screens vary in size depending on the movies week and how highly promoted it is(first week it'll or highly promoted, big screen in theater that sits a good solid 150). You could say there's noise from the plastic cutlery, but that too is negligible due to the speakers used.

The vfx supervisor for Lion King was Adam Valdez, who also supervised Jungle Book. If you’re interested in the process that goes into making these movies and the sheer amount of stuff the ppl at the top have to consider, this is worth a watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=63n6TD83kNc Their eyes are so trained and need to be able to pick up issues on a per pixel basis and be able to identify what department is responsible for the issue. In 2d animation the problem would be “the drawing isn’t working” but in cg it could be an issue with the rig or animation or muscle and fur simulations or lighting or compositing. Just tracking that down through myriad overlapping departments is a headache and a half.
