Do those toys want kids or not? I don’t get it. In my mind they still like it but prefer to engage in play with a sense of empowerment. They chose to engage and they choose when to leave. In my mind it’s the “siblings/friends who occasionally like to babysit” type.

Steve2911 posted:I feel like it was a bit muddled, theme wise. What's the movie saying at the end? To not get stuck on one idea of a happy life or purpose when there are infinite options out there. In Woody's case that means moving on from the past and experiencing new things. He states that saving Forky for Bonnie was "the last thing he has left to do", suggesting he was pretty much just going to give up on any sort of future happiness, instead living exclusively in memories. A lot of seniors do what he was planning on, basically deciding they are done and just waiting around to die rather than seeking any further purpose or happiness with their remaining time. Gabby has a variation on that theme, where she is stuck on a dream dependent on a single child, who doesn't actually have any special property other than being a chance encounter they have pinned their fantasy life to. This version is most analogous to people who get caught up on an unrequited love or dead end relationship. Bo Peep is the counter to both of them, having learnt to actively seek out a new life and greater happiness rather than passively waiting for it to happen or clinging to the limited options that come your way by chance.

I thought Lion King remake was boring as heck. I felt nothing from it. I spent every shot thinking about how well they captured animal movement and fur dynamics but it didn’t move or absorb me one iota. The row behind me cried a lot though so whatever. I did get to see the Cats trailer on the big screen before Lion King so that was great.

Saw the Lion King and it just left me kind of sad at the lost potential. Unemotive lion problem aside, I'm really miffed that 95% of it was a shot for shot remake. The best parts are where the dialogue is changed from the original and it's why Timon and Pumbaa were the best characters, they played off each other very well. I just don't get the point in remaking something so exactly. They started to go somewhere with the hyenas as a little side plot but it's like they were scared to go off the rails even a little bit. I don't necessarily regret seeing it but I'm echoing the sentiment that it just makes me want to rewatch the original.

I wasn't planning to, but I saw the Lion King today. Timon and Pumba were magnificent. Beauty and the Beast! And Meta awareness joke were great. Can't wait to be king is still a great song/scene even without the surrealism. Zazu was great. I rather liked the new scenes showing more post Scar pride rock. I also loved the extra animals living with Timon and Pumba, it made the world seem bigger and more alive. It's basically the original Lion King. The new song is terrible and in a pointless scene as well. Lions and Meerkats can't emote which didn't help the movie and lessened some scenes. I don't know why, but the final battle felt underwhelming. Rafiki showing up didn't have the humor. The Mr Pig joke was removed for a speech about self acceptance which unlike the mr Pig joke came out of nowhere. The fight between Nala and Female Hyena was great, yet the sequence felt longer and not to it's advantage. Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie by virtue of Lion King being great.  Honestly, it reminded me most of the previous generation of videogames where everything was Brown to be realistic and they completely missed that realism doesn't always make something better.

Oh yeah, there was a In The Heat of the Night tv show that was airing during the time The Lion King came out so the Mr. Tibbs reference was sorta relevant. Didn't mean to sound glib there. On a whim I decided to watch the show today. A plot point of the pilot was the Mayor of Sparta trying to get an integrated police department in the timely year of 1988.

I wasn't even aware that that was a reference to begin with.  Nah, what I meant was that throughout the original movie the only one to refer to Pumba as a pig is Timon, which makes pig a sort of affectionate nickname. Which in turn makes the joke function even if you're or aware that it was a reference. In this case however no one in the movie referred to Pumba as fat. Dimwitted yes. Smelly, also yes. Fat, not that it stuck with me.

A friend of mine is asking about an animated character he remembers seeing possibly on a pog, so I figure this might be a good place to ask. The character had long thick blonde hair and half his face was a metal skull. Sound familiar to anybody? eta- Nevermind, he says figured it out.
