Cruella is a lot of fun, but would be way better if it was the same movie but not about Cruella de Vil. The second hour also drags a bit. But it's The Devil Wears Prada on crack, and I mean that as a compliment. It does enough of its own thing well enough to not bother me, not unlike Maleficent. At this rate, I wouldn't even complain if Disney just gave all of their villains the Wicked treatment. So far their success rate is streets ahead of the straight live action remakes. If they can pull it off with imo arguably the two most irredeemable villains on the roster, the rest should be ezpz. At least these movies do something different.

Yeah, most of the long lasting appeal of Sailor Moon comes from the added stuff in the OG anime. Crystal is a faithful adaptation of a manga with little character development beyond Usagi herself, while the OG anime gives the rest of the cast a lot of room to breathe and grow. Plus Ikuhara's run directing is just good TV.

There is also the mythical lost pilot of an American version of Sailor Moon that was some kind of mix of animated and live action.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I've definitely aged out of Sailor Moon but it's harmless, good at what it does, and super fuckin' gay at a time when local American media would never have dared. Fun fact: the basic foundation for Utena is taken from a Uranus and Neptune movie Ikuhara was planning to do before he left Sailor Moon. The pegasus Utena and Anthy fly on in the opening credits is a reference to that original treatment.
