Ccs posted:I've been rewatched Futurama which has like 8 voice actors doing about 200 different roles. Really shows the range that pro voice actors have as opposed to celebrities who can usually do their normal voice. I was watching the episode of Inside the Actors Studio with the cast of The Simpsons and it was hilarious as they read off the characters. I knew it was kinda lopsided but hearing it out loud really cemented it.

cant cook creole bream posted:Unfortunately it's the former. Jazz is weird. I basically like music from every single genre, but that one is somehow both boring and overbearing. Also, for some reason I get headaches from the sound of saxophones. Oh, and I don't like pretentious jazz people. All of that makes me stay away from that movie. I will be the rear end in a top hat and suggest that you probably could've spent the minutes writing these posts just watching the start of Soul instead, and maybe it turns out you love it despite jazz.

I'm trying to figure out if I would've found Soul's historic figures as mentors bit funny when I was younger (but still old enough to recognize them), because they left me completely stone-faced. Just "yes, I see what you're doing here, no it's not funny, can we move along now oh good there's more". Overall it felt like a movie with several better movies mixed up within it, and I kinda wish we got to see one of those instead. I'd watch Joe's life on Earth, Joe's soul somehow being the first to ever break the rules, Dez's life, 22 doing anything other than occupying a Black body, Dorothea Williams's life, Joe's mom's life, Moonwind's crew wandering around. There's lots of good here, but we only get it for a few minutes at a time.

Sir Lemming posted:I mean it's hard to really debate this without any direct quotes, because it's an extremely nuanced thing, but I do potentially get it. You put all this work into a movie hoping to eventually see it pay off, but then the studio decides to release it in a way where there may not be any quantifiable way to determine whether it was a success. And then at the same time, the same company (sort of) releases other movies targeted at a similar audience in a way where there will be a quantifiable measure of success. This sounds like it to me. Box office revenue is a (fairly stupid, unless you're funding movies) way to rank and talk about movies, but it's at least a proxy for how many people saw your movie. When it's streaming only, you never get numbers. Actually, does Disney release numbers for $30 releases? I would've guessed they make some vague statements and unlabelled graphs and keep the actual info under wraps. Staying mad at the suits sounds like a great way to hate your studio job.

flashy_mcflash posted:?? I was thinking along these lines after rewatching The Lego Batman Movie the other day. It and Into the Spider-Verse are two of my favourite movies of the last decade, and they both involve smashing multiple different interpretations/versions of well-known characters into the same setting. I have a fairly uninformed comic book background (seen some movies, never read anything), so it's not my deep connection or knowledge, but there's something magical about putting those different versions side-by-side. And I guess doing an absolutely killer job on the production. That helps too.

Saw Raya yesterday and it is the most average movie I've ever seen. What the hell was the point of that. Either tell a coherent story or make it a "five short stories about Kumandra" or poo poo let's just follow Boun around. Almost all of the punch-up dialogue was a miss too. I don't need every line to work perfectly across little kids and adults, but when it's taking me out of the movie that's no good. The score oddly sucked too, though it was better than that awful credits song. Partway through one of us watching said "wait, the dragons are My Little Ponies" and yep, they sure are. Also was I the only one surprised by there actually being a hundred dragons? Like there's a 1:1 ratio of dragons to humans. I mean, sure, whatever, but up to the end I thought there were five. Also I thought Sisu needed to touch a gem piece in order to walk on raindrops but then all 100 dragons can do it so was that a special power or not ok I'm done.

BonoMan posted:I dunno man. I think context is key here. Also each one seems to own either side of the white bar. I'd say it's intentional. Or at least reinforced. Luca is like 40% blue in that frame. It's a cool idea but this feels like one of those "fun facts" that goes around for years until someone finally asks the artist and they answer "hadn't even occurred to me".

Robindaybird posted:EDIT: as not to double post, watching Fantasia 2000 again. Pomp and Circumstance is still the worst segment and given it's a replacement for an even worse idea. I do think people were harsher on than it deserve especially as the home video segment of the original Fantasia had cut out all the talking bits from the roadshow run (which is what D+ has), though yes the CGI of the Pines of Rome did not age that well - Rhapsody in Blue is still the best segment. My memory of Fantasia 2000 is walking as a sixth grade class downtown to the Imax to see it. It was like a 30 minute walk each way, and I marvel at the idea that such a field trip would come close to being okayed by any school administrator today. I got popcorn on the way out of the theatre (not the way in) so I could snack on the walk back. Don't remember a thing about the movie, I should watch it again too.

readingatwork posted:I wouldn't be shocked if you told me that Watterson took a lot of inspiration from Schulz. For example Schulz liked to do snowman comics that feel very similar Calvin's (albeit more wholesome). That's a good call, Watterson's not shy about citing Peanuts as a main influence. I think he even wrote the foreword of the Schulz biography.

Shadow Hog posted:It wouldn't surprise me if all those Berenstain Universe film lines were real - after all, The Matrix didn't gain its iconic green tint for the in-the-Matrix scenes until home releases, apparently, so changes being made post-theatrical-run do seem to be a thing. I thought it was there in the first movie, but they cranked it way up in the sequels and adjusted future releases of the first to match? And never forget releasing a week one patch for Cats.

IShallRiseAgain posted:The plastic fork toy just has Buzz Lightyear's arc from the first movie. The entire movie is basicallly just recycled plots from prior entries in the franchise. The subplot about Bo Peep striking out on her own is the only unique plot point. Since there is so much other stuff going on in the film, it barely gets any focus though. I don't think fork toy works in a first movie because it plays on the seeming rule that toys are manufactured as toys. There's value in exploring two different flavours, "your life is a lie" and "so you just crawled out of the primordial soup", even though they're both an existential crisis. I see what you mean though.

Comrade Fakename posted:1) The central metaphor here has some pretty questionable implications. So the red panda represents unbridled emotion, and in particular sexual feelings. This is pretty clear, she summons the panda by imagining one of the 4-Town boys as a shirtless merman. And this works well as a through line in the movie. But when the girls are trying to raise money for the concert, they put on shows where all the kids can hang out with the panda - what is this supposed to represent? Mei, er, displaying her sexuality to other children? For money? All these kids pawing at and hugging a cute panda seems pretty weird considering everything else in the film! I think you’re going out of your way to pick up one of the many triggering feelings we see and carry it into another scene? Unless deforestation, competition loss, and cute kittens are also meant to evoke particularly sexual feelings. Like I follow your logic but I don’t think it's in the film.

Comrade Fakename posted:1) Based on the fact that Domee got started on fan art (and wow, weird to see Haruhi and Phoenix Wright art in a Disney product!), I speculate that the “making money with the panda” metaphor I talked about earlier was in fact an allusion to her producing erotic fan art as a teenager. It obviously fits in with her hobby, it’s something her parents would likely be very upset about, and as the panda represents sexuality, it fits that too. What do the relative sizes of the kid, mom, auntie, and grandma pandas say about their sexuality?

Vitruvian Manic posted:Watching the "making of" documentary it was funny because the people who create Frozen (a terrible movie that unexpectedly succeeded) are now getting attention from real Disney creators like the people who made Zootopia and Big Hero Six (two great movies that dominated the cultural zeitgeist). The original version from the songs we have is a diptych story where Christoph is trying to propose to Anna and Elsa is discovering love in her own way. That got ditched HARD and replaced with something that is truly amazing and Disney. That making-of was surprisingly good. I can't imagine they set out to capture a train wreck, and they don't outright put it together like they captured a train wreck, but it's just quietly sitting there the whole time. Or maybe every movie is a stew of uncertainty and frantic test-rewrite cycles, idk, but that doesn't usually make it into the making-of.

I was surprised how involved the songwriters were in the story process. Maybe that's not uncommon but it seemed weird to me, and I took it as none of the script making any sense and/or nobody being willing to make a decision. So they punted on it as long as possible and crammed the resolution of all the things into The Song. Which predictably didn't solve the problem of making any sense or picking a direction. My favourite part is the songwriters getting off yet another call about story changes and more or less going "what the hell was that".

Sivart13 posted:To the credit of the team behind Frozen 2, the documentary actually reveals things about the process of the movie getting made and doesn't make much effort to hide the big obstacles they tried, successfully or not, to negotiate along the way Agreed. Nothing wrong with enjoying some soundbites alongside shots of wacoms and a sound booth, but it's cool to go a bit deeper. edit: oh my other favourite part of the Frozen 2 doc is Idina Menzel doing her best not to look extremely bored during a studio tour.

The only 9/11-related thing I remember coming up at school after the event itself, as a ~13-year-old in Canada, was some other kids saying the USD exchange rate had tanked. But I think they had never looked at an exchange rate before because they were reading it backwards.
