DC Murderverse posted:wow, Frozen 2 didn't get an Oscar nomination. I'd imagine Toy Story 4 is probably the frontrunner for this as it's almost certainly the most watched of the five that did get nominated. By that logic, Klaus would have a decent chance since it was on Netflix over the holidays. They wouldn’t even have to leave their homes to take their kids to see it.

I finally got around to seeing Cars 1 & 2. They aren’t bad, but they’re very much just generic kids movie plots with a good visual polish. (Though they don’t just slide off my brain like The Good Dinosaur, which remains their worst movie).

Disney Plus doesn’t have “Donald Duck and the Gorilla” and this is bullshit because I want my son to be irrationally terrified of gorillas like I was.

A good chunk of Christian iconography as we know it today is neither written in the Bible nor a part of the church’s teachings. Most Christians don’t realize they’ve completely mythologized their own religion. I used to teach catechism and I started doing lessons about Christian mythology after one of the chapters in the books provided by the diocese focused on the Seven Deadly Sins...which is not an actual teaching of the church. It did give me a chance to ask the kids to describe what God/the devil/demons/angels looked like, and then reveal they had just described characters from Disney’s Hercules though.

FilthyImp posted:Williams has this weird Escher-like composition sometimes and seeing it in motion can be disorienting. It's like too precise for something not animated in 3D CGI and it fucks with my head. It also doesn’t help that he animated on 1s. It’s like watching The Hobbit at 48fps, your brain is expecting a subtle jitter that isn’t there and it messes with your eyes.

Franchescanado posted:Popular belief is Peg divorced him and he took PJ and she took the daughter. I prefer them not talking about his mom. By Max’s age in the first movie it feels like a conversation that would’ve already happened when he was younger. Plus it allows the movie to focus on their relationship without distractions.

“Did you get my mock up of the cover art for Homeward?” “Mock up?” “Yeah, I wanted to get the poses and layout approved before adding the background.” “We shipped it already.” “You...you what?” “Last week. We needed to move the product ASAP to cover costs. Tom Green needs his $500.”

It’s Coco day at my office tomorrow (we have a theme and allow costumes once per week during tax season to keep us from getting too emotionally drained), and I had completely forgotten about the movie. Which is a shame because I’d count it as one of the better post-Disney Pixar offerings.

Acebuckeye13 posted:The trailer almost makes it feel like the inverse of Coco—where as Coco is all about family, death, and remembrance, this film seems to be seeking a broader question about what makes life worth living. Which could definitely serve as the basis for a solid film, especially combined with the animation. Or the trailer covers act one, and the both of them falling back into the living world results in Tine Fey possessing his body while he goes into another patient in the hospital. This gives her a chance to live, but with all the stuff he had lined up to do she inevitably messes it up, and he is forced to watch from the outside as he loses the things he thought were important, while appreciating the things he was overlooking because he was so single-minded on his goals.

I’m all for a Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe if they just go off the deep end immediately. Like the mid-credits scene of Scoob is setting up the Hair Bear Bunch meet the Funky Phantom and no one has any idea what is going on.

Argue posted:So... did you watch the Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated series? I did not, but a quick pass through IMDB confirms what I assumed you were getting at. I know enough to know the show was really self-aware. I just want audiences today to experience the weird fever dream that was Cartoon Network’s 2:00 am dumping ground pre-Adult Swim.

Hazbin Hotel shows promise in a lot of ways, but it definitely needs some restraint and subtlety. There were a lot of people trying to stifle criticism of the edginess by saying “it’s in hell, they’re supposed to be bad people” but one of the main characters is a porn star named after drugs. I’m not offended by that, I just don’t know what it’s trying to say. There are plenty of decisions that were made just because they could, not because it really meant anything.

They’re pissed because it sets a precedence. If this works for Universal they know they can do it again, even after the pandemic subsides. Kids movies especially are probably huge for theaters because the concession sales are likely bigger for those showings.

IUG posted:I decided to watch my Don Hertzfeldt bluray since I'm working from home and hour breaks are awesome. I looked up what he did after that came out, which was just World Of Tomorrow 2. That came out in 2018, and that seems to be it. He doesn't seem to be on any social media, and his website (Bitter Films) now just goes to a domain squatter page. Does anyone know if he's up to anything now? He’s on Twitter. Per November last year he said there would be a short film coming out this year, but no other details I could see (also not sure if the current state of things is putting that on hold). He also put out a book last year. dirksteadfast fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Mar 31, 2020 |

I don’t know why it took so long for Disney to go back to that era for the remakes after The Jungle Book. I know mileage varies on whether the new Jungle Book was good, but at least it attempted to take the bones of the original and made the rest its own thing. Robin Hood, Aristocats, Sword in the Stone, and 101 Dalmatians are all movies that have bits that are well-remembered but definitely leave a lot of room to build something better with them. (I just realized that list has both a Robin Hood movie and a King Arthur movie. Both kisses of death in Hollywood)

Cockmaster posted:And how about The Black Cauldron? With modern CGI (possibly tapping the talent behind Lord of the Rings), it could look pretty good. I thought about it, but didn’t want to lump Black Cauldron in with those other ones as it was a bit more ambitious.

J-Spot posted:HBO Max has released a trailer for their Looney Tunes revival. It's looking pretty nice. That looks really close in spirit to the original shorts, which has not really been done well with the other revivals. It’s weird that it’d probably look a lot better if they threw on a filter to fade the color, resolution, and audio quality. Some of the background art also is noticeably more modern. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna be bad, but if you’re going to ape the old style it’d make sense to me to unpolish it a little more.

Considering Disney had done a bit of pre-production work on a Chanticleer movie, Rock-a-doodle really does come across as being forced into production before anything had really been finalized and they were forced to fill in the gaps. Also how is it Bluth came out of the gate with such a strong female character in Mrs. Brisby and then dropped the ball with practically every other woman/girl? I know he might not be directly responsible for all of them but goddamn is it jarring.

My two-year-old son has discovered Zootopia and it absolutely holds up. The biggest problem is the inner logic of the movie is consistent, but because a handful of lines and jokes were set up as parallels to human society there’s a slight disconnect as your brain tries to push it as a one-to-one with human prejudice and it just isn’t at all.
