I want live action Mulan just to see how they change it to pander to the modern Chinese government and film industry.Gluten Freeman posted:i loved that movie as a kid. do you know, i don't think i ever saw the animated version? It's a pretty good tech demo for Xerox if nothing else.

Conversely, I expect at least 50% of the cast to be CG animals voiced by white actors to pander to American audiences. But at least we'll (probably) get to see the first Asian actress to star in a mainstream Hollywood film in more than 20 years.

It would be pretty funny if there were a random tirade in the middle where Mulan talks about how horrible it would be if the Chinese government were to censor it's people and text books and internet hundreds of years in the future.

That's too obvious, the real strategy is to release an animated version of Kundun just before they premiere live action Mulan in China.

Take all of the Disney films that have live action & animated segments, and reverse them. So the Three Caballero would have a live duck probably trying to beat the poo poo out of a rooster and a parrot. Animated women singing to regular ducks. How much of a mess would Fantasia be? ... Song of the South?

Hemingway To Go! posted:Modern cgi and audience expectations I think you might be underestimating just how many girls from the 90's loved Mulan. I know I did, and I have a lot of friends who are pretty passionate about the movie as well. It's not a perfect, but it's much more fondly remembered than Pocahontas and Hunchback (but not Aladdin, I'll give you that). A live action remake has a lot of potential, and I hope they handle it well.

Now Pocahontas - that would be a bad idea, given it was suppose to be the A movie, but got way outshone by the "B" movie The Lion King and had a loooot of issues, including the hamfisted Romeo and Juilet plotline.

Or a perfect daughter. Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart. Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show who I am inside?♪ [Turns to face the camera] Mulan: The South China Sea belongs to China.

That's pretty interesting, especially since there're at least two live action films that get the ending completely wrong. There's an old silent movie that at least gets most things right, like Esmeralda's origin, and that Quasi actually fights Esmeralda's friends at he end, not the soldiers. I also own a children's book version of the book that includes all the details complete with hilariously dark illustrations. Renoistic fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Though I'm disappointed that they briefly used "Call Me a Princess" but then cut it from the final songlist. They even made the song make sense, too - Jasmine putting on a show of being a spoiled brat to drive away suitors - which I thought was really clever of them. Ah, well...

loving hell, The Secret Life of Pets is about to overtake Despicable Me 2's box office and become the 7th biggest animated film (domestic) of all time. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=animation.htm It just overtook Deadpool and The Jungle Book to become the 3rd biggest film of 2016 so far.

It almost completely passed under my radar, I'm just surprised that it's been such a massive runaway hit. It's going to do better than the Minions films and there was no escaping the Minions but I've seen pretty much nothing on SLoP. Edit: he he he, 'SLoP'.

"Hey, man, you see that Disney film that came out this year? The one featuring talking animals, which became their second-best-grossing film domestically only to Frozen!" "Ah! You're talking about The Secret Life of Pets, right? Love that film!" "N... no, this one had Jenny Slate in it, and-" "Yeah, exactly! She was in Secret Life!" I have more faith in the adults you've discussed Disney with than this, mind

IIRC it was also the worse game between the two, though truthfully I didn't really get into FPS games until the GBA was already dead and buried, so I couldn't say how either holds up anymore.

That reminds me of Wheelman with Vin Diesel, another game where the movie never happened. That game was probably made during a time where he didn't think he would be in a Fast & Furious movie again.
