So, like... does anyone actually enjoy watching a cartoon character dance? And I'm talking the typical dance party dance. I understand enjoying watching the ballet in Duet, or Esmeralda's festival dance, or sweeping ballroom dances like Sleeping Beauty or B&tB, but I've never quite gotten the fun of watching dancing animations of a character, segregated, doing a dance party dance. I think the divide for me is the former pertain to personality and emotion and the latter is devoid of it. You could swap out any character doing those dance party animations and it wouldn't change jack poo poo.

I didn't mind the original Shrek dance party ending because there was a bunch of gags mixed in with the dancing and it was pretty short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dByBJdbrtBs

They don't seem so much for the audience as for the animation team also if you wanna fill five minutes at the end without having to expend much effort and without having to look like you're just filling time there's worse ways to go than all your characters looping through a little animation while some licensed music plays

I listened to Gilbert Gottfried's episode of I Was There Too where he was talking about working on Aladdin, and he said that Iago was Katzenberg's idea and the original script had Jafar being the wacky crazy one and his parrot being the serious one. You don't hear a lot of stories about Katzenberg's meddling being a change for the better but there you go.A Wizard of Goatse posted:A TV series following the Disney Jungle Book characters would be kind of dull I remember Jungle Cubs being OK, at least by the standards of the endless mediocre "[IP] but they're KIDS LIKE YOU!!!" shows that dominated the 90s.

Was who framed roger rabbit any good Like, I know it is this beloved technological marvel of animation and live action and fitting all of these different characters together, but was it actually any good? I haven't seen it in forever and tbh I know it's lame as hell but I only thought about it again because I had a nightmare the other night involving me having to watch the shoe scene again

I only really remember the ending bits, myself, with the trip into Toontown, the legally-complicated scene with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny skydiving, and a voice that talked JUST! LIKE! THIIIIIIIIIIIS! But that's enough for me, it was still a good film.

Bob Hoskins was the best part of Super Mario Bros because he was like the only one trying, despite being shitfaced drunk almost the entire time.

In addition to being a technical marvel with amazing animation it's also a pretty solid murder mystery with good characters and humor, it's a legitimately great movie.

If you want a real trip, read Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, the novel the movie was adapted from. About all they have in common is some of the characters' names and two lines of dialogue.

It's nice because it plays well in both directions - a kid is going to get a lot from it, and then when they grow up they're going to get even more, so it kind of grows up with you.

Entertainment Weekly has a first-look at Cars 3, and if the thesis of Cars was "people ignore what made Route 66 great," the thesis of Cars 3 might be "Millennials are brats."quote:From an ideological standpoint, [the "villainous"] Jackson embodies the extreme entitlement that has come to plague millennial descriptions. “He thinks the world is his. He’s taking over. He’s owed it,” says Fee. “In a very broad term, I think of old football players with those little leather skull caps, and you think of football players now with all their armor, hitting so hard. It’s not the same game. What they did was not anything like what we do now. And that’s Jackson: He thinks the future of racing and the high-tech ways they train and what they can do means they’re taking the sport to a new level, and the older guys had their day, and it’s done, and they have no place in the future of racing.” The Millennial thing seems to be some editorializing from EW, but you have to think Pixar signed off on it. If this isn't about those gosh darned millennials and their sense of entitlement it feels like this movie's villain is just Lightning from the first movie. Either way this doesn't seem great?

So it's yet another movie with Lassiter preaching about the old days? That's basically every movie he's done, I think he's beat that horse enough.
