I know what day it is, but lesbian Simba would be better since it wouldn't require them removing essentially the only girl in the movie. (Sarabi has what, four lines?)

I have real mixed thoughts about this for this very reason. While a greater inclusion of non-hetero characters is certainly good, all things being equal, I have the suspicion that Disney made this without giving greater thought to how it effects the work as a whole or what message it sends. In this case, making Simba gay would seem to come at the expense of Nala's already small purpose in the storyline, suggesting some sort of intrinsic net minority count. This is all assuming the new movie sticks as closely to the old as the live action BatB stuck to the animated original.

Land Before Time I understand. Kids like dinosaurs, it's a universal constant. You have any idea how badly you have to gently caress up a dinosaur movie for kids not to like it? It can probably be done, but I don't know how.

it's me, I'm the one who liked Dinosaur. I begged my parents to take me to it and I begged my university aged cousin to take me a couple weeks later. It was me who chose it as my rental for the week when it came to Blockbuster. Why no I have not seen it since then and I'm gonna be honest, I don't want to. I want my pleasant memories of it to remain pleasant

The R&M creators have called the interdimensional cable episodes their "Treehouse of Horror" multiple times and have talked about doing it every year. That can always change, but it seems like they plan on it.

That can always change, but it seems like they plan on it. Their seasons are kind of shorter than The Simpsons seasons, though. There's about 21 non-TOH episodes for every TOH episode, while there's about 10 non-IC episodes for every IC episode.

Man, I remember when the first trailer for that came out, and it heavily implied there were going to be no voices, just a natural story told through the creatures' actions. Ah well.

This was a very bland movie. It was aggressively mediocre. The cowboy T-Rex family was the absolute highlight of the movie. I wish the rest had had even some of that heart and imagination.

A cowboy movie with dinosaurs being probably the best of them. Instead they tried to do a road movie (and I love those kind of movies) and half-assed all of them. The dinosaurs not really matching the environments design wise didn't bother me, but the above thing drove me nuts.

I kind of wish they'd actually done something with the "hypothetical alternate prehistory" premise instead of just using it as an excuse to have dinosaurs and cavemen coexisting without hot takes about how they're creationists. Like, I'm picturing a scene towards the climax of the movie where the characters are looking up in the sky and one of them gets a weird look in their eye, like a faint impression that they could easily never have existed, and maybe say something to that effect, such that most of the audience doesn't get it but some of them do. Like, they talk about how if things had gone even a little bit differently, they wouldn't be there, or something.

Oh yeah the whole "what if the asteroid never killed the dinosaurs?" thing was pointless because you could've left that out and no one would've questioned a caveman existing at the same time. Or mammals also existing. Like it makes that detail seem way more important than it was.

i think they just came up with the visual / gag of a bunch of dinosaurs watching the asteroid zoom past and then built a justification around it

Ice Age somehow went backwards in time from early humans to dinosaurs to the formation of the solar system and no one minded except for me.

Waffleman_ posted:Like I know birds are basically dinosaurs, but I thought that was a weird evolution thing. That's mostly unrelated. Dinosaurs genuinely have several differences from reptiles. I joked about ankles, but what's actually the most visible difference is that dinosaurs have legs beneath their bodies (which you see with mammals, such as cows, dogs, etc) while reptiles have legs besides their bodies (see: turtles, crocodiles, lizards, all non-snake reptiles).
