I watched A Silent Voice. It's sweet and sad and very anime. Also that kid from Steven Universe has a guest role.

The dancing ghost is at least just a rotoscope of Cab Calloway in the original cartoon ("Snow White"), but the rest... Pure indulgence on the part of an animator getting six months to do basically a complete vanity project?

The live action Beauty and the Beast film is still raking in cash and is just a tad over $1.2 billion worldwide and a tad short of $500 million domestic. That makes it the 8th biggest domestic film of all time and the 11th biggest film worldwide (unadjusted).

God I hope the Emoji movie makes over $1 billion. I need it. Desire made flesh. :hellraiser:

Disney halts everything but Direct to DVD animated films and live-acts their entire backcatalog of animation - Dumbo starring a de-aged John Goodman and the crows are Will i. Am, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ice Cube and Joe Rogan. Pixar gets in on the live-action craze and starts a new studio to bring the Cars' Universe to life. 15 years of no new theater animation.

Dreamworks is the only big budget animation studio during this time, thanks to their continued success of the animated Fast & Furious crossover with the Minions - now a trilogy.

You'll get live action adaptations/reboots/re-imaginings/sequels of every classic Disney movie from here until the end of your life, you better get used to it. Even if the next 10 bomb horribly they've been covered bu BatB so they'll just keep pumping them out until they get another hit. And when they've completely mined their entire back catalogue they'll just start over again.

So yeah, Resciers was... okay, I guess? Competent enough, but it felt like there was a certain je ne sais quoi about it that put me off. Things like that close-up shot on the Rescue Aid Society's founder, as if that was a gag I was supposed to be laughing at that fell totally flat, or Bernard's running "oh no, 13?" beat that had absolutely no payoff. Also would've liked a more concrete fate for Medusa/Snoops; though I can at least surmise that Snoops got away (if in tattered clothing), Medusa's fate hanging on that tree was somewhat ambiguous.

I've gathered that Down Under is very different tonally, and that your mileage may vary whether it's better or worse than the first film for it. Kind of anticipating I'll fall into the "better" camp, but I'll have to watch it to find out...

More of a reference than a gag, I guess ...

quote:

Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have profoundly influenced drama down to modern times, especially in the representation of traditional, mythical heroes as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

The tapestry showing him bandaging a lion's paw is of course a reference to Aesop's fable about the mouse and the lion.

So yeah: count me in the "Down Under is Much Better" camp. Paced much better, not really any scenes that go nowhere (forgot to mention that pointless scene at the zoo in the first film, that could've been cut without losing anything from the plot), significantly better animation (though that's just natural for the passage of time).

Can't help but think it needed a bit more denouement - get Cody back together with his mourning mother, for instance, or go back and save all those trapped animals at McLeach's hideout - but not too many gripes with this one, nope.

I assume you're referring to the kiss scene from Maleficent where they make a token effort to make it less skeevy by having Prince Charming at least meet her beforehand and then go "Whoa that's kind of hosed up, I don't think I will" when told to kiss an unconscious girl but then had him do it anyway due to peer pressure :psyduck:

IIRC, The Rescuers was originally supposed to exist in a shared universe with 101 Dalmatians, with the villain literally being Cruella DeVille, but they nixed it because they weren't sure if the public would really get the "shared universe" concept.

Actually, I think it's the scene where Maleficent's wings are cut off and she wakes up and screams about her wings being gone. Then everyone who worked on the movie admitted that was supposed to represent her being raped as she loved and trusted the person who removed her wings without consent.

...That was such an awkward scene in that movie...

It was also supposed to get a TV series but when the second film was announced they morphed it into Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers instead, bringing in the chipmunk characters and giving them clothing. Chip's clothes were clearly modelled on Indiana Jones and Dale got a Hawaiin shirt as a nod to Magnum PI.

And this is super depressing. We need Unmature to make a video essay on the animation ghetto and why live-action remakes are consistently terrible yet make billions simply living off the name of an animated movie that never got nearly as much money or respect from the public simply because it's animated.
