It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges
(wrt Storks and Smallfoot talk) part of it is that Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks are semi-separate. Most SPA films (the exceptions being films that they didn't actually produce, just released under the label) are animated by SPI, but SPI does stuff for other companies too: SPI was actually founded back in '92 to make CGI special effects (which it continues to do to this day, both for sony and non-sony films). The films animated by SPI that aren't produced by SPA are Aardman's Arthur Christmas (though it is one of the films that SPA didn't produce that they released under the label), the aforementioned Storks and Smallfoot, and the Angry Birds movie

The voltron wolves were the best parts of that movie.

Man I don't agree at all. I'll defend Storks to the death. It's not gonna win any awards, but I thought the movie was really funny and the ending where all the babies get delivered is very sweet. I also enjoy the overall art style of the movie :shrug:

Also this joke murdered me:

Lilo and Stitch? Really? I would expect they'd do something more clasically Disney first. Surely they haven't run out of properties yet?

I could see it I think Moana did really good for them and why try to create something new with diverse characters when you can just pillage something you already created? Be prepared for live action princess and the frog next.

Lilo & Stitch is one of four Disney animated movies I've seen in the cinema (the others were Lion King, Treasure Planet and Atlantis). I remember not enjoying it very much but I subsequently watched and generally liked a lot of the spin-off television series.

Does anyone remember that show crossing over with both Kim Possible and Recess but none of them changed their art styles? That was pretty odd. I think the latter might be the last Recess thing ever produced. Recess was my second favourite of that era of Disney toons after Fillmore!, which was great.

They also crossed over with Proud Family. There were rumors they planned on a Gargoyles reunion via Lilo and Stich crossover but it fell through

It's not quite the same, but people thought the idea of a feature-length animated film was unbelievably stupid, would never find an audience, and called Snow White "Disney's folly."

I'm just so accustomed to the standard complaint being that Disney sanitised all these stories by turning them into cartoon movies in the first place that the basic fact of said movies being remade becoming the chief point of objection is a bit funny to me.

this is inaccurate. Stitch, himself, is popular in Japan. Lilo is probably the single most hated Disney character over there, though. this is why both the Japanese and Chinese adaptations of L&S go out of their way to shuffle Lilo and her family off the stage as fast and as hard as they can.

I've never actually seen a great reason explicated, but the best shot in the dark I've heard is that Lilo is basically everything that Japanese and Chinese kids are supposed to actively not be. we look at her and see a normal, cute kid; folks over there look at her and see a complete disrespectful brat who gets actively rewarded by the movie for it.

I wouldn't say we look at Lilo and see a normal kid-she's kinda troubled(probably largely due to her living situation), acts out in weird ways, etc. Normal kids don't nail shut the door to their house so their sister can't get in and make makeshift voodoo dolls of their "friends" to stick in a pickle jar and rattle around. She's a likable underdog though.

Japan definitely has stronger social norms about outsiders though. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down, or whatever.

eh, maybe i just grew up with weird kids, but all that stuff frankly makes Lilo come off as a lot more relatable and "real" than most kid protagonists. like, she comes off more like an actual kid her age than some kind of perfect kid-simulacrum.

When they do these remakes I just repeat "The original will still exist" to myself. And most people will probably forget about these remakes in a few years, they're not timeless like the animated versions.

I still haven't seen any of the live action remakes. Not a bragging point, I just have absolutely zero interest. The animation is the selling point of all the original adaptations. I didn't love Sleeping Beauty for its story, you dinguses!

Well they certainly did not retread Sleeping Beauty's story, because the live action version is all about Aurora and Maleficient Alliance of rear end-Kicking.

The new ones still have really nice VFX and CG animation but something about VFX house animation isn't quite as charming as Disney Feature CG work.

I can see that. It's kind of like how Chihiro from Spirited Away (who, coincidentally enough, was voiced by the same girl who voiced Lilo in the English dub of the movie) is described as "selfish", even though she doesn't come off as selfish AT ALL to American audiences. The worst things she does in the film are A) talk about how sad she is about having to move to a new town and leave all of her friends behind and B) get freaked out about a super suspicious amusement park and want to leave quickly (oh, and it turns out this fear is totally justified since that amusement park is 100% haunted and her dumbass parents get turned into pigs). Openly expressing strong negative emotions (even when those emotions are appropriate to the situation) is seen as a sign of selfishness and immaturity in Japan, and Lilo (who's parents just died) expresses many strong negative emotions (even though she's also shown to be very sweet and cares a lot about her family and the people around her).

I always saw this as a weird complaint, because they really only remove any sexual references or extreme violence, which is usually unnecessary anyway. There’s always some dark poo poo still in Disney films, sometimes even darker than the source material (the Queen of Hearts never actually beheads anyone in the book, she just yells and they pretend like they do but she never notices. In the movie they never explain that away, she straight up kills multiple “people”)
