The DuckTales ep iirc has different VAs, but they got a Mexican actor for Panchito and a Brazillian one for Jose. (the show's made an effort to cast accurately for character nationalities and for the most part avoid dodgy accents. Magica de Spell and Flintheart Glomgold aside)

Dunno about Jose but Panchito is voiced by a Spanish actor in Ducktales, odd since Jaime Camil, who voiced him in Legends is Don Karnage in Ducktales.


Anyways, I just got back from watching Ralph breaks the Internet and meh. The film is all about Vanellope with Ralph being more or less a prop for the story to use when needs it. This on its own wouldn't be a bad thing but Vanellope lacks a proper character arc, remaining the same character through the entire film. Ralph does get some development but it feels at odds with his characterization in the first film and worse, it completely throws the rules established in the first film out of the window.

The core conflict of the film is Vanellope going Turbo because she likes Slaughter Race more than Sugar Rush and while the previous film was all about showing Ralph why that was a bad thing and how it affects all the character in your original game, Vanellope is not only encouraged to ditch Sugar Rush completely to pursue her dreams but the plot conveniently hand waves any of the possible side effects her going missing from Sugar Rush could entail.

That said, the film has some good gags here and there and as long you forget pretty much everything about Wreck It Ralph is a decent movie to spend an afternoon.

Edit: There's one episode where MacGyver meets an old girlfriend and learns she's married a man who hits her; you would think the episode would be about him helping her to stand up to him, but then he gets murdered and it turns out she's planning to steal his company or something like that; MacGyver confronts her and she's like, "Even when we were together, you never loved me as much as I loved you; you cared more about gun control and the environment than you did about me!" and his approximate reaction is, "Yeah, that's true. Sorry. :shrug:"

It's funny because he then went and started in Stargate SG-1 and shot guns all the time. His character in the original movie is disturbed because his kid died playing with his gun, and there was a bunch of stuff about how guns aren't toys.

The Aladdin cartoon is a cornerstone of the "Aladdin takes place in the future" theory.

You see the Genie makes pop culture references and turns into tanks and stuff, PLUS there's that steampunk guy that has mechs and robots. Clearly the franchise takes place after all the bombs have dropped and the world is a nuclear hell.

I know it's a silly theory for fun but this immediately falls apart once you remember that they fly to Giza during A Whole New World while the Sphinx is being finished and also fly through Hellenistic Greece.

Huh. It wasn't bad or anything as far as I remember. Just lazy. Pocahontas II is supposed to be pretty awful, and probably where the lovely sequels got started. Then there's the sequels that are just three episodes of one of their shows stitched together. That's kind of lovely, but far from uncommon in the 90s.

Pocahontas II has an establishing shot of a seedy London pub, where a patron is distraught over the relative lack of bubbles in his ale, and he loudly asks where he can get some good head

Nope. For some reason, I can't find anyone else on the internet who has pointed this out.

edit: I just spent way too long looking for it on Netflix, and he says "least you could do is put a head on it! How much do I have to pay to get good beer here?" which is crazy, because i'm CERTAIN he used to say "head" and it never would have stood out otherwise

Probably the same reason people swear Aladdin says "good teenagers take off your clothes"

But also Disney has edited their movies to remove lines like "where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face it's barbaric but hey it's home"

No. Daniel stayed behind on the planet, and O'Neil went home. The show established that O'Neil told the Air Force that Daniel had died there, and they called his bluff with another bomb.

What always irked me, and still does, is that the final sequence implies that the crew of the Cygnus also goes to Hell with Maximillian and Dr. Reinhardt. What did they do to deserve such a fate considering that they were basically murdered by Reinhardt? Is it because they attempted mutiny against Reinhardt?

Disney and Fox is getting sued by Malaysia's Genting Corporation, a huge casino and hotel company. Fox is building a theme park in Malaysia at Genting's mountaintop resort, as you can see in the picture it is well under way, but apparently Disney wants to pull out after acquiring Fox since it does not want properties it owns to be associated with a casino.

Reviews for Robin Hood have been terrible, but what really grates me is the director. From directing a few TV episodes, admittedly winning awards in that area, he suddenly gets a $100 million blockbuster dropped on him. This sort of poo poo happens only to white male directors.

While true and a legit grievance, no one's likely to remember that movie or him a month from now.

Hell, I didn't even know the guy's name until I looked it up on IMDB just now. That Black Mirror episode he did was fairly memorable but it's not like I knew who directed it by name or anything.

Robin Hood definitely should have teamed up with Zorro, what if Mexico invaded England during the Crusades and only Zorro and Robin Hood could stop the evil Mexican dictator Santa Anna? Box office gold, that's what would have happened!

The issue is none of these are actually Robin Hood movies. They keep trying to start out with some "the secret truth of Robin Hood/our crazy take on Robin Hood with a twist" bullshit. Just start by making a loving Robin Hood movie. If you make a good one maybe people will give a poo poo and you can do a sequel.
