It would be a fictional character with the same name. Semi-related this is also literally something that would have just been a Disney Channel Original Movie or even series, but I guess just constantly making hand-over-fist with their live action remakes is giving them dollar signs in their eyes.

Imagine if Disney's CG animation division goes the way of their traditional animation because Disney just make everything live action.

Speaking of CGI remakes: The BBC just released a trailer for their take on Watership Down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3gQ117IKkM What do you make of that? The part with the fascist rabbits seems like it has potential, but the animation looks pretty cut-rate.

It'll probably be something more like Malefocent, so it might at least be somewhat funny to deconstruct the film as pure propaganda from a merely more liberalized but just as tyrannical old white lady. Maybe her first foray into incredibly exploitative schemes will in fact be operating a night club.

Daphne & Velma already did a running gag where Velma needs to keep killing her A.I. children for parts, so I think it could work that every ten minutes or say cruella just snaps a puppy's neck and tosses it in a bin. Also, we need a Blondie-esque punk cover of the Ogden Edsl song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4S7gMiImKc

It will be a prequel to the Glenn Close movie from 1996.

Yeah I guess they already did the live-action remake so they had to figure out some other weird spin on it. Although Cruella De Vil does sound like a pretty good punk band/singer name.

The_Doctor posted:Sorry, what? In Daphne & Velma, Daphne & Velma from scooby-doo are in a high achievers school who are investigating a mystery in which the top students keep disappearing and then turning up as dumbed down shells of themselves. At one point they discover a locker which is actually a secret passage to where the students are brainwashed, but it's locked so they have to make a temporary incendiary device to melt the lock. Velma has these little, tiny, WALL-E-style robots, which she can apparently repurpose for parts, but not without destroying them. And because they keep getting caught in the act of breaking into the locker, they have to keep doing it over again. In the final gag, Velma's little robot just begs for its life, and Velma covers her eyes preparing to smash it to death with a ball-peen hammer.

Although I do like her background in the book that she was apparently expelled from school for drinking ink.

The grinch was weak, powerful weak. He was about one second away from crying and cancelling his attempt to steal christmas. He in my opinion should have been one of santas slaves and crawled thru the core of the earth in order to escape, emerging on the other side with a hatred for the bugs who liked christmas. Whos look like fuckin bugs and this almost never gets translated. Cindy lou who is a bug with a squigle E: specifically also tho id hate that guy for cutting doen the 300 foot tree also, and the film did not need seven plots and three scenes of the grinch drinking coffee or eating waffles FunkyAl fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Dec 5, 2018 |

I know Chuck Jones chat was last page, but it needs to be said that when I think of Chuck Jones I either think of Looney Tunes or I think of a freckled child with bedroom eyes peering over something. Every child he animated was exactly the same. (Not making GBS threads on him, it just has bothered me for so long)

Whos look like fuckin bugs and this almost never gets translated. Cindy lou who is a bug with a squigle I really liked the new movie. It wasn't as good as the Boris Karloff movie, but it was inoffensive to the palette and wasn't ugly. It gave him some legit pathos that didn't really make him or the who as the bad guys. In a way I think they pull the redemption bit a little too fast and hard. The ending though hits the theme of why he hated christmas. Since he was forced to spend it alone as an unloved orphan it really shaded his views towards it, but with the family taking him in, showing him caring, I think that does more as a redemption ending that the whole "But the who's found they didn't need christmas trinkets, and just started singing". Its less ugly than the Live Action film, where there were almost no likable characters in the film

It didn't really need it though, as it was a short book, it didn't go into the background of the character, thus it left the Whos pretty innocent as characters. "Oh well we don't have toys and crap? Well let's go out and have some merriment anyways!" The Grinch didn't need a movie, but adding the background to the Grinch gave him a bit more character, while it didn't really make the Whos out to be bad characters needing to learn a lesson, still this movie was entirely unnecessary, but out of the Dr. Seuss movies made so far, this is probably the best one made.

and the BBC is pretty notorious for having not a great budget, even their flagship shows have pretty poor CGI for stuff that isn't gonna be reused over and over. They've been getting better about alotting those shows a half-way decent SFX budget, but yeah.

Yeah, they're probably somewhat deliberately "unreal" so they can keep all the insane violence without potentially making it adults-only. e: yeah, a quick look at the cast tells me that at some point they're doing the El-ahrairah and the Black Rabbit of Inlé story, which tells me this is gonna definitely be a "dark poo poo included" adaptation.
