Wouldn't this mean that the 2019 Lion King is the real one which got unfairly replaced by the original animated one?

As far as I'm aware, every actor from the series has returned to reprise their roles in this movie. It has been 20 years though so it's possible a few of them might just be out of practice.

Philburt sounded pretty off there but Rocko was fine. The rest of the characters didn't have enough lines to really judge.

It has been 20 years though so it's possible a few of them might just be out of practice. Or 20 years older. That said though Nickelodeon voice actors probably have been in the same job and probably in some cases the same characters for those whole 20 years and then some. Interesting that it looks like the Bigheads haven't changed much except they might actually have adjusted better, if only because Ed's burnt-out cynicism means he gets along so much better with his son.

We're back! A Dinosaur's Story is a dinosaur movie where none of the dinosaurs eat anyone. The Ravens do (eat people) because they do not need to be friends with humans.

By far the best part of "we're back" is that the villain actually has a really good backstory but they cut it out and didn't ever fully animate it so in the actual movie there is kinda just no real explanation for anything and he just has some crows for no reason and then they just eat him suddenly for no reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzHlm9Wr3A

and We're Back is just 'You're a bad person if you like spooky things' not even the performers of the circus save for the really unfunny clown who somehow missed the memo of what type of circus it is, but it's treated like anyone who likes horror and spooky stuff is bad. And also who the hell asks for a thanksgiving hat?

Screweyes: Runs a horror show for people who like scary things. Tells the main characters to scram so he can continue to entertain people who appreciate weird creepy stuff without being judged for it. Gets judged anyway and is declared the villain. Neweyes: Reads children’s minds without their knowledge as they sleep. Poaches wild animals from their natural environment and time. Feeds animals a sketchy dietary supplement of his own invention that makes them not only tame but harmless. Sends the animals to the future to be airdropped into the Hudson River so they can find their way to a museum where they’ll spend their lives in a room inside a building inside a city for the amusement of children. Does not at any point feel it necessary to explain cities, children (or humans in general), time travel, why they aren’t going to meet other nonavian dinosaurs to the animals, despite the fact that they can understand English. Is the hero. Because he says so.

I watched that movie as a kid because I loved the book it's based on so much, and I absolutely hated it. It really ticked little kid me off, the movie having so little to do with the book.

Sleeveless posted:The most unrealistic episode of Batman Beyond was the Egg Baby one because the sitcom cliche of having to carry around a sack of flower or a doll for a project in high school was already an entire generation in the ground by the time it aired. I've seen kids do it at the school I teach at this year. Charlz Guybon fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Jul 30, 2019 |

doomrider7 posted:What was changed? It's been a very, very long time since I've read or seen either, but as I recall the entirety of the book is an alien dinosaur gives the group of dinosaurs smart pills, warps them to the present, the dinosaurs make a mess in a parade, then reach the museum where they meet the curator lady and get jobs posing in exhibits. The End. Anything else involving a circus, an evil crow man, kids, or whatever else is in that movie is new. I mean to be fair, it's a picture book, so it's not like the filmmakers had 80 minutes of material to work with. And now that I do a brief GIS I notice that the character designs in the movie are really ugly in comparison. Maybe it's nostalgia talking.

A lot of kids movies from the 80s and 90s based on short books get really, really weird like that. Actually modern ones too. I suppose otherwise they'd be really, really short. I remember a The Little Engine That Could animated movie I loved as a kid and rewatching it on YouTube I'm surprised to see it's 30 minutes long and finishing it it's like 'Huh, that's really all there was to it'. I suppose it's not a big problem given it's beautifully animated and presented.

that's the one with Kath Soucie voicing the little engine? I had that on VHS as a kid, I watched that so many times. Not only is the animation amazing the music is top notch as well, and the song is catchy. Even though it's only like 25-30 minutes long I always liked how it didn't feel too short or like it dragged along, it was so tightly scripted that it felt just as long as it needed to be

Yeah all the underwater stuff essentially replaced a similar sequence in the book where they’re dealing with a group of cloud people instead. I think the change works.

Did they have Roald Dahl advising on that? Funny thing, he apparently wrote You Only Live Twice.

An unfortunate thing about the screenplay for You Only Live Twice is that the producers didn't allow him much freedom to write. It had to follow a formula. I wonder what he would have done otherwise.

Bond movies have never been bastions of cultural sensitivity but still, I have to wonder whose idea it was for Bond to disguise himself as a Japanese man.

Alhazred posted:Ian Fleming. yeah Fleming is... really dire. I actually read Casino Royale as at the time there was no legit adaptation (loose as they tend to be - there was only that "comedy" trainwreck) of it, and lord. There was a line in it about how homosexuals can't whistle (????).

Bond has always been basically middle class white guy wish fulfilment, with all the misogynistic, reactionary and generally bigoted overtones that implies. (And while I say white guy, the Bond formula has been translated to different cultures and is otherwise intact)
