BonoMan posted:Holy poo poo get The Good Dinosaur off that list. That movie rocks and gets better with each viewing. I know it went through production hell, but after having watched it 45 times during the pandemic (my 1 year old is mesmerized by TGD and Moana) it's super solid. I mean, I watched it once and thought it was...fine, but mostly boring and forgettable. Is it really worth watching again? I don't remember anything worth revisiting from it.

That was my initial viewing experience as well. But the more I watch it and it feels like such a departure from tone/pace of most Disney or Pixar films. And the more I watch it the more I embrace it. The pacing feels very reflective of the environment it takes place in. It's just a nice quiet movie with a great little story/message and fabulous score and scenery!

As someone mentioned in the comments, it's likely just stacked to show black representation. Although that's pretty drat disingenuous if for most of the movie he's represented as a blue glowing blob.

thrawn527 posted:I really want to be excited for this, but Pixar's output has been pretty poo poo for a while now. Like, in the last decade, they've had Coco, Brave, Toy Story 3 (technically over a decade ago, but only by like 2 weeks), and a bunch of poo poo. (Inside Out was okay.) Toy Story 4 was aggressively bad, and Onward was just mediocre in a way Disney movies used to be, before Pixar came along and broke the mold. Now...meh. Like, Cars 2, Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Cars 3, and the aforementioned Toy Story 4 and Onward. What the hell happened? Admittedly, I did not see Incredibles 2, because I heard it wasn't great, and I couldn't do that to myself. Wait what was wrong with Coco?

But Moana wasn't Pixar, it was Disney proper. I was talking about Pixar. Moana is my favorite Disney proper animated movie ever. Coco is great. It was one of the 3 Pixar successes of the past decade I was citing. Clearly my post was unclear. Sorry about that.

Oh my bad, it appears that I don't actually know the difference between Pixar and Disney proper (I figured Coco was produced by Disney as well). All that being said, I think that Soul looks like it was produced with more of a 'Coco' sensibility than a 'Cars 2' one.

Coco was produced by Disney as well. Basically, all Pixar movies are also produced by Disney, but not all animated Disney movies are done by Pixar. Pixar made/Disney produced examples Coco Brave Toy Story 1/2/3/4 Cars 1/2/3 Finding Nemo 1/2 Inside Out Onward Brave etc. Disney made examples Moana Frozen 1/2 Wreck It Ralph 1/2 Big Hero 6 Zootopia Bolt etc. There's even a (very funny) joke about this in the Wreck It Ralph sequel where none of the Disney Princesses can understand Merida (the princess from Brave) due to her thick Scottish accent, and someone says it's because, "She's from the other studio." Fine line, but different studios actually making the movies. It's said they have a "hard line" between the companies, even if Disney owns Pixar, and neither "company" can "bail out" the either by borrowing personnel. Pixar traditionally had a much better track record, but my original point was that over the last decade, I feel like Pixar has only really had 3 home runs, Coco, Brave, and Toy Story 3. I hope Soul is a return to form. But I have my doubts. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Jun 30, 2020 |

Moana is legit the best animated Disney (proper) movie ever. It's so good. As I mentioned earlier, I've seen it and The Good Dinosaur about twice a day every day for the past 4 months. My daughter was big into Moana a few years ago as well so I got about another 40 viewings there. So I've seen it probably, literally, almost 100 times and have never gotten tired of it even a bit. The songs are great, the characters are powerful and the resolution with the "villain" is fantastic. It's a nearly perfect film and I hate how it just doesn't get the love that the Frozen's etc get. edit: It's also so pretty in places it hurts

Have they ever talked about any supplementary Moana content on Disney+? I get that Frozen is a license to print money but I'd love to see a series or even a meta Lego offshoot like Lego Frozen: Northern Lights.

It really does feel like that entire movie was made with that scene being written first, and then written out from there just to justify it. It's a great scene, but pointless otherwise.

Thaddius the Large posted:Hot take, I liked Princess and the Frog WAY more than Moana Not necessarily a hot take, they're both great films. A lot of it comes down to if you prefer 2D vs. 3D animation, and what style of music you prefer. But there's no losers in which movie you like better. They're both much better than the older traditional animated Disney movies. Personally, I like Moana not even bringing a romantic subplot up even once, which is refreshing as hell for a Disney movie, and the message of how Moana "defeats" the movie's "villain", as where Princess and the Frog has a bit more of a traditional arc, romantic lead, and villain, even if she absolutely has more agency and leads the story more than those traditional movies. But Princess and the Frog also came first, and you wouldn't have Moana without Tiana. Also, the music in Princess and the Frog slaps. My 4 year old daughter loves both. Her favorite Princess to meet at Disney World by far is Tiana (there isn't anywhere to meet Moana that I'm aware of yet, though there's a Moana area being built soon at Epcot.)

I wish Moana had a proper villain. And the part with the Kakamora is unnecessary and seems to be in the film just because there hadn't been an action set piece for a while so they added coconut pirates. But yes, it's a great movie. Inside Out has been my favorite Pixar movie from the last several years.

The romance point is a great one though! kiimo posted:I was unaware that people hate Toy Story 4 which I enjoyed. This is insane to me, as much as I understand why people would be tired of the franchise, and I do think it's run its course, I also would've said that after the third one. TS3 was a great capstone to the original stories, but the TS4 came along and showed how Woody could grow and reinvent himself (like, AGAIN) and have it be a touching, lovely journey. Plus, to relate it back to thrawn527's note on the resolution to the plot in Moana, the villain wins and it's a good thing! It's actually super sweet and touching! TS4 floored me that they could keep coming back to the same well and have it continue to be wonderful to both me and my daughter, I absolutely hold it in the same regard as its predecessors.

BlueBayou posted:I wish Moana had a proper villain. And the part with the Kakamora is unnecessary and seems to be in the film just because there hadn't been an action set piece for a while so they added coconut pirates. The Kakamora are there to basically serve as a consequence to Moana's initial hubris. When she first presents the heart of Te Fiti to Maui he's trying to caution her against waving it around. So far, she's under the assumption she's in control and her journey will be way easier than it is. She keeps, literally, yelling about having the heart and Maui is trying to get her to quiet down. Then the Kakamora show up and he says, sarcastically, "I wonder what they're here for?" Also it's a great sequence that was directly inspired by Mad Max according to the directors. I like the villain because Moana is, obviously, inspired by Polynesian island colonization (moreso it is a fictional explanation of the end of "The Great Pause" - a real event where there was a significant, 2000 year, pause of island hopping) and a lot of that culture is of course about the relationship to nature. So it seems to fit right in.

TS2 > TS3 > TS > TS4 I’ve only seen TS4 once, but I remember thinking it had a real “direct-to-video” vibe to it. Also, even though Cars 2 is one of only three Pixar movies I haven’t seen (Good Dinosaur and Onward being the other two), I feel confident in saying Cars 3 is easily the best of that bunch and one of Pixar’s better movies of the 10’s. Seriously, don’t sleep on Cars 3.

TS3 completed the arc of the whole series, IMO, and TS4 felt like an epilogue that was well-done, but unnecessary. I enjoyed TS4 but the story ended after the 3rd.
