The beta tracks sound like a fun romp, the final tracks sound like a sick clown longing for the sweet embrace of death... The beta track is too upbeat for getting stuck with that barrel at. The final version feels like a descent into madness which mirrors the players frustration as they don't know how to get past the barrel.

I like the structure of the release tracks, where the first act is the traditional bombastic Sonic track, then the second act pitches it down a bit, like it's ready to get down to business. The beta tracks lack that, they just don't work the same as a pairing. I'm getting the game on PC so I'm not that worried either way, if the originals aren't in there then someone will get to work modding them in within an hour of release (or vice versa for the beta tracks). Hell, if the game is broadly built off of the Mania framework then they can probably finish modding the tracks in within the hour.

Really bold of that movie to throw shade at bad cgi when they couldn’t even use traditional animation for the cartoons drawn that way, and had to use 3D models with crappy cel-shading instead. I have seen YouTube channels using blender to “fake” cel animation to greater effect.

Also I dunno. I didn’t make the movie. The cynical part of me says probably because there’s more nostalgia mining out of Rescue Rangers than Roger Rabbit. I’ll post some impressions after I watch the movie in a few hours, but it looks like it’s a meta story about the nature of nostalgia. I haven’t read any reviews yet.

I guess one of the companies just had the assets on hand and were like, "Yeah, we can depreciate the wasted cost we threw away on the first version of the movie a little move if we throw him in this script."

I think actual kids like episodic cartoons and teens and strange adults like myself tend to like stuff with continuity. It’s why stuff like Teen Titans Go and Big City Greens are so big and stuff like Owl House only gets two seasons or so

the rescue rangers film is not a rescue rangers story, its about the "cartoon actors" from the 90s rescue rangers tv show coping with life as former c-list celebrities. this brings them into contact with another c-list cartoon celeb, ugly sonic

Looking at the cast list she's the only Avenger who didn't appear in a later Avengers cartoon, so she's there with other washed up characters. It is a weirdly specific pull.

The movie was pretty good. It was more or less a movie about Chip and Dale repairing the estranged friendship within the confines of a crime thriller. It’s got some meta moments and lingers on nostalgia, but it wasn’t some thoughtful exploration on the nature of nostalgia or something like I expected. It’s still a Disney rear end movie, so I was a fool for thinking it would go out of that comfort zone. The villain A fat middle aged Peter Pan has been kidnapping toons who owe him money and forcefully making then undergo surgery to change their features to make them legally distinct characters and forcing them to star in bootleg Disney movies. Even without the rights issues, I think they did a pretty good decision for it to not be a direct sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. From a danger standpoint, they’re kinda in a corner since WFRR establishes that toons can only die from Dip. This movie has some dangerous moments so it’s kinda clear that toons can die from normal rear end things. (There is a blink and miss bottle of Dip at one point.) Given that it takes place in the modern day, they make good use of the fact that there’s different animation styles. One of my favorite parts was when they go to a place in LA called The Uncanny Valley, that’s populated by 2000s era “realistic” CGI characters. Ugly Sonic: Ended up being pretty great. Both Chip and Dale meet him at different points in the movie at the convention he’s at and both of them are independently freaked out by his human teeth. There would be these lingering closeups, which was a pretty solid gag. He ends up saving the day in the end. So there’s some weird redemption for the character design.

It was fine. I guess it helps that I had low expectations. I’d say better than Ready Player One because there is a by-the-numbers plot about friendship than RPO’s…whatever. And the trappings of Hollywood washups at least justifies the crossovers better. That still doesn’t really make up for the fact that a lot of the movies humor is still just sticking references or characters in the background in the hopes you clap like a trained seal upon cue. So there’s a chase and you got He-Man and Pumbaa and Voltron milling about. Or they’re sneaking around a spa and you get Scrooge McDuck swimming in a money jacuzzi. There is some mildly creative use of this, but I am just really tired of nostalgia being dangled in front of me like keys. Maybe if there was a more cohesive connection to the crossover like only Disney Afternoon characters or just only Disney characters, and I have to specify that I mean actual Disney characters and not IPs they paid to use or just outright own. Also, apparently Disney had zero permission to use Sonic. I believe he’s called Ugly Sonic throughout the movie, and the design is different from the original movie design. I guess they’re gambling that Paramount or SEGA isn’t going to waste time and money suing over a notorious fuckup. So we get what may be one of the more bizarre circumstances of IP law.
