Dapper_Swindler posted:she is like that in the original golden age. then the silver age kinda hosed poo poo up and most of her stuff was falling in love with various people and it falling apart joke comics. Yeah the original Lois Lane was based on the heroic female journalists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, folks like Nellie Bly and such who put their safety and their very lives at risk for big exposés on corruption and so on.

I remember reading that while obviously, the Golden Age of Comics wasn't perfect, it was often shockingly better about things like that than the Silver Age that followed it later was, at times. Like, Silver Age Lois was obsessed with getting Superman to marry her and that was also the era of Wonder Woman being vaguely apologetic about rescuing male characters.

It's been awhile since Steven Universe was current, but can anyone tell me if Connie's dad knowing about the dbz fusion dance was something that actually happened or was from a fan comic? Because I can hear it in my head, but am not finding any evidence.

This reminds me of a few different styles, one of them being Flapjack. Considering that's one of my favorite toons of all time, I'm thrilled by this, despite the internet making its chemical imbalance everyone else's problem.

The art style looks cute if it was for, say, a comic book or strip. But the facial features are not easy to read and the character models can't turn around easily, so for animation they're pretty bad. You want to be able to parse what you're seeing easily and quickly, especially because the will be moving around.

Apparently the last animated movie to do that kind of number was Frozen 2.

For reference it's currently number #11, just a little bit behind Zootopia. Frozen 2 is #2 at $1,450,026,933, while Mario is $1,022,473,825. The saddest one is the number 1 spot, which is the Lion King Remake, at $1,657,713,459.

One of the most impressive things to me about TLK is that the animation quality didn’t even really get that much of a downgrade for the two DTV sequels and the Lion Guard cartoon series

TBF I'm not as surprised about Little Mermaid in particular doing relatively small numbers, since it was the very first movie of the renaissance era and likely had an uphill battle to prove itself with audiences.

Also remember that with every year there's a much larger audience, more cinemas, more expensive tickets and more franchise and medium momentum. Of course a movie's making a fuckload more money when there's a fuckload more venues for people to pay to see it.

Nah Pocahontas did really well at the time it came out it's just that Lion King did even better and well if we're being blunt Pocahontas has probably aged the worst of any film in the Disney Animated Canon that was released in the 20th Century

A Dreamworks Pocahontas would probably work well. Disney was really not the house to do that story-- adding in cute sidekicks to lessen the tension, a tree that gives the love interest magical understanding powers (justbdont look up what the settlers did to the natives I guess)... it was just kind of a mess. Pretty though.nine-gear crow posted:Katzenberg's only saving grace was that Eisner proved to be the bigger dipshit between them, historically speaking.

In a better world Frank Wells wouldn't have died in a senseless helicopter accident and him, Eisner, and Katzenberg would have continued working in harmony We also would have probably gotten "Westcot" instead of California Adventure and Disney's America would have probably been made as well(as Eisner has gone on record that between losing Frank and the heart attack he had in the mid 90's he just didn't have the will to focus on the parks like he had been doing up to that point on top of everything else he had to handle at Disney, especially after Katzenberg left)

The 90s had kinda gotten big into the idea of trying to depict native americans positively, but without feeling the need to do any research into things. So they just bounced from the old classic western depictions to more of the whole "noble savage" thing. And since then, I don't think pop culture interpretations of native americans has exactly improved, so much as just not bothering to depict them much at all. Turning the story into a whole Romeo and Juliet thing wasn't a great idea, but it's easy to see why it happened. Especially since Lion King had done so well with Hamlet. FilthyImp posted:A Dreamworks Pocahontas would probably work well. Only if you feel like it'd be improved by more farts. Dreamworks definitely wasn't known for its sensitivity. How much responsibility Katzenberg had for Disney's successful movies and how much creative input (as opposed to just being able to manage creators) is up for debate, since there's a lot of subjective accounts. I do get the impression that while Eisner was a paranoid jerk, Katzenberg was also an rear end in a top hat. Some of Dreamworks's movies really reek of pettiness against Disney. drrockso20 posted:We also would have probably gotten "Westcot" instead of California Adventure and Disney's America would have probably been made as well(as Eisner has gone on record that between losing Frank and the heart attack he had in the mid 90's he just didn't have the will to focus on the parks like he had been doing up to that point on top of everything else he had to handle at Disney, especially after Katzenberg left) The entire mess of Euro Disneyland also ruined a lot of Eisner's plans for the parks. Might've done better if they put it in Spain instead of the country that is most hostile to a foreign culture asserting its international influence, but Eisner really loved France.

SlothfulCobra posted:Totally Spies was never really of much interest to me, but I assume it had a decent audience even aside from the whole fetish stuff. There was some kind of sequel series I never heard much about. This is entirely based on hearsay, but apparently the French animation industry is a bizarrely juvenile affair, despite the fact that they also put out a lot of well respected 'serious' content. It's purportedly really common that like excessive and outright mean pranking, like 'walk away from your desk and forgot to log out and half your work poo poo is screwed up'. It's not so much about having an outlet as it is there's a 'troll' fun in constantly trying to see how horny you can make a scene and still get it to air, regardless of what age rating the show is intended for. Like, there was a kids' animated show from a few years ago called Bunny Maloney that aired on French TV on stations that were so young kid-oriented they had 'family' in the name, and it still made the sole female member of the main cast into some weird PG slut??? - doing stuff like pole dancing and being way too enthusiastic about trying to explain sex ed with visual aids. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Radar/BunnyMaloney

Yeah, it’s a spy show so a bit of bondage naturally comes with the territory but from what I’ve heard Totally Spies basically contains nearly every fetish you can think of. Was the sequel series Amazing Spiez any less horny out of curiosity?

Larryb posted:Was the sequel series Amazing Spiez any less horny out of curiosity? I wanted to say "yes, of course, they had a younger cast" but I went to check episode summaries to be safe. Turns out my hunch was right but the studio snuck in one or two along the way. quote:An experiment was stolen from a lab, and at the same time, children who are having 13th birthdays become mutated. The Spiez are sent to investigate and discover that a girl named Kat is behind it all. She was disappointed in her birthdays, so she wants to get revenge by turning other rich children into mutants during their birthdays, and therefore have the biggest party on the block.

Katzenberg used to have some decent instincts, such as being the guy to shield Who Framed Roger Rabbit from executive interference.
