Though to be fair, having watched a couple episodes out of curiosity Lion Guard isn’t bad for a Disney Junior show (its biggest crime is shoehorning a song into every episode regardless of how forced it seems) and apparently gets more of a plot as it goes along. Also almost none of the movie VAs for the returning characters (including ones from the DTV sequels) came back for it Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Oct 10, 2023 |

Larryb posted:The Tangled series was legitimately good though. I’m surprised they didn’t do something similar with Frozen honestly given how popular that was Well they're still making sequel movies from Frozen. Not necessarily good ones, mind you, but still making them!

The only good one was Frozen Fever, in which Elsa ignores a cold in order to try to give Anna the best birthday to make up for all the ones she ruined being terrible. It's a 9 minute micro-opera (I call it that as it's all one big song that never ends throughout the movie so there is little purely spoken dialog) and it's very cute.

The Lego Frozen one is actually pretty decent too, where Sven (I think) calls Kristoff out for mansplaining

Olaf's Frozen Adventure is fantastic, and all the songs are bangers.

Lion Guard Series 3 is a season long arc in a kids show that actually has a lovely message to it. And it has a great villain in Mama Binturong. The Lego Disney Princess short they just released was quite good too.

Lion Guard also gave some additional backstory on Scar as well and the characters are fun (it apparently takes place before and during the second movie with the finale picking up afterwards), the animation and some of the songs aren’t bad either. If you can stomach nearly every episode having at least one musical number I’d actually recommend the show Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Oct 10, 2023 |

runwiled posted:I remember seeing the same trailer from a few months ago. I'm glad it's releasing! The art style and setting are also heavily reminiscent of the video game Sable. They must be pulling from similar influences (also play Sable) They are both pulling wholesale from Moebius. Which is good because more things need to pull wholesale from Moebius.

Don't forget The Lion King 1 & 1/2, which is basically its Rozencrantz And Gildenstern Are Dead, focusing on Timon and Pumbaa before and during the first movie. Not to be confused with the Timon and Pumbaa cartoon that's its own completely unrelated thing.

Timon & Pumbaa was more of a sketch comedy show that barely had anything to do with the movie (some episodes weren’t even in the same universe). Come to think of it, Ernie Sabella was pretty much the only actor to reprise his role in The Lion Guard (Zazu and Rafiki might have had their DTV actors as well but I’m not completely sure about that)

I'll always remember the episode where Timon and Pumba work a fast food restaurant trying to serve a bear a burger without any onions.

As jam-packed full of great pop culture as the early 90s was, the late 90s trying to iterate on it sure feels like everything spinning wildly out of control

Those spin off tv series were good though, much better than imthey had any right to be. Timon and Pumba was often quite funny and Aladdin was also quite good.

The Hercules cartoon also wasn’t too bad and flashing forward to later the Tangled series was better than it had any right to be (Big Hero 6 was also ok if you just skip the third season entirely) Hell, the Aladdin cartoon even gave the Sultan a proper name (though it’s only mentioned like once or twice) Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Oct 11, 2023 |

The best thing about Tangled was that it continued the story and expanded on the lore in ways that actually made sense and didn’t feel at all contrived or forced. It honestly felt like that had been the plan from the beginning.

Data Graham posted:As jam-packed full of great pop culture as the early 90s was, the late 90s trying to iterate on it sure feels like everything spinning wildly out of control Sometimes that was all part of the fun. A lot of the 90s spinoffs get dismissed as cheap cash-ins when if anything that couldn't be further from the truth, they were clearly labours of love and having a lot of fun. Certainly a better track record than the direct-to-video spinoff era. (though Aladdin did have both, with the second one even functioning as a finale for the series) Where it probably gets extra weird is the Lilo and Stitch cartoon having crossovers with almost every TV cartoon they had going on at the time. (and then Recess some time after it had been cancelled) Unfortunately Disney can't bury its TV animation hard enough. They got hit hard by the Disney Vault and then Disney wonders why they don't have appeal in exactly the demographics those shows were loved by.

I still feel the same way about this as I did as before. The premise looks cute enough, I like the whole thing about him getting all the kids to feel good about themselves. But Adam Sandler himself should not be the voice for this character https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_AEL-Xo5l8 It doesn't work AT ALL

hate to bother people, but I posted this in the white whales thread and got nothing, wondering if any experts here might be able to help me dig this one out:hexwren posted:Wondering about a film I saw in first grade - on rainy days for recess, we'd all go into the gymnasium and watch 16mm (maybe 8, idk, I'm not a film expert) short films, usually animated, some not. The Electric Grandmother was definitely one, as were a number of storybook adaptations - Drummer Hoff sticks in my mind.

You should have one credit card and just pay it off every month. You may need a good credit rating someday.

As long as you pay off your credit card on time, its actually way better. You can get really screwed over with a debit card because it has less protections.
