Escape From Tomorrow is such an interesting behind the scenes concept wasted on an absolutely dogshit script and horrible performances.

I have a signed copy of Escape from Tomorrow on DVD but I haven't watched it in a decade and I'm almost scared to rewatch it because of how bad I'll probably think it is.

I remember Jenny Nicholson said the director was really bitter about the park selling thirty-dollar plastic wands.

Mentioned it before but I'm still stunned in this day and age that Disney didn't push through another 20 year public domain extension.

Detective No. 27 posted:I know the internet has collectively groaned at Disney properties entering the public domain and becoming terrible slasher movies but I welcome it. Make that Steamboat Willy slasher. Make the Disney corporation uncomfortable using their iconography. I think the iconography might be made more uncomfortable just through having more people actually watch all of Steamboat Willie; Mickey is kind of sadistic in it

I assume Disney will be pulling the same tricks the Doyle estate tried, and sue the pants off of any production that has Mickey doing anything besides steering a steamboat.

But, like, when the only permissible thing you can do with Mickey Mouse is “have him make music through bringing pain to animals” then a different kind of problem emerges for his brand

Other than a very recognizable head shape what the hell even is modern mickeys "character"?

Well, that’s why I’m interested to see how it all develops. Disney has protected the more anodyne version of Mickey, but nobody is especially invested in him— and there is enough in Steamboat Willie to create a subversive and uncomfortable version of him, which many people will certainly try and do

I'd still say the character of mickey is pretty basic, but for this story he really doesn't need much, and most importantly he is fun in it and appropriately moves the story along in fun way. But yeah that really was a great premise for an animated short executed really well. Hope they do a lot of those shorts as it's all good to see animators getting to have some fun.

All those shorts were animated by Mercury Filmworks, a Canadian studio that also did Hilda and Centaurworld, which are also top tier cartoons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCojP2Ubuto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU-0hGOmMI4

Those Mickey shorts get real weird sometimes too, like one where Donald and Daisy pretend to be sick to get out of doing group activities with Mickey and Minnie constantly just to get some time to themselves. But Mickey and Minnie come over to take care of them, and are basically treated like horror movie villains. Sadly I can't find this episode on YouTube or whatever, but it's interesting that Disney was willing to do stuff like this

Original Mickey was kind of a rascal so it’s a return to form in some ways. He got softened up a lot when he made the jump to corpo mascot. Some of the softening up was good since he could be too much of a dick to Pluto for instance.

Pretty much all the Chris Diamontopolis voiced Mickey stuff is at least good, they give the boring sage stuff to Bret Iwan.

that lost short Runaway Brain that played before A Goofy Movie ruled. Mickey gets his brain swapped with a giant Frankenstein's Monster Pete. It was even nominated for an Oscar. Of course the execs hated it and had it buried.:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/70027068/BPF42J.0.jpg)

Small Strange Bird posted:The shot of the kids eating his candy guts from his still-living upper body is like something from a zombie movie. Yeah having that section go full zombie movie was a great choice and they pulled it off really well. Some wonderful shots in their. The mix of vivid colours vs zombie movie shots is just great for comedic contrast. Sourdough Sam posted:It was even nominated for an Oscar. Of course the execs hated it and had it buried. Lol of course. Everything I hear about movie execs makes it sounds like you can't become one unless you can prove to a jury of your peers you actively despise good and fun movies.

It's because their business blowhards who don't have a creative bone in their bodies

Casimir Radon posted:There was a short lived moral panic regarding that movie because it was feared dumb kids would run into trees and other objects at full speed imitating George. A lof of parents really lack confidence in the way they raise their kids when this kind of concern manages to get even one headline. I know my kids can be little idiots with no apparent survival instincts sometimes, but god drat.

Sad news. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1739850165228339477?s=20 He faced police questioning over private drug use. Any familiar with Korean and Japan media knows that they are draconian on that stuff.
