How the hell did they mess up the Broadway version of Aladdin that bad when the groundwork with the show at their Park was already so good? I know they would need to add more padding since the other stage show was just shy of an hour but come on.

The Broadway version of Aladdin is so desparate for content that during Friend Like Me not only do they take a break to do an extended parody of Lets Make a Deal, Genie sings parts of other Disney musicals. I wont lie, I wasnt expecting pocahontas of all things to be their choice of “deep cuts” for Genie.

If you're gonna make a loving musical adaptation, you should use the run time to further develop your characters, why is this so hard

All I have to say is Eric Andre as this movie's Ed (they changed the character name) is loving insane, makes no sense for a Disney production, and virtually guarantees I'm in the theater opening night.

Still should have been Genie in Aladdin imho

After hearing they cast Seth Rogen, I made this for the other three Undeclared fans on Twitter. Obviously it's getting zero traction, so you guys can have it. https://twitter.com/Adequate_Scott/status/926614163522314240

I will be entirely frank and non-ironic with you, I think that song is terrible. Generally, the songs added to the musicals seem entirely unsingable. I can belt out Hakuna Matata like any other kid, and a semi-competent karaokeist can stumble through Can You Feel the Love Tonight, but Shadowland just doesn't fit in that Disney sing-along sensibility.

What Disney doesn't realize is I don't want a stage production of Moana, I want a stage production of Star Wars.

I don't think the Broadway versions are necessarily better than the film versions of the same songs, but Shadowlands and He Lives In You (Reprise) are probably my favourite jams on the whole soundtrack. And Endless Night. Aaand I have a soft spot for One By One. Also I am slightly biased because I saw it with my family when I was young, it was the first time I saw a stage play that wasn't put on by a grade school.

I like many of the songs from Broadway The Little Mermaid. Fathoms Below, If Only, Positoovity... I couldn't tell you if they add up to a good musical, but they're fun to listen to.

I watched Watership Down with some friends last night, and wow, that was quite a movie. Really really enjoyed the opening segment depicting the rabbits' creation story in particular.

By the way, I wish I could find the Boss Baby abacus scene on Youtube because I thought it was really sinister, and the movie deliberately never refutes it, it's more about this painful compromise. Can anyone else find it? You know the one.

I caught A Silent Voice (The Shape of Voice) today (it was only recently released in the US). I found it a remarkably well-depicted high school romance story, for all that entails. It certainly feels adapted from a longer work, but stands just fine on its own (I have no familiarity with the original). I would say it captures the depth of the characters, and doesn't turn them into caricatures which could easily have happened in a single movie. I also like that it doesn't try to pretend that women and girls can't be ruthlessly violent. Looks-wise, it's pretty nice, if nothing spectacular. I think I really like the director's style, though - there's some good visual storytelling going on.

smug n stuff posted:There is so much blood in that movie holy cow Oh yeah, and boy were some parents upset. I'd still show it to a kid, though. I know it's not quite the same, but I remember being pretty traumatized by the pound and rat scenes in Lady and the Tramp pretty profoundly. Oh, and Sleeping Beauty had me basically sleeping air-tight under my covers from Maleficent until I was at least thirteen. What I'm saying is that sometimes you just need to scare the bejeezus out of kids. With cartoons.

Brief mention of Watership Down being spooky as all get-out reminds me that the first theatrically distributed animated feature from the U.K. was loving Animal Farm of all things. The Brits just have a longer tradition of not really caring about scaring the blazes out of children.

i guess only time will tell what level of violence is best in a kids' cartoon, but i definitely got into ecology and animals because of watership down (and farthing wood) and the sheer brutality of it was part of the appeal so i guess it worked out for me

Even today I find that scene pretty intense to sit through for reasons I can't quite articulate.
