Drifter posted:I don't get it, what made the show dire? You just say it wasn't for you because people cheered when they sang a song? I assume they did not enjoy the show at all but also admit they are not in Frozen's target audience and thus that may not apply to people who are. 21 Muns posted:IMO, Disney should commit to a plan, kind of like Pixar's plan to make no more than 1/3 of their movies prequels, to make at least 1/3 of their movies stylistically unique. We could get a Paperman-ish movie, a faux-stop-motion movie, a movie in that faux-painted style Rapunzel was supposed to be in, etc Disney had all 5 of the top 5 grossing movies last year. I imagine their response to that is 'lol, why?'

Das Boo posted:See, that's something I really admired about Walt Disney- He risked financial loss to push innovative artforms. It's a pity Disney Corp can't be arsed to do that with billions behind them. I think Disney is willing to take risks in some form or another, in terms of writing or casting. Maybe things that shouldn't be risk ("A woman star? Well, I never!") but they're not 100% safe at all times. That said I do wish they'd be willing to do more artistically. Hell, I wish we still got 2D films.

Das Boo posted:Didn't this come out during a weird spurt where there were a bunch of animated movies about shrinking people? I think so. Literally the only reason I remember it exist is because one of the very first freelance writing gigs I had was writing a review of the game and even then I completely and utterly forgot it existed until I was going back through some old files earlier. In my brain it always transformed into Antz or Bugs Life or something instead.

Pick posted:Much like Trolls, I think the big weakness of BH6 is that it is constrained by the property upon which it is based. If it weren't, it would probably have been ten times better. I was ultimately still able to enjoy Trolls, but BH6 feels like a waste of my time. BH6 isn't constrained by the property upon which it is based at all. It has almost nothing to do with it but the names.

Das Boo posted:lol, Belle's one quality that makes her the intelligent Disney princess is "likes to read" and they decide this is a good character to not know/understand Shakespeare. Uh, that's the opposite of what that means. If they're (the twitter poster, not the film) using "Beast-splaining" like "Man-splaining" then it implies that what's going on is that he's explaining to her something she already knows but that he assumes she doesn't. Thus it being condescending. The change isn't "Belle doesn't know Shakespeare" it is "The Beast is literate and intelligent and treats Belle like she isn't smart enough to understand what he does." (Again, based off only that explanation.)

I suspect the heavy presence of Belle and Moana is due to them being the most recent in addition to general popularity. A lot of polls tend to get heavily influenced by that.

Das Boo posted:I don't know if it can be worse than another friend insisting on taking me to Alvin & the Chipmunks. Generally no, my friends tend to have similar tastes to me and when they don't it's rarely a case of "I want you to see this thing I know you'll dislike." We all laughed our asses as the tiny floating rock in The Last Airbender though so YMMV.

Especially when the idea is "what if there was a city of animals where the cute animal wasn't taken seriously" as Zootopia isn't even the first frigging thing to do that ever.

Das Boo posted:I really liked Madoka. The only even-close-to-questionable content in it I can think of was towards the end, but it's only questionable if you consider Sailor Moon to be nude during her transformation scene. I considered the outlined form to be representative of the soul, not actually naked. Is there something else I missed? I think children being violently and graphically murdered onscreen is probably an Objectionable Thing when you are talking about family friendly.

Fangz posted:What is actually the correct tone, in your view? Evangelion isn't a bitter "you loving suck and I hate you" thing. It's genuinely a work that has something to say about relationships between people and how hosed up and messed up they can be. There is an undercurrent of anger to it but the anger isn't just at hardcore fans because they suck but anger at a lot of things including Anno having anger at himself. The franchise is critical as a whole of anime nerds but keep in mind that criticism includes the staff. It isn't people doing a gently caress-you to people they hate, it involves a lot of personal elements, self-loathing and a healthy dose of massively slashed budget. But it's also sympathetic and it cares. It doesn't want you to go to hell. It wants people to grow and become better. Shinji is a hosed-up and broken kid and you're supposed to pity him, not hate him. The only thing Evangelion really truly despises is people who cut themselves off entirely and even them it treats as sad, not evil.
