At some point in production, she was intended to be kind of mean. They wrote and cut this song for her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC98YQb6vM Obviously, that's not the final version of the character. (the recent stage show tried to incorporate the song again but made up some bullshit about how it was just a persona she was putting on to make her suitors go away. that's pretty clearly an ad hoc excuse for using old material incompatible with the final product, though.)

Alan_Shore posted:I saw Beauty and the Beast last night. Overall, I liked it, real solid 7/10. The original is my favourite Disney movie and I tried hard not to compare them too much (which is hard when they reuse the songs and whatnot) but I had a good time. Some REAL bad choices and dialogue here and there, Cogsworth is completely diminished, and why is Ewan Macgegor doing a bad French accent? Also not sure Emma Watson was the best Belle. Beast was great, and there were some touching new moments between. Also, there's a BRUTAL new scene at the end. drat. How gay is LeFou and in what way is the new scene BRUTAL?

TBH this kind of corroborates my earlier theory that the goal of the live-action remakes is to retcon handdrawn animation out of existence, so they can keep making money from marketing their old characters without kids asking awkward questions about why animated movies look different now.

Unmature posted:The R&M creators have called the interdimensional cable episodes their "Treehouse of Horror" multiple times and have talked about doing it every year. That can always change, but it seems like they plan on it. Their seasons are kind of shorter than The Simpsons seasons, though. There's about 21 non-TOH episodes for every TOH episode, while there's about 10 non-IC episodes for every IC episode.

Macaluso posted:There were so many things in the movie that would've made a good movie individually. A cowboy movie with dinosaurs being probably the best of them. Instead they tried to do a road movie (and I love those kind of movies) and half-assed all of them. I kind of wish they'd actually done something with the "hypothetical alternate prehistory" premise instead of just using it as an excuse to have dinosaurs and cavemen coexisting without hot takes about how they're creationists. Like, I'm picturing a scene towards the climax of the movie where the characters are looking up in the sky and one of them gets a weird look in their eye, like a faint impression that they could easily never have existed, and maybe say something to that effect, such that most of the audience doesn't get it but some of them do. Like, they talk about how if things had gone even a little bit differently, they wouldn't be there, or something.

Shadow Hog posted:[*]Toy Story 3: The bits focusing on the toys coping with Andy outgrowing them were really good! I'm not sure if the whole bit with the school will hold up on rewatching (going to assume it would); I recall thinking it was a clever solution to the outgrowing problem when it was the original intended ending for the first Toy Story, so it was maybe a little odd that they decided to turn that concept into something to escape from. Still, the solution they went with worked about as well, in all honesty, and was one of the more earnestly tear-jerking moments in the series. Also, it has a former Bond actor as a hedgehog. Toys, um, don't survive in a school? It's really, really bad for the toy's lifespan, basically equivalent to working in a nuclear test facility that doesn't give a poo poo about the health of its workers? This seems pretty intuitively obvious, but in case it wasn't, the film fuckin' walks you through it?

Shadow Hog posted:Oh, and I almost forgot to mention all the trailers before Your Name, too. Pretty much all standard western animation fare; Leap, Despicable M3, Captain Underpants (first time seeing that one) and LEGO Ninjago... but special mention goes to the overly bombastic teaser trailer for My Little Pony: The Move, which will probably be okay (I mean, I thought the show was alright enough), but whose inclusion before Your Name struck me as remarkably misaimed advertising. Is it really for a younger demographic than DM3?

The only teenagers and young adults I've encountered who like the Minions are in, like, the top percentile of lameness and dorkiness. It's considerably less popular with teenagers and young adults than My Little Pony, which as you point out is extremely uncool. Minions are for children and middle-aged-to-old people. They occupy the same sector of the public imagination as Teletubbies.

Pick posted:There seems to have been some kind of translation error, because I went to the movie I thought was Your Name, but instead of some kind of animated tour de force I was subjected to an aesthetically sterile, stupefyingly generic, superficial, tedious, predictable, boring piece of garbage? This seems like an entirely predictable result of watching an anime movie to me. IMO anime is not on-topic for this thread, which is more about animation produced for art or for money as opposed to animation produced to get off. Even though I haven't watched Your Name myself, I'm glad someone here did who can provide an honest report on it to dispel the illusion that it's a Great Movie that's Not Like The Animes You're Thinking Of and Totally Watchable For The Articles and Please Ignore Those Boob Shots.

The quantity of money this "film" generated in Japan is, IMO, sufficient to justify a military intervention. (It was in excess of 300 million dollars. It was the highest-grossing thing at their box-office last year.) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It just occurred to me that the original The Tom And Jerry Movie is already the prototypical Tom And Jerry Contributing Nothing To A lovely Remake Of A Preexisting Movie, and the movie they were shittily remaking was The Rescuers, but they didn't have the rights to it so they had to pretend it was an actual distinct movie.

Frozen 2 is set several decades in the future, the inciting incident is Elsa dying mysteriously and it looks kinda like foul play. The main plot concerns a succession crisis wherein Olaf is crowned king of Arendelle because he's technically Elsa's child kinda, but Anna's firstborn son, Henry, contends that he is the true heir because snow golems aren't eligible for the crown. The twist ending is that Henry is actually Hans's son

IIRC, The Rescuers was originally supposed to exist in a shared universe with 101 Dalmatians, with the villain literally being Cruella DeVille, but they nixed it because they weren't sure if the public would really get the "shared universe" concept.
