My prediction for MLP is massive internet backlash. Not because it's bad, but because MLP fans are the worst. Every minor criticism (valid or not) of the movie will be met by towering anger by the fans. They'll take it personally. Every discussion will be derailed until hatred of the fandom is inseparable from hatred of the movie itself.

Dr. Memory posted:Nearly every shot of Jake is in close-up and just lingers on his details. You'd need to go that far with the mapping or he wouldn't look real. Oh man I just noticed how his mouth looks like one of those evil, thin mustaches.

Das Boo posted:Meg and Kuzco are the best Disney princesses, bar none. Kuzco owns, but unlike Meg, he's not the best part of his movie. Not because he's bad but because everything is is amazing. That said, Kronk is the best part of ENG, hands down.

Based on his design, not at all really You know, I actually like the message of "gently caress it, just be yourself" that it implies. Dude just wants to be fabulous. Its his other foibles--he's just a huge jerk--that are bad.

I know it's something of heresy around these parts, but I genuinely like the Despicable Me/Minions movies. I 100% recognize that only the first DM movie crosses that line from "enjoyable" to "objectively good movie," but both DM2 and Minions were squarely in that "enjoyable" category for me. Gru is awesome. Dr. Nefario is awesome. The girls are awesome. Lucy is...okay. I must have the attention span of a gnat because the Minions usually make me laugh rather than groan. And I love the crazy super-villains across the board, what with how they borrow everything absurd from comics, pulp novels, James Bond, and more. The recent Despicable Me 3 trailer is extremely my poo poo.

Crazy Ferret posted:The Hell sequence legitimately terrified me as a kid. I adore it as an adult but it was wild at the time. There is something about Bluth's color palette that makes things intense and still dreamlike. Me too. Mom used to put it on on lazy Sundays when she'd spend the afternoon reading. My sister and I had a love/hate relationship with that movie. I was talking to my mom about it years later, as an adult, and she was confused as gently caress. Seems she thought we'd been watching Oliver and Company over and over. lol

Just re-watched Moana for the first time since its theatrical release. Grandma is the best. And Shiny is quite possibly the best villain song.

Sage Grimm posted:It's not overrated but rather oversaturated. Agreed. I really like Frozen, and Anna is one of my favorite Disney characters. She's very well-rounded in her strengths and flaws. Let It Go is an amazing song to the point that it elevates the entire film. But holy poo poo did Disney and the world go full retard with the hype. There was a solid year, maybe year and a half, where I saw/heard/noticed Frozen everywhere. Now I still see it from time to time, but it's not nearly as ubiquitous.

I watched Aladdin for the first time in at least 15 years last night. Thoughts: I really miss Robin Williams. I also really like Jasmine as a character. I vaguely remembered Jasmine as "kind of mean." I guess teenage me thought "strong-willed" was the same as "not nice." I was wrong, because Jasmine owns. She's smart and willful and (despite the Disney trope of falling in love in one evening) presents a great message of not being a prize to be won. Jafar is a great villain, but he goes absolutely mad at the end. His shift from cold-and-calculating to cackling mad is abrupt and happens the moment he makes his second wish. I guess absolute power corrupts absolutely. His reprise of Prince Ali ends with his mad laughter. Is the merchant in the intro supposed to be the Genie? Because he has a lot of the same speech patterns (notably going into rapid-fire not-quite-asides after every few lines), and a lot of magical stuff happens around him casually, like his stall which appears from nothing and the glowing sand from the lamp. His motions are also extremely bouncy and over-animated.

Das Boo posted:I know it'd get poo poo all over for bad female role model shenanigans, but a story about a dude who pursues a princess who's just a complete rear end in a top hat would be funny as hell. Road to El Dorado isn't too far off from this. Only everyone is an rear end in a top hat. Except the chief.

This was a very bland movie. It was aggressively mediocre. The cowboy T-Rex family was the absolute highlight of the movie. I wish the rest had had even some of that heart and imagination.

Regalingualius posted:Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to defend S2 of Korra, even if it had the story of Wan and the journey to the Spirit World. That being said, though, S3 managed to make the mother of all saving catches for a show. I've recently rewatched both Avatar and Korra, and I think Season 3 of Korra may be the strongest season of both series. But whoa boy, that second season or Korra sure is trash.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Okay, I just spent the last few days watching the first season of Avatar on this thread's recommendation and it was a bit up and down. There were some great episodes but some of the filler episodes just plain sucked (like the one where they had to help two enemy tribes cross a valley eurgh). I took my five year old kid, who loved the cartoon, to see the live action movie. It was the first movie he ever asked to go see. After the movie, he said "Daddy, that was a bad movie." Yes, son, yes it was.

He didn't like Penguins of Madagascar. I don't disagree with anything else, but man...how can you not like Penguins? It's the best animated romp since Emperor's New Groove.

"No, Bob. That's bad." It's from the Incredibles, during the dinner table scene. My wife and I say this to each other all the time. "Why do we even have that lever!?" The entrance to Yzma's secret lair in Emperor's New Groove has two levers. One opens a trap door. Kronk can never pull the right one. Also everything Kronk says is pure gold.

Macaluso posted:Talking about Penguins of Madagascar, I went back and watched some of the stuff from it on youtube: The movie is just a pure joy to watch. The only thing it does less-than-perfectly is the ham-fisted way it squashes in the moral. It's just so serious about it in a movie that takes literally nothing else seriously. I wish it had been 100% tongue-in-cheek the entire time, or just dropped the moral entirely.

More than once, in my time as a father and husband, I've asked myself "What would Gomez do?" The answer was always the right answer. The Addams Family is wholesome as gently caress.

Robindaybird posted:It's amazing, because they were the 'weird inhuman' family, the TV series got away with a lot more - they were the only couple that looked and acted like they were genuinely in love with each other. The whole family is amazing, especially considering how old the show is. Gomez and Morticia are clearly head over heels in love with each other. It's passionate without being raunchy. They also talk out their problems; any time they disagree (which isn't common), they work to see the others' point of view. It's a model of how to have a successful relationship. The kids are given freedom to learn and explore and make mistakes, and supported at all times. It's a model of how to raise children to be independent without running wild. There's no snarky "I hate the in-laws" crap with grandmama, even Lurch is treated with respect. There's not a single person they interact with who is treated poorly. It's a model of how to treat others in your sphere of influence, even when they're on the edges of it. The women are treated as equals. Physical differences mean nothing. The Addamses default to inclusiveness at all times. It's a model of how to treat others, even those you don't understand. I could go on and on. I love the Addams Family, both the original B&W show and the movies.
