Kermit The Grog posted:Also, side note question: they showed constellations for all the mainline Disney animated movies over the credits and I swear they skipped over the Rescuers movies, did I just miss them? They’re my favorites They probably did, Rescuers, Great Mouse Detective and Oliver & Company tend to get overlooked a lot.

Ghost Leviathan posted:When the topic is Disney, it should be pretty clear that it's not just about reaching the kids of today- the point is Disney totally squandered the reach it had in the 80s and 90s when there was far fewer competition for children's eyeballs, and entire generations grew up knowing Mickey only as a mascot with less personality than Chuck E Cheese, or exclusively in boring edutainment for babies they left behind as soon as possible to watch Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and Pokemon. (where as formulaic and often juvenile as they can be, they at least aren't boring.) I do wonder if they were stinging from their attempt to update Minnie in the 80s and shied away from trying it with Mickey.  Totally Minnie was roundly mocked for an obvious attempt at 'how you do, fellow kids?' (though funnily, she's about the only incarnation who isn't completely defined by her relationship with Mickey) EDIT: thinking about it, Minnie was probably a dry run to see if they can update Mickey & Co, and cancelled it on seeing how Totally Minnie went over like a lead balloon.

what's interesting was Toni Basil was in her 40s when she did the song and video - including yes all the cheerleading routines. I loving hate the song though.

Cats Don't Dance was an absolutely solid movie that got hosed over by the studios. Baby Doll was honestly one of the most pitiable of Batman's Rogue gallery given her entire situation, and I really didn't like how they handle her in "Love is a Croc" as well as her overall redesign.

Also kind of late to be chasing the GoT hype - given the lovely final season nuked it out of pop cultural relevance. I'm also someone who didn't care for the OP anime or manga but enjoyed the live action adaptation.

I feel like the difference is TV Shows have build-in "Breaks" - yes, you can pause any time during a movie at home, but lot of movies don't really have a comfortable spot to put things on hold, but on a show, the Credits/ED starts, that is a perfectly fine place to stop. It's kind of a weird bit of psychology.

Not to mention this kind of screwball antics is making directors and production teams reconsider doing any work for WB, because if they're doing this to one of their flagship IPs - what's to stop them from loving over other projects?

Ghost Leviathan posted:Jokes aside, that movie's whole production is a dumpster fire from a production standpoint as the directors literally only used the name as an excuse to make their 'cyberpunk with dinosaurs' idea and Nintendo had to constant push to make it remotely recognisable as a Mario movie. iirc, Bob Hoskins admits to basically being plastered the entire time for the movie. But yeah, you can't blame Nintendo after seeing Captain N, the Zelda cartoon, the CD-i games and the movie - kinda of like the urban legend of Miyazaki sending Disney a sword with the words "no cuts" emblazoned on it when Princess Mononoke was being dubbed given how badly Nausicaa was butchered into "Warriors of the Wind"

Honestly the most frustrating thing is the anti-camps in their misguided 'we gotta protect people from problematic elements' are playing right into the hands of the same kind of fundie-rear end playbook that want to label two men holding hands or two girls kissing as "pornographic" or the weird paternalism that side of the discourse has. Petite women and short men are "child-coded" and thus should be seen as children, someone that's unable to speak but otherwise can communicate their wants and needs is incapable of consent. It's one thing if they only have pants-on heads stupid opinions about fictional characters, but many of them blur the lines. As unfortunately toxic fandoms are toxic because they DON'T put that separation between fiction and reality. But really, I'd be suspicious of some coomer that's bright red in Shinigamieyes talking about fandom drama, they always have some nasty chuddy reason behind it.

and the Zoot Suit Riots (which isn't just a Cherry Poppin' Daddies song) was over a cut of suit - and racism, because almost every riot in the US has some form of racism at the root of it. Fandom can be cool and many pros started in fandom, but it's important to have the ability to recognize when things are nuts and step back. Social media unfortunately makes it very easy to rile people up and get into a mob mentality.

Moonbeam City really was a poor man's Archer that seem to have expected the Vaporwave aesthetics and Synth-pop to carry the show. and the mayor's sexual exploitation of Pizzaz is treated as a comedy bit It might have improved if given another season, but there's kind of a reason why it ended up getting memory-holed.

Given Zaslav had canned Batgirl and seem in general not keen on batman and thinks Animation is non profitable, I suspect the answer to 'why resistance' is because it's a stupid fucker letting his biases overrule everything.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm pretty sure they're both based on a Brazilian parrot. helps both Panchito and Jose were voiced by actors of their actual ethnic/regional background (Jose even shares the same name as his - though his VA went by the nickname Ze) - which was about unheard of in Hollywood then and studios still struggle to do NOW, and while they definitely embodied stereotypes, they were stereotypes that people are proud of.

I think it's often because they're cutting trailers before the film is actually finished (thus why you often have scenes in trailers that don't appear in the films themselves)

I recall due to the Hayes Code, they had to change Toad willfully stealing the car to being duped because of the 'criminals can't have a happy ending' rule - doesn't explain why Rat ended up as an uptight priss when you already have Badger as the strict one. The song is extremely catchy. Sleepy Hollow is actually probably one of the most faithful adaptations given most versions makes Crane less of an unscrupulous gold-digger and mooch to make him more sympathetic.
