I just found Soul utterly mediocre, which is iirc the worst thing any movie can be. I'd rather laugh at a bad one than yawn through a boring one.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Eh, Sora is very marketable and even most Kingdom Hearts fans have no idea what's going on with the story. It'd probably be the most comprehensible plot Disney has put out in a while at this point anyway. I feel like it's probably some sort of co-ownership situation. Also I think everybody's vastly overestimating the size of the fanbase. I mean, I'm sure it's huge, but in comparison to the fanbase for other Disney properties/Disney as a whole it's probably comparatively niche. Because if it were that huge, you're right, they would fight tooth and nail to make Sora's goofy anime rear end pop up

Panfilo posted:I hear they're gonna make a live action movie of it but from the info I've seen I'm not super impressed with the casting of Fishlegs and Snotlout. Ah, Dreamworks is jumping on the Disney live-action bandwagon? That's a shame but I can't blame them I guess, seeing how Disney has made out like bandits from that strategy no matter how mediocre the final product is.

I'm not surprised, but honestly, I think they're kind of right to say it's not just for kids. Because let's be real, this show is a kids show... buuut it's also not a kids show. It's really a show being made for the late 20s/30-somethings that grew up with the show and are now viewing it with heavily rose-tinted glasses (and they're the ones buying the Netflix accounts). The goal isn't to remake Avatar as it was, it's to make Avatar as you remember it.

Regalingualius posted:Except Netflix still has the original series right there already. Hey man, I don't disagree, I think the entire idea of a live action version is just like all the Disney ones: a bad one. But Hollywood's run out of ideas, so they're gonna Robindaybird posted:Also loving chasing after the GoT hype in 2024. Yeah it imploded badly, but it was also loving huge. That's what show creators and/or executives looking to make a show are looking at. They're not looking at the people saying the end retroactively ruined the series, they're looking at the sheer number of people who were invested, at the merch sales, at the number of poor children out there named loving Danerys or something because their parents were so into the show... and other poo poo like that. GoT is (arguably) the biggest cultural juggernaut that the world has seen on TV in years, and until something steps up to take that crown, you'll still see it get name-checked when you see stuff about what people want their show to be like (especially if it's even remotely for adults) TwoPair fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Feb 6, 2024 |

mystes posted:Also even if the amount of money they would save by writing it off is only equal to the profit from selling it off, I still think they should sell it so they don't gently caress over all the people who spent a ton of time working on it. There's a little tinfoil hatted part of my brain that thinks that maybe they're more afraid that if it does well it makes them look even stupider than if they canned it, so they've decided to settle on just looking the usual amount of stupid.

I read a theory that Coyote is getting axed because it was greenlit by previous leadership and for a minute I laughed it off but thinking on it I think Zaslav might just be that much of a petty bitch....ThermoPhysical posted:A lot of show creators had to do that. I recall IanJQ having to do that for OK KO and Owen Dennis basically told everyone to pirate Infinity Train since that was the only way to watch it as it was even being removed from people's Amazon lists despite buying it. The DVDs of Infinity Train went to insane prices too. Knuckles gets his cowboy hat, show confirmed good.

Robindaybird posted:iirc, Bob Hoskins admits to basically being plastered the entire time for the movie. It was both him and John Leguizamo. My favorite story of that movie is a quote from Dennis Hopper: "My six-year-old son at the time – he's now 18 – he said, 'Dad I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' And I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'"

Larryb posted:So apparently they’re making a Toy Story 5 and a Moana 2 (in addition to the live action remake of the first one) Iirc Moana 2 is old news, but I'm not too surprised by news of TS5. 3 provided a perfect end point, so when 4 came out I figured they would just milk the franchise until it's past it's expiration date. Plus our current sequel/franchise dominated media landscape pretty much guarantees that Toy Story will keep going until the franchise is past dead (or Tom Hanks dies, whichever comes first).

YggiDee posted:why has everyone decided that the hatewatchers made Velma happen vs every other time a bad show gets more seasons. many more people just like bad shows I think it's just the belief that if everybody (read: all the people that bitch about it online) hates it yet it continues to exist, that people must be hate watching it, because how could anyone like a bad show? It's just flawed echo chamber thinking. ...Though there a grain of truth there because otherwise how are people making so many long-rear end youtube videos about why it's so bad? (beyond the ones that immediately made them when the trailer/character designs dropped because THE drat WOKES ARE CHANGING THINGS!  ). A lot of dumbasses self-reporting to be hatewatching when they complain about it getting renewed even though, as others have already mentioned, it was probably approved as 2 seasons from the jump.

Annnnd of course LMM is doing the songs. Man, when they signed the deal to get Hamilton on Disney+ he must have gotten some crazy rear end "I will now be the music guy" clause in there. Or Disney has him chained to a desk, I can't figure out who's in power.

Larryb posted:Not sure how credible this is but apparently a Kingdom Hearts movie is rumored to be in the works too: My first thought is "no way" because it'd be a pain to get Square Enix on board for cameos but then as I understand it (haven't played it personally) KH3 basically cut out all the Final Fantasy characters so it's purely Disney stuff (and the jointly owned OCs from the KH series). At best I could see them doing like an anime OVA for promo/tie-in whenever the next game's gonna come out. A movie as in like a full-rear end feature film would be nuts and I feel comfortable saying there's only barely a chance it'll happen. But who knows, dumber things have been greenlit especially in the age of streaming. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Megera posted:also the main song "This Wish" was written before the script, and which they used to base the story off of ah yes, that makes total sense  High Warlord Zog posted:My gut says we're going to see some significant bombs or underperformers among the October/November/December blockbusters. Moana 2 is absolutely going to get slaughtered by Wicked and The Prequel King might as well. Audiences are getting wise to Sony's Spidermanless Spiderman game and are going to stay away from Kraven. Joker and Venom might turn out to be novelties that audiences were only happy to take to a billion-ish once. And people haven't showed up for Ridley Scott for a while. Nah, unless Moana 2 just sucks complete poo poo it'll make bank. And unfortunately I think Prequel King's gonna do just fine. Remember, even though most people agreed it was unnecessary and a lot said it was the inferior version, Live-Action Lion King was the #2 movie of 2019 (only losing to Avengers Endgame) which shows that people still payed up for it, meaning they'll probably do it a second time (plus never underestimate the market power of kids dragging their parents to a talking animal movie). Kraven probably will crap the bed (though I predict not as bad as Madame Web). I think the only one in real risk of flopping (well, compared to expectations) of that lot is Joker 2 Electric Boogaloo because yeah I think that Joker might have been a weird change up that only works once.

I also remember it as being very good and that's kind of why I've never revisited it, because I've heard multiple people (including yourself) express the same things about it being disappointing. I'm just gonna let the nostalgia cloud my memory on that one for good... ALFbrot posted:I'm torn between being interested by all the BTS and pre-viz stuff they dug up and being wildly distracted by the weird choices of music (with sound effects sometimes) and to spend 30% of the runtime watching a progress bar on Windows Media Player while people read reenactments of interviews Yeah, I watched it but that was kind of distracting. Like, I get that multiple people probably don't want to do video interviews, especially ones who want to remain anonymous, but there has to be a better way (in fact I know there's a better way from watching other documentaries in the past) than just showing a blank media player. I will say that it's definitely interesting hearing how they actually pioneered a lot of 3D technology but uh... they just did it really bad because of constant revision.
