Re: Most anticipated Disney movie of 2024
Glad to see that Wicked and Moana seem to be generating similar levels of hype. Though, a part of me wonders if one of them is going to concede the Thanksgiving spot to the other. This isn't a Barbienheimer situation. The two movies fill very similar needs and I worry they might compete with one ano...

Re: The Little Mermaid (TV series) vs The Little Mermaid 2 vs The Little Mermaid 3
I'll admit the sequel has some songs I like, but I find its warping of Ariel's character unforgivable and most of its plotting messy. The prequel has fewer highs but also fewer lows, and is mostly inoffensive. I've only seen about half the episodes for the show (and not in like ten years), but from ...

Re: Tiana (Disney+ Series)
It's not our job to try to spoonfeed executives on agendas they've shown no interest in fulfilling. There's no way to know for sure how they would perceive that movie's success or if 2D animation would even cross their mind, though I can think of a few places their minds are more likely to go if the...

Re: Rank The Little Mermaid (TV Series) Songs
I'll have to give them all a listen again to give an accurate ranking. I've always liked "Break Away/Edge of the Sea." I think it has some of Jodi's best vocals in the franchise. But also, Jodi actually did give her first live performance of "In Harmony," and it is darling. https...

Re: The new Princesses being excluded from the lineup
That's just dumb. Belle said reading about Prince Charming was her favorite part. And she liked palaces because that's what she liked to read about. Her dream was not to read about an enchanted castle but live in one and that's what she got. I've made that same observation many times. And on some l...

Re: The new Princesses being excluded from the lineup
Well, remember that Ariel was also hyped up by Disney to be the first active Disney Princess, too. And not only by Disney, but by reviewers. However, Belle was still praised by Disney for being superior to Ariel. Disney tends to double-dip with these kinds of things. While Disney will play up Ariel...

Re: The new Princesses being excluded from the lineup
Between those four, I'd say Belle is the most overrated, but I still like her just fine (the only princess I'd say I dislike is Merida). I just think that a lot of what people assume about Belle is mostly projection. I also think that while Disney likes to hype her up as the first active Disney Prin...

Re: Brother Bear
Today I learned about a 1988 movie called The Bear , and after reading the synopsis on Wikipedia , it struck me how similar Brother Bear 's plot is to this movie's. Now, I'm not saying Disney definitely ripped it off nor does it spoil my enjoyment of Brother Bear , but the similarities are quite un...

Re: Mufasa: The Lion King (Live-Action)
It definitely reads to me like he was speaking to The Lion King as a larger mythology while still keeping the animated film as its face, the thing we are here to discuss. I spotlight his response here because it's a bit of a change of pace for the creative team of one of these remakes to build their...

Re: Mufasa: The Lion King (Live-Action)
I read a description that the framing device of the movie is Rafiki in the present relating the story of Mufasa’s youth to a young Kiara through flashbacks. So I am guessing that’s how Beyoncé and the rest of the cast from the first film will reappear here. I guess that makes sense. Can't decide wh...

Re: Kingdom Hearts (Animated Series)
Well, to get one thing out the way, Disney is developing an animated Kingdom Hearts movie. While years back I had heard the idea was to do something on Disney+, more recently I have heard the goal would be big screen adaptation, but as of now, these are just rumblings and nothing has been greenlit....

Re: Mufasa: The Lion King (Live-Action)
I would have much rather seen Lin do the music for Moana 2, but I generally like him, and I suppose this movie could use all the help it can get. Some of the snapshots of the trailer were interesting, but this whole movie still feels like Disney is just doing someone a favor. Anyways, Beyonce is in ...
