I still think it would have made the film more interesting and unique.
Also, they used live action sets just last year for Winnie the Pooh. Granted, no real life actors, but it was still very effective.
Wreck-It Ralph - Part II
Read this from a blog on "The Animation Guild": Thirty years ago, animated releases were very minor events. Now that they've become big business for Hollywood, one that fails to reach a worldwide gross of $500 million becomes a catastrophe.
Wreck-It Ralph has a worldwide gross of $368,429,642. I know it will open in the UK this month & Japan next month, but it will need to gross another $132mil just to get to $500mil! It's pretty much done here in the States, should tap out at $185mil by the end of it's run, $15mil less than Tangled though. I'm sure another $100mil is possible, but will come up short of $500mil.

It won five Annies in total, for those wondering the total. In addition to the top prize, it also won for Best Director, Best Writing, Best Music and Best Voice Acting (for Alan Tudyk).

And thank goodness that Alan Tudyk won Best VA. C'mon, he had to! His impression of Ed Wynn was spot on, plus he was great at the last 20 minutes of the movie!-

Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/ ... 12962.htmlAlan Tudyk kind of misses the earlier version of King Candy. Back when this character really did harken back to Ed Wynn and his Perfect Fool persona.
"There was this joke in an early version of the Wreck-It Ralph script where -- right after Ralph comes in and disrupts Vanellope's initial attempt to enter the Sugar Rush race. King Candy turned to all of the spectators in the stands, who now are rioting because they think the race isn't going to happen. And the King cries out 'Stop! There'll be no race riots here!' " Alan laughed.
"That was a joke that both Rich and I loved, something for the adults in the audience that would hopefully sail over the heads of the kids. But in the end, we wound up cutting that gag because we didn't want to distract people from what was going on in Wreck-It Ralph's story at that point in the story."

I had to look up "race riots" to understand why that line was even a joke. The "race" part made me think of the go-cart race not the race of glitches Vanellope belongs to and non-glitches rioting against them.Sotiris wrote:Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/ ... 12962.htmlAlan Tudyk kind of misses the earlier version of King Candy.

At first I was gonna guess that you weren't from the US, but I see you are... so what's your excuse?Sky Syndrome wrote:I had to look up "race riots" to understand why that line was even a joke.

I can't remember the last time I've read "race riots" somewhere else so I'm not familiar with the term. I honestly couldn't see the joke and it frustrated me that I couldn't immediately see it as funny like others and I had do research to get it. At least, I know "race riots" isn't people raging about stuff in general in stands of a race track. My interpretation is more entertaining IMO. My mom has told me I sometimes have trouble distinguishing some jokes as jokes when I'm see/hear them.SWillie! wrote:At first I was gonna guess that you weren't from the US, but I see you are... so what's your excuse?Sky Syndrome wrote:I had to look up "race riots" to understand why that line was even a joke.
