LOL, no shade, but it's not going to win Best Picture, or even be nominated. I hope Evermore gets nominated and wins Best Song. The other award I see it being nominated for is Production Design.Disney's Divinity wrote:I hope "Evermore" wins Best Song. I'm conflicted about Best Picture. On one hand, I'd like to see it nominated, but not win because the original is far superior. On the other hand, the idea of it being nominated/winning and all the Cinderella fans seething some more would be very enjoyable.
I only discussed it because others were doing so. Why don't you reply to them? They might even appreciate the Cinderella worship since that's the only reason they come in the B&tB thread anyway.tsom wrote: LOL, no shade, but it's not going to win Best Picture, or even be nominated.
Lol, I had no idea that she designed the Yule Ball dress too, but that makes sense because I've heard loads of people complain that Belle's dress looks just like Hermione's dress. It's even more funny because even Hermione's dress gets a lot of hate in the Harry Potter fandom, usually because people didn't appreciate changing the color from blue to pink.Atlantica wrote:I had my suspicions about her having a lot of clout with the dress but didn’t know it was fact ! Is that why it looks so much like Hermione’s Yule Ball dress which I believe she ‘helped’ design too ?

Speaking of Cinderella, below are the Academy Awards Disney wanted it to be considered for.
I forgot that film is coming out this year. That'll be a nice film to watch on Christmas with the family.estefan wrote:It's common place for Disney to have their films be considered in all categories. They always do that with their Marvel films, even though those only ever get nominated for crafts categories.
Evermore could win, but I feel one of The Greatest Showman's songs could be a strong competitor. The La La Land lyricists worked on that and it is a big lavish musical. And if Coco ends up being well received, I could also see the Lopezes winning again.
Sotiris wrote:Me too. I hate it when Disney pulls crap like that. Franco/Molina wrote most of the songs in Coco and Disney couldn't even bother submitting a single one of them? They might as well spit in their faces and tell them their songs are so bad they don't deserve to even be considered. It's just so insulting and disrespectful.D82 wrote:I'm always upset when they leave some songs out of the competition. For Coco, they've also submitted only "Remember Me" by the Lopezes and none of the songs from the other composers.
Exactly.Considering that she refused to audition for a lead role in The Princess and the Frog and wanted it just given to her, I find it amusing that the director thought she would take such a small part as Plumette.blackcauldron85 wrote:Director Bill Condon wanted Beyonce to be in the movie:

I thought that line was referring to her father that has clearly not moved on since his wife's passing.Atlantica wrote:After rewatching this on Blu-ray, had a couple of thoughts ....
Why did they scrap ‘Home’ from film ? I know the Broadway songs weren’t featured, but Home was threaded into the score quite prominently. Is it because Emma couldn’t sing it I wonder ?
With HDAMLF Reprise, I don’t understand what Belle is singing about with regards to being ‘in the Paris of her childhood’ when she clearly left when she was a baby ? ‘Easy to remember, harder to move on...’ how could she possibly remember when she was literally in her cradle ?? Maybe I’m looking too far into it haha !
Good explanation!rodis wrote:I thought that line was referring to her father that has clearly not moved on since his wife's passing.
I feel like Beauty and the Beast was not that bad, sometimes magical, just kind of lifeless, while I know people said Cinderella was bland, but I found it emotional, romantic, and magical.That'd be MAGICAL. But they obviously won't do that since they audiences aren't into 2D nowadays, blech.JeanGreyForever wrote: I do hope though that Evermore wins Best Song since I really loved that and wouldn't mind seeing the Disney animators insert it into the film. I miss the days when they did that.
Cinderella had some critics but that was most people who felt it was too faithful or wanted some sort of spin like Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent. But the vast majority of people preferred this film over Alice and Maleficent. There's a reason that this was the first live-action film that really caught on with people, at least critically, even if not commercially, and made people feel better about the Disney live-action films after the several ones before it which had gotten mixed reviews. A pity the box office results couldn't match. I suppose Frozen Fever wasn't as big of a draw.Disney Duster wrote:I was thinking I don't like how Rotten Tomatoes only gives high percentages for the movies that are liked by more people rather than actually being rated that highly by people. So Wikipedia says Beauty and the Beast's Metacritic, which I believe does tell how highly rated a film is, said it was 65 out of 100. Cinderella got 67 out of 100! So there was harldy any difference between the two in ratings after all? I'm trying to figure that out. But it seems no one really thought either film was very good.
It's a shame they only did it for Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Pocahontas, especially since The Lion King out of all three of them really didn't need that. On youtube, someone has animated The Madness of King Scar as if it was a scene taken out of the movie, and that further convinces me that Disney really should have reinserted that scene into the film instead of the Morning Report. I don't think anyone really cared for Morning Report.thedisneyspirit wrote:That'd be MAGICAL.
