The Disney Thread: For Everything Concerning the House of Mouse

I might have a problem. I can't stop watching Wreck-It Ralph. So far, 6 times in 5 days since purchasing... I'm gonna go watch it again now while I sew some things.
 
Basically, that cartoon gave everyone that watched it weird fetishes.
This is the reason the Great Mouse Detective and Robin Hood don't get much play anymore: GMD has that burlesque scene with the mice and Robin Hood has foxes doin' romantic stuff.

I'm also betting they don't talk much about how Lexington is gay, despite Weisman confirming it.
 
How many times did you see Avatar?
Not that many, surprisingly. It's like watching porn; even if you find blonde women in handcuffs to be a turn-on, you're not going to put on the Blu-Ray of Depraved Dungeons 6 every day after you get home from work.

After Ever After - A parody song telling the tales of what happened after Disney's animated movies were over.

 
That's not the point. The point is that Disney hasn't done shit with Gargoyles as a franchise, aside from nightly airings of the series on Disney XD (which they might not be doing anymore) and a short lived comic (ended because Disney wanted a ridiculous licensing fee from Weisman). You can't even get all the series on DVD because Disney won't release it. This is despite it being one of the most critically acclaimed series they've ever had.

So why would they just get rid of all that instead of rebooting the series for a new audience?
I still send an email every once in a while asking for Season 2 Vol. 2 just so they don't forget that people want it.
 
YES! Frikkin' love Gravity Falls! I also heard they had enough material for three seasons, so if they had to rush all the secrets of Gravity falls in one season I would be peeved.
 
Got Who Framed Roger Rabbit on Blu-Ray yesterday. Man, that film still holds up and is still such a quality picture, in terms of story and technical achievement.
 
I was surprised too, but it seems Ellen Degeneres is on board, which is fantastic if all true. Time will tell.

Disappointing, however, that they are formulaically sequelling all viable Pixar IP though. On the other hand, I enjoyed but didn't absolutely love Brave, so I can understand they are going back to the well for less profitable but less risky projects.

Who is going to take up the leadership mantle and drive them the same way Pixar was driven with the napkin films?
I think the problem is that the really good films (Wally, Up, Ratatouille, The Incredibles) did well in the box office but did shit in merchandising. This isn't to say they were bombs or anything, far from it. But the company still needs to bring in boatloads of cash to operate how they do and the shareholders are getting kind of antsy since Lasseter failed to make the Disney developed stuff as good as the Pixar stuff.

What -I- want to know is if this means Inside Out is being cancelled or pushed back to do Finding Dory.

As for sequels... Toy Story 4 is supposedly greenlit and in production (according to Tom Hanks anyway) and there is talk of an Incredibles sequel. I'd love to see that...

As for the untitled movie about the Mexican Day of the Dead that we know nothing about? Well, considering Disney owns Lucasfilm and Lucasarts now... I'd love to see them do it in the style of Grim Fandango.

OH COME ON.

The trilogy ended. It was perfect. They said that was going to be the last one. Fucking hell. Yeah, I liked the new characters from Toy Story 3, but there is really nowhere left to go with this.

and there is talk of an Incredibles sequel. I'd love to see that...
Something more meritorious of a sequel than Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, or Cars.
 
Finding Nemo is a GREAT movie. Easily in my Top 5 Pixar movies. I just don't think it needs a sequel because it ended perfectly. Monsters Inc. was a great movie too, but I really don't care too much about what Mike and Sully did during college. I'd much rather have it be about the existence of monsters being leaked to the human world when a monster gets trapped on the human side of the door.

Cars didn't need a sequel, let alone 2 of them.

As for Toy Story... yeah, I could see at least one more movie. Woody and Buzz have to get used to being owned by a girl, which is counter to everything they've ever experience in life. Girls are also much more capricious with their toys so there is a much smaller chance they'll be around long enough to see her grow up. Dealing with girl issues, which is a lot different than boy stuff. There's stuff there to work with. The real question is does the story need to go on and I'm not sure it does.

I disagree on Cars. Fun world they built, expanded in the second and I think that looking at the Planes will be interesting.

Toy Story, to me, is done. Doesn't need any other sequel.
 
I didn't realize it was going to be about racing. :/
In contrast to Cars, about car races, and Cars 2, about world wide car racing? Yeah, I was astonished too :p

I never really liked Cars and I think Cars 2 is as meh as any other Disney direct-to-DVD-sequel, but my 6-year-old cousin and his friends, along with every other 4-to-8-year-old I've met the past few years have been crazy about Cars, so....Yeah. Very much a Disney franchise aimed at younger boys (mostly) and very successful in what it wants to do. I don't mind at all, on the contrary, but I don't expect to love Planes.
 
I don't think there should be another Toy Story. Toy Story 3 ended in such an awesome hearfelt way I don't see them coming anywhere near it.
 
Cars is a really good Paul Newman movie, a sort of The Color of Money but animated and about cars. The epiphanies carry the film, and it ends up being less of a film about a car and more a parable of personal growth.

I also really like Cars. It has a lot of great moments and solid voice work.

Cars 2 should have been a buddy comedy between two spy cars -- voiced by Michael Caine and Bruce Campbell -- which just happened to be set in the same world as the first movie.
 
...Finding Dory is real? Huh. Hope it'll be good.

And I as well hope that Toy Story 4 doesn't happen, Toy Story 3 was the logical closure point it doesn't need a fourth. But if it turns out to be good I'll be happy to eat crow.

And as for Incredibles 2 I say- FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINally. Been waiting for that schniz for years.
 
Hey there, folks. Thought I'd give this thread a Necro what with a new Disney animated film coming out soon.

Anyway, a quick recap on some Disney news:
- The trailer is out for Maleficent and it...looks uninspiring.


-More news has been coming out of a live-action Cinderella film, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh. Casting for the film includes:
  • Lily James as Cinderella
  • Richard Madden (most of you know him as Robb Stark) as Prince Charming
  • Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine
  • Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother
-It looks like there will be an animated series (most likely for Disney Junior or online) inspired by the ride It's a Small World. Believe it or not, they do not use the ride's song as the show's main theme.

I swear to god, if Carter plays a weird, quirky, pale-faced godmother with wild hair, I'm quitting her movies.
