General Disney Discussion

[Opossum]

Man, I've always wanted to go to D23. Maybe someday.

 

[VioletSmashfan]

I'm.
So.
Lazy.
To.
Update.

Sorry if I'm a bit behind on Disney related news but bear with me. Before I get started, I'm going to also be posting more in-depth on Disney toy news in the Pool Room's Toy General Discussion (created by yours truly ) for those of you interested.

D23
Pixar has just confirmed their appearance at the biggest Disney fan event, D23! The following panels available for attendees are as listed:

• 
  
• Every Story Is a Journey: The Upcoming Films of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios
• In Conversation with the Filmmakers and the Emotions Behind Inside Out
• Pixar Secrets Revealed! Hear the Stories They Didn’t Want You to Know!
• Toy Story: 20 Years Later, the Original Crew Looks Back

In addition, the Buzz Lightyear float from the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade will be flying to infinity and beyond at the event.

Ant-Man
I know I haven't been following Ant-Man closely but we are only a few weeks away until its premiere. With that in mind, more TV-Spots are popping up:

in addition, there are some High-Res stills from Stitch Kingdom: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-antman-exclusive-hires-stills-behindthescenes-photos-75596/

Star Wars
Tons of Star Wars merchandise coming out! First and foremost, Star Wars Rebels is getting a Blu-Ray release of its first season that releases on September.

In addition, Hot Toys (the manufacturer that makes the hyper-realistic and expensive figures from popular movies) have revealed their young Luke Skywalker figure that is set to release next year. Check out Sideshow Collectibles for more information.

Salivates by the detail of the figure.

San Diego Comic-Con
The new Pixar short "Sanjay's Super Team" is set to premier for attendees at SDCC on July 9th. The short features a young boy named Sanjay imagining Hindu gods as a superhero team.

And finally, the Star Wars Force Awakens Storm Trooper will be releasing first at SDCC for members to purchase. I can tell Hasbro is prepared to go all out on this line judging by the popularity of Star Wars toys.

So Incredibles 2 won't be at this year's D23 after all (not totally wicked as Rusty would say, unless it's under the Every Story is a Journey list (more likely they're going to talk about Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory with the Incredibles 2 being teased by it's 1st official image showing off the new look poses for the updated Parr family), next year is more likely as it'll be 3 years from now before the sequel hits theaters, if not Bird's going to continue to toy with his fans until proper news hits, the Pixar Secrets panel looks like a very interesting spot to take a peek at for curiosity's sake (especially if they talk about the Incredibles, but most of us already know about the hidden details on that long ago when they started revealing the film's secrets).

On a side note (not related to the thread and slightly off-topic if it's alright) anyone here a fan of Toho's Godzilla series (besides me of course?) Because I just made another Amazon order on Rodan/War of Gargantuas DVD (both in English and Japanese) and this 1 is going to arrive right before the 4th of July, I've seen the Americanized Rodan but not the Japanese version.

So, there were those rumors about Nintendo teaming up with Disney, that were from a source that has proven to be legitimate in the past.

I'm surprised we didn't talk about it here, as this is a Smash Bros. site.

http://wiiudaily.com/2015/06/nintendo-disney-rumor/



Apparently, this is from the same guy that leaked the Wave 3 Smash amiibos, and said there would be a Skylanders and amiibo collaboration, so, as I said, he has previous legitimacy.

 

[Space Stranger]

Meh, we converse at our own pace. I do agree that I would be the first among many for a Disney x Nintendo partnership. It's like my childhood collided in a beautiful crash. Minus the fatalities.

I can see Mario appearing in Wreck-It Ralph 2 after the huge popularity of and 's appearances in the first film.

Who would be each smash character's Disney counter part?

 

[Space Stranger]

Who would be each smash character's Disney counter part?

Off the top of my head:
- Mickey Mouse and Fix-It Felix
- Donald or Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
- Pete
- Mortimer Mouse
- Pluto
- Either Anna, Rapunzel, Ariel, Snow White, or Cinderella
- Elsa
- Tarzan or Wreck-It Ralph
- Sergeant Calhoun
- Hercules
- Same as above
- Wall-E

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

- Mortimer Mouse

This is the only one I don't get, I guess I can see your going for, but they don't really have that much in common aside from being the anti version of the main hero, though this could just be because I have a basic knowledge of Mortimer . Wario is much well bigger and stronger, and has a much cruder sense of humor, most notably lethal farting. Second he's greed puts him more on par with Scrooge, but that's pretty much all they have in common. Also he runs a game company and rides around on a motorcycle.

 

[Space Stranger]

Waluigi isn't playable so I went with the next best thing.

- Hercules

as Vanellope. Quick Attack in Smash looks like Vanellope's glitching in a way.
that dog in Great Mouse Detective
Cody from Rescuers Down Under for having the ability to communicate with animals.

Now what about?

 

[ShinyGirafarig]

Now what about?

: Mulan
Tiana or Naveen in frog form, depending on what gender you think Greninja is.
: The Big Bad Wolf
: Athena (Disney's Hercules. I believe Palutena is based off Athena)

Little bit at a time, please. I am sure others will contribute.

 

[Opossum]

Now what about?

- Goofy
- Chernabog
- Ariel
- Louis
- Basil of Baker Street
- Bernard and Bianca
- Maleficent's dragon form, or Elliot

- Peter Pan
- Young Peter Pan

- Han Solo
- Christopher Robin
- Merida

These amused me the most. I thought of Chicken Little as Ness because of the baseball bat but was not sure if people would appreciate Ness being compared to a film most consider very weak.

Villager as Christopher Robin is the best especially because of the lore made up about Winnie the Pooh: Homerun Derby.

I figured not only the baseball thing, but also the fact that he's

so connected to aliens.

Also WHOOPS. I said Robin was Robin.

- Maybe Merlin.

Some of these are hillarious, but when I say counterpart, I'm also going for closest in personality type as well, now lets see who's the Disney counter part of every smash fighter by personality! *Extra challenge initiate*!

Too much work. :/





Anyway, I'm hyped for Ant-Man. Apparently, without spoiling anything, news outlets and reviewers who got an early screening say there's not one, but TWO post-credit scenes.

Well then here's an easier challenge, what's the best Disney villain song and Disney hero song, from a Disney tv show? Note. Movie songs don't count only Tv shows, this can either be a live action or animated Disney show.

I honestly cant think of any hero/villain songs from a Disney TV show

 

[Opossum]

Taking Over Midnight is the only hero-song-from-a-tv-show I can think of.

It's catchy.

And &andra is the best pun ever (it's a Ke$ha joke; it's pronounced Ampersandra).

What about villain songs? Surely there must be some.

 

[VioletSmashfan]

- Dash

Then who would the rest of the Parr family's Smash counterparts end up being?

Plus if Mario gets in Disney Infinity (as does Link, and Pikachu, since Disney also wants them in due to them also being beloved icons, especially Pikachu), what about Sonics, Mega Man's and Pac-man's chances (and to an extent Ryu's)? Sonic, Pac-man and Ryu were all in the 1st Wreck-it-Ralph film (and are likely to reappear in the 2nd film), I think they deserve as much of a chance as Mario is getting right now.

Now you've got me thinking what's each Sonic character's Disney counterpart? Also Pokemon heroes vs Disney/Non Disney villains is a thing.

Too.

Much.

Work.

By the way, D23 has an event planned for A Goofy Movie's 20th Anniversary.

 

[Done]

ZooTopia? i saw the teaser for that when i was done seeing Jur. Wrold.
also, Jur. Wrold is BEAST. No kidding.

 

[Opossum]

By the way, D23 has an event planned for A Goofy Movie's 20th Anniversary.

Really?


That makes me unbelievably happy. :D That movie needs so much more love.

Everyone better perform The Perfect Cast to celebrate.

Also I found something

I forgot to mention that they are reuniting the original cast for the event.

So they can have the perfect cast perform the Perfect Cast? :D Meta humor!

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

- Donald or Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Now that I think about it more, Luigi would not be a good counter part for Donald. The only thing they really share is being number 2, however while Luigi kind of accepts it, Donald fights it and goes to be number 1, not to mention he laughs at his friends misery, unlike Luigi. The counter part for Luigi would have to be someone who's overlooked and isn't liked by the majority of people around them, but is a sidekick to a big name hero. A bit cowardly, but has the heart to get the job done and is overlooked by villains. Another thing about Luigi is that he has a dark side (Mr. L) which is actually a threat to the heroes and villains.
I'm not totally sure, but I'm guessing that Oswald has most of those similarities, but I don't know much about him so correct me if I'm wrong. Also are you switching your avatar to promote various Disney franchises?

 

[Space Stranger]

Not really. I changed to Elsa since it easily annoys the Smash 4 Social Thread.

 

[ShinyGirafarig]

Can't stand the Elsa comparisons, I assume? Or Frozen's popularity in general? I used to joke that Frozen is the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic of Disney movies in that it attracts so much ire for what is ultimately harmless entertainment.

It's more of the latter and the fact that I use Elsa related .gifs rather than Woody. It's my punishment to the Premium member who pranked me.

The former applies to the Rosalina Social that gets offended if I refer to their main as "Space Elsa".

 

[Mega Bidoof]

You're green with it.

Inside Out finally beat out Jurassic World!

Also on the Pixar side, new stills from Sanjay's Super Team have been released.

As I've said before, Pixar will speak more on the short at Comic-Con July 9th.

About time Joy got a bite out of those Dinos for 1st place at the box office, and Sanjay looks soo darn adorable, I normally don't find the little male protagonists cute (unless it's Jack-Jack or Ash's Pikachu.)

 

[Space Stranger]

The Behind-the-scenes video from Star Wars The Force Awakens is so kick ass.

I smiled when Han stepped back into the Millennium Falcon.

There is also a giant TIE Fighter on display.

Very interesting. Would really like to see Mario meet up with Mickey.

 

[Space Stranger]

Updated the title.

The latest episode was so good. It excelled in answering questions, humor, and references to already existing characters.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I demand an edited video of that episode with Cave Johnson's lemon rant.
