General Disney Discussion

[LIQUID12A]

I'm thinking about buying Big Hero 6 on DVD whenever it comes out. Never got to when it was in theaters because back then, I wasn't all that interested in it. I am now.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Why haven't I learned of this magical place?

 

[Space Stranger]

Why haven't I learned of this magical place?

Because it has been buried for a few months and was only revived by the sands on time.

I decided to incorporate the link in my signature.

There's no shame in helping bring in more Disneytalk.

 

[Opossum]

On Frozen, I like the movie a lot. That being said, I DO think it's overhyped. Though it still also saddens me a bit when people outright hate it due to its overhype-ness. Like seriously. People swear it's either the second coming or the devil incarnate. There's middle ground, people.

Going to see Big Hero 6 tonight actually. My campus gets movies for its theater in the interim between regular theater time and the DVD/BluRay release, haha. Excited!

I'm still waiting for the unvealing of a sixth emotion for Inside Out that's male and orange: Surprise. Those familiar with social psychology might know why this is my current theory about the movie. Essentially, it equalizes male and female emotions, gives the six major colors of the rainbow, and completes the six universal emotions.

Favorite Disney Film? The Hunchback of Notre Dame. No questions asked. :D

[KingofPhantoms]

Movie-wise: I'm hoping to see Big Hero 6 and Into the Woods sometime soon.

___

Animated shows-wise....has anyone else looked into Star vs. the Forces of Evil?

I actually think it looks pretty fun and clever, but I'll have to wait for some more episodes to come out first before I can really give a strong opinion on it.

 

[Opossum]

Saw Big Hero 6 last night! Really liked it!

Spoiler

I thought I spoiled myself with a youtube comment that had a million thumbs up saying that Yokai was Tadashi, so there actually WAS a feeling of surprise for me. Still wish I didn't spoil the Stan Lee thing though. That, and "I am satisfied with my care" tore up my insides. Iron Giant all over again, man. Actually a lot of it reminded me of that movie. "Baymax, destroy," too. "Is that what Tadashi would have wanted?"

In other words, lots of laughs and lots of feels. I also like how the chip kept Baymax's memories, as noted when he says Hiro's name upon reboot.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

It's amazing how Tadashi is gone for a majority of the movie yet he's a central component of the entire story.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I love how Big Hero 6 has the balls to hide a reference to

Half Life.

They sure seem to be excited about it what with how much the commercial comes on XD. I agree, it looks like it'll be fun. On a side note, I only hope there isn't much of a romance aspect in there somewhere. I got a feeling there won't be, but hey, it's a disney cartoon about someone fighting evil along with her male sidekick, and well, I saw how Kim Possible ended so it's a maybe.

 

[Nino Rybicki]

I'm kinda against the idea of a fourth movie. The third movie had a good ending. Also, I don't want the toys to lose another owner. I mean, Jessie had to deal with both Emily and Andy outgrowing her. Woody had to deal with his beloved Bo Peep being sold. I think it would put too much stress on them if Bonnie outgrew them.

 

[dezeray112]

Well, Toy Story 4 will certainly be interesting.

Also my fave Disney movies include Frozen and Wreck It Ralph.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I seriously doubt they'd try to give the toys yet another new owner after Bonnie. Toy Story 3 pretty much ended and wrapped up the toy's life and story with Andy with them being passed onto Bonnie, I really don't think they would go in that direction all over again. The folks at Pixar seem to know better than to try and rehash something that would have (and did) have a great effect just once. The execution of it was perfect, it's not something they can just do again, and I'm sure Pixar is well aware of that.

That said, Toy Story 3 sort of wrapped the entire movie franchise as a whole up pretty well. So I do still have my doubts on the fourth film....

 

[L9999]

Wait, another Toy Story movie? NO, PIXAR JUST NO! Incredibles needs a sequel, Toy Story is over! NO!...It better not suck. And as a new one around, my favorite Disney movies are The Black Cauldron and Great Mouse Detective. You read right, I like The Black Cauldron.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Personally I think Disney XD is better than Disney Channel nowadays.

I mean, it has Kick Buttowski, Randy Cunninghan, Wander Over Yonder (at least here in Latin America it's only transmitted there), even the Marvel Universe block shows despite all the hate they gather (which Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. totally deserves by the way) have episodes that range from average to epic (Planet Doom, anyone?).

Sure, it has some boring shows like Slug Terra and some bad sitcoms, but if we compare the number of the latter of both channels... ugh, there's a reason why most Disney fans don't want to talk about it. Only good things on Disney Channel right now are Gravity Falls and the ocassional decent Phineas & Ferb episode, it's even worse here as they have a novel of their own called Violetta that for some reason they love to spam.

XD does have better action shows, also this thread really is hidden, good thing its linked in a signature. Though what are the top 10 worst Disney channel/XD shows of all time, and what are the 10 best Disney channel/XD shows of all time

 

[Raccoonman_900]

Wow, I didn't know a thread like this existed.! I love Disney! Grown with them since childhood. But, right now I'm seeing the talk about Toy Story 4 in this thread, and… I'll wait and see what happens with it. I'm not against it, but I'll act positive.

You live in Mexico/South America? Because I share the pain. Violetta sucks, and I don't know why it has a lot of fangirls. Honestly, I don't watch Disney Channel at all. I just surf through it in sad hopes of seeing Black Cauldron, Great Mouse Detective, or any good Disney film made before 2000. I grew to hate Phineas and Ferb, is like the Ben 10 of Disney channel, but unlike Ben 10 this doesn't die.

Some of their older shows were really good.

 

[Zzuxon]

I'll tell you guys what.
Big Hero 6 is really, REALLY good.
I'm so sick of movies with anti-science messages, they really piss me off.
That is the main why I loved Big Hero 6 so much, it portrayed science as being just as wonderful and exciting as it really is, and that technology is a positive part of our lives. I truly feel like there are smart kids out there today who are going to go into science or engineering because they were inspired by Big Hero 6.
I also really loved the characters, especially Baymax and Honey Lemon.

Spoiler

I am also in Tadashi denial. I have head canon to explain away his death.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Any one here seen Atlantis the Lost Empire, its really good.

 

[L9999]

Yes, it's OK, but it's no way in the garbage tier like many paint it. Chicken Little and Home in the Range belong in the garbage tier.

Well, P&F is a cash-cow right now...it won't die anytime soon.

Yeah Yodaladleeedleadleew to Home on the Range, it wasn't very good.

And they dared to spit in my good memories of A New Hope. Making Star Wars a musical is a sin. The greatest of sins. Is like making Tom and Jerry talk, hey wait a minute! Every frame of that special killed my childhood basically. Avengers+PandF was awful and made the heroes look like dorks, but their Star Wars special, ugh...if they ruin the Empire Strikes Back I will die. Attack of the Clones was better than this garbage.

 

[toadster101]

God, I'm so sick of Frozen. I know that Disney isn't going to prematurely slaughter one of their beefiest cash cows, but I hope they "let it go" sooner or later. The amount of Olaf merchandise I see in stores is downright insulting.

Not to mention Olaf was the JarJarBinks of the movie. He did nothing.

You might as well brace for a ESB ruining. Disney can do what they want with it.

Small credit where it's due, but he did find Anna against all common sense when nobody else could. Otherwise agree, if not to a Jar Jar comparison extent.

The only Olaf we should be seeing more of is this Olaf,

(does anyone know the video where this Olaf sings I'm blue, its an Advance Wars comedy film)

To be honest the only thing I would want to see if they did Empire would be the carbonite scene. They need to revive some of the old Disney channel cartoons.

Chicken Little was just Disney's poor attempt at copying Shrek back when DreamWorks was stealing Disney's spotlight. I remember not liking it all that well back when I got it on DVD. Don't get me started on how mean-spirited it was. The protagonist's father was just downright terrible towards his own child.

Not to mention Olaf was the JarJarBinks of the movie. He did nothing.

At least he doesn't have a stupid voice.

As much as I like Olaf, I do agree that he's all over the place when it comes to the merchandising. You know, like the movie he came from.

They were also trying to show they could survive without Pixar in the CGI department.

Only 'till Tangled the started to. Bolt was awesome tho.

The only good CGI movies from pre-Lasseter Disney were Bolt and Meet the Robinsins. Imagine if Disney went through with Circle 7 animation, we might have gotten a less-stellar Toy Story 3 and Monsters Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise.

Funny how things turn out in the end. Now if only Pixar gets their Golden-age mojo back with Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur.

Yeah, Disney wouldn't survive if it weren't for Pixar's involvement. If it weren't for Tangled, then Disney would've been screwed in the end.

I own Bolt on DVD, so I need to watch it someday. I hear it's one of Disney's better animated movies during their third dork age.

Not to mention that Shrek was made 4 years before Chicken Little and the CG looked glorious and CL's looks primitive.

Stop Hating P&F!

 

[LIQUID12A]

It seriously hurts that Gravity Falls and Star Wars Rebels are the only things I'd watch on a Disney channel. Even after the Marvel and Star Wars crossovers, I was neutral to P&F, but in comparison to GF, I'm beginning to dislike it greatly.

 

[dezeray112]

Watched The Big Hero 6 yesterday and I loved it.

 

[Opossum]

With Home on the Range...eh. It's not AS bad as a lot of folks say, it's just...missing the "heart" factor, I guess. I did love the songs though, particularly You Ain't Home on the Range and Yodel-Aidle-Eedle-Idle-Oo.

That and I liked the jackrabbit guy. But the film was just missing the heart.

As for Chicken Little, I like it pretty much solely for the side characters, haha. Gotta love the fish. That and Turkey Lurkey. RIP Don Knotts.


I really didn't care for Dinosaur though.


And Atlantis needs a LOT more love. As does Treasure Planet.

Of other movies that need love The Black Cauldron and the package movies from the 40s. What is this "Dinosaur" you speak of?
