Maybe animation really is dying.

Someone’s gonna hafta save it

 

[Z25]

Agree on Finding Nemo - it's a beautiful film, but I never found the story or characters that engaging

And Cars is just a bizarre idea
"What if toys were alive", "what if monsters lived in their own societies" and "what if superheroes had mundane lives" are all interesting questions, but has anyone other than John Lasseter really thought "wow, what if cars lived in societies?"

Now if they actually explored how the cars overthrew society, that would honestly make the film more memorable. I’ve seen cars so many times but I still barely remember it. I like pretty much everything Pixar puts out, but not everything they make is a game changer

I've seen both Incredibles 2 and TS4. Incredibles 2 isn't even comparable to the first one, and TS4, regardless of whether or not you think it's good, is easily the worst of the four films.

After seeing the reviews for both movies, I'm wondering if Disney is paying these critics to leave good reviews, because I feel like I saw a completely different movie from what the critics saw.

That’s your opinion though, which is completely fair and your entitled to it. It’s early for toy story 4, but incredible 2?

I can’t tell you how much my social media and YouTube feed blew up upon release of the film. So many people who weren’t critics seem to love it. I haven’t seen to much criticism other then towards the bad guy. Of course everyone will see things differently. However I can’t say I that incredibles 2 seemed to receive poor feedback

Cosmic77, you sound like those everyday annoying critics. What you said is not true at all.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

I’m sorry but that doesn’t belong in the “examples of getting worse” pile.

Yeah, Inside Out is my favorite Pixar film

I'm wondering if you're aware of people can have different opinions. I liked Incredibles 2 better than the first one.

According to Joe Serebii himself, whenever you beat a gym leader in Sword and Shield there’s a little animation of you and your Pokémon celebrating.

That’s freakin’ wholesome

I've been playing Bloodstained and I can't express how happy I am that the game turned out to be good. For reference, the last proper Metroidvania-style Castlevania game was Order of Ecclesia and that was over ten years ago.

Honestly Toy Story 4 is the only one of the non-Cars 3 (since 2 was a mess) Pixar sequels that live up to the original.

Finding Dory, Incredibles 2, and Monsters University were such notable steps down from what came before them, and often times went against what made the originals so good. Definitely excited for Onward. Hoping it'll be more like Inside Out and Coco than, say, The Good Dinosaur.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

One would almost think that with guaranteed money-makers like the MCU and Star Wars in their pockets, and a rich history in the medium, Disney would be one of the few animation studios in a position to take risks, no?

 

[Cosmic77]

I'm wondering if you're aware of people can have different opinions. I liked Incredibles 2 better than the first one.

I never said people can't have different opinions. People can say Sticker Star was better than TTYD. Their opinion isn't wrong, but that doesn't mean a majority of people will agree with them.

Ehh... Guess it's just me then. Maybe it's because I'm comparing it too much to Toy Story 2. After all these years, that movie is still one of Pixar's best films.

Still, I stand by my opinion that it's the weakest of the four films. They didn't utilize the old cast enough, and most of the new cast, aside from Forky and Gabby Gabby, is just sitting there in the background.

Yeah, but Disney isn't interested in innovating, they're interested in continuing the growth of their near-monopoly of the entertainment industry.

Luckily, Disney has never had the best luck in the video game industry, so at least my fears of them acquiring Nintendo and ruining everything I hold dear to my heart won't come true in the foreseeable future.

A few years ago we had Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Frozen, great Disney movies back to back! Now we have a buncha remakes of varying quality (usually bad)

Reminds me of when there was Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, great Disney movies back to back! Which lead to a buncha sequels of varying quality (usually bad)

It goes in cycles

If not a sequel, then a live-action remake. All four of those films you listed already have one.

 

[Noipoi]

I’m just sayin if they screw up the lilo and stitch remake it’s on sight

Y’aint gonna mess wit my childhood

 

[ColietheGoalie]

Also Disney has already been churning out low-budget sequels of every beloved animated movie for decades. Movies like Aladdin 3: Aladdin and the King of Thieves or Cinderella III: A Twist in Time are things you know.

Oh no was browsing the thread and just realised that there was a Paper Mario discussion last night and I missed it dammnit

Might as well use this opportunity to spread the good word that a Paper Mario style for Mario Maker would be ****ing sick but ain't ever happening and I can kind of see why to be fair

They took Lion King and literally sucked its soul dry, and got away with it. I don't see how Lilo and Stitch turns out any different.

SMB2 theme is happening and nobody can convince me otherwise.

They made a whole new section for themes with different mechanics, and there is one mainline Super Mario Bros. game that is known for having different mechanics. The “Other themes” section was actually made SMB2.

still find it interesting that preview copy guidelines are saying 'you can only show the playable characters mario, luigi, toadette, and toad', presumably indicating that peach is playable in some way (maybe for completing story mode)

adding peach to the cast would give you every playable SMB2 character

that would actually be sick though

a mario 64 style would feel a bit too rough on the eyes for a 2019 game imo

 

[Gyrom8]

I kind of want a Mario Land/Land 2 theme just so we can play stages in a black and white/black and green colour scheme

Also if we do get a SMB2 theme and don't get a playable Peach, when the rest of the gang is playable, that'll be a damn shame

I do not trust the Lilo and Stitch remake in the slightest. Almost all live action remakes of cartoons absolutely suck in one way or another, and it's not just a Disney thing either. Look at all the anime adaptations, look at how massacred Avatar: TLA, look at Jem and the Holograms, The Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Flintsones, Bayformers, Teenage Michael Ninja Turtles, etc. All suck in one way or another.

Given this today's age I guarantee the live-action Hunchback won't be as dark as the animated film. Mark my words.

It doesn't have Jill on it, but it's still Resident Evil, so I figured you'd wanna at least see it.

I ****ing love it.


While you're here from the grave, I saw Kakegurui season 2 just released.

Gonna watch it?

More the reason I despise these soulless and lifeless live-action Disney remakes. They don't have the spirit as the animated films did plus what's even the point in them given they're just repeating the same story?

I betch you that the live-action Pinocchio movie is gonna remove Jiminey Cricket because Disney wants Pinocchio to be independent and prove himself all on his own. Mark my words.
