We need another 2D animated movie from Disney.

 

[Deleted member]

Space Jam,

Wait is this a joke or did they obtain the ability to do that

 

[ClaTheBae]

So, Got a question.

Would something like this, but with the portraits being 3D modelled and the sprites being 8-bit look jarring?

depends on if it's shovel knight 8-bit or super mario bros 8-bit, cause one definitely looks better than the other

Can you really call Lilo a Disney princess

pretty sure you cant but I remember back then people are like "why isn't she one"

 

[Wademan94]

I have a hard time saying he saved her when she was the one who made the decision to go in the first place though. And then when Tremaine tried to keep her from being fitted for the slipper, she essentially saves herself, since the animals helped her because she was actually kind to them.

Whenever she's in a jam and someone does help her, it's never Charming, or even a man in general...just the Fairy Godmother and Gus/Jacques/Bruno. And even then they only help her get things back that were wrongly taken from her in the first place. Any forward progress she made, she made on her own.

Exactly, even if she couldn’t save herself on her own, I still feel like she put in the effort she needed and did everything she could do. Another reason to why I hate the portrayal of her in the remake.

It's Mario Bros. 8-bit but with less trashy colors.

That's a really cool take on it. I hadn't really given Cinderella that much thought. But, you're right.

What I've found difficult in writing female characters is the fine line between conventional feminine expectations and tropes. I feel that many attempts at writing strong female characters in media of the last decade have been trying too hard and end up making a trope all its own. A character can be a strong character regardless of gender without being squeezed through a stereotypical male lead cookie cutter, but gender dynamics have been so static for so long that people genuinely don't seem to know how to differentiate "strong" and "male" characteristics.

To me, I look at the live action remakes through the same lens I look at, say, stage performances of the films. None hold a candle to the originals, but I like seeing the little alterations they make to the stories. Like King Louie being a gigantopithecus instead of an orangutan, since those at least lived in India at some point and also made him more of a threat. Or how they took the really problematic "ten years" line out of Be Our Guest, considering those two words caused almost two decades of timeline debates.

That being said, the fact that live action Mulan straight up won't include any of the songs made it dead on arrival by this metric lol.

 

[Deleted member]

Cinderella is the Susan Storm of the Disney Princess.

Some people say that she is one of the most generics, but when you actually watch the movie you start to realize how underrated she is in regards to character development to the point that it may even end up as one of your personal favourites.

 

[PsySmasher]

Oh they are remaking Lilo and Stitch too.
They have a lot of remakes in mind.

What are all of the Disney movies that are being remade?
Lilo and Stitch, Dumbo, Space Jam, Lion King, Aladdin and anything else I missed?

Space Jam is a Disney movie?

Since when?

 

[ClaTheBae]

Indeed.

all I heard about was a sequel with Lebron

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

It's not

Shiny just got a bit confused

That project morphed into a remake

Ya and the sequels [at least the second movie] throws it all away

 

[ClaTheBae]

That is the remake

Wait it's a remake and not a sequel? Is Michael Jordan no longer canon?

 

[Deleted member]

While we’re talking about movies, why does Hollywood feel olbiged to cram John Cena or The Rock into everything? xD

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

The first model for my game is being made!

Spoiler: Model

 

[Opossum]

I mean that's kind of the case for like 90% of Disney's Direct to Video sequels.

I like to pretend that The Hunchback of Notre Dame never got a sequel.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Gets them money.

I know Mulan is a great story and very relevant to modern society and it likely won't be a bad movie at all.

But I genuinely enjoy the music more than the film itself.

Don't forget how they used to throw Adam sandler into everything

>Marvel “fans”: “Susan Storm is soooo useless! She can only turn herself invisible and make stupid shields... That just sucks!”
Susan Storm: *Stops Silver Surfer’s freaking board (which can go faster than light) with a single shield, prevents any being from breathing by surrounding their heads with a strong sphere shield and is able to stop celestial bodies or turn any huge structure invinsible with enough focus and concentration*

>Disney “fans”: “Cinderella is a bland character who just marries a prince and nothing else! What could she teach the viewer?”
Cinderella: *makes a critic to parental/family abuse, treats the fear about being aparted from the world or home slavery and teaches the importance of opening ourselves to the world*

Probably marketing.

I have not seen Mula before, only clips.
Is that a crime?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Like come on Disney there's still so many classic fairy tales or public domain stories you've yet to had done.

Imagine one being done on the story of Frankenstein, The Modern Prometheus? That'd make a pretty decent adaptation.

Doesn’t Universal own Frankenstein?

I don’t know how helpful this response is but how I define a strong character regardless of gender is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, any obstacles that they come across. That’s what makes a character interesting and relatable.

 

[Deleted member]

I do not know if this is a bad idea, but they should make a Fire Emblem game about where a protagonist tries to overthrow the monarchy, and at the end they make a democracy.

Ya you should watch it is a pretty good movie and the music is amazing

They've been trying to do a Don Quixote movie for a good 70 years now...

Every single attempt has resulted in nothing

Yeesh, where was that in the Rise of the Silver Surfer?!

 

[Rie Sonomura]

You know what Disney movie would REALLY benefit from a live action remake?

Treasure Planet.

pls

Speaking about female stereotypes, here's one of my favorites from movies, but summed up in a Shantae image that I conveniently found a few minutes ago!

Spoiler

 

[Deleted member]

The writers of those two movies were stupid.
Did you know that Susan Storm can turn anything she wants invisible? The writers of the first movie didn’t, because if that wasn’t the case a huge part of the bridge scene based on a joke involving her wouldn’t even be there.

I really hate that scene for literally nerfing a huge part of Susan’s powers just for a joke.

 

[staindgrey]

Did the clips have music?

Then no.

I have like no memory of the clips. I did get spoiled the villain's death but hey that does not matter too much, right?

If you ask me, the villain was the weakest part of the otherwise quality movie...

I can't even remember his name

But how else would they be able to capitalize on Jessica Alba’s hotness to appeal to the teenage and young adult male demographic?!
It’s not like that’s the target demographic for comic book readers already...

Sue Storm-Richards is arguably the most dangerous hero in the Marvel universe. She can instantaneously create a shield bubble within anyone's brain and expand it to make the whole thing pop with absolutely no effort.

Spoiler: She's also a total bad***.

Ya the final villain is the least memorable of all the villains so you didn't get your fun spoiled knowing that
