I have a hard time getting excited about Zootopia. Movies starring animals don't really interest me. I much prefer human-centered ones. I wish Byron Howard was directing Giants and Nathan Greno was doing Zootopia instead. I just think Byron is more talented and has a better understanding of storytelling as well as musical structure, and now with Frozen's success he wouldn't have to hold back on that aspect like they did with Tangled. Giants would have been a great opportunity to get his hands on a more challenging project of a larger scale. Zootopia seems like a much smaller, confined film in comparison. Of course, that's purely speculation on my part.Prince Kido wrote:Zootopia is very exciting and I truly can't wait.

I've always liked Disney's animal-centered movies, but rather the naturalistic ones. But this project doesn't sound appealing to me. It seems too "Madagascar".Sotiris wrote:I have a hard time getting excited about Zootopia. Movies starring animals don't really interest me. I much prefer human-centered ones.
To be honest, I lost respect for both of them (and Lasseter) when I learned that Menken and Slater were not allowed to come up with their own ideas. Of course there could be various (oconomical) reasons for it, but still. But I'm looking forward to "Giants", since it's seem more as a classical Disney fairy tale. I would like if it was better than "Tangled" and "Frozen".I wish Byron Howard was directing Giants and Nathan Greno was doing Zootopia instead.

It's my understanding that was mandated by studio management (i.e. Lasseter). It's weird though that the studio gave the Lopez team the go-ahead for a full-blown musical and gave them such creative carte blanche to the point the directors rewrote the entire film based on their idea for Let It Go and Elsa's character. You'd think they'd want to replicate Tangled's musical structure as it was their biggest hit under Lasseter. It looks like a blatant case of favoritism to me.DisneyFan09 wrote:To be honest, I lost respect for both of them when I learned that Menken and Slater were not allowed to come up with their own ideas.

"In one year...Zootopia. March 4, 2016.
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”), opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.

We don't mean to pick favorites is any way
I'll be honest, I haven't explored commentaries/behind-the-scenes info enough to differentiate between Greno and Howard, since all I know them by is Tangled. I don't think either one of them should be anywhere near a musical, imo. What's the reason you see Howard as better than Greno?

Well, from the various interviews they gave for Tangled and Bolt I get the sense the Byron has a deeper, more 'classical' understanding of story structure and character development than Greno. Greno seems to have a more contemporary, Hollywood-ish approach to story. Also, I know that Byron loves Broadway musicals and that his favorite Disney film is The Little Mermaid. It's little stuff like that. Nothing really concrete.Disney's Divinity wrote:I'll be honest, I haven't explored commentaries/behind-the-scenes info enough to differentiate between Greno and Howard, since all I know them by is Tangled.
