Live action 1980 to present update

Post by skippy »

Hello gang-
I'm trying to figure out what are the movies that came after the Muppets in the "live action 1980 to present section".

I can't tell if movies like Million Dollar Arm belong in there or not.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Also, Disney produced the family film Earth to Echo (July 2, 2014), but ultimately sold the film's distribution rights to Relativity Media, which is handled by 20th Century Fox. So, depending on how one classifies films based by major studio, Earth to Echo could be a Disney film (production) or a 20th Century Fox film (distribution).

Marvel films are not included as they aren't preceded by the Disney banner/logo, even though Disney owns them now. For that reason, I also didn't include the Star Wars films as I'm assuming they'll open with the Lucasfilm banner ahead of them.

Touchstone movies also weren't included, as they've largely functioned now as a distribution arm for DreamWorks Pictures, which now functions as a production company that licences to distributing studios (with Disney being their current, long-term studio).

Thank you!

I missed out a few, I generally don't classify the DisneyNature films as part of the "Live-Action" genre, but I missed Million Dollar Arm, and Alexander and the No Good, horrible, very bad day releases on DVD.

Is there a reason why that page isn't being updated on the site? It was an awesome reference for reviews and weather or not to even bother looking at the bonus features.

You're welcome! I added the DisneyNature citation for the three films in case you didn't want to include them, haha. I would consider them a list of their own myself, but since I count the full-length True-Life Adventures in my own live-action feature canon list, I figured I might as well count the DisneyNature ones too.

I think Luke's just been focused with reviewing in general so he doesn't update the Disney-specific pages anymore.
