According to the Lopezes in that video, "that thing that might be happening in 2016" was Moana!!!! So, yes, most likely, it is a musical!PatrickvD wrote:I hope it's a musical though.
Name one Disney musical that doesn't have comedy.unprincess wrote:yes!
"comedy adventure"
after Frozen's success youd think theyd have more confidence in just announcing it as a fantasy musical film...nope, DONT WORRY IT HAS COMEDY!
CLUCK
But, I have a concern with the choice of animation. They say that they might use the painterly style CG which means half CGI and half hand drawn like from the upcoming short Feast. And now, I fear that they might screw the painterly CG and use CGI instead. Now, I have nothing against CGI and I'm not like 2Disney4ever, but Disney needs to try to step up their game for doing both mediums. Like do one for 2D hand drawn and one for CGI. Or better yet, use a meander. Just a suggestion.
Even though I know they're only saying that because of Tangled's and Frozen's success (we know they wouldn't say anything positive about a "girl" movie 5 years ago), I can't help but be happy about that. Tiana, Ariel, and Megara are some of my favorite characters, so I hope this film keeps them around to make more films in future. Plus, a 14-year old lead? Maybe their first female protagonist not focused on love or in a relationship?

I wouldn't blame Frozen--they abandoned the "painterly" idea on Tangled.Tangled wrote:I'm just hoping that they don't rush the animation. I would be very disappointed if the earlier release date was because they discarded the innovative painterly CGI style that we kept on hearing about. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised. I'll blame Frozen and its popularity.
How they decide to use or not use a character in a merchandise line after the fact has no bearing on how good a character will be in the film itself. And that's all that matters, imo. Besides, non-white characters still have a right to be included in film regardless. I'm sure M&C didn't start this movie just to add another non-white character to the princess line...Mach Full Force wrote:Unpopular opinion: I wish Disney would cancel/shelf this movie.

We all know that if they do include her in the Princess line, she'll just gradually be shoved into the background just like Pocahontas, Mulan and Tiana. It won't do much to help. (And before you mention Big Hero 6, keep in mind most of the marketing has been focused on Baymax rather than the mostly POC main characters, so...)
I bring up Alice from Alice In Wonderland because she wasn't focused on romance or in a relationship. And don't forget Lilo from Lilo and Stich.Disney's Divinity wrote:"Another girl-powered film"?

Plus, I'm excited because this film will definitely feature the ocean pretty heavily (as well as "enormous sea creatures and mythic figures").
