Re: Big Hero 6

The point is that it is perfectly valid for people to find them casting a white person in an Asian role offensive. They don't need your permission to feel that way, or your agreement that it is a "real-world problem" for it to be so. :) I know it's the in thing to be retroactive, but I co...

Re: Big Hero 6

Neil Patrick Harris and Jane Lynch also have had several roles. A few cases don't change the point. Derek Jacobi. Ian McKellen. Nathan Lane. John Gielgud. Even Harvey Fierstein has played straight roles. What *is* the point? Because there's nothing but speculation and supposition to suggest this is...

Re: Big Hero 6

And about her concern about Hiro being voiced by a white person (if rumors turn out to be true)... Am I the only one who is agreeing with her? I think that if your character is culturally different, you should do your damndest to get an accurate voice. That's why I appreciate Pocahontas; even if so...

Re: Big Hero 6

Teasers are aptly named. I doubt we'll see any of the other characters come Thursday. One thing I haven't heard considered--Marvel has another comic property coming to the big screen three months before BH6 . I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any real footage until much closer to Guardians of ...

Re: Toy Story of Terror! (TV Special)

There's no pre-order for Amazon for this yet is there? Searching "Toy Story of Terror Blu-ray" doesn't yield results... but it's happened before where searching for something like that didn't show up (last year, when The Muppet Movie came out on Blu-ray lol). There are announcements every...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

The idea of Elsa losing her powers also sounds interesting. As long as there's nothing like "Elsa falls in love with the Fire Prince Zuko " or Elsa meeting other benders ala Rise of the Guardians/Avatar everything will be fine. My concern is that there would be some sort of explanation wh...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

But it is not likely it would be put into production quickly like a Cars sequel Yeah, there are other films to make between now and then.

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

This is so freakin' far off-topic. More importantly, it shows that your idea that "princess" fairy tales aren't hitmakers for Disney is ridiculous. Yeah, I never said that. I don’t understand why you have such a problem with admitting SB’s failure. Because I don't classify a film that does...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

I already know Sleeping Beauty didn't make much beyond its budget on first release. That doesn't make it a failure, and you're condescension doesn't affect me either way. Stop pretending SB is anything like Treasure Planet , Atlantis , or The Black Cauldron , all films with extremely high budgets t...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

Your doubt is irrelevant to the facts. Read one of the histories of the studio, or one of Walt’s biographies, or even the official company line in The Art of Walt Disney or Disney’s Art of Animation . Your idea of "facts" is irrelevant . You go read one of the histories, or biographies or...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

But I think it's pretty easy to tell that a theatrical sequel to a fairy tale that's come the closest any of their films has to reaching The Lion King (their last big seller) in a world where 3D sequels to successful original films generally do well will do well. Whatever happens to Big Hero 6 or G...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

If you're talking about Sleeping Beauty with that second one--it was not financially unsuccessful. It's budget was just too big for its profit, the same problem Tangled had. Moreover, that does nothing to change the fact that every film that has revived Disney has been a fairy tale princess film. T...

Re: Frozen 2 (2018?)

Walt topped pigs with pigs on multiple occasions, as has the Disney company in general. I agree, considering their comeback has been with a fairytale princess film 3 times now (first Cinderella , then The Little Mermaid , and now Frozen ). And 2018 is four years away. I personally don't think that ...
