Topic: Disney/Pixar Discussion

the Right Stuff (Disney+) - inbetween all the Star Wars, Marvel, & general family fare on offer I found this drama focusing on the Mercury space program as NASA was trying to get a man into space before the Soviets. It was actually a pretty solid watch and hopefully not a one off for these kinds of originals on D+.

Okay I’m dumb

very

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I didn’t even know we had this lmao!

@Snatcher @Kermit1Pineapple I looked beforehand I just couldn’t find it

I’m 2/3rds trough the Macy’s thanksgiving days parade and I haven’t seen a single Strange world trailer. Disney is sending it out to die

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I saw two during the parade.

From some reviews I saw one of the main character is gay and to avoid a press bullet Disney seems to be playing it safe with the marketing.

No comment on the movie because all of you will kill me.

edit: I have not seen it and I won't

@Kermit1Pineapple Thats the only thing I can think of but If Disney was so concerned then why green light the movie at all? And owl houses trailers are very fourth coming about it’s gay couple so I honestly don’t know

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika idk it seems Disney TV and Disney Film are completely different.

_{to be honest I think the movie could have done without that character}

@Kermit1Pineapple one of the co-leads?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika main

@Kermit1Pineapple I think it’s main if there’s a single main character and Leads if it’s multiple main characters. Either way he is one of 3 main characters you can’t just remove a character that important

Just saw Lightyear. I didn’t think that an opening sequence could hit me harder than Up did but Alisha Hawthorne is everything to me. I bawled like a baby for her whole sequence (granted it was longer than Up) and texted my mom. As a massive Toy Story fan (who got a Buzz Lightyear that xmas..still have it too) to have such a badass heroine in my lifetime is priceless… beyond priceless. All I can say is thank you Disney/Pixar. I’m off to buy every toy I can find with her in it.

@Ryu_Niiyama I’m glad someone legitimately likes the movie. I didn’t see it because of all the press it got about being mediocre. I should watch it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I think for anyone that saw the cartoon series that the plot fits. Especially even more so with the angle that this was the (most likely live action) movie Andy saw in 95. If this had come out in 95 I would have had Hawthorne everything in my room. The squad Buzz ends up with was jarring at first until again you think about the cartoon series and you realize that it’s on brand as heck. The twist was fun because it I think was the best measure of Buzz’s growth (the original story wouldn’t have shown Buzz growing as a person imo). I love that despite how serious it was there was still so much of the Pixar humor as well. There was a hint of too much star wars fan influences in some parts but Toy Story has that awkward role of having those influences inherent due to the age of the original creators, the kids that grew up with it not necessarily having that connection as 90s kids and that the new movie is directed by a person that is a decade older than a lot of original Toy Story fans. It’s both too much and just right in a way. I loved all of the design process changes throughout…it makes the Chris Evans pick a bit hilariously on the nose as well.

It’s one of those movies that is jarring only if you just followed toy story (and didn’t pay attention because there are a LOT of callbacks and mirrors in Lightyear) but if you watched buzz light year of star command, Lightyear is somewhere in between presentation/theme wise.

@Ryu_Niiyama I never watched star command. I know the idea is it’s the reason Andy bought the toy (honestly I’m surprised there isn’t a post credit scene of andy in the audience). I’ll watch it at some point despite my problems woth the quality of recent Disney stuff that dosen’t involve witches or frogs

I really love Night at the museum it holds an incredible amount of nostalgia for me. Mabey it’s just the nostalgia talking but this looks legitimately awful

They replaced alot of the actors, disrespectfully recast rosevelt the best character, the animation is awful and none of the jokes landed

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika It will get 21 seasons then

@Kermit1Pineapple it’s a movie. The fact you thought it was a TV show shows just how cheap the animation looks. But even then it has worse animation than most of Disney’s cartoons too. I know I soud like a broken record but the witch and funny frog show have better looking frames than the teaser

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika WHAT! I love those movies I don't want another one. This reminds me of Stuart Little 3.
