You know, I genuinely do wonder why The Sorcerer’s Apprentice isn’t well-received?

Well I had my awakening yesterday. Because I talked to a family friend of mine I pretty much only see a couple times a year. He knows about my httyd obsession though. We came to compare music playlists, and I don’t know how we came to the topic, but I asked him about The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. 

Turns out, he had never seen it. Didn’t even know it existed. He thought I didn’t know about the Fantasia short with Mickey. I literally told him: “You don’t know that they made a whole movie based on that instrumental short? In 2010?” 

I thought, hey I have to sweeten the pot to entice him to watch it. It was live-action, it had Nicholas Cage. The friend has Secrets by OneRepublic in his playlist, I told him the song’s used three times in the movie, that I’m surprised it wasn’t made for the movie. I threw in that Alfred Molina and Jay Baruchel were in the movie. He knows Alfred Molina because of Doc Ock. (I always have to mention he’s Doc Ock or people don’t know him by name alone) Jay, well I’d have to tell him of Hiccup. This friend wouldn’t know. 

Of the few critiques I read, people were expecting it to be like Harry Potter.  Yet this seems to be the reality, people don’t even know it exists. It surely wasn’t advertised as coming from the Fantasia classic short.

If you want to know what Melissa McCarthy's Ursula Looks like in the upcoming Live Action The Little Mermaid I found this and in Winters of all places. There is no The Little Mermaid stuff out anywhere else but here. I don't know if this is a good sign or not that a discount store is the first to put out merch for a big budget up coming movie.

Walt Disney President of Motion Picture Studios, and Live-Action Remake Guy, Sean Bailey To Leave Disney

It has been announced that Sean Bailey, the president of Disney’s Motion Picture Studios, will be leaving the Walt Disney Company. Bailey is the one who kept turning animated films into live-action movies. Now, he’s leaving his position of almost 15 years but will remain at Disney to produce Tron: Ares. With his exit, David Greenbaum, Searchlight co-president, will be stepping in to replace him.…

The following movie is available to stream on... Of all things... The Criterion Channel...

Perhaps Walt Disney Productions were onto something in 1978...

Disney's live-action movie output of the 1970s tends to get a bad rap. A time when the film division, kind of stuck in time, had become what former Disney story man Steve Hulett once described as a "sleepy backwater" establishment. Not at all tapped into the zeitgeist, seemingly uninterested even. They were making movies that were guaranteed hits... In 1965, that is.

THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE opened almost exactly one summer after the release of STAR WARS, the movie that singlehandedly redefined the escapist fantasy adventure that was almost synonymous with Walt Disney many moons ago. Despite boasting a kooky premise (it's about an alien cat who is marooned on Earth and needs the help of three scientists to repair his ship) and even dabbling in some contemporary fears (largely having to do with the Cold War), it's executed like almost any other run-of-the-mill '70s Disney live-action movie: Workmanlike direction from Disney regular Norman Tokar (in his final film), budget special effects that kinda undercut what should be moments of genuine wonder, and some last-minute Disney live-action cliches; chiefly a bunch of diabolical bad guys who want the cat's interstellar collar to rule the universe. Basically GUS and MY DOG, THE THIEF all over again. This probably looked absolutely embarrassing next to what Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were doing at the time.

And yet, there are plenty of weird little things that make this particular movie charming, from a M*A*S*H star (McLean Stevenson) being in it along with the star that replaced him on that show (Harry Morgan), to the subplot involving a pool hall and the mob. Some of the spaceship stuff may be creative, even if it isn't necessarily STAR WARS-caliber. The lead (played by Ken Berry, of F-TROOP and MAMA'S FAMILY fame, and also Disney's HERBIE RIDES AGAIN) and the cat (voiced by Disney regular and frequent voice actor Ronnie Schell) have a cool dynamic, too. Sandy Duncan is a good addition here, she'd later voice Vixey in THE FOX AND THE HOUND. I think this premise, honestly, could do with a really good remake with a visionary director behind it. Animated, even. But you know Disney wouldn't, lol. They couldn't get a BLACK HOLE remake going, nor a FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR remake, so no way that happens.

But... To see this hidden gem be in the same sentence as "Criterion"... It's currently available to stream on the Criterion Channel, in 2-0-2-4, with another live-action Disney cat movie: This time, a more recognizable one, 1965's THAT DARN CAT! starring Hayley Mills. THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE also, of course, is on Disney+. But can you imagine *this* movie, of all things, earning a spot in The Criterion Collection? As in getting a physical disc release with that "C" logo on it and its release year in a neat little bar?

That was NOT on my bingo card this year.

Sometimes time is kind to things, maybe it was just not where it needed to be in 1978.

I know we all roast the Disney direct-to-video sequels but at least those were new stories which required some semblance of creativity on the part of the filmmakers, however half-assed they ended up being. Now they’re remaking movies that came out literally five minutes ago.

when will people learn that live-action remakes will never be good as their original animated counterparts because the glory of animation is the colour, movement, and fantasy that's just untranslateable to live-action

#the WHOLE POINT of animation is that its NOT live-action #because if it's not live-action then it's not held back by realism #like. mcu costumes don't look the same as their comic counterparts because yes they would look silly! #and mind you the mcu will run too far with that but point being that you use the different mediums of art for different reasons #spiderverse would suck if it was live-action #i haven't watched the live-action atla and i'm not going to for several reasons #avatar the last airbender #winx club #riverdale #the lion king #disney remakes

So we went to see the somewhat controversial remake of the Little Mermaid this week. Now surprisingly there wasn't much in the way of collectables for this no cups or buckets they had one lil pushy thing which is pictured below. I didn't get one of course being I didn't want one.

So we went to see this I personally didn't want to form an opinion on it until I seen the actual movie Now I'm a huge fan of the original movie it came out when I was a kid and I remember going to see it and I remember watching the animated series also on Saturday mornings. I had the movie on VHS as a kid and now I have it on Blu-ray and I do have some Little Mermaid merch around the house So I was a little interested in seeing this being I had enjoyed other previous live-action version like The Jungle Book, Lion King and Aladdin, ect.

now did I love it, No. Did I hate it, No.

I would say it was pretty good and I would say it was better then I thought it would be especially better then the internet wants you to think it is.

Now there is some problems with it which I will get into and some of the good things. Now of course they did change some things in the movie of course in regards to story being I think its more about there are certain things you can easily do in animation that you can't do in Live-Action and some scenes were removed and replaced with others. I would honestly say that this follows the original animated movie about 85-90% alot of it will look and sound very familiar.

There is alot of scenes that are peppered in there that are different, but I would say from the start until Ariel gets her legs and arrives on land it is very similar to the original movie They changed a few things around there where she is at the castle and spending time with Eric its still recognizable just slightly different at parts then from the "Kiss the Girl" sequence until the end its very similar to the original again. I would say it is somewhat faithful to the original movie you can kinda tell what the new bits are when you watch it.

Now one thing this movie has going for it of course is the visuals and it is very nice visually I would have to say all the underwater scenes are pretty much amazing I think it is pretty much on par with Avatar the way of Water in terms of the underwater sea life and environments it does look all extremely realistic and impressive also the Mermaids/Merpeople effects are amazing as well it is extremely nice. Also Ursula was done amazingly well the testicles and everything were perfect! Now I know alot of people complained about the Live-Action versions of characters like Sebastian and Flounder I had no problems with the Live-Action Sebastian I thought he was really well done and voiced well and everything as for say Flounder I thought the voice work was good on him but at the same time I didn't think he looked like Flounder at all! being in that he is like white with black stripes? but in the original he was Yellow with blue stripes I don't see why they couldn't just color him yellow and give him blue stripes?

Now one thing that that I didn't really like was the voice of Scuttle I don't think Awkwafina was right for that. I don't know why I just feel like it didn't fit. as for the other cast I thought Jonah Hauer-King was great as Eric Art Malik as Grimsby was great and the one that surprised me was Melissa McCarthy I'm not a big fan of Melissa McCarthy I feel in every movie I seen her in it always seems like its just Melissa McCarthy playing Melissa McCarthy like she is just being herself but in this it was completely different she was Ursula she looked the part and she acted the part. She looked just like Ursula and I believe that she was perfectly cast for this role and she played it excellently. While watching it your not thinking about Melissa McCarthy its one 100% Ursula. Now as for the most controversial casting choice Halle Bailey as Ariel I know alot of people are mad about this personally I thought she did a pretty good job but with that said if I were to make a live action Little Mermaid I probably wouldn't cast her as Ariel and that is just my opinion being that everyone would have their own idea of how the character should or shouldn't be but other then that I thought everyone did do a pretty amazing job

as for the music its pretty much all in there! I thought their renditions of the classic songs were great "Part of Your World" "Under the Sea" "Kiss the Girl" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" were all beautifully done. I loved all that and the audience that we seen it with was totally into the musical moment when they got to them. and of course there was a few new ones too but I didn't think alot of them where needed like the Song that Eric sings was kinda unnecessary and pretty much just a time filler I thought. and the near the end called Scuttlebutt its alright but again I feel that it was kinda unnecessary and it was basically meant to be pretty much background noise for the scene. but other then that everything else was really well done.

so personally I would say it is a good adaptation of the Animated movie they did follow the animated one somewhat closely with not too many changes but like I said it was pretty good its not the best and of course not the worse. I would just recommend if you are curious and want to see it then go see it and make up your own mind and if you don't want to then just don't go see it thats it. Also the only collectable they seemed to have was these lil plush Ariel dolls.

I’m so glad the Guillermo Del Toro Pinocchio movie is being received really well, because it was literally my most anticipated movie of the year! So here’s some fun facts about the crew, concept, and production that got me excited about this movie and that I think would excite much of tumblr as well:

-the screenplay was cowritten by Del Toro and Patrick McHale, creator of Over The Garden Wall and a writer on Adventure Time.

-the movie was codirected by Mark Gustasfon, who was the animation director of Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

-the primary art/animation designers of this movie (production designer Curt Enderle, art director Robert DeSue, character designer Georgina Hayns, animation supervisor Brian Leif Hansen, and photography director Frank Passingham) previously worked on projects that include Coraline, the Corpse Bride, Paranorman, Isle of Dogs, Frankenweenie, Kubo, and Chicken Run.

-Besides Netflix, it was produced by the Henson company (always a good sign when you’re doing anything with puppets) and ShadowMachine, who have produced a lot of Adult Swim shows including Robot Chicken, Moral Orel, and Tuca and Bertie, as well as the Netflix original BoJack Horseman.

-Del Toro was inspired to make this adaptation due to the similarities he’d always noticed between the original Pinocchio story and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Both are about a man-made character’s relationship with his father/creator, and his attempts to understand what it means to be human. This inspiration is why the film takes on a gothic feel at times.

-the movie is over 10 years in the making. Del Toro announced the project in 2008 and production began in 2012, but it went into development hell and no further updates were made for several years. Del Toro has described it as his passion project, saying "I've wanted to make this movie for as long as I can remember.”

-the backdrop of Mussolini’s Italy was intended to show how Pinnochio was able to find his own humanity and will in a time where everyone else was acting like a blindly obedient puppet. Del Toro wanted to deviate from the original book’s themes of obeying authority by making his Pinocchio virtuous for questioning the rules and forging his own set of morals. (Also if you know anything about Del Toro, the guy likes to dunk on fascism.)

-Del Toro didn’t feel the need to have Pinocchio become flesh-and-blood at the end of the movie, saying all you need to be a real human is to behave like one.

I was lucky enough to see this movie in 35 mm in a movie theatre on Thanksgiving weekend. If there are any movie theatre showings near you and you’re in a position to be able to attend them, I would totally recommend it especially if you can go with loved ones. It was a gorgeous, heartwarming, and magical movie to experience on a big screen and perfect for the late fall/winter holiday season.

I Hate How She Talks About Snow White

"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is − because it needed that. It's an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come. "

Let me tell you a little something's about that "85-year-old cartoon," miss Zegler.

It was the first-ever cel-animated feature-length full-color film. Ever. Ever. EVER. I'm worried that you're not hearing me. This movie was Disney inventing the modern animated film. Spirited Away, Into the Spider-Verse, Tangled, you don't get to have any of these without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937.)

Speaking of what you wouldn't get without this movie, it includes anime as a genre. Not just in technique (because again, nobody animated more than shorts before this movie) but in style and story. Anime, as it is now, wouldn't exist without Osamu Tezuka, "The God of Manga," who wouldn't have pioneered anime storytelling in the 1940s without having watched and learned from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the 1930s. No "weeb" culture, no Princess Mononoke, no DragonBall Z, no My Hero Academia, no Demonslayer, and no Naruto without this "85-year-old cartoon."

It was praised, not just for its technical marvels, not just for its synchronized craft of sound and action, but primarily and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. They felt more like they were watching something true to life than they did watching silent, live-action films with real actors and actresses. They couldn't believe that an animated character could make kids wet their pants as she flees, frightened, through the forest, or grown adults cry with grieving Dwarves. Consistently.

Walt Disney Studios was built on this movie. No no; you're not understanding me. Literally, the studio in Burbank, out of which has come legends of this craft of animated filmmaking, was literally built on the incredible, odds-defying, record-breaking profits of just Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, specifically.

Speaking of record-breaking profits, this movie is the highest-grossing animated film in history. Still. TO THIS DAY. And it was made during the Great Depression.

In fact, it made four times as much money than any other film, in any other genre, released during that time period. It was actually THE highest-grossing film of all time, in any genre, until nothing less than Gone With the Wind, herself, came along to take the throne.

It was the first-ever animated movie to be selected for the National Film Registry. Actually, it was one of the first movies, period, to ever go into the registry at all. You know what else is in the NFR? The original West Side Story, the remake of which is responsible for Rachel Ziegler's widespread fame.

Walt Disney sacrificed for this movie to be invented. Literally, he took out a mortgage on his house and screened the movie to banks for loans to finish paying for it, because everyone from the media to his own wife and brother told him he was crazy to make this movie. And you want to tell me it's just an 85-year-old cartoon that needs the most meaningless of updates, with your tender 8 years in the business?

Speaking of sacrifice, this movie employed over 750 people, and they worked immeasurable hours of overtime, and invented--literally invented--so many new techniques that are still used in filmmaking today, that Walt Disney, in a move that NO OTHER STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD was doing in the 30's, put this in the opening credits: "My sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production." Not the end credits, like movies love to do today as a virtue-signal. The opening credits.

It's legacy endures. Your little "85-year-old cartoon" sold more than 1 million DVD copies upon re-release. Just on its first day. The Beatles quoted Snow White in one of their songs. Legacy directors call it "the greatest film ever made." Everything from Rolling Stones to the American Film Institute call this move one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture. This movie doesn't need anything from anybody. This movie is a cultural juggernaut for America. It's a staple in the art of filmmaking--and art, in general. It is the foundation of the Walt Disney Company, of modern children's media in the West, and of modern adaptations of classical fairy tales in the West. When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.

Sit down and be humble. Who the heck are you?
