With the announcement of Disney Movies Anywhere being expanded to more devices and services now, I'm wondering if we should consider opening up a separate thread for DMA or keep it part of DMR since they essentially work off each other. I didn't realize they WERE the same thread-- DMR is for what g...

Now all we need is a "Martian" mashup set to "Put On Your Sunday Clothes".

Lord Akiyama wrote:It's interesting that the last two films under the deal with Disney are both Spielberg-directed films, Bridge of Spies and The BFG, the latter being the first Spielberg-directed feature to be released by Walt Disney Pictures.

(Seeing as War Horse was released under Touchstone.)

So little, he knows... Uh, I believe the general point was: Again, the industry has nothing wrong with women directing, IF... It's that key word that always makes the difference, and "If" is hardly ever "When". :( It particularly shouldn't be a complaint in animation, where directors are "invisible...

...Brenda's off her meds again, huh? :P Again, the industry has nothing wrong with women directing, if they can actually put their own issues aside and DIRECT a movie. (Hello, Kathy Bigelow waves that Oscar she's holding?) As the joke goes, "We let you direct movies, and how did you repay us?--'Yent...

.. not to mention why Kida, Eilonwy and Maid Marian aren't . :| Think they explained that, too: Kida temporarily gave up her princesship to go exploring (in the vidquel/pilot), Eilonwy's kingdom was destroyed, Giselle never did get around to marrying the prince, and Maid Marian was a ward of the ca...

Tricky question--Together, they're considered "princesses" for the general sake of marketing, but Elsa is clearly identified as "Queen", and therefore disqualified. That's one of the technical stickler reasons they avoided the "Princess Coronation" stunt they did for Rapunzel and Merida. (They alrea...

It's okay technically (got it free on UV for participating in that Warner-survey thing), and Timm certainly wanted to "avenge" his genius, but it still doesn't solve the basic problem dogging Warner/DC right now: Why exactly are we supposed to root for heroes we hate? It was the same problem when DC...

With anyone else, a cartoon adaptation (at least done with a serious comic-book style, unlike Jumanji) would have been sweet-- But we have already learned our lesson five times to keep TV cartoons FAR AWAY from Spielberg. You'd think we would have caught on after the first time. :shock: The spinoffs...

Yeah, was about to mention that-- They've used T&J to cross-market every other Warner product (Sherlock Holmes, Wizard of Oz), so again, they're the "safe" Warner-toon icons to lead into Scooby and H-B. Still, good thing they're getting back to respecting Jonny Quest again-- Used to be, during the G...

Oh, there's no question that Bill & Joe took MGM over to Hanna-Barbera: Besides Yakky, Yogi was the Ed Norton bear who kept dancing with Tom whenever Jerry turned on the music, Huckleberry Hound was the slow-drawling wolf from the Droopy cartoons (with singing Clementine replacing whistling Jubelo),...

Technically, Alice 2 isn't a "Burton film"... ;) Ah, yes, noted, it's James "Muppets Most Wanted" Bobin hired from Former Disney Hit Directors R Us to direct a Burton film on demand. I have a theory about all this. Most people are selective about what movies they pay to go see in theatres, due to t...

("Straight Outta Compton's Oscar potentials" (giggle!)...
Someone's due for a lot of Joy or Sadness betting on that one.)

Not only that, but apparently this could be part of a "Hanna-Barbara Cinematic Universe", with CG-animated movies based on Scooby-Doo, Flintsones, Jetsons and Tom & Jerry all being a part of that universe. Yeah, Warner's leading the studio charge to think that "If we have a recognizable brand-name,...

There were a lot of excited fans for Alice Through The Looking Glass and I think the footage they presented showed some promise. Mia Wasikowska was present to introduce the clip and talk briefly about reuniting with the cast after roughly six years. A nice set up for the film. With Sascha Cohen (we...
