Raya and the Last Dragon review up! https://animatedviews.com/2021/raya-and-the-last-dragon-film/ Long story short: so much wasted potential. I can completely imagine higher-ups at Disney having a similar conversation as The Itchy & Scratchy producers! “Today’s girls want a princess with attitude. ...

We were going to get just as many cheap deconstructionist jokes in a proposed CGI-hybrid Pepe LePew movie a few years back, but A) Yogi Bear eventually killed the trend at Warner overnight, and B) Director Max Landis was reportedly a little too life-imitates-art on the set. Still listed as in limbo,...

I mean, they wouldn't be making Space Jam 2 if there weren't people who liked the first one... ...OH, YOU POOR SWEET SUMMER CHILD!!!! :lol: Of course not, Warner would never be that desperate to flog the one association they think they can still make with their Looney franchise, in the starving sea...

No, that was referring to the "Mean establishment people are picking on the poor, innocent misunderstood OUTCASTS!" Katzenberg-era bully-persecution-complex plots of post-Renaissance 90's Disney, which teetered off a cliff in Pocahontas, and plummeted rapidly toward melodramatic soapbox kitsch in th...

Believe me, the second movie will clinch the decision. Saw that one in theaters, lord help me. -_-

Chuck Jones named it Gossamer. Good enough for me. I don't consider "Duck Dodgers & the Return of the 24th-1/2th Century" good enough for anyone , but I'm not sure if I'm alone on that. :? If you consider post-retirement Chuck and his sudden 80's-00's burst of self-referencing narcissism, to be "re...

I have no idea what Hunchback or Lilo have to do with it :? , but to graciously answer your question, no: I have never, ever, ever, EVER entertained the ideas that Hunchback, Lilo and Frozen were not bad movies. I can't recall a single instance of that occurring since leaving the theaters. :lol: (Oo...

Well, yes. (Oh, wait, "Cars 2", so this is a bad thing, right?)

But since we're talking about the movies Lee is studio-mogul producing, Lasseter's would be more like Bolt, Tangled and Meet the Robinsons.

Well, the jury of the future is still weighing in on how well the Nature-Goddess Elsa movie (another symptom of the same disease) outlives its Record-Breaking Front-Loaded Opening, but I won't begrudge. Wasn't a bad movie, and if "Asian Moana With a Plot" also seems to be getting a current surfeit o...

What was the other, the WandaVision finale, the Mandalorian premiere, or Hamilton?

Now to see if Raya proves leggy.

Or whether Disney's new heroines-over-plot empowerment push gives its movies the same lack of longterm shelf-life as Moana.

Sure, pal. Just like the big red monster with the sneakers is named "Gossamer".
Whatever Warner says.

But, hey-ho, like I said, I’m not actually "against" it, either way. To be honest I never really noticed Lola that much: she was never as attractive as when Bugs Bunny put on a dress and played a girl bunny... ;) On appearance, I'd put her on par with Bugs as a Daisy-Mae in "Hillbilly Hare", but fo...

Causing every online telephone-gamer who read only half the story to think one editorial is now "legislation", and that "Warner is CANCELLING Pepe!"

UWN. (Uh, What? No.)

Completely off-topic, but as long as we're discussing anime features: Thanks to their connections with whatever Discotek digs up out of the archive for Blu-ray, Crunchyroll's streaming site just added dubs and subs of the five Urusei Yatsura movies (fans don't count the wretched "sixth" one), free-w...
