Caught this on TV the other night. Having the horse speak only in narration was an odd choice, it should have been all or nothing.
What ever happened to 90's/early 00's semi-serious animal stories like this Balto?
>>84490851
The guy should have tried to fuck Spirit into submission.
>>84490851
This is the worst movie of all time. Bondage furry fantasy, you can't spell Bryan Adams without BDSM.
They announced a netflix cartoon and I'm curious to see if they'll maintain that narrative style.
>>84490851
>What ever happened to 90's/early 00's semi-serious animal stories like this Balto?
People realized making Lion King ripoffs will only result in everyone calling them Liok King ripoffs and no one will respect you.
>>84490851
well they made 2 more balto movies, 2 brother bear movies
if the lower the seriousness bar a lot theres like 5 open season movies, the ice ages, like 4 or 5 alpha and omegas, and they probably made another land before time at some point
>>84490851
>Having the horse speak only in narration was an odd choice, it should have been all or nothing.
Fuck you. Animal movies are better that way. Pic related.
>>84491158
Why a Spirit cartoon and not a Road to El Dorado one?
>>84491924
Because, someone in netflix' staff is a furry.
>>84491262
there are 2 more alpha and omega movies in production right now
>>84491986
expect the horse penises to be even larger than before.
>>84492001
What the fuck was her problem?
>>84491924
>no Road to.... series with each episode being a different locale in South and Central America
>no lewd Chel in different outfits
I think Spirit is a really terrible fucking movie.
Native Americans didn't act like that at all.
>>84492001
God fucking damn, why
Is furry really that big a fandom?
>>84492569
>different locale in South and Central America
Honestly I'd prefer a Road To Paradise series where they travel to different lost cities. "The Road to Shangri La" "The Road to Utopia" "The Road to Atlantis" "The Road to Eden" "The Road to Shambhala" etc.
>>84492490
>>84492670
I think it's some sort of money laundering scheme
I refuse to believe that a movie that flops would unironically get funding for 7 sequels
Heh, maybe we'll get even more once they finish the upcoming movies :)
>>84492670
Yes. Why do you think it is one of the only things banned on nearly every board here?
>>84492569
>they had actually planned a series of movie sequels about them travelling south america having adventures
>the movie performed badly in the box office so the plans were scrapped
>>84492761
>movie ends where the story finishes and all conflict is neatly wrapped up with nowhere to go
>gets a sequel
>movie ends with the perfect opening for a series, with the characters riding off into the sunset in pursuit of adventure
>never gets a sequel
Why does this keep happening?
>>84492716
This theory makes too much sense it's scary
>>84492717
I mean, geez, I always thought of them as a vocal minority.
>>84493076
Vocal minority, yes. Not a financial one though.
>>84493163
why would you do this to me
>>84493182
People must know the power of autism bucks.
>>84490851
This movie was pretentious and grating.
>>84493196
but why
>>84490851
The plot was your boring Western Noble Savage thing, the 2D/3D never meshed, and the Bryan Adams songs were terrible. Some of the animation was pretty good, but then a cringe worthy "epic" CGI shot would come up.
Prince of Egypt was kind of the same, minus the 3D. Loved it as a kid, only realized how middling it was when I rewatched it recently.
>>84494616
While some people barely have enough money to pay their bills, furries have the income to move worlds.
I came here for the horse lewds
>>84495029
go to /garbage/
>>84490851
I agree the '90s/2000s didn't need more talking animal movies (hell, we don't really need any right now), but then I agree with the "all or nothing" part in that so many animated movies start development from the mindset of "oh yeah, this is gonna be a super realistic movie, the animals won't talk, it'll be great." And then somewhere along the production line people change their minds because of marketability or whatever and the animals end up talking anyway.
I'm sure there are examples I'm forgetting where they don't talk, there have to be, but the only thing that's coming to my mind right now is something like Rite of Spring from Fantasia. And not only was that decades ago, but of course nothing talked because the whole movie was like that anyway.
>>84491017
>came here to post this
>>84492559
>was in love with human cock
>>84492670
I don't even know furries that like the Alpha and Omega movies. But someone has to be buying this shit!
>that one girl who was probably a furry and was obsessed with horses and wolves that liked this movie mkre than anybody else
>>84495601
I knew a girl like that in elementary. Would draw horses and wolves all the time.She dyed her hair blonde and got into twerking in high school.
>>84494866
PoE still had some 3D, it was just less noticeable.
>>84495409
Not animated, but the original Incredible Journey didn't have any talking animals, just a narrator speaking while the animals did the scenes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG--hBijCfk
Then in the 90s they made some remakes where the animals are dubbed to be talking the whole way through.
>>84492670
>>84492717
Literally nobody in the furry fandom cares about these movies. Something else is making them profitable.
>>84496468
So it's back to what >>84492716 said, a money laundering scheme?
>>84496505
Could be that. Could be some loophole in a law like the ones Uwe Boll abused to make bad video game movies that nobody watched somehow profitable. Maybe the direct-to-video market is more profitable that any of us thought it could be and all these sequels are in fact being bought by countless clueless grannies looking for christmas gifts. Who knows?
>>84490851
The LAST thing we needed was Rain and Esperanza speaking. No mares in america would be safe after that. Damn movie already made people aware of how a horse can be hot without overblown Bluth gimmicks like human lips. Give them voices? We couldn't take it.

Well, when I worked at a supermarket we did actually sell this shit. All the ten Foodfight! DVDs we got shipped in sold at 9,99€ a piece. Stuff that didn't sell got discounted every other week by a couple of euros, and would be bought by dumb shits thinking they found a great deal. I cant remember if we ever shipped anything back to the distributor...
When producing a DVD costs like 2€ including shipping it to the store, there certainly is a nice profit margin.
>>84497104
So basically what you're saying is that people are stupid
I thought this movie was boring when I was a kid.
>>84497162
I guess? I just wish I knew how to fleece them off their money
>>84497217
Childhood is when you think Spirit is boring
Adulthood is when you realise it makes more sense
>>84495887
>dyed her hair blonde and got into twerking
You are an outcast.
>>84490851
One of favorite movies as a kid. Watched it dozens of times and remember that train scene getting to me each time. Actually I recently rewatched this part again and it stills gets me somehow.
>>84491158
Fuck really? Source on this?
>>84494914
Furries often barely have the money to pay their bills. Because autistic narcissism money outweighs feeding themselves money.
Source: knowing too many furries.
>>84497831
You know the shit furries. You have shit taste in people.
>>84497939
All furries are shit.
>>84499481
Such self loathing.
>>84491986
I'm looking at you bojack horseman
IIRC there wasn't originally going to be any narration. I'm sure if someone cared enough you could make a cut of the movie that removed it.
>>84499598
You forgot to type #gotem.
>>84491924
Gonna guess it's because 'a girl and her horse' has more widespread appeal with a younger audience. Road to El Dorado is kind of niche.
Iunno dude, i just wanna fuck the horse
>that Spirit/Balto crossover comic
>>84500063
Was that actually a thing because that makes no sense given the the large location distance and the even bigger time period difference
>>84500138
Yep.Mamabliss drew it.
>>84500138
>>84500182
>that whole comic
People really fap to this?
>>84500784
If you lower your standards enough, you can fap to anything.
However, it is possible one never had standards in the first place.
>>84497749
I don't know the source of the announcement, but it is already up on netflix's catalog for pre-order
>>84500863
Holy fuck I can't believe it's going to happen
>>84500784
Apparently. MamaBliss gets mad commissions despite that spastic artstyle, possibly due to having no qualms about drawing ANYTHING.
>>84490880
furaffinity sure has
>>84491262
>alpha and omega movies
After the first one it's like they got the people who did Food Fight to animate it
>>84501633
>>84492716
That actually lends creedence to the money-laundering theory.
>>84495664
that's not how physics work
that's not how trains work
>>84501733
Have you ever ran downhill away from a train before? How do you know?
>>84492761
Wait seriously? Could I get a source on that? Because I'd have loved a show like that.
