Would you see a Don Rosa Scrooge animated movie?
>>71915210
Sure.
It has the possibility of being absolute kino. Don Rosa weaved a surprisingly abject tale of humanity with The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
>>71915210
Me on the left
>>71915210
nope...humanity today dont deserve such kino yet
>>71915210
Read huge compilations of his work with disney, when i was i kid
Id totally watch it

Carl Barks>Don Rosa
>>71915282
It would be a masterpiece.
music by the Nightwish guy?
>>71916691
I barfed
>>71915210
Hell yes I would, but Don Rosa himself would have to be involved, and he is going blind unfortunatly.
>>71915210
Yes. I'm not sure what else to say. I'm just huge fan of Donald Duck comics overall and well almost everyone familiar with those would say this, but Carl Barks and Don Rosa are just legends.
But Don Rosa's stories could make a good movie, if they could somehow replicate his style in an animated movie.
>>71916691
True
Don Rosa is for normies
Out of curiosity, where are you guys from? It's my impression that Don Rosa and Carl Barks are more famous outside of the USA?
Is this a Nordic circle jerk?
>>71915210
Yep. In a heartbeat.
Maybe Life and Times is too extensive, but I'd love to see an adaptation of The Universal Solvant and The Black Knight or any of the treasure hunts
>>71916981
Norway here, so probably yes. Ive even met Don Rosa, he used to visit Scandinavia pretty often.
I know Mickey is big in America, but here we mostly only care about Donald & co.
>>71916981
Finland here.
>>71916981
Binland
his first name is literally Keno
>>71916981
Brazil here. A few years ago they released a collection of a shit ton of Barks' comics. Donald is big here, so is his brazilian counterpart, Zé Carioca.
>>71916981
italy here
disney old times are worshipped in my country
>>71917228
Does "Zé Carioca" have their own comic there or something? I only remember seeing him few times in Donald comics and cartoons
>>71916981
Norway here, even got Don Rosa's autograph
>>71915210
It should be a high budget animated series adapting both Barks and Rosa stories, one of its main goals would be too have a coherent timeline from start to finish and stay as truthful as possible to the original comics
>>71917495
Yes. I had a pretty big collection of his and Donald's comics. I don't know if the quality is still the same nowadays, but it was great 10 years ago.
>>71915210
Yes. Treasure hunter/pioneer Scrooge was a badass, even in the ones where he is old Scrooge with Donald and the grandkids.
>>71915210
I'd watch a Scrooge film no matter who made it. Sadly now that his voice actor is finally dead it just wont feel like Scrooge to me. Nobody will be able to capture that character has he did.
>>71916780
That's a pretty darn good album.
>>71917845
That's interesting, I always thought that he was just random side character that rarely appeared. Maybe there was just bigger market for that in south america
>>71917107
>>71917641
Mine brodre!
Sure but I think Disney would certainly fuck it up.
>>71918108
Yeah, absolutely. His stories revolve around Rio's touristic points and favelas.
Also, if you're interested in the character, Don Rosa made a great story with Zé Carioca, Donald and a mexican rooster named Panchito. The story is called The Three Caballeros Ride Again. I would search for you, but I'm on my smartphone, shouldn't be too hard to find.
Only if the quality of animation is similar to the drawings.

I've been waiting for this, storytime lads, it's the story Nolan allegedly ripped off for Inception!
>you will never be a Beagle Boy
>>71916981
Poland. I doubt there exist a circle jerk for comics here (maybe with the exception for Thorgal/Axterix) but I love Don Rosa's humour and attention to detail.
>>71916981
Denmark here.
D.U.C.K.
>>71916981
Denmark here. It seems like Don Rosa is more popular, it's like his stories are regarded as the definitive stories of the Mcduck family.
>>71915210
Only if it's traditionally animated.
I'm from Poland as well
The Disney comics are popular in Europe in general, most notably in Finland.
Vitu perkele sataanas
>>71919456
Also I unironicaly consider Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck to be the best comic book ever. It's weird to see them being almost unknown in USA.
>>71919594
This. I consider that his true origin story.
How would they do the art style though? Rosa as a consultant? Because his eyesight is so bad now that he can't really draw almost anything anymore. I'm not saying that he would draw the movie on his own even if he was healthier, but his style is so singular that I wonder how they would go about making the film work?
Aren't Disney working on a new Duck Tales using the style of their recent Mickey mouse shorts? Those are pretty good BTW.

Back when I learned how to read, comics like this were pretty much the first thing I read in my spare time. The frequent use of exclamation marks confused me, too.

That slag robbed hardworking McDuck of his gold nugget, and only of Scrooge's benevolence does she come into finding his cache of gold allowing her and her pet bear to live their remaining days in comfort.

Scandinavia and Italy are obsessed with duck comics. Don Rosa visits Sweden every year.
>>71920670
Isn't it more like nordic countries?

Classic young Scrooge, kicking ass and pulling the best woman in Klondike. Thanks for posting this, it isnt a part of the original Life and Times series, so hadnt read it in a while.
>>71920223
>>71920403
Let me tell you why they do this, then. Initially theye used single final points to end phrases but they were usually erased when printed because they were mistaken by dirt. Writers then began to use exclamation marks to never have to face this kind of crap again.

>>71916981
USA here. Me and my whole family absolutely loved the scrooge mcduck comics growing up, and we all adored don rosa, who by the way, made the greatest comic book ever, the life and times of scrooge mcduck. My dad is from germany, and he wouldn't let us watch TV growing up, but he had tons and tons of asterisk and obelisk, tintin and Disney comics that he brought over from europe. So me and my siblings would literally sit amongst piles of these comics reading for hours, which are some of my fondest memories.
This thread made me want to cry desu.
Also why is Europe so badass at making comics/why are comics so much more popular over there than here in the states? Is it just cuz Americans watch more movies and TV or something?
>>71915210
I'd pay a very large amount of money to see that.
>>71916981
Norway. Donal Duck is very popular over here. I was raised on the stories of Barks, Rosa, Rota and Scarpa. I also like Mickey, but not to the same degree. Gottfredson>Murry.
I also really reeeaaally love the old sunday comics of Taliaferro.
>>71916981
I also wanted to post this picture, but forgot.
I know I should re-organize it, but I'm lazy.
>>71922038
>>71916981
Italy here, wow Scarpa's stories are exported? I never knew.
>>71915210
But he is retired?
>>71922230
Unfortunately some of Scarpa's good point are all about his use of italian language.
As an italian i love some of his quotes
>Uellà, drammone familiare!
>>71922278
He means the character written by Don Rosa. The one from Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
>>71916981
Donald Duck is huge in scandinavia. Much more so than Mickey Mouse.
>>71915210
Absoluty NO: Disney would ruin it by using cringey 3D animation.
>>71922230
They are. The coverpiece of book one is one of my all time favourite duck stories.
>>71922473
can we at least have a darkwing duck movie then?
>>71916981
France here.
I used to read these stories every summer at my uncle house when I was a kid (he had literally a trunk full of Mickey/Donald/Picsou magazines).
Nowadays the poor guy has Alzheimer & don't even remember me :(
10/10 thread
An animated movie capturing the magic of Don Rosa would be absolutely amazing. It is storytelling at its very finest.
I'm Norwegian, and as you can tell from this thread we were brought up with these stories. My parents have collected all the old comics and have them in their comfy attic. They are just waiting for the new generation of kiddos to grow old enough to read.
>>71922514
>that second cover
That one is a god tier Macchia nera/black blot (ink blot?) story, I never noticed it was done by him.
Makes me feel like dusting out (but only metaphorically because they are protected from dust) my collection pieces.
>>71922597
Don Rosa Scrooge to me rivals even the best superman/batman stories, is "serious" in the sense that is not too campy but neither full Snyder, I doubt Disney would ever adapt the stories, especially in 2D, maybe 10 or 20 years ago.
>>71922532

I still own pic related.
>>71916981
Italy. Carl Barks here has been famous, or at least "known" since at least the mid 50s. Don Rosa is popular as well, but not as highly regarder as Barks, who is rightfully considered one of the greatest artists of the XX century.
>>71919732
the recent Mickey mouse shorts are indeed godlike but this style wouldn't fit the Don Rosa style at all.
>>71922405
>are all about his use of italian language
Is funny how re-reading Scrooge stories highlight how much the dialogues were changed to a much cleaner lingo, hell I feel the italian language of the ducks and mouses is always devoid of any kind of lingo....except when they are trying to deliver a specific point like when talking about technology, I still remember that hoe blabbering about her daily internet activity and mentioning "trolling".
>>71915210
It's too long. Would work as an animated miniseries
>>71916691
No shit. Don Rosa would be the first guy to tell you that. Barks is a master of the comics medium.
>>71916691
Rosa has better dialogue and art
>>71922701
>not Paperinik
also, Don Rosa was fashinated by this character but the Danish Editor house Egmot had put some vetos that stopped him from using the character, bunch of faggots.
>>71922743
Lucky you, that probably got sold (but basically gifted) along with a fuckton of other comics thanks to my mother's peer pressure when I was 13 or 14.
>>71922759
what shorts?
>>71922971
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeRYuMEM_4k
This thread is giving me such a rush of nostalgia... I grew up reading Barks, Scarpa, Rota, Carpi and all those greats artists, all those great stories.
>>71922971
https://youtu.be/xlErKjtJv6w
There have made dozens of these since 1 or 2 years now.
they use very dynamic Flash-like animation with a retro style that is just perfect. Nice homage to the old shorts.
>>71922986
>pouring the butter on your popcorn into a stick

>>71923056
>>71922986
Well is nice of them to remember how it all started and is about a Mouse, if only Walt Disney were still alive, there would have been another Fantasia probably.
>>71922986
Did the animators from Powerpuff or Samurai Jack work on these, somehow it reminds me of that.
>>71923185
Fantasia: 1940
Fantasia 2000: 1999
We'll get it by 2058.
>>71923479
Fantasia was supposed to be about the innovative new animation techniques, I mean there should be one in 3D, but I guess the closest thing is that one made from the design sketches of the Dalì collaboration which never realized itself.
i just want to say that this is the first thread in ages here when there's no shit posting or "memes". it was actually almost enjoyable to read through.
and most of it is barely even /tv/ related. anyway nice change of pace, considering there's still probably few got threads and more than needed ghostbusters threads.
>>71923185
But anon, Walt wasn't going to make another Fantasia while he was alive. The middling reviews (many critics outright called it pretentious!) and piss-poor box-office returns (due partially to World War II killing the foreign market, most theaters refusing to install the recommended sound system for it [which killed word-of-mouth because standard theater sound systems in that time were crap and fucking ruined the movie], and expensive ticket prices) would be terrible for any movie. On top of all that, Fantasia was expensive enough to make that even if it were more popular than Gone With The Wind, it still would have been a major loss for the Disney studio. Making Fantasia nearly killed the Disney empire in its crib, and as much as he wanted to make more Fantasias, he fucking knew it.
At least Walt lived long enough to see it get the reputation Fantasia deserved, though.
Also, as >>71923479 said, there was another Fantasia.
Who else cried?
>>71915210
Downloading and reading the life and times of scrooge is one of my happiest memories. Tried to get the whole story by buying used magazines in weird shops where I grew up, the book was out of print and expensive. would love a film but seriously doubt it would be profitable
>>71919267
>>71920541
>>71921542
This Scrooge story ripped off some Eastern European movie. It was actually a fan submitted idea, Rosa didn't know it came from somewhere else.
And Inception ripped off Paprika.
Don Rosa threads are always the comfiest, regardless of board. Even when they happen on /v/.
I suspect it's because they attract older Europeans and keep the American kiddies out though.
>>71923739
A Life and Times film would top cinema charts for weeks in many European countries.
A fucking fan music album of it was enough to make the top 10 in several countries here. The demand is outrageous. Too bad Hollywood and Disney have no idea.
>>71924013
Maybe I'm mistaken, I thought it was mainly popular in the Nordic region and Benelux, which are tiny markets on a global scale
>>71924079
Nah, Central and Southern Europe too, I don't know about France and the UK.
>>71924013
I can't stand Nightwish, but that album gave me the feels. A film adaption would be amazing if done right.

How long was the line? I'm in Minneapolis in the US and he came here. I got up early ready to stand in line. I was super excited. I woke up later than I planned and got nervous. I arrived and there wasn't a single person standing at his booth. Not one. I walked right up, talked with him and got a sketch. Saw him speak to about 20 people under a staircase in the hall and then got him to sign Life & Times afterward, again with no wait. He was super fucking friendly.
>>71924429
>I arrived and there wasn't a single person standing at his booth. Not one.
He deserves better.
>>71924429
Not that anon and I'm from Denmark, but I met him some years ago. The line was fairly big, a lot of kids. I think I waited half an hour. Donald Duck is the best selling comic here.
>>71924575
>>71924625
He was wearing a "I'm big in Finland" shirt and was laughing about nobody showing up since he's used to it.
