>This, says Favreau, is what he wanted his film version of The Jungle Book to capture: not just the well-known characters and jazz-drenched languor of the Disney cartoon, but the way in which childhood, through a child’s eyes, can take on a mythic vibrancy and scale. As such, in Favreau’s Jungle Book, the leaves are a little bigger and the trees a little taller than they should be – and the wildlife a little wilder.
>While we talk, Favreau keeps pointedly calling the film’s effects team “artists”, and when I ask the umpteenth technical question of the call, he starts sounding a little irked, describes the film as “hand-made”, and adds: “the idea that you put some dots on somebody’s face and the computer spits out a performance is misleading.”
>The result, as the surrounding pictures suggest, is the most astoundingly photorealistic all-digital environment yet seen in movies – and it convinced Favreau that computer effects are at the same evolutionary stage that hand-drawn animation was in the mid-1930s, when Walt Disney decided to make his planned adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the world’s first full-length animated feature.
>“And the biggest victory for him, and the biggest prize, was that people were actually feeling an emotional response from watching a cartoon,” says Favreau. “It proved that you could touch people’s humanity through this new medium.”
>As a means of paying tribute, Favreau incorporated imagery into the film from Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi: the Disney ‘Big Five’, on which the studio’s entire reputation and legacy were founded. Bambi, in particular, was a vital influence: Favreau enthuses over the “exponential growth in elegance” between the animation in Snow White and the later film, in which Disney demanded that the animals shouldn’t have human-like facial expressions or typically cartoonish movement.
>I tell Favreau that his opening shot – a dreamy pull-back through undergrowth that slowly fades from hand-drawn into CG – reminded me of the slow pans through the forest at the start of Bambi, which Disney created on a then-groundbreaking “multi-plane camera” that brought the illusion of depth to 2D artwork. All talk of motion capture’s immediately forgiven. “You found it. That was the shot,” he glows, before talking about scouring Bambi for “tonal clues” as to how to balance danger, humour and emotion without scarring his younger audience for life.
>Rather than imprint a social allegory of his own on the story, he instead wanted to draw out its “deepest, most mythic” aspects.

Why does Captain merch always shoot missiles? Seems so stupid
If I was a kid this would trigger my autism, I would just want a toy shield to roleplay with, not a missile shooting "shield" arm gauntlet
>>81621898
>If I was a kid this would trigger my autism
it is triggering your autismo
>>81621898
But they've sold Cap shields to kids that are just shields. But if the Iron Man toy gets to shoot shit, then the Cap one will have to do it too or get totally outclassed.
>>81621920
and by the looks of it, he's still a kid.

Who would win if the battle was like a Pokémon battle?
>>81621530
First come up with each of their types.
>>81621530
Iron Man would EV train.
>>81621530
>A pokemon battle
You mean like one at a time? Why didn't you just say crew battle?
Did they have sex off-screen?
I believe it
>>81621443
It doesn't really matter whether or not they did.
>>81621443
They did in the comics so I just assume yes
ITT: Villains so fucking stupid they actually come around to being entertaining
I'd say taskmaster

I for one would like to see this as a crossover( more if they use the Frank miller's Batman "We've always been criminals, Saitama")
Strangers things have hapened (Avengers vs Attack on Titan)
>>81620921

If Batman had 3 years to do 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and run 10 km every single day he could do it
>>81621282
He's been training way harder than that for years
ITT (That I tried last night, to little avail): What the hell exactly was Walter, anyways?
I got a few answers saying he was generally someone in sync with his body and mind, but does he really seem that well-balanced?
I thought initially that maybe he's already under the influence of another artifact like the mask, but nothing specifically goes to show that.
Theories, anybody?
>>81620854
His head is too big for the mask.
If Mask is supposed to be like the real world manifestation of a Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny, Walter is like Gossamer or a bull.
No real explanation other than being the one major obstacle that the hero character must face.
>>81620854
It's simple: Walter didn't have a sense of humor.
In the very likely chance this gets optioned for a "realistic" reboot film, how's it gonna work? Think they're still gonna fight pollution?
>>81620752
>an anti-pollution hero
>his one weakness is pollution
That's like if Supes exclusively fought against sentient kryptonite.
>>81621116
And not even pollution sometimes it was natural "harmful" elements that would do him in.
Why doesn't CP just kill the pollution themed villains?

And I'm not sure who the chicken is, maybe one of the Garfield barnyard animals.
I really don't care what brain dead fanboys who have been pampered and treated like they're special and their opinions matter by Disney marketing strategists react to a movie they already loved the second it was announced.
Someone just give me the spoilers and tell me about Spidey, T'Challa, how Strange is set up and the post-credits stuff.
I just want info on Doc strange, no one I know gives a crap about civil war

So I believe that leaves amber, sandra, and Zii for him to choose
>>81620207
Technically, Kiley is still nominally straight, just very accommodating.
Normally I'd say that this conversation would preclude Gary from getting with her (since he'd think she's not interested), but stuff constantly happens with no buildup or reason in this comic, so...
>>81620268
Well both matt and gary think she is a lesbian now so it should probably get addressed at some point
I'm so glad I stopped reading this.
But from what I have read.... why the hell would anyone choose Zii?
What's /co/'s opinion of this?
Some half-assed Canadian Gravity Falls knockoff.
Meh, it was OK
