Why didn't you go see Princess and the Frog in theatres? You could have saved 2D films.
>>
But I did. I fucking cry when I see the making-of documentary.

I'm pissed as fuck it didn't get more recognition. It was the last Disney film actually made with heart rather then a cheap Dreamworks-lite movie that they're shitting out constantly.

>Not liking Wreck It Ralph

Shit taste detected. But I can say the rest is pretty bad. Tangled was okay, it was kind of like their Shrek. Frozen was shit awful, and so boring. Big Hero 6 was pretty cute, but not a masterpiece.
Hoping Zootopia is Wreck It Ralph tier, especially with Rich Moore at the helm.

Well the bigger a canvas art is drawn on the more impressive it looks and seeing top-tier hand drawn animation on a big screen is fucking impressive. Though I agree that there is not much point if its some shitty Cartoon Network spinoff movie.

Wreck it Ralph loses points for product placement and the fact that we didn't see enough video game landscapes. Overall it could have been better.

He's not saying he cried because the film itself made him sad, he's implying that the effort that went into the making of the movie made him cry. Also, who gives a shit? Quit being an edglord, and try coming back to 4chan when you're not 12.

Enchanted was also a great example. Basically a big "fuck you" to Shrek.

It was a really really god 90's era Disney movie. But I don't think anybody has ever addressed the elephant in the room when it comes to the directorial differences between 2D animation and 3D.

PATF has this archaic notion that the main protagonist and antagonist NEEDS a fourth-wall breaking song and dance number, whereas 3D films clearly avoid this for the most part. And the story turns and characters themselves are much less complex and still stuck in the dimension they are drawn in, there is just no subtlety to speak of. It doesn't help that most 2D runtimes are on average 20 or 30 minutes shorter. Stylistically direction-wise, they all blend together. Yet in 3D there is a lot more exploration of different genres and tones. Just compare Zootopia to HTTYD2 and how they push the boundaries in vastly different directions.

I honestly believe if the same standards that 3D storytelling are applied to traditionally animated features they will be successful and popular again.

Exactly. It pretty much shitted all over Disney's legacy and now we're never getting anything as great as stuff like Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, and Lion King ever again.

Meanwhile PATF and Enchanted knew how to toy with seeimingly cliched and overdone tropes Shrek was making fun of but show how they can actually work.

Frozen wasnt Disney Princesses movies.

disney is already confirmed it.

It's not part of the Disney Princess franchise only because they're still able to milk it as a standalone cash cow.

Wouldn't surprise me if the lines merge sometime after the Frozen ride they slapped into Epcot opens and they're able to fully market Norway as Princess Fantasy Faire East Coast between the Frozen attraction and expanded character meets and the Princess breakfast that's been there for a while now.

Honestly BH6 was just as boring as Frozen and Zootopia is honestly uninspired conceptwise. Disney refuses to make any trailer focusing on the TRUE story for the fucking thing of Judy trying to solve the crime and Nick being a con-artist with something to lose with his scheme delaying her.

Also the fucking annoying General SPAMMERS of Zootopia make me just want to pirate the damn fucking film when it hits next year. And again, FUCK the shippers for Judy/Nick. They also help in making the film annoying.

Would it be any different than ANY presence of a black or non-white character? In what way would it be genuine or genuine enough for a product?
>>
>>78481786
Why should they? Twats go to the movies more than men do just like how they vote more than men. So women "vote" with their money more at the box office meaning it's not a surprise as to why Disney can shit out Disney Princess Shit endlessly and always find success. The intended demographic WILL eat that shit up.

Men are harder to please and subsidize something in smaller numbers. But women are a reliable herd of sheeps. The men who also watch Disney Princess Shit are just a two bit bonus. Never hurts to have that extra bit of profit since men don't mind watching women's movies. After all they're emasculated enough.

No they aren't. They're teaching girls that they're empowered to always make out like bandits in the game of life just because, vagina. And boys? They learn that men are stupid, lazy, good for nothing butt monkeys if they're "heroes" but if they're villains? THEN they're cunning, got strong masculine traits, etc. Basically male characters are portrayed horribly in Disney films, particularly the Princess ones.

New Orleans IS a pretty weird place, or has been over the course of its history, in that regard. I mean, there's still a lot of racism, but if there's anywhere in the South they could have conceivably told that story and the notion of Lottie and Tiana being friends wouldn't be completely unbelievable, it'd be there. Worth noting that Tiana is still the daughter of two poor slum-dwelling people and that one of the them died penniless and with his (non-love related) dreams unfulfilled due to poverty and, presumably, racism.

I mean, several of those guys are (or start out) sleazy or dumb. The anon you're replying to is totally talking out of his ass, though. Even in Frozen, Kristoff is a big, tough, surly manly-man who is the sole voice of reason and has the most functional home-life. In PatF, Tiana's dad is considered a deeply admirable character because he is a hard-working patriarch. The Good Dinosaur (while not a princess movie) is all about a lone, slightly wimpy kid toughening up and becoming his own man, like his gruff-but-loving farmer of a father before him.

I don't know, 101 Dalmantians, the Lion King, the Great Mouse Detective, Tarzan, Treasure Planet and Lilo & Stitch seems pretty diverse.

Also fuck making her black just to cater to SJWs, if they are gonna make a black princess they could at least have looked for a story that originally features a black woman. Like how they did with Mulan or Pocahontas even if they follow very little from the original story.

They loosely based themselves in an european story and painted it black. They could have made the same story with a native american or an asian girl but they already had stories based on stories about a native american and a Chinese girl.

>>78486695

is there proof she was made to cater to sjws?
>>
>>78486728
By proof you mean a document explicitly explaining that they are doing this just for sjws? Them no, there will never be this kind of proof. But all the other princess were based on their original ethnic group with the exception of Jasmine since the original story is supposed to be set on China but the original writer had no idea about how China really was besides an exotic distant land so the only Chinese thing in the story was the mention that it is in China.
>>
>>78486769
Wait what? When in the Aladdin movie do they say they're in China?
>>
>>78486780
The original story did. Disney removed it and made everybody arabs because it makes more sense than having a story where everything sounds arabian but is implied to be in China.

>>
>>78486769
>>78486829
You know, for once it wouldn't have hurt them to come up with a completely original story.
Apprently they didn't want an African princess story, since those exist and they didn't bother with them. They wanted to make an African-American princess for a number of reasons, including trying to get money from that demographic and getting das rayciss whiners off their ass.
Thing being, there are no African-American princess stories to speak of because of US history, so they went with adapting a story that wasn't set in that context and changed it. Which is fine in my book, I don't really give a shit, the Wiz did it, why can't others?
But coming up with an original story would have shut "muh blackwashing" people up, with the added benefice of making it look like Disney actually cares and puts work into giving little black girls the same escapist fantasies as the others. Which again, by using Randy Newman to make New Orleans music, they didn't show.
Although I guess then someone would have whined about something else.

I understand that, but who cares. Some people won't see some movies for any number of reasons. Big whoop. If she's that racist that she couldn't be won over, what the fuck is even the point of bringing her up. They were going to make an AA princess movie anyway, that was set, they knew that some people would be too racist to like it period.
My point was at least if they had an original stories it would shut up muh blackwashing people. I wasn't trying to say it would win literally everybody over including people who wont see movies with a black lead, because I'm not a fucking retard.

What point are you trying to make anyway, that they shouldn't have made a movie with a black lead because some people are racist and therefor won't go watch it for that reason?

This.
My biggest problem with Pulpit Paulie was the fact that the largest role for an actual video game character was Zangief, and he only gave Ralph some advice. He was literally upstaged by Mentos, which freshmade everything all better.

Meanwhile you have classic cartoon characters helping Eddie Valiant out to the point of being instrumental to the plot at times, despite making room for the character who was made specifically for the book.

Even Lego Movie made better use of its licensing through Batman.

With Hit-it Harry, we essentially get the AA meeting scene and from then on very small cameos that have little to no bearing with its surprisingly lackluster story.

It is vastly overrated.

>>
>>78487171
Randy Newman is a hack who does the same type of songs for everything he works on. None of his music for the movie set in damn New Orleans is jazz.
And don't get me wrong, I like some of Randy Newman's stuff and I thought Friends on the other side was good, but most of the music in the movie is kind of meh and ill-fitting.

He's basically the default composer for cartoon movies if you don't have any better idea and don't care to try to find someone else.

But that's not a bad thing. It's a movie, not fanservice porn.
I agree with the other guy saying we should have seen more video game landscapes though.
>>
>>78487273
And yet two other more successful movies managed to make room for enough fanservice without detracting from their stories, particularly Roger Rabbit, which had various fanservice segments while maintaining its far superior narrative.
What's worse is this was time Knock-it Neville actually had. Did we really need another montage-with-licensed-song? The time spent in candyland was overlong without it, and needed trimming throughout.

I disagree with you, anon. It was a bad thing, and it showed that the team had no idea what it was doing with the licenses it held. It made zero effort to use what it had to add to the movie as a whole, and instead just wasted it entirely.

Too many people who defend this pile of shit always think that the fanservice was either gonna fall under one extreme or another: if it wasn't underused, then it would've been overused.

Roger Rabbit proved that such licensing can and should be juggled and mixed in with the story. Instead what we got ended up being just as bad as fanservice porn. We got a bland, generic movie where, again, Mentos was instrumental to solving everything.

There is more to New Orleans musically than jazz. Going down to the French Quarter you're more likely to hear zydeco than jazz.

>>
>>78487343
It's not because it wasn't a disservice to other movies that it would have been a service to this one.

The movie was fine, it certainly had issues, but not enough fanservice wasn't one of them imo.

You got something different from what you expected, but more fanservice wouldn't make it a better movie in and of itself.

He is a hack.

I have downloaded some of his albums and as I said I certainly like some of it, he's still a hack who rewrites the same music over and over again. It's decently good music, but still.

>you got something different from what you expected

I'd be fine with that. Different can be a wonderful thing.
I'm not fine with a shitty movie that didn't even have the sense to cover up how shitty it was with what it ended up wasting its money on. Even if they didn't buy any licensed characters alone, it would still have been godawful. ReBoot tackled a similar concept much more effectively, with zero licensed characters.

What it needed was a screenwriter or team of screenwriters that actually knew how to use what it had to work with. Instead we clearly got a hack who only illustrated that she was capable of writing schlock like Frozen.

I'm very concerned about A Wrinkle in Time, but hopefully she'll have a talent for adapting existing works.

youre jumping to all sorts of conclusions. i brought her up because her son and i didnt think she was racist until she showed her true colors. and i highly doubt that people upset about blackwashing were anything sort of a fraction of the people who didnt see it. my issue is that whenever something has a black lead, it either becomes a black product made specifically for black people, or some sort of sjw agenda piece meant to uplift people for some reason instead of being a form of entertainment

And that's an ironclad fact? Where I come from if something's happened before, it's almost always perfectly capable of happening again.

>Thing being, there are no African-American princess stories to speak of because of US history
Mulan is not a princess and she didn't marry a prince. Doesn't stopped her for being an honorary princess in Disney line up.

All they needed was an awesome black woman. And they could have adapted an African story in United States too just like they did with the European story. I think it would be much more tasteful and would bring many more interesting mythological elements to the Disney universe.

I didn't watch Tangled in the cinema and I regret it.

There is difference between doing an african character because you have a story to tell, or doing it because you want the african-american audience

>but Frozen was a big "Fuck You too" to disney princesses movies.

I hate the audacity of this. Frozen existed to attack those tropes that were Disney's bread and butter. The past Princesses were like cardboard cutout, yes, but they were from a different time with different people/society and different values. It just seems so childish and lazy to criticize past Princesses to prop up how "great" your movie is.

And the hilarious thing is, the movie actually falls flat in the end because they used a fucking cringe-y trope where the bad guy discusses his plans and then leaves without killing the protagonist.

They focused so much making their movie so cool by dissing old Disney tropes, and then they used a fucking horrible trope for their villain. Fuck Frozen.

Technically, they married after a year or so.

Amen. Frozen was shit.

I actually really liked how the movie showed Tiana working hard. I think that' quite important for kids to see. The rest of the movie is pretty shitty though.
>>
>>78483754
>Tangled
I liked the movie, but that part bothered me. Not only is the princess of the country marrying a lower class personage, whiched woulld be seen as a massive insult to any neighboring monarchs, she's marrying a known felon who iirc wasn't even framed.

>>78488373
This.

>>78488494
The kingdom can always angle it as the thief who changed face and saved their fair princess (while not knowing she was a princess). It won't sit well with the greedy monarchs but the peasants will eat that shit up.

Because if you want to make an iconic (not token) black princess you should place the story in Nubia, Ethiopia or ancient Shebwa.
Disney already had Kida anyway...

If anything, Scroop was the only real villain of the movie seeing he had no sense of empathy.

I'm just happy the film still gets credit, IE Tiana being an official Disney Princess, Facilier becoming one of Disney's most popular villains, and the factor that it is HIGHLY likely to get a world in Kingdom Hearts 3, almost as much as Frozen.

>>78491572

I just hope Nomura remembers to include Tiana's based white best friend unlike Tantor in 1's Tarzan world, Zazu in 2's Lion King world, Pleakley in BBS' Lilo and Stitch prologue world, and Clopin in DDD's Hunchback world.

Why?

Simple. It wasn't a very good film.

There are maybe two musical numbers worth remembering in it, and one of them (Friends on the Other Side) has some rather jarring transitions in tone that I didn't care for. The vilain was good, but the supporting cast- every one of them- were annoying and forgettable. I chuckled maybe once at the alligator, but not more. Firefly hick sucked. Voodoo grandma sucked. Fusilier's plot to somehow control New Orleans by killing one of its main sources of funds makes no sense. The main character is told to "compromise" on her work ethic and loosen up like the prince, despite not ever getting a satisfying explanation about why being a workaholic for her is a bad thing.

The film has none of the grace of its 2D predecessors, much though it tries, and if this failed to save 2D, it's plain to see why. It's not a bad film... but it's eminently forgettable, lukewarm, and hardly a classic. Literally being the "last traditional 2D film" is its only noteworthy point, besides maybe Fusilier... but even Fusilier, as mentioned previously, had his flaws, and not in a good way.

I'm going to go watch Wall-E again. Keep telling me that 3D has no heart.
>>
>>78493905

Facilier was the last truly great Disney Villain though, not counting guys like Lotso from Toy Story 3, Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts, and Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls.

Turbo/King Candy was good but had nowhere near as much of a pressense or charm.

>>78481237
>Wanted to see it but couldn't afford to.
>>
>>78481237
Because it wasn't very good or interesting.
I love 2D animation but Princess and the Frog's only saving graces were its villain and soundtrack. Everything else felt like it was trying to recapture what made the Renaissance films work without really understanding why they worked, mixed with a boring middle act and a surprisingly convoluted storyline.

Tangled and Frozen were better films.
