Now that's not nice, Paul Lynde had a beautiful silver tongue.

maybe its just a shitty liberal background, but thats part of the fun, people forget how different Gen-X was especially when it came to stuff like sex. teen pregnancy was at an all time high around that time despite the AIDs crisis for a reason. talking about sex was and considered "part of puberty" back then, younger sisters mocking the main character for being a virgin or loser was a huge trope back then.

also virgin blood is such a huge trope in old timey stories that it shouldn't be as big of a weird note and only is because of how sanitized these stories have become. sure people of a certain age will point out how weird the sex stuff is, but i bet to zoomers the whole "everyones white and straight" thing is another point against it. You might as well question why there aren't any moms in old animated disney films or why chose ones always seem to be adopted/orphans. don't blame the film for the weird cultural hangups of the prussians from centuries ago.

almost no halloween movies that aren't horror, like others said "its disney so its ok" meaning constant reruns. it also has an amazing cast for its genre, and the special effects and performances outclassed the rest of the "non-horror films set around halloween" genre.

I was a huge fan of 13 days of halloween as a kid and i can tell you most of the films shown on tv were mainly either stuff with ghouls or spooky things like casper or made-for-tv movies like disney channel would play nonstop that month or special halloween episodes.

This does bring up another point about "for kids" entertainment. what people believe should be ok for kids, especially now is much stricter than years ago. I remember Rocky Horror being my favorite movie as a kid, having it on a constant loop at family gatherings because of slightly older (middle school) cousins into it.

Which is why i was shocked at how badly i got lashed out at when i babysat some kids and put on the goonies for them. I don't know if you people remember The goonies, but its much more curse word heavy than you realize. no fucks but its basically a South Park episode in terms of word usage. Mind you i bet no one you know anywhere on the planet ever mentioned how "not for kids" that film is. especially when it was released. for fucks sake its almost the stereotypical kids adventure film. its ironic too because i was getting in trouble for showing a 12 and 10 year old the goonies because it contained naughty words when thats roughly the same ages of the cousins that introduced me to a sweet transvestite from another planet. seriously though, a lot of people are going too far in the other direction about what kids can and can't listen to, and its quite absurd.

We must be of similar age because I never found the virgin plot point of Hocus Pocus to be weird. I thought it was common for witch stories to require virgins because that was how certain spells worked. Nobody thought twice about it in 1993 either, it feels kind of tryhard for people to look back on it and go "And not only do they say virgin in a DISNEY MOVIE, it's even a plot point for the witches spell! Isn't that just weird and wrong?!" I didn't think it was weird how guy-obsessed Sarah Jessica Parker's witch was either, I thought it was funny as hell.

Also I don't think 10 and 12 year olds are too young for The Goonies, they're basically the same age as half the main characters. I mean, yeah they say shit a few times, but you'd have to be really sheltered to have never heard shit at that age (let alone use it).

Good or even decent Mario and Zelda lands will get the response Disney wishes it had for Galaxy's Edge.

I mean, if they delivered what they initially promised they probably would've. Instead it was extremely bare bones outside of detailed scenery. Whereas Super Nintendo World was exactly what was promised, with room to expand.

I'd think the little sister talking about how her brother loves "yabos" might be a little more weird...

Yeah, I find the modern objection to Hocus Pocus hysterical too. It's just a teen comedy crossed with Halloween horror story. Why wouldn't it have tame sex jokes, it's exactly fitted for the kind of audience they were going for.

And the three witches were based on the classic stereotype of The Smart One, The Fat One and The Hot One, so again, what is the objection? Fucking Scooby-Doo used that trope in one of their relatively recent animated films.

I thought it was the maiden, mother and crone, if I'm getting what I know about mythology right...

Pretty much but it was also cribbing from the Hollywood stereotype of the girl trio simultaneously so it was kind of a mix.

 

[YB Cool]

The most amusing aspect of Hocus Pocus is that all three witches are Semites.

Typecasting!

I didn't know horses could be Jews. But Sarah jessica Parker has not aged well at all, not even the makeup can help anymore.

It's just a teen comedy crossed with Halloween horror story.

It's PG, it's not a teen comedy. Teen comedies feature a crap ton of sex jokes and more adult situations (like in American Pie when Jim fucked the pie) and also tend to be rated R. Hocus Pocus was aimed at families, so of course it's going to have some jokes for the parents.

So I just saw Lightyear and holy shit is a bad movie...

Leaving the wokeness aside, the movie structurally is bad, the characters are forgettable and feel forced, the narrative is shit (like top tier autistic shit) and in some places the cgi was choppy and blurry.

What the fuck is going on with Disney tanking their projects?

I swear I’m the only person who’s pointed this out so far, but that new movie they’re making, Strange World, is literally just a massive ripoff of Wayne Barlowe’s Expedition. Everything from the creature designs to the premise to even the color palettes are uncannily similar to the book in question. What’s the premise you ask?

Basically a flying spaceship of sorts is sent to record and study the life on a planet known as Darwin IV; Meanwhile Strange World has a bunch of characters in a flying spaceship seemingly studying/recording the alien life that is strikingly similar to Darwin IV’s.

The whole book is essentially an exploration on what actual alien life would look like, and while fantastical in nature is still grounded in reality. There was a TV special for it that aired many years back called Alien Planet.

To give you an idea of what I mean, here’s some screenshots I took compared to illustrations from the book (sorry for the lack of spoilers, currently on mobile and also a newfag)

There’s some other creatures that are harder to make out in the trailer, but they resemble creatures featured in Expedition.
There’s absolutely no way this was just a coincidence, “heavily inspired“ be damned. Not to mention Expedition is kind of an obscure book already, so it‘d be easy for them to get away with it. At the very least I hope they credit Barlowe if this is the case (although they probably won’t either way).

I was finally happy to see something fresh out of Disney, but I honestly shouldn’t have expected anything less.

(Edit: Picture files are acting retarded for some reason. Sorry about that, I’m not sure how to fix it. At the moment you can click and download the pictures via the links but that’s about it.)

Yeah but the Disney movie has gay shit in it!!!

Oh yeah, he’s a great artist; I even heard he helped with the creature/flora designs for Avatar.

Here’s even more similarities I noticed.
So in the movie it looks like they’re gonna have some sapient little amoeba lookin’ thing as the characters‘ sidekick.

Lazy character design aside, after looking at it for a bit I couldn’t help but notice a similarity between it and another sapient, blue-colored, jelly-like, multi-limbed species on Darwin IV, aka the Eosapiens.

I know this one’s a bit of a stretch (especially since the latter are massive compared to humans), but you can’t deny that the similarities are there, right down to both of them looking to be the most like humans in regards to intelligence and behavior on their planet.

Wouldn't be the first time Disney 'borrowed' ideas from other already existing medias, such as the Japanese 'Kimba the White Lion' movies/series being where they got a lot of their Lion King ideas and material from. There are many other such cases, both proven and unproven, but it seems like Disney has always been doing this, just it was easier to hide in the early days of the internet.

That's false, it was the 1997 Jungle Emperor Leo movie that "borrowed" from The Lion King. YMS went into great detail to debunk it.

Maybe because Disney keeps trying to appeal to manchildren and woke activists. Also, this trend of making relatable, quirky characters.
