Tessa Thompson should just go back to working on those Creed movies.

I miss the days when I saw her in those movies and really liked her. Then she had to keep on saying the most exceptional shit ...

Her acting is unfortunately as flat as her fellow Marvel-ettes Scarlett, Kit Harrington, Ruffalo, Finn Jones, Brie Larson, and Jeremy Renner.

Why else would they make the hotel not only insanely expensive, but based on fucking Canto Bight of all places?
It's incredibly confusing since the movie (through Rose) was not subtle at all at telling the viewer how awful and evil it is, where the rich literally get to watch slave labor and animal abuse in real time. But staying at the real-life version is better somehow? I don't fucking get it.

Just like with the live action 101 Dalmatians, people are going to learn the hard way that cocker spaniels are mean shits that are very unsuitable for family pets.
 
I noticed that too. If it were a modern retelling I wouldn't be too bothered by that, but assuming the story takes place during the same time period as the original then it's extremely unrealistic. Was interracial marriage even legal in that area in that time period? It wasn't fully legalized until 1967, but even if it was legal in that area in that time, I still don't buy it being accepted by other people.
Just seems like the new norm nowadays with what they're doing in films.
 
Just when you thought Disney was already scratching the bottom of the barrel for "new" content, they're bringing back Lizzie McGuire for Disney+
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/24/entertainment/lizzie-mcguire-reboot-trnd/index.html
(CNN) In the words of a teenage girl who snuck away from her class trip to Rome to stand in for an Italian popstar: This is what dreams are made of.
That's right, Lizzie McGuire is the next show to get a reboot.
Hilary Duff posted the news on her Instagram page Friday night that she would revive her role as Lizzie McGuire along with a video compilation of moments from the original Disney Channel show.
When the world met Lizzie (and her sassy, animated inner voice), she was 13 years old. But when we see her next, she will be in her 30s, Duff said.
The series will be coming to the new streaming service Disney+, the company announced on their Twitter page.

It's more then a decade since I last watched an episode of Lizzie McGuire. From what I remember the show was fun, typical early 2000's teen show, but I can't see the reboot being successful to be honest. I would rather rewatch older Even Stevens episodes then whatever Disney will put out today.

If this is just “Lizzie McGuire, but with no animated skits and more teen drama”, I’m out. Hell, even if it is just like the original, why would I watch that when I could just watch either The Proud Family or Phineas and Ferb which are being made by their original cast and crew again?

...Seriously: is this Disney+ or discount Toon Disney/Disney Channel? I feel like I’m back in the mid-2000’s.

I know right. It's easier for Disney to remake or reboot old shows and movies then it is to create new content. No doubt these shows are popular. It's just I didn't ask to watch Hillary Duff in her 30's play a role she last play as a teenager. But the fans will eat it up and proclaim it's the best thing since sliced bread.
 
Seeing that trailer reminds me of how Disney recently spent $175 million to remake Dumbo, and even with all that money, they couldn’t figure out how to make an elephant fly with the grace that it did in the 1940s. Recreating iconic scenes mostly highlights just how much better it was done in the original.

I hope every other actor they get is a real teenager so 30 year old Hilary sticks out like a sore thumb.

And when are we getting a Song of the South reboot?

Dumbo also had a moronic plot, bad acting, and dumb checklist ideas

Makes me pine for the Disney Channel of my youth when it was a PAY TV extra but the programing was superb.

EDIT: Found this clip!

For the record, I think the big problems with the new Cruella is that it misses what her design in the OG movie communicated. She was a lady who was hot business 20-30 years ago. Her car, her tail handbag, her gigantic fur coat, and her cigarette holder were all passe by the 1960s (when the movie was released), but would have been hot stuff for a wealthy debutante in maybe 1940 or so. It's really brilliant the way they establish her as a washed-up spinster, clinging to her vision of still being a young and sexy girl, through visuals.

I don't know if you could do Millenial Generation Cruella. I guess she could drive a 1999 BMW? I think they're trying with the punk/goth thing that was a big deal in the late 90s to Bush Years, but it doesn't have the same cultural meaning.

Speaking of appearances Horace and Jasper back there once again look way too comedic for this role. It outright amazes me that once again Disney refuses to make the live action Horace and Jasper any form of threatening. Sure in the original animated films they had goofy moments but they also were quite sinister and extremely creepy, oftentimes giving off the vibes that they would happily molest the puppies (and any children that happened by). Rather than looking like Diet Abbot and Costello they should instead look more like Uncle Ernie and Ollie Reed's The Artful Dodger.

Feel free to call me a basic bitch, but I’ve liked most of what has come out of Walt Disney Animation since Lassiter took over the division in 2006, with the very uneven Ralph Breaks the Internet being the exception. That being said, it was nice to see them announce another original film to be released after this year’s Frozen sequel. Raya and the Last Dragon comes out Thanksgiving 2020 and I can’t wait to hear the same people hoping the dragon is a lesbian

Tbh it should be Siouxsie Sioux set to music by Siouxsie and the Banshees directed by Sofia Coppola
 
Just read an article that said that we "NEED" Disney+ because it has a Proud Family revival on it.

From what I recall, Proud Family was a really mediocre show that had obnoxious characters and choppy animation. I mean was the Proud Family some kind of big deal back then? Is that why people think it and Lizzie McGuire are a big motivator to subscribe to Disney+ now? I can understand that Phineas and Ferb show since almost every site and even people here talked about it, so I guess it was pretty damn big, but the Proud Family was basically a "literally who". And as for Phinease and Ferb, it feels like they're just m;lking it for popularity despite that, from what I understand, it already had an official ending. Unless it wasn't conclusive? Either way, these unnecessary revivals are getting on my nerves. Only reason I enjoyed the Samurai Jack and Zim revivals were because their shows ended on cliffhangers that never resolved the core plot of their shows, thus it gave them some nice conclusions. These other revivals however feel really pointless other than to milk nostalgiafags of their money and take advantage of this revival craze.
