I want Dave the Barbarian on Disney Plus. It's been twenty years and I still giggle like an idiot at pedestrian crossing signs.

Also looking forward to the day Pixar stops the weird vendetta they have against Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and let us enjoy that.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has the Ped Xing brainworm. Dave the Barbarian was such a good show.

It probably isn't on Disney+ for the same reason The House of Mouse isn't: the show is a logistical nightmare when it comes to residuals.

And don't forget that, like the main film and its DTV sequels, it would probably the same content "warning" telling people about potential stereotypes and distasteful scenes that could be present in the show.

That's unlikely, Disney replaced Robin Williams with Dan Castellaneta for Return of Jafar and the TV series due to a fallout between Disney and Williams regarding contracts (IIRC it was advertising-related) and being the latter costing less. Williams returned to voice Genie in Forty Thieves but another Disney-Williams fallout occurred after it released which caused Castellaneta to "permanently" inherit the role until he was replaced by Jim Meskimen.

But look at Hercules. Stacked cast of people
Tate Donovan, Samantha Eggar, Sandra Bernard, French Stewart, Robert Stack, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jane Curtin, Betty White, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Stein, Lisa Kudrow, Linda Hamilton, Kathie Lee Gifford, Brad Garrett, Dietrich Bader, Will Ferrell, Idina Menzel, David Hyde Pierce, James Woods, Jason Alexander, Miguel Ferer, Richard Simmons, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Thomas Lennon, and Eric Idle.

Residuals out the wazoo. (btw it might just be one of Robert Stack's greatest roles by far. He is the narrator so he's in most episodes and even provides commentary with the muses sometimes)

Anyone else watch the new Muppets?

I thought it was okay, but it felt like it needed more time and just had a certain charm missing. I can see it doing well, but I think it needs more time to really build up as the first episode had too much happening.

Incoming muppetpost-

The voices need work and maybe should be dubbed by other people. Most of the puppeteering was excellent but Kermit's body language was pretty off from prior incarnations. Steve Whitmire never really grew on me as Kermit but I think the new guy is not even as good as him. And writers needs to make Kermit smart, and a smartass, again. He's been portrayed as a sad sack for decades now.

There were way too many cuts and camera angles in most segments. Like editing for editing sake. And this episode didn't really work as a comeback-special or a retro-special. The writers should choose one or the other. Plus it just wasn't very funny--though it was nice when Maya Rudolph died by choking on one of Beaker's eyeballs. However conceptually I don't like the idea of humans around who aren't the special guest. It feels wrong.

Dishonorable mention: the aggressively bad sound mixing/mastering, and use of autotune on Kermit. Maybe its broadcast thing but the audio compression was so extreme, that the louder audio got, made the volume actually reduce. Basically completely fucked. Might be better on d+...

Watching Abc was so insidious. Practically every ad was Disney brainwashing or "subtle" lefty propaganda (or both) it felt sickening. I almost feel bad for the younger creative types doing something with their heroes, but it's all just such gross corpo shit it's hard to care. After seeing this I almost think they should have kept continuity from the first Disney Muppet movie and had the theater torn down to put in an oil well.

Maybe eventually we will get the actual Muppet Show missing seasons 4 & 5 on dvd. Yeah right..

Also apparently the bitch who made the media part of the company lose more money than ever is going to get paid more than D'amaro.

That would be Dana Walden, Kamela's bestie who proudly announced she rejected shows that were not diverse enough and transed / pansexualised (?) her own kids.

Disney is irredeemable. The degenerancy is complete from top to bottom.
 
When Disney's Tarzan hits, my God, it hits. The opening - 10/10. No notes. Or how about this scene after Tarzan kills the leopard and brings it to Kerchak:

not a single spoken word of dialogue between them, and yet you understand everything. There are tons of moments like this in the movie. Whoever in casting chose Rosie O'Donnell for Terk needs to have a hammer taken to their scrotum/labia majora, however..

The movie felt less like an auter retard director/songwriter wanting to leave his mark on the industry forever by expressing his artistic inner soul and more like a cynical guy that gives 0 fucks about art but knows what people like making a musical popcorn summer movie for the masses. Ironically on point for a musical about PT Barnum.

someone said it would have greatly improved people's reception of the film if at the end he broke the 4th wall looked at the camera and said "and that's exactly how it happened" and then winked

quick reminder that the 2nd in command of disney back in the 90s claimed he got fired because he didn't like gay people. This was in the 90s, at what was considered the most family friendly company in the world, and even back then the gays had enough power to take out the second in command at disney and its already known that Chapek got tossed for not doing enough for the gays in his brief time there either.
