Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[Night Owl]

Well, that told me absolutely nothing about what the movie is going to be about.

Why does that happen?

Other artfags could answer this better than me but it’s a really common thing to lose the ‘energy’ of an initial sketch when you do the lineart in top of it. A sketch is often done in the flow of things, you’re not being technical about it or trying to keep your lines clean, you are free to be messy because, well, it’s a sketch. Cleaning up that sketch and doing proper lineart shifts the mind into being more controlled and careful and imo I get bored having to draw over my own work a second time.

Surfing I think.

Ooooh get prepared, if anything, it'll awake the Frozen fangirls.

And Frozen fangirls are probably inifinitly way worse than classical Disney spergs.

I'm sure it's that controlling factor that Walt's "Nine Old Men" had about not wanting to see their work distilled to the way it had looked before xerography came in.

It begins again.

Damage control for the Aladdin trailer, I see ...

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Ooooh get prepared,

No no no, not "get prepared." It's "BE PREPAAAAARED!!"

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

No no no, not "get prepared." It's "BE PREPAAAAARED!!"

Not in the live-action version though. Because Nazi.

 

[Fandom Trash]

I bet Disney didnt want to release the trailer until another month or so, but ended having too due to everyone disliking the Aladdin movie trailer.

 

[Shokew]

Frozen didn't need a sequel and this trailer does nothing to change my mind on this... Unless this turns out be some kind of war drama, like the last few seconds may have hinted at (and Disney don't seem capable of making that a thing with merit, either.), there isn't much faith to be had here, honestly.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m sick and tired of people screeching about how “unwoke” Ariel is as a character, so posts like these are very relieving.

It opens with crashing waves and grey skies - the conditions Elsa and Anna's parents died in when their boat went under. I wonder if Elsa and co. are trying to uncover whether their deaths were accidental or whether they might still be alive.

I remember the director of the first Frozen suggesting that Elsa's parents are also Tarzan's parents (which makes no sense considering they look completely different, especially the fathers). Not gonna lie though it would be kinda surreal if they still followed down that road.

I don't think those even take place in the same century.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

I don't think those even take place in the same century.

There was a lot about that statement that made no sense to me, such as the fact that Tarzan's supposed to be English and Elsa and Anna are Scandinavian.

Really the only thing you could connect between the two is that both sets of parents were lost at sea, which is extremely flimsy. It's just weird the director himself was making such bizarre fanfiction.

Tumblr as a force for critical and analytical good..... It doesn't happen enough anymore, for my liking. Damn shame - I have more of a reason to actually like The Little Mermaid, now - rather than only for just my secret crush in it (i e.: Ursula.).

I wouldn't even worry about it. Feminist critical analysis is nonsense in general, and 'Ariel gave up her voice for a man' is usually babby's first feminist critique. As such, the arguments supporting it are often hilariously undercooked.

That apologetic, however, is... not very good either. I know its en vogue to paint everything as a struggle between oppressor and oppressee, but dismissing Triton as a "bigot" who is stifling his daughter's wise open-mindedness simplifies the complexities of their relationship to the point of caricature. (And invoking the lyricists' death from AIDS as evidence supporting her point is simply tacky) The simplest and probably intended read of Triton and Ariel's relationship is that overprotective father and rebellious daughter. Ariel wants what she can't have and does stupid things to get it--just like every teenager who has ever lived. Trying to use that typical teenage behavior to make a point about feminism or bigotry nothing more than an exercise in intellectual wankery.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I'll admit, the scenes of Elsa trying to ice run through an ocean are pretty neat.

Hopefully Frozen II is better than Wreck It Ralph II.

 

[madethistocomment]

The animation looks really good (those waves!) and I like the general color palette of the trailer. Anna's new design is nice, too. They didn't really hint at anything pertaining to the plot, though. Guess I'll wait until we get a full trailer to see if it really hooks me.

I wasn't aware this was a big thing so I'm sure this point has been made before, but...switch the genders there. A guy giving up his voice for a girl. Isn't that now romantic, rather than misandrist?
