Re: The state and future of animation
Why did animation studios have a "no sequel policy" through the 1990's. The existence of theatrical sequels like The Rescuers Down Under , Fievel Goes West , and All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 seem to show otherwise. "Studios" didn't (and Universal clearly didn't), Disney did: After Disney's direct-video ...

Re: DMC Exclusive Disney Blus
I wouldn’t expect Mill Creek to issue The Shaggy Dog on Blu, as that deal was for decidedly "B titles" and deeper catalog oddities along the Touchstone lines that Kino were doing, or older 20th titles (the deal did announce that a lot of these releases, which still haven’t started to happen yet, wo...

Re: New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+
Iwájú : coming soon to Disney+ .... still looks cool, and (potentially!) very fun, though! And I unironically say, if Disney had management that greenlit THIS for a movie instead of the Frozen-by-numbers "Wish", I would have paid to watch it in a theater. 8) I have no idea what it's about, and it s...

Re: Disney Pixar's Turning Red
Must be a contractual thing, or at least a "favor" to Pete Docter to make up for shoving all his product onto D+ and to have "legitimised" them as theatrical releases outside of the super-limited awards contention runs. I keep comparing it to why Disney thought Fantasia 2000 had "flopped" when it u...

Re: Disney Pixar's Turning Red
Even a re-release would get attention back in the 90s, but here, it's treated with the "DONE that!" afterthought of another Fathom Studio Ghibli fest. FWIW, Mei and Mom at least got some West Coast (no Epcot Canada, sorry) park representation for Lunar New Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iahU6...

Re: Looney Tunes Golden/Platinum Collections
And just tangentially on the Looney subject: Would it be violating any political rules on the board to point out that in this week's court case, the jury found Yosemite Sam liable for an additional punitive fine of 8300 pounds, after posting a series of comments about, quote, "that rackin'-frackin' ...

Re: Looney Tunes Golden/Platinum Collections
If I made a list of favorite Bugs and favorite Daffy toons, I can guarantee more McKimson titles on each than Jones.
And with A Feud There Was, we're working our way through the early Egghead, but there's still Believe It or Else and Count Me Out to be archived.

Re: Soul
It feels more like contractual obligation, to say that these films played theaters-- They're playing regular release and not Fathom screenings, right? Unfortunately, streaming aside, this is the reality of re-releases in the physical-disc era, when studios kept claiming "Audiences want shorter home-...

Re: Prime Time Specials!
Always liked to watch RudolphSNY on disc during the in- between week before New Year’s, since the Rudolph specials were some of the….better Rankin-Basses? In that they didn’t use the usual corny ear-bending one-foot-in-front-of-the-other cookie-cutter Maury Laws-Jules Bass songs, but went back to Ru...

Re: The state and future of animation
Why is Japanese animation so popular, despite that country being where most American animation was outsourced to four decades ago? Four decades ago, when Starblazers was on local stations, I asked that same question. Three-and-a-half decades ago, I took a wrong turn at a gaming convention and saw t...
