Cartoon/Western Animation General

The whole mainstream entertainment industry leans far-left. It’s hardly news.

@Background Pony #64A4  
Most creative arts has a left-leaning slant. It’s been like that…Hell, that’s probably always been true for human history.
 
It’s just the nature of the thinking processes necessary to become an artist, you tend to “think outside the box” or you’re generally a bit weird. Such things sort of push you to becoming that way.

Lord knows what a CGI Stitch would look like.

@ice1517
 
How about no.

@ice1517  
And it’ll still end up being better than the Stitch! anime.

@Background Pony #0966  
No it won’t.
 
Enough people don’t know that exists so i never see it, that alone makes it better.

@ice1517  
Another live-action remake yay…
 
But Disney still sees success in this, they’re not stopping anytime soon. Just you wait, they’ll eventually get to their Direct-to-DVD sequels too.

@TheSupremePatriarch  
That’s if they realize that DVD’s are slowly on their way out.

The live-action remake trend should stop.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I was fine with the “Lion King” live-action/CGI remake, (especially with James Earl Jones reprising his role) but with so many other live action remakes announced on the horizon, Disney’s really going overboard, and starting to run the novelty of the idea into the ground.
 
Don’t get me wrong, the ‘90s “101 Dalmatians” was an interesting remake, in that it did some things different, while still staying somewhat true to the original. And the “Beauty and the Beast” remake was pretty good, and stayed almost entirely faithful to the original, (doing some things different here, and there) but it’s still no replacement for the original animated feature.  
And I kinda prefered Gaston literally stabbing the Beast in the back with a knife, as opposed to shooting him in the back, (several times) as it seems more symbolic of his treachery, and cowardliness.
 
Plus, I’m sorry, but “Aladdin” is one of my favorite Disney animated features, and I can’t imagine a new live-action one, especially with Robin Williams passed on.
 
@TheSupremePatriarch  
I dunno, I think some right-wingers or moderates can think outside the box, and be creative too. Politics have nothing to do with talent.

@ice1517  
I like it already. Sorry to disagree, Ivy.
 
(I like emo deadpan Poison Ivy.)

@ice1517  
that deadpool joke still hurts.

@Angrybrony  
It made me chuckle, but it’s sadly true though.
 
Hopefully, Deadpool will get his own cartoon too someday.

@Beau Skunky  
It is someday. And they cancelled it.

This doesn’t only count for Disney movie remakes, but live-action remakes in general. The animated one is, more often than not, fine as it is, and at best, a live-action remake winds up being completely unnecessary, while at worst, it’s downright awful and ruins the original’s enjoyability.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Looks at TLA

@TheHappySpaceman  
Agreed.
 
Plus it’s just boring. Cartoons are fun, making them more ‘real’ isn’t an improvement.

@igotnopicks  
The problem with that one was more it’s liberal take on the source material’s story than it being live action.

@igotnopicks  
TBF, that didn’t ruin the original’s enjoyability. It was just bad and I found it easy to ignore… at least until they announced that they were making another live-action version of it.
 
@LightningBolt  
Exactly! People who think that media needs to be “real” to pull an audience in are just too closed-minded. There are no limits to what animation can do. We just need to keep pushing.

@TheHappySpaceman  
@LightningBolt  
There are some exeptions, I liked the “George of the Jungle” live action movie when I was a kid, and it captured the sillyness of the old cartoon nicely, while fleshing it out more, and modernizing it a bit. In fact, I actually liked it better then the animated revival series they did a few years back.
 
The “Rocky & Bullwinkle” movie also did a good job with the characters, as well as satirizing itself, (and the concept of cartoons going live-action in general) much like the original show did. Plus, it had Jonathan Winters cameo in it.
 
Also, whatever happened to the reverse? Making animated cartoons out of live action movies?  
I know, some hate those, but personally, I loved the animated Beetlejuice, The Mask, and a few others as a kid.

@ice1517  
Harley is overrated tbh

@Beau Skunky  
It’s a trend, not a rule.
 
Thing is flouting social norms is common in the arts, as is challenging traditional thinking, it doesn’t mean you can’t be conservative, but being a traditional conservative doesn’t really gel with that mindset.
 
Even most right winger artists tend to be of the libertarian sort anyway.
 
@PonyPon  
It’s problem was that it was utterly awful. Every line of dull, boring dialogue was exposition. Every emotion, if there was any, comically over the top. The ambiance sucked, the pacing sucked, the action sucked…
