All this rubbish of racism, "this film will suck," etc.
As an older Disney fan, I'm actually rejoicing the return of these sorts of movies. I bet that more OLDER fans will go see this, then maybe the company will try to appeal to us more XD
and it would show disney cant do one thing without including a disney star. and it make the film look like a "cheap movie like HSM" (like someone said) and it would drive away classic Disney fans.
I'm glad Disney is going back to 2d, it's traditional roots. This movie looks soo beautiful. This movie better win an academy award like the Beauty and the Beast.
I say let the artists and creators experiment and express a new ways to think of cultures and people. Disney has covered many other races, so why complain about this one?
Let them complain. I just hope disney won't get over-compromised in the creativity of the story and characters just because they want to please everybody. To have a movie be successful, sometimes it's necessary to take risks and be bold, just like what they did with the little mermaid.
I wonder how it will do in the box office. I know I want to see it, and so does my sister and her friends, but we don't speak for the whole country lol
I just hope the marketing is as strong for this as it was for The Lion King
I wonder that too. Based on the poor performance of their last few 2D features, this one needs a GENIUS marketing to have any tiny shot at becoming a box office hit. And I hope this time it's not marketed by the same people who did the marketing for Bolt, on which they did a horrible job (and it's 3D!). I believe if Disney is smart enough they should've fired those people long ago and hired people who really know how to market a film, particularly an animated film. If not, then I'm very worried.
A great idea would be to have some of the more popular (obviously popular like Jonas or Cyrus, haha) to sing a song about/for the movie like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey did for Prince of Egypt. Miley singing for her own movie was the best marketing I had seen from Disney in years,
but somehow I doubt the team will even consider doing this. You are right, marketing has gone WAY down as if they don't want their own company to succeed.
No offense (and I say this with greatest respect), but HELL NO to the idea of having either Cyrus or Jonas Brothers sing the song. (Argh!) IMHO not only will it NOT help the movie, it will degrade it and make it look cheap like HSM (again no offense). The reason why having Whitney and Mariah sing for Prince of the Egypt worked is because they were both very phonemonal and well-respected singers in the industry. And it worked for Miley to sing for her movie is because, well, it's her movie!
And since this movie marks the return of the classic 2D animation, I think (as part of the promotion) they should do what they did in the early 90's - hire big names like Celine Dion (or Leona Lewis, to keep it current) who can really REALLY sing instead of some teeny tweeny disney stars. To have any slightest shot at being successful at the box office, this movie needs to appeal to a wider audience, not just kids and pre-teens.
Oh, none taken! I agree, but their popularity would be more than enough to push the movie since the target audience is infatuated with them, you know?
I know what you mean, but it's still a bad idea to me. Besides I doubt featuring a popular Disney star in a supposedly kid's film will guarantee a financial success. I mean look at Bolt. It had Miley Cyrus yet it still underperformed at the box office. Either she's not that popular or the movie was just not appealing enough (or it could be both). Whatever it is, this shows the popularity of a star is clearly NOT enough to push a movie (if only it were that simple). It takes so much more!
The thing is, a good cartoon needs nice voices not just famous people. If you notice, a lot of famous people can actually have very irritating voices. Miley certainly does.
Jonas and Cyrus will only help this movie for people who are a fan of pop music, which are mainly per-teen/teenage girls, and if they did use one of them two, it would really push away the older Disney fans who grew up with Disney films like Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast Lion King ect. So pop in every new Disney film is a big no no.
Why are people making such a big deal over Tiana being black? No one complained when Ariel was a mermaid, or when Jasmine was Arabian, or when Mulan was Chinese, or when Cinderella was British (I THINK she was British). So what happened? Did the entire viewing world suddenly go racist?
Nothing wrong with it at all. People are ridiculous about the silliest stuff. I never worried about that when I watched "Aladin" and I'm sure *no* child who's watched it has! It's one of those adults-getting-upset-over-kids-stuff things. Just like no kid's going to care that Tiana's African American or wonder what ethnicity Naveen is.
MST3K got it right: Remember it's just a show, we should really just relax.
First it's Tiana, and now they're turning on Prince Naveen, saying that he's too white or why can't the princess marry a black prince and blah blah blah! Gosh those people just won't shut up!
I know, right?! People need to stop dragging racist views into a KIDS MOVIE. The kids aren't going to notice or care, so why are the adults getting all controvercial about it?
"It's because of Obama." No it's not. Animation takes time. Like 4-5 YEARS of time. Which means this movie started out in '04, before Obama's presidency. And even if it WAS, they should just shut up, sit back, and if they're going to complain, then DON'T SEE IT. No one's forcing them to see it.
I mean, it's one of the most ridiculous things Disney has done. I mean, mermaids have contributed nothing to this society, and yet THEY could be a princess?! Nuh uh.
Exscuse me, but being 1/9th Merperson, I found your comment offensive. Us Merpeople are the reason the ocean stays as nifty as possible. Without us, there would be no wind, waves, fish, etc. And you're saying we don't contribute to society? BS.
Fish? You- you think there wouldn't be any fish without YOU!!?!!?
Woah there... ehem, but I think its us fish who created YOU!! Mother Catfish fell in love with a human infant... she then gave birth to the first merbaby, King Tritan. He used his magic to created many other merpersons. He is an EVIL man. He took away all fish's rights and made us work for him and his petty little kingdom. Imagine what we go through each day. >:l
I do indeed. Your dated monarchy kingdom (or should I say ANARCHY) kingdom, like SallySonic said, is run by a prejiduce king who would squash the amibitions of his own daughter to null his own fears of outsiders. Evil eeevvviiillll man.
But it is not your fault. Being 1/9 Merperson, you could spread the truth to your ancestors, and tell them that they don't have to put up with a ruler that holds them back. FIGHT THE SEAPOWER!!!!!!
I understand the complaint. They make other Disney princess and princes stay human the whole movie, but a few minutes into this one, the main characters are frogs. Some find it offensive *shrugs*
but I agree with you! They are very cute frogs that are charming and charismatic ^^..they turn back into people anyway right? Or maybe its gonna be like Shrek lol
I thought it was weird they called her "a new kind of Disney heroine" for "not waiting for her prince to come.", when that hasn't been new for quite a while. ;)
I never really thought Mulan was waiting for her 'prince' to come. Her movie is all about her going off to war, the fact that she fell in love in the process is just what happened, its not like the whole movie was about her searching for love, not like Ariel or Jasmine.
@silverwingedwitch In fact, she really just kinda crushed on Shang...what's so cool about her is that she didn't really fall head over heels in love with him. (at least...not in the first movie...but the sequel doesn't count anyways.)
Honestly, a large majority of disney heroines in the 90's were pretty independent.
well Jasmine was more along the lines of wanting princes to go away...she was looking for love but she had enough with princes.....and Ariel wasn't really looking for love but adventure but then she saw Eric and her adventure became love
