Disney has such a huge back catalogue of IP that they can use to make all sorts of crazy shit, and Lord knows they have the budget for it. Instead we get inferior versions of their classic cartoons for some reason. Somebody should tell their board of directors that playing it safe in a creative field is a losing proposition.

[–] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have long speculated it's a way to keep copyright control of IP that may be entering the public domain, and people who enjoyed the original are more likely to watch the remake.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Snow White was written in the early 19th century, it was already public domain when Disney made their original movie. I suppose extending the copyright will keep people from naming their dwarves sleepy and dopey but they can make as many snow whites as they want.

[–] venotic@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The copyright though applies to their version of snow white, Disney's that is. Not the public domain version.

The issue is that Disney’s army of lawyers will claim that any Snow White is based on theirs, not the original fairy tale. And they’ll be able to win it in court, purely by turning the legal fight into a battle of attrition for the defense.

Imagine I make a Mickey Mouse cartoon, based on the original Steamboat Willie character, which is in the public domain. Disney will sue me and claim it is actually based on the modern character. And now it’s up to me to prove in court that it is not infringing on their modern character. And that becomes difficult when the line between the old character and the modern one is so blurred.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Stuff added specifically by Disney, like the names and peraonalities of the dwarves. Someone could make their own spin on snow White using only the original story as a basis though.

Meanwhile an animated remake of Batteries Not Included or The Black Hole...languishes.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Batteries Not Included is one of my all-time favorites

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The Black Hole is a fantastic movie (at least if memory serves, it's been awhile) that nobody seems to have heard of.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I loved it as a kid (when it came out, loved the robots and the setting) but it was critically not well liked in general. So, I don't think it holds up after the nostalgia wears off.

Though, it could easily be remade with a more coherent plot and cool special effects. Lol, could be out of the skill set of whomever they have making re-boots now, given the crap I watched on Disney+ lately.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

What in the world makes you think Disney is in a creative field? They are solely in a money-making field.

[–] crazyhotpasta@lemm.ee 20 points 6 days ago

You guys still go to Reddit?

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They got to complain about something now when Assassin’s Creed apparently didn’t “go woke go broke”.

[–] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not really. The new snow white actress is hilariously insufferable and I'm sure the movie is trash because everything Disney has done since endgame has been.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I've heard that a lot and have been meaning to check it out.

[–] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

That’s such a small subset of criticism you have to actually go looking for it. And if you’re not in those echo chambers but still in a community that’s critical you’ll get called out for that dumb shit as well.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Woah that movie has a 1.7 on imdb with 145k votes wtf

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I always feel sorry for the poor girl in this meme. That must have been a rough time.

Also, that guys elbow is bigger than his head.

[–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They're pro wrestlers doing a skit, so thankfully she's fine in this case. Enjoy your memes, friend.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Ah i didn't know that. Thanks!

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Don’t even give em a chance, drop it like a hot potato! Long live the fediverse!

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Animation is when for kids. No serious art is made with drawings. We use a computer to add drawings after recording, but it's still serious. Sometimes we just make the whole thing in a computer but it is still serious because it looks realistic. All real art is realistic, which is when it looks real. Otherwise it's for kids.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Good satire comment but unfortunately tone doesn’t translate well over text.

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Unfortunately the sistine chapel is made of drawings so I turned it into a playground for kids.

(to be clear this time, this is a joke)

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

I understand not getting these sarcastic joke posts on reddit since avarage reddit user is an idiot. But lemmy people who don't have commie symbolism in their name deserve 3 rereads and a think at least.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Hahahaha, something I will never do is let young kids watch The Brave Little Toaster or The Secret of NIMH. Awesome movies. Timeless stories. Terrifying as fuck. Pure Nitrous Nightmare Fuel. Maybe when they're 13 and have a nurturing adult with whom to watch.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just show them the animated Lord of the Rings, Neverending Story, and then finish it off with The Dark Crystal... They'll be ready for anything.

How to give your kids a perfect 1,000 yard stare with 5 G-rated films

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Make it an even 6 with The Fox and The Hound!

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

And Grave of the Fireflies as lucky number seven!

(google is telling me it has no rating so I'm sure those kids will handle it very well /s)

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

I mean have you seen those realistic pen portraits on youtube! Incredible art! those dumb modern artists and those middle age assholes painting fantasy trash have nothing on those!

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 81 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 47 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think it's like a cheap Lemmy knockoff
