since you are talking about disney related stuff, i've been meaning to ask you if you had heard or had interest about Onward, Big Hero 6 or The Good Dinossaur movie, or even the Disney Fairies Franchise. In my opinion its by far the only recent medias made by Disney/Pixar that i fully indulge and i find you could had be done more for it but it was cut away, probally because it wasn't seem as profitable. But i feel like this movies really had a lot of care put on it and it really resonates with me!
I've heard about every Disney movie coming out because I exist in the world... LOL.
I'm sorry, my opinion on almost anything disney is going to be pretty negative; I don't really recommend asking me about them... I'll be honest in my opinions but they will be disappointing.
Onward: quite ugly to me, and I dislike this kind of world/humor... do not want, I won't watch it. This is not my genre of brocon at all!
Big Hero 6: funnily enough, rewatched this recently! I have to respect that this movie did more for the fujoshi than many modern things. Doujinshi to this day. This time when I watched however, I was distracted by how Honey Lemon puts in the effort to pronounce Hiro's name in the japanese style (though unfortunately she flipflops and pronounces it American-style later, than again correctly... so I don't even know if that was a directorial choice or just a choice on the part of the VA?). I also got an odd impression both her and the purple-streaked girl wanted Hiro carnally, anyone else get that. I would sooner stan Honey Lemon, she seems more like the kind of vibe he needs. I don't think he needs a kool tuff girl. However as a movie/story I think it's not good, the usual sloppy & incomplete theme/message I see in all modern(ish) Disney. A lot of hollow scenes, timewasting, filler, predictable. I care a lot about narratives about loss due to my own experiences with it, and this one definitely doesn't convey anything important on the subject, and doesn't seem earnestly concerned with doing so, so much as just being a superhero movie that happens to involve a loss. Which is kind of typical of the genre. I don't really go to anything superhero for moving tales... or significant messages...
the Good Dinosaur: I have powerful dislike for dog mannerisms being used as shorthand for 'animal behavior', so the kid acting like a dog annoyed me and wasn't cute or funny... I felt like this was a very straightforward western genre/trope movie, which isn't a genre I like, so I didn't like it. However I had a friend who LOVED westerns and adored it, so I can't say what is a fault of the film VS me just not liking the genre itself. You could probably show me the best representation of the western genre ever and I wouldn't like it. I don't think there was ever any chance for me to enjoy it. I would actually say similar of Big Hero 6, as superhero films are not for me, generally.
Disney Fairies franchise: I haven't watched any of these, but I'm familiar by proxy. I'm glad they made it and it seemed to service a solid demographic which appreciated it a lot. I like the uhmm plot of the sister movie, it amuses me... sisterlove that cannot be.. parallels to a romantic relationship between a king and queen... I love it when things do this.
I have a funny headcanon for it all though.. those movies are 'prequels' to the Pan movie, which makes one wander what the fuck happened to Tink to make her reduce to such simplistic, unreasonable behavior despite all the nuance in Pixie Hollow. I like to think she wanted to separate from the fairies one day, adventure on her own, and their godqueen was like "no, if you leave the, moonstone or whatever for far too long, your mind will deteriorate, and you will soon only feel 1 emotion at a time, and may never be able to find your way back! Do not do this Tinkerbell!" but Tinkerbell is like fuck you I do what I want!! And therefor she falls in love with a little boy.
I would like the fairies franchise to come back, but it should be more no holds barred and get crazier. I still probably won't watch it however because I feel nothing for little fairy women .... I uhmm don't need to look at it. But it's good for the ecosystem... like Barbie movies...
