The short answer is creative bankruptcy. At this point it's pretty much all they know, remake and rehash. Maybe there's a stellar idea here. But after jungle cruise and haunted mansion, I'm going to have to say no. The best I can think to expect, is a film that I watch on streaming and say, I...

I know. But it keeps getting referred back to. The post I talked about actors wanting it had nothing to do with that sentiment, but it was brought up again as a response. There are interesting things to talk about with the tech. That's what should be the focus.

True. But they would be willing to buy a, insert awesome dinosaur land name, shirt. That's where Disney fails. People buy merch for adventure land, or tomorrow land. How about space mountain or thunder... If the land is great and the ride is great, I guarantee it can move merch. The problem is...

Yes, but it could be a catalyst to a wider use and pushing out the little guy who doesn't have that contract leverage. Are the James Earl Joneses and Fords of the world going to stick up for the others? I have no idea, but I'm not betting my house on it. We all know that no studio is going to up...

I did watch it. I would have to watch it again to make a final decision. But I didn't think it was that bad. I wouldn't put it as a top pixar film but it wasn't nearly as bad as what the majority of people said about it. Of course my expectations could have been so low from all the hate on it...

This is something I wanted to touch base on with this discussion. I think you will see the stars actually wanting AI because of this. They will push to have it that, they, or the estate, will get paid for using "their" voice. They can help train the AI so it's near perfect. And at the same time...

Maybe. But it was made to be a point by all the reaction. And that's the point I saw.

He also said it has been happening throughout history and he was railed on for that. It doesn't bother me because I know it won't happen to any amount of success in, probably my lifetime. If he thinks it a good idea, that's fine. But he's really not wrong with the other part. Replacing everyone...

I think we agree a lot more than not. Creativity is an extremely important part of life. Without it things would be pretty awful. At the same time, being a creative myself, I just can't say one loss is more acceptable than another. And that's what I got from the comments against @TP2000 ...

Maybe I didn't pay close enough attention. But what I got from what he was saying is that, this type of situation has come up throughout history. Lots of careers, creative or not, have been impacted by a change in technology. Does that make it magically right? No. But to say he's wrong because...

Yes he's impacted but not the way you have been talking about. He will still get jobs, his career as a voice actor won't be over. Yes, his brother could be impacted, I've said as much. Is that a bad thing? Of course. But someone here, I forget who, said when TP mentioned that jobs are always...

I agree to a point. Like I said, I have no doubt that Tom or his level of actor will in no way be impacted by this. Like I said, it's going to be the very low level actor that does the background type stuff that will be impacted. Now I can't say I've looked in to this, but my guess is Tom, or...

That's exactly right. Funny how a great trailer makes people want to go see a film. Marketing is important. That first push can be all the difference in the world.

That's a good point. As an example, Jim Hanks has a voice acting gig because he can sound just like brother. He has almost 30yrs of work, why? Because he's not Tom but can sound like him. The difference is Tom doesn't care because its his brother. AI voice work will most likely hurt the low...

At least we now have official confirmation that season 2 is a go. I have a feeling it won't be out until maybe late 25 but most likely 26. Hopefully they fast track it as I'm betting the basic screenplay is done.

I think we pretty much agree. I was just disagreeing with the thought that the majority of people here equate box office to popularity. When an exception comes a long, its been noted in my observation. When a tent pole does 200/300mil, it's pretty accurate, not popular. When it does 500/600mil...

I don't think that's really the case. Box office can be great indicator. Sometimes not so much. Movies like lightyear, wish, the marvels all did in the 200s. Not only is that not profitable it's pretty cut and dry not popular. Mermaid you could make a case either way. It did 570mil, so it had an...

I think this is a big part of it. Certain types of films lend themselves to a theater experience. So films like no way home, Maverick, mario, all still do extremely well I believe, even if it streaming 3 weeks later. Because they are movies people wanted to see. That's why I harp on the...

I'm in a spot where I just count on, none of it actually happns. Then when all we get is a Mufasa statue on the safari, my expectations have been exceeded. In all seriousness, I'm not sure how anyone can trust what they say. Even if they go forward, how many years will it take and how much...
