A Terror-rific Spirited 13th (ToT fans have lots to fear)...

Forget live-action remakes, let's get some CG animated remakes of their live-action movies from the seventies. I want to see their dark and gritty interpretation of The Apple Dumplin' Gang

@Mike S.....THIS is theme park related. Universal filed for new patents... Looks like Mario Kart and an Iron Man ride to me.

#TBT to when Mysterious Island was almost greenlit for DAK. Simpler times

I was never very keen on Mysterious Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Verne wrote a lot about different animals that inhabited his worlds, but the focus was very much on man and his ingenuity.

Although different, I thought I would share this. I have this downstairs next to the beer fridge (duh). It still works perfect and I don't have to drop any money in it. I remind myself regularly that I USED to be really good at it.

Childhood dreams, coming true... must... not...

Found this on OU tweeted by someone named ThrillGeek, lol.

It'll be awkward if the patent turns out to be nothing.

I really hope this comes to life. Or maybe Universal was just messing with Disney. "We'll see your Dr. Strange M & G and raise you eight Iron Men. Your move..."

A better one is Antz vs. A Bug's Life. Pixar still pulled through and had the better film. I haven't seen Rio, so I can't comment on it, but it wouldn't be the first Pixar film to have a similar film come out around the same time.

I prefer Antz.

Watching Maleficent on SyFy out of curiosity. Wow this is bad.

I know, it was awful. Notice how she doesn't do anything evil in the movie, which goes against the entire point of showing the story from her perspective. They took one of Disney's greatest villains and turned her into a lame hero who looked out for Sleeping Beauty during her childhood because the fairies are completely incompetent in this version.

It looks like they could make it seem like you are doing jumps, which is a key part of the Donkey Kong mine cart levels.

Iron Man style patent looks uncomfortable as hell.

Alas she has her heart set on the Norway princess dinner. I'm envisioning a lot of awkward conversation a hover-hand photos.

A gentleman offers his arm to a lady, he does not take liberties, even with a hovering hand.

Address the princesses as "your highness" (or, if a queen, "your majesty"). After that you can say, "ma'am", but being a commoner, you'll eat your vowels and pronounce it as 'mum'.

It would be a kindness to ask a polite question regarding the royal's known exploits, e.g., "You highness, what was the most interesting thing about moving into a royal palace?" (applicable to Belle, Ariel, and Cinderella).

When you first enter, a royal will greet you with a photopass photographer at the ready. "C'est Belle! Magnifique!"

As they come to the table, you'll have to take your own pictures. So, have your cameras ready.

Maleficent is terrible. There wasn't one thing about the movie I enjoyed. Just all kinds of bad.

I think they were trying to give her the Wicked treatment

Jims Steaks, Fourth and South Streets in the heart of the motherland, Philadelphia....

Have you tried Dalessandro's on Wendover? Phenomenal.

Alright, don't get me wrong, Maleficent is terrible. It's an awful movie. BUT at least it tries to do something very different to justify its existence. There was a creative vision there even if it wasn't a good one. Same with the live action Alice films.

I'd take that over just straight remakes like Cinderella and (based on what we've seen and heard) Beauty and the Beast. They aren't changing the stories in any significant way. The visuals are heavily inspired by the animated versions. Why do those movies exist? They feel like straight up cash grabs with no creative vision behind them.

Like the back of a Volkswagen?

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

The drifting car vehicle illustrated in the patent is not going to be used on the Mario Kart ride (sadly). As of now, it's just a patent.

The patents sounds like a capacity nightmare.
