Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

[Disney Irish]

Yeah which means the IP isn't dead. Not every IP needs infinite spin offs and adaptations across every medium of entertainment to be constantly pumped out for the masses.

You seem not to like the word dead for some reason in this context. Not sure how you can say the IP is "alive", ie the opposite of dead, if its not being used, but ok whatever. So agree to disagree here.

There isn't a categorical monopoly on all IP by a singular corporation, but the majority of popular IPs are now owned by large parent companies... you've acknowledged this your previous post implying this is a "good thing for consumers," so now you're just shifting goal posts. It isn't just the IPs that "I like," lol.

And I do think having IP owned by active studios that can use them is a good thing for consumers as the IP then gets used. This is why I'm also very aware that many independent studios exists today that are creating new IP. So there isn't a shifting of anything, especially since there wasn't a "goal post" set here.

So this doesn't go on for pages and pages, we're just not going to see eye-to-eye here. So lets end this and say we both just see different sides of the entertainment business.

Why is it so freaking dark? It looks like a Zack Snyder movie. Someone at Disney is allergic to properly lighting a scene and everything has to be dark and gloomy with a gray/blue hue. My best guess is that it's to hide the shoddy CGI. The new Peter Pan had the same issue.

Listen I don’t know much about lighting, but this scene looked magical to my eyes! These last few weeks have convinced my family and me to go off and watch it opening weekend.

They certainly are going all in with the marketing. Pre-sales are very strong. This may actually do better than GOTG3 in the opening weekend. Still a bit too soon, but I think the box office will be strong overall.

Right now it is not too far off…last I heard projections are 110

Disney has shared a new behind-the-scenes video of the cast.

Send in the clowns.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? Are these the reactions of those who’ve seen advance screenings?

Yeah like they're allowed to publish general thoughts like "wow, I thought the 3D was really great" or "I don't think so-and-so's performance was very good," but they're not allowed to publish full reviews until the review embargo is lifted.

Thank you!

I've heard from those who have seen clips on big screens and such, that it appears a lot more saturated.

I have a feeling the lighting and coloring is not translating to the rendered down clips posted on social. Will need to see what it's like in a theatre.

Jodi looks absolutely beautiful.

Good thing Disney has their boogeyman lined up. Everything I'm seeing on the socials is dragging this through the mud for everything *other* than the casting.

You're really going out of your way to be obnoxious on this thread.

You're really going out of your way to be obnoxious on this thread.

This is the only thread on this board where people aren't allowed to express negative opinions.

Don't like the dining plan? Negative opinions are fine.

Don't like Bob Iger? Negative opinions are fine.

Don't like Christine McCarthy? Negative opinions are fine, and you can go ahead and be sexist while you're at it.

Don't like Genie+? Negative opinions are fine.

Don't like the cinematography in The Little Mermaid (2023)? You're obnoxious!

Ariel can’t naturally be nervous to kiss Eric, despite knowing it needs to be done?

It was only a clip of the song. Relax and wait to listen to it in its entirety.
