I think if they went with the Sweeting Bullets ghost story idea for Home on the Range instead of the Rosanne cow thing it would have been a lot more successful. An animated cowboy ghost story idea would have been pretty cool and could have linked in Phantom Manor.
Advantage is you can see all your movies and watch stuff you probably forgot you own. You can watch them on your phone.Oh, crap. You're going to make me talk to the nice lady at Crutchfield again, aren't you?
I have a bunch of old and beloved movies and shows on DVD and Blu-Ray. I recently packed them up and moved them two states away. And right after coming out of the Christmas season where I watch a lot of them for sentimental reasons (Pee-Wee's Christmas Special, SCTV Christmas shows, Dean Martin Christmas Specials, etc.). Plus the currently unfolding winter shelter-in-place season where I make my Aunt Ingrid's Swedish Glog recipe and then watch a bunch of old winter-themed faves I have on Blu-Ray like... Airport, All About Eve, Valley of the Dolls, Ski Party, Auntie Mame, etc., etc.
I do get what you're saying, but there's something comforting about putting a physical disc of some sort into a machine for me.
It's ceremonial, really. But it's only about 15% (at most) of my screen time now, so I kind of enjoy the ceremony.
And here I thought I was so cool for having a 4K laser projector on a modestly sized 100 inch screen that retracts unseen into the ceiling.
He may not be wrong, but at the end of the day, it’s irrelevant.
No, his statement is absolutely wrong. No one has a clue what Walt Disney would think about on any topic today. If he was still alive, his views on almost everything could and most like would have evolved over time. The only thing I think he would agree upon that it was a failure at the box office and that is it.
I meant he may be right that Walt Disney would have disapproved of the film. But as you say, it’s all just guesswork given that he’s long been dead, and it’s also a thought experiment with no practical bearing on anything.
Groundbreaking
? Here’s the problem…there are a few people in this thread, yourself included, who take it as a personal attack that not only did most people NOT want to see this movie, but most of those who did see it, found it a snoozefest to say the least. The same thing happened with Lightyear, etc. It should be understood by now that Disney, and some folks here, should realize that these movies DO NOT make money. People don’t want to watch these type of films. Universal is kicking your *ss because they make fun, entertaining movies. Start looking at things objectively without taking everything as a personal attack. And no, the man who made Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty, etc., would not enjoy a boring movie about climate change and plants with horrible characters.\
I’ve taken offence to many things said in this thread (because they’ve been truly offensive), but why on earth should I or anyone else take it as an attack that there are people who don’t want to watch Strange World or who’ve seen it and didn’t enjoy it? I don’t think you’ll find a single post to support such a farfetched claim.Groundbreaking
Same with the Lightyear thread, which contains lukewarm reviews at best. I enjoyed Strange World much more than Lightyear, but I didn’t love it, which isn’t the same as saying it’s terrible, because in my view it isn’t. But apparently the only authentic opinion to hold about the movie is a purely negative one, because . . . Walt’s office.
Maybe he was able to do a séance while he was in Walt's office asked he asked him about SW and got an answer that he truly hated it.
I mean it's possible.
It could be Strange World is in the discount theaters. We used to call them the dollar theaters. They always show old movies you can buy on DVD for years. They were good places to go on dates since no was in the theater. It was cheap and dark.Aim high, Burbank!
I find it interesting that Strange World is still in US theaters as of this weekend, over two weeks after it went to Disney+ for free. Although it's dropped down to 575 theaters, but still. The per-theater take is miniscule, so what's the point?
Here's the Weekend Take for the domestic box office that was released this evening; Strange World's 7th weekend in American theaters.
