"No, we're not gonna f-ing do Stonehenge!" I forgot to mention I saw that new Pearl Jam documentary a few days ago. I want to see that PJ film. I watched Best in Show this weekend as well. For Your Consideration is on the docket for this week. Man, they make me laugh. I like Pearl Jam but I think they would be better in Dobly, and they haven't got a speedometer on their guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The Jungle Book. The new one. I finally got around to watching it. Not sure what to think. I thought the animation was very well done but the story kind of threw me. I have always been a big fan of the books and this was kind of a mishmash of the animated movie, the books and stuff they made up. I have to say I cracked up at Christopher Walken as King Louie. I loved it! This film had a nice feel about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the quality of the animation they have now they could've really done it justice. It was OK, I didn't hate it by any means. I just thought it could've been better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are merely adding new touches to the STUDIO classics. It's about adding to their legacy. It's never been advertised or sold as a straightforward adaptation. Wanting it to be something it's not is to let it get in the way of actually enjoying it for what it is. Disney are merely doing the same thing that has been going on for centuries: adding an (at the time) modern touch to age old tales. They did a great job with this movie.

MickIf they're hit and miss then wouldn't that probably mean they're doing things differently/taking a risk lately? If they did things the same then wouldn't it be "hit hit hit hit hit..." OR "miss miss miss miss..." due to the same formula being used? Whether you liked the movie or not, Frozen wasn't exactly the typical Disney animated film IMHO.

This company has been riding on Walt Disneys legacy for quite a while now. They need to actually do something good instead of rehashing an old movie. Going back to the literary source would be a good thing since the story they came up with was so lame. The animation was top notch but the hodpodge storyline was just limp and weak. Also, the songs were thrown in as an afterthought and really seemed out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
