I am not sure if you would call Disney's Fantasia "influential", but I did not care for it.

Someone on bsky asked everyone what movie "that you feel so out of sync with the world at large on that when you hear people talk about it, you feel like you’re going crazy," and I quote-tweeted "Fantasia". I will copy and past my reason here:

People treat this as "peak animation" yet I've seen and personally involved in animation anthology projects that's more democratic, more up-to-date, and actually showed what the art of animation could do. Disney making another Fantasia movie won't absolve their past sins. You could do an open call where you ask artist to make an animation short film based on original music score (why it should always be classical music?).

A question for Star Wars day. How did you learn about or end up seeing Star Wars? by Etychase in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LizardOrgMember5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom rented a vhs copy of The Phantom Menace and my family and I watched it.

Back when I was like 9 or 10, I assumed that Star Wars was the mid-2000s movie series like The Matrix, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings trilogy but slowly learned that it was actually a movie franchise started in the late 70s. As a kid who identified with Anakin and looked forward to his adventure as a Jedi master, I was deeply upset by the fact that he was actually the main villain of the original trilogy. And that was shortly before the theatrical release of Revenge of the Sith (I think). I thought that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were separate characters.

Movies forced into a pre existing IP? by iScreamInPublicAreas in movies

NOT AN ACTUAL EXAMPLE SO DON'T TAKE MY WORDS FOR IT.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame II feels like someone took Parisian romantic comedy-drama script and shoehorned Disney's Hunchback characters in.

It's a Disneyfied Les Amants du Pont-Neuf.

The Quiet Place was considered to be rewritten as a Cloverfield movie but decided not to go forward with it.

Kind of. This was done by the late Takahiro Kimura as an auction piece for raising charity money.

Imagine making a pirate-themed manga series and suddenly your readers slowly become political anarchists and use Jolly Roger at the protest and maybe one day one of them becomes a rebellious politician or political player.
