Incredibly pissed.
Fucking livid. I hate having this damn fetish, it makes me live a life of disappointment.
>TFW you'll never be a tiny bf.
They cancelled it because of people like you.
>Gigantic
Threadly repost.
Neither, though I'm pretty let down. Also "Shelved" doesn't mean "Cancelled." Rapunzel was shelved like 3 times, The Snow Queen was shelved a ton of times between 1938 and 2013.
That's bullshit, Zootopia was still a thing and furries were far more vocal about their fantasies than us giantess fags.
I'm happy, because his movie looked like a routine gesture to their other recent stuff. Plus this story has been done a lot already, and this by no means looked like a definitive version, of sorts. The only people who seem to be disappointed are the loathsome creatures that are fetishfags.
Possibly but Rapunzel Unbraided was going to be Disney's Shrek, then when everyone was making post modern fairy tales they experimented with the 'moving oil painting' style before settling on a traditional fairy tale when Lasseter kicked Disney Animation into shape.
Disney's modern films always get extensive rewrites but they've never said 'nah no plans for this any more' to a film.
To be honest, there hasn't been a good Jack and the Beanstalk adaptation for a long long time (Mickey and the Beanstalk the last good one?), we're due a good one.
Don't care. Give me Frozen 2 already.
yass queen
Not mad, but not happy either. At least it wasn't the only movie being worked on, and who knows, we might see it again in a different form.
What's the furry equivalent of Buddy Lee?
I did not realize they announced a replacement.
As long as they're churning out something new rather than sequels, I'm good.
Here's what I know from my friends at pixar, yes I know this project was NOT pixar, but this what they've said.
Rumor is two other animation studios are working on similar projects. That's not entirely why it was canceled, but I forget who is working on a "giant" movie. Could be blue sky, or dreamworks or whoever, but in 2-3 years we'll see if a jack and beanstalk movie comes out.
Disney is also looking to reboot more of their franchises. Like how we're getting "live action" remakes on animated ones. There's heavy rumors circling about Disney doing animated remakes of live action movies. So, Honey I Shrunk The Kids may get a remake. That's another movie with big and little people and property has brand recognition.
The biggest problem I heard about Gigantic was making it "Disney" every sort of pitch was not felt strong enough and could be easily copied and didn't have an iconic enough feel. Didn't feel marketable or unique that people would see it.
>I did not realize they announced a replacement.
I don't think they did, which is why he said "mystery fairy tale". They're not just going to not release a movie whenever Gigantic would have come out.
They haven't really announced a replacement but they said they're moving in another fairy tale to replace it. It's probably reasonable to assume it's going to be something with a princess.
That said, it's not entirely unthinkable they have another go at Mort.
>Replacing Jack and the Beanstalk movie with Honey I Shrunk The Kids movie
Just switch protagonists.,or their genders.
Worked great last time.
Dreamworks have already done a 'giant' movie though.
They'd better not announce a cliched as fuck 'what if jack was a grill' that's been done a million times.
Not sure Honey I shrunk the Kids would be a good idea when the Michael Crighton 'honey I shrunk the kids as a horror' film is in the pipeline.
Who was in the wrong here..
>Diaz: I'm boycotting Disney because of the Tangled naming style
>Leth: Gimme a fucking break
Definitely Diaz
I dont know all the other animation studio names and projects these days, so idk if them or illumination or whoever, but one of them seems to have it in development, rumor is two of them do.
Seems more likely to be illumination. Dreamworks have a pretty full schedule (although not sure they've announced anything for 2018 which is odd)
>HTTYD3 16 months away
>author's next series is then getting adapted
Anyone read Wizard of Once?
>Disney doing animated remakes of live action movies
That could be interesting
Not sure Disney have many good live action films to remake?
Song of the South is never going to happen (it's boring as fuck anyway), Bedknobs and Broomsticks doesn't seem like it'd work.
Happy. The last thing the medium needs is another princes movie based on a fairy tale with a one-word-title and nothing profound to say or add. Disney needs some originality.
There's a lot of studios. It doesn't take much for disney to see a concept is too similar to want to change theirs or cancel it. I know Puss in boots did giant stuff and if they were bringing it back in shrek 5, that would be enough to pull the plug. I think the concept in "Smallfoot" is actually close to what Disney had in mind too. It's yeti/bigfoot stuff, but still similar ideas are being used. I had just heard the project was not hitting the marks and being unique enough and that's why it got canceled.
reminder that this means nothing
They've done some here and there. Race to witch mountain with the rock. They did Pete's Dragon recently, but that ddin't go too well.
They're not gonna stop, there's just rumors of "new approaches" to them and looking at the animation slate and trying to work in more films. Pixar has been pitched properties. It seems to happen every year, but they pass every year. Im not privy to what properties disney has pitched pixar to do, but so far, they're not happening.
Honey I shrunk the kids, flight of the navigator, hocus pocus, the rocketeer, the santa clause, homewardbound, a handful of iconic 80's and 90's properties are being looked at. Animation is being looked at because these films usually star children. Disney doesn't want to commit to the franchises by green litting sequels before the release of the initial project. However, if it's animated, you can make a sequel 2-5 years later, and the kids can be 1 year older in animation.
I actually recall homeward bound having strong potential for an animated release.
>mystery fairy tale
You mean Frozen 2?
Why does it have to feel "Disney"? Did they really cut it just because they couldn't make it marketable? I thought Disney Pixar is where you can make your dream animated movie possible. This is why I couldn't be able to work there. John Lasseter and crew try way too hard to make it stuck to the brand. Make it fucking funny and different and I'm sure it would've done well.
nah, yet another musical with llin-manuel miranda music directed by howard byron
>I thought Disney Pixar is where you can make your dream animated movie possible.
Yes, and someone's dream animated movie was Home on the Range.
It's not live action, but I genuinely think a Sword In the Stone remake (still animated) would be kino if it was made more faithful to the original novel (basically keeping to the book's strong pacifist themes).
or unfinished zoodystopia
or kingdom of the sun
or american dog
The creator.
>2018
They could've but they haven't ever since Larrikins got cancelled which is strange since they have so many projects that have been in development since 2009-2012.
Oops, I meant to reply to ...
lol
What's funny to me, as much shit as home on the range gets, its similar in style to chicken little, its trying to be more tex avery in style. One just gets the mark of killing 2D, even though chicken little was in production before home on the range even came out.
I think they are lying when they say they couldn't make the story work and just wanted to free up resources to get frozen two out faster.
fetish fags are upset, so I'm glad.
>There's heavy rumors circling about Disney doing animated remakes of live action movies
I don’t believe this but that would be really cool. I think I’d like to see The Three Lives of Thomasina resurrected in animated form, that was a favorite of mine as a kid.
>honey I shrunk the kids as a horror
Isn’t that just The Incredible Shrinking Man?
I thought HIStK was just TISM as a family film. Has it really come full circle?
Didn’t The Big Friendly Giant just come out relatively recently? Did it do well enough that there’s really such a demand among studios for more giant films, or did the studios finally wise up to the idea that they don’t have to immediately cancel projects just because a different movie with a similar premise didn’t take off well?
Remakes shouldn’t be of particularly good films anyway. They should be made to improve on not great and not popular films with good ideas that didn’t meet their potential the first time.
Aren’t films like The Thing and The Nutty Professor and Homeward Bound remakes?
Only if it's a war film.
...
>I don’t believe this but that would be really cool. I think I’d like to see The Three Lives of Thomasina resurrected in animated form, that was a favorite of mine as a kid.
You liked that movie? I hated the annoying little girl cunt daughter of the main male character. She was so obsessed with that stupid cat that she was essentially a crazy cat lady. Then she asks her friends to sabotage her father's employment by spreading rumors that he kills domestic animals by purposely not healing their injuries so they die (man worked as a veterinarian). What an infuriating movie. And they make it seem like the man is wrong and junk like that ignoring that if he cannot find work, he would eventually end up starving (and same to his cat lady crazy daughter who sabotaged him). Fuck that infuriating movie. May it never see the light of day again.
Chicken little flopping hard caused a MAJOR shakeup at Disney, they realised you couldn't rely on 'knowing' retellings of stories. It's what made them re-invest back into traditional fairy tales.
react
I'm glad it went nowhere. Fuck the fetishists cunts.
I’m terrified of the day I become old enough that I start realizing there’s no way I’ll live to see all the different forms of entertainment I’m looking forward to.
Did they really cancel it partially due to Internet fetishes?
> MULAN
I smell more Szechuan Sauce™ in the future.
>Is the company that made a furry movie last year afraid of fetishists
BFG flopped hard which is a shame as they captured the title character perfectly. Problem with it was that it was about 20 minutes too long and made the bad giants goofy rather than terrifying.
It's called Micro, basically they get lost in a jungle rather than a back garden. Lots of spiders, ants, birds and people dying in horrific ways. Suspect it'll be toned down and made more accessible.
Think a whole film like the insect + leeches scene from Kong.
It got cancelled because they couldn't find a way to have the story where the female character wasn't wrong for treating the male character like an object.
m tird of that shit too.disney mvoies are specifically formulatic.
Zootopia was pretty fetishy, they probably didn't care all that much other than given the story a once over for especially bad stuff.
I'd wager the age of the lead was the main sticking point. 7 year old girls don't want to dress up as 11 year olds, they want to be princesses.
Yes, but as a small child, I didn’t realize the greater implications of the guy’s professional reputation being ruined, and I identified strongly with the little girl because I was a little brat myself. Also the people’s problems were secondary to me caring about Thomasina and her story. When I grew up and read the book as an adult, I began sympathizing with the dad instead and enjoyed it just as much seeing him overcome his personal struggle. Poor guy wanted to be a people doctor but got stuck in veterinary through circumstance.
They cancelled it because they needed to clear the schedule and resources for all their sequels.
>Zootopia 2
>Frozen 2
>Wreck it Ralph 2
>Incredibles 2
>Toy Story 4
>Cars 4
And those are just the ones I know they've announced off the top of my head. Not sure if they're still planning on doing Tangled 2 or not. But the future of Disney is sequels sequels sequels.
They need to have a fairy tale film where the main character isn't a liar/thief/anti-social douche. So many films with perfect princesses but all the men are heavily flawed.
>Zootopia
>other than given the story a once over for especially bad stuff.
That stuff still got into some merchandise.
So what good fairy tales have they never touched?
Rumplestiltskin would be a tough sell given there's no romance and Disney would be uneasy about the villain.
Most of the other fairy tales I know are too dark for them to make suitable (yes I know about the red hot slippers, crows pecking out eyes, suffocating corset etc).
>Rumplestiltskin
Shrek 4.
That was too meta to be sexual and they made sure there weren't any 'hot' naked animals.
>ignoring that if he cannot find work, he would eventually end up starving
I forget if the movie made this clear, but he and his father before him were the lifelong town veterinarians in a small scottish rural town. The local farmers would never have let him go without food just out of gratitude for the amount of times his family saved their livestock and livelihoods in the past and would tell the petfags to get fucked. He wouldn’t have been hurting for food. It was his professional pride that was at stake, which to be fair was still very important to him personally.
The actual story of the Snow Queen could be an amazing movie. Frozen may have made Disney the big bucks but a more faithful adaption would have made for a better movie.
i liked he bdsm fetish version
The original story had some really cool lore with demons and a mirror and everything.
Frozen didn't have a lore. The idiots made it too complicated and in the end decided to scrap it completly instead of streamlining it.
Really fucked with the movie.
ut we got modern Lion King instead!
Would they adapt The Brave Little Tailor?
Guessing not as the princess in that is pretty shitty
Was this a retooling of Jack and the beanstalk? If so, good. Fuck off with that shit. Easily one of the shittiest fables out there.
>my family is starving
>hurr durr better trade our cow for magic beans
>go up a giant plant into sky where everything's just big and nothing else interesting
>steal someone's property
>commit murder
>the end
What a shit story.
if this wasn't meant to be sexual i don't know what is
>>shakira herself alsked for hips
It looked to have a completely different plot.
Jack was an explorer, Giant was the daughter of the leader of the good giants, at war with the frost giants.
>Shrek
>Disney
In concept only. The mc was going to be a Spanish conquistador who was in search for the lost city of gold or some shit. Who happens to find the beanstock, only to find the top of it is inhabited by giants. A little girl finds him and keeps him as a pet/toy. Towards the end of the movie though she learns to respect him as a human and he learns to stop treating her as a child and the two become partners. There's also these evil giants who want to kill the humans or something?
>>Shrek
>>Disney
YES. Do I have to remind you?

>Rumplestiltskin would be a tough sell given there's no romance and Disney would be uneasy about the villain.
The real villain of the movie is the entire cast. Every single fucking character in that story is an unlikable piece of shit. It's basically the Family Guy of Fairy Tales everyone is an asshole. The female lead's father for spreading lies about his daughter making gold, the stupid retarded Peter Griffin King who believes the ridiculous lie and if it isn't true he will have the girl killed. Then when the girl "proves" she can make gold the King's Lois Griffin cunt queen wife demands that the girl do it again and more of it. Then the girl proves yet again she can make gold and the son of the king is her prize should she prove she can make gold one more time and this time the girl herself is the cunt for accepting to give up her child to a demon essentially.
Rumplestiskin himself is actually the only "good" character in that he doesn't pretend to be noble or good. He makes a deal and that's it for better or worse. Every other character likes to pretend to be noble and good, but they're horrible people, even the girl who thought she could argue against the deal she made with Rumplestiskin.
Like I said, it's Family Guy Fairy Tales style. Everyone is a piece of shit son and daughter of a bitch of asshole essence.
They’ve only done Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and The Three Little Pigs in shorts form. I think I’d rather them not do The Three Little Pigs since I kinda feel like they wouldn’t do a great job, but those other two seem like ibvious choices. If they wanted to get a little multicultural for extra diversity points they could even try doing the Hansel and Gretel story set in China since that culture has a very strongly similar folktale.
They could try The Princess and the Pea and have the princess be a bitch for once.
Disney can’t just refuse to do classic fairy tale adaptations just because other studios have touched on them first. They never would’ve done The Little Mermaid if that were the case.
We’ll always have the Soviet version at least.
>Nutcracker
I love Tchaikovsky's music and all, but honestly The Nutcracker really isn't such a good story and works a lot better just left alone as a ballet taken from the Dumas version, generally. I really wish somebody would adapt one of ETA Hoffmann's other, better works like The Sandman or The Golden Pot.
And this "Four Realms" shit in the title there reeks of generic Young Adult fantasy action movie shit, so that doesn't make it sound any more promising.
I do suppose Disney still deserves a crack at adapting it more than anybody else after they saved the ballet from obscurity. I might even check it out if it seems like they put the music to good use.
The story is more line with a traditional greek myth. In that the powerful "god" helps people and keeps his word and is not evil. Yet people paint the god as evil, rather the parties involved.
A more interesting take would be, Rumpelstilskin comes for the first born child and the king refuses, but the mother approves. Make the king evil, the mother a victim and this is your opener. Its about a child raised in the imp/fairy world and returning home, not about a girl who makes a deal with an imp.
it wasnt about a shota, i dont care
I really wanted them to advertise it with the Pixies song.
I buy this because the Songwriters, the Lopez couples, were suppose to work on Gigantic. They also were working on Frozen 2 AND the Frozen broadway
Well If Disney can adapt Hunchback where pretty much everyone is an asshole in the book, then i'm sure, They could easily make Rumplestiltskin work too.
Agree. Granted I like Frozen for it's characters, but the story was really choppy. I believe they mention they "couldn't" make snow queen due to "episodic" nature of original story to make it work as a movie. Personally, I find that to be a BS reason as Fucking Pinocchio made it works as a movie and has an episodic narrative. And that's one of best all time Disney animated classic.
the real reason was really purely "How can we make and shove a Princess (tm) in a story unrelated to needing for MARKETING POTENTIAL"
It's kind of refreshing that I won't have to feel compelled to give them my money for a few years. Since I'm poor and have to pick and choose which movies I can afford to see in theaters, I'm happy I can prioritize smaller studios for a bit instead of defaulting to Disney as much.
They even successfully kept all the characters as assholes and still made a good half sized movie with Ichabod Crane.
>Pinocchio made it works as a movie and has an episodic narrative
Same for Alice in Wonderland.
Good point on both of those.
Although to be fair about Alice, as much as I love Alice in Wonderland (one of my top 10), that one was a little all over the place but thematically did work in that context given nature of Wonderland. But I do know Walt was not happy about the results of that movie.
This.The Snow Queen was shelved and unshelved and shelved again loads of times before finally shaping into Frozen. If Disney feels it's not ready, it's probably not working yet. It's very possible they'll take it back to development at some point.
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to the new Frozen short.
>they made sure there weren't any 'hot' naked animals
u wot m8
You're the Nth person in this thread to say this, but everyone's forgetting one crucial fact: Disney didn't publicly announce that the Snow Queen project had been cancelled. Shelving something temporarily internally is different from actually putting out a statement to effect of "this wasn't working for us and we had to cancel it".
