Yeah, I think it's going for stylized a la Spider-Verse, but someone up top isn't willing to let go of their precious Tangled artstyle. I'm kinda sick of these character designs. They all look the exact same as stuff we've seen before.
They're also not doing enough to exaggerate the animation. It's standard CG movement that strictly adheres to physics without any of the smears, held frames, or other tricks of a Spider-Verse or Last Wish.Yeah, the character models are what's bugging me about the animation. The watercolor style looks great on the backgrounds and scenery, but it feels like they're forcing a square peg into a round hole by using the same character models they've had for quite some time. Not only that, but it also feels like those models aren't leaning into the style as much as everything else. If you're going to play with the style of the animation, everything has to go all in. The Spider-Verse films, The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are all good examples of that.
That said, out of the Disney/Pixar animated films coming out this year, I'm still intrigued by this one unlike Elemental which just isn't grabbing me at all.
All in all, cautiously optimistic on this one.
I do think a big statement and then Disney’s media department doing a big PR play about it to make sure the GP knows would help.With this being yet another underperformer from Disney, it’s obvious that the only lever Iger has left to pull is the nuclear option: all theatrical movies will not be available on Disney+ until a year after their premiere.
People would be upset about it to be sure, but the current situation is clearly not sustainable.
The name of the film was a huge mess up. Especially naming it and promoting it the EXACT same thing as their newest cruise ship.The marketing for this movie was terrible.
I have acquaintances with Disneyland APs who didn’t even know this movie was coming out Thanksgiving let alone its existence. Didn’t help that it shares names with the cruise ship creating brand confusion (earlier in the year, the ship would often be top result in internet searches for “Disney Wish”). They tried to generate excitement by debuting a song a week leading up to film’s release but the songs are kind of awful.
Still, as an animation fan, I’ll be seeing this on an upcoming Discount Tuesday.
I mean....that's the charm of most villiansthe art style looked kind of weird in the trailers and the characters seemed kind of annoying. I haven't watch this but it seemed kind of confusing. the art style kept me away from watching it to be honest. bad guy seemed kind of cliche
I haven't watch it, but this guy didn't seem cool but just kind of annoying in the trailer ( and maybe that's the point) he just didn't feel cool and threatening like Jafar or scar. those are so memorable, everyone will know who you are talking about 30 years later. immediately anyone with knowledge of Disney will know.I mean....that's the charm of most villians
As if Jafar or Scar are deep characters
They just look cool and are bad. But Jarfar just wants power same with Scar....neither are that complicated

I might check this movie later but the first time I saw the poster of this villain in the mall, I thought he was the dad of the girl and a good guy lol
