Ok, I think it's prime time for this post. So, I've been tired of the live action remakes as much as everyone else, no need to reiterate, they started interesting but tumbled into what seems like a daily occurrence. But there's something that I must point out.

Back in the 90s they had movies that weren't animated but the animals talked, done with real animals and people dubbed over them. There's wasn't CGI to move their mouths so it was awkward. Now and days, we have the technology but it's not satisfying when a studio like Disney has an iconic design that everyone knows and they reinvent it to fit real life rather than trying to translate it.

Take Lion King-

Big difference, eh?

Little Mermaid?

And it's only becoming progressively worse and it shows because in the 90s, they marketed the crap out of the toys but now, there's no difference between these lion toys and any others. You can barely even tell them apart, which ones are the Lion King ones?

They can't do that now, do you see any Flounder merch anymore? Sebastian? Scuttle?

I may not care about the movie but at least Pinocchio attempted something.

They didn't market those toys either, despite being closer to the...(well not "source material" but you know what I mean). But they also withheld the trailer until it was practically released already, they knew it was bad.

But I've also seen mentioned that Disney knows this and purposely hides designs until its too late to change them to avoid another Sonic the Hedgehog situation aka inflating the budget/spending more money, just pump and dump as the crypto space would say. I'd rather go back to the 90s with Homeward Bound style. They at least provided entertainment value and didn't have a cartoon counterpart to compare to.

It's called "brand recognition", Bob Iger, let me in and run your business for you, PLEASE. It'll at least be better for kids than this-

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

#now granted he did die of a drug overdose but you know. one can take the good lessons #anyway. point being i understand being deeply frustrated with the state of the tv and film.#but also we can admit that for every gem canceled there's like three real duds too #idk if you want something that's guaranteed to have a bunch of seasons and you know the ending for go watch shows from the 70s #the number of adults on this site who lack the emotional wherewithal to watch an ongoing narrative is. yikes.#queue

My 11-year-old couldn't decide what flavor of ramen to make, so I told her to flip a coin. Heads for spicy chicken, tails for beef.

Taking my advice, she flipped a penny, and when it landed on tails she said "Wait! Wait! I did it wrong!"

I told her that she did it right, because the real reason for flipping a coin isn't to let fate decide for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you will suddenly realize what you wanted in the first place.

I'm sure there's a life lesson there somewhere…

But honestly, I have never known her to pass up spicy chicken.

this new reblog chart feature is FASCINATING and it is also highlighting how much people on this website fail gifmakers and other content creators. you NEED to start reblogging gifsets and art if you want this site to continue functioning and being a place content creators WANT to be on. look at this

there are almost NO reblog chains!! the majority of reblogs are directly from me, and then it just. ends. the like to reblog ratio is almost 1:3.

this is why posts die. this is why artists have left, this is why gifmakers are giving up. this is killing tumblr.

reblogging is the ENTIRE POINT of this website, and you can't just like something and move on and expect gif/editmakers and artists to continue putting in the effort to make content FOR YOU.

REBLOG. POSTS.
