Disney. :gruffi:

[Flying Mullet]

:frust:

[Tavrobel]

Disney, you money grubbing screwballs. They've been taking a page from Square Enix, haven't they?

Ohh, wait.

[rubah]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

[scrumpleberry]

Why?

Why?

[charliepanayi]

Aren't they doing this with a few films, I know Toy Story is out in 3-D in the autumn.

[Depression Moon]

This is unnecessary. The first film was good enough. They don't need to remake the film especially in CG unless they're improving the story times seven so that it could truly put a tear in my eyes.
Edit: Oh and Toy Story's always been in 3-D.

I watched Beauty and the Beast this afternoon, and it still makes me cry. =O

[LunarWeaver]

Aren't they just reworking it so you can put on goofy 3-D glasses and have the screen jump out at you? What's the big deal. Sounds fun to me. Though personally I am more excited for the 3-D Jonas Brothers concert. OH MY :bigsmile:

Oh my aching sides!

I quote from Wikipedia: "Toy Story is set for re-release in Disney Digital 3-D on October 2, 2009"

Ugh... WHY?!?!
The first one was good enough, now they're going to ruin it. >_>

[Spiffing Cheese]

A part of me just died inside. :(

[arcanedude34]

I... don't get the big deal. Just... don't watch it, nobody's making you. In a free enterprise system, people can make money any (legal) way they want. Disney WILL make money off of this, so it's no fault on their part that people don't agree with their choices. Hell, I'd feel no remorse moneygrubbing if I was associated in anyway with the already-soulless corporation that is Disney.

[Wolf Kanno]

No...just no... :mad:

[charliepanayi]

I'm not sure what all the outrage is here - they're not remaking the film as such, it's the same bloody film, just done in 3-D. You can argue that such an exercise is redundant and just there to rake in some cash, and you might be right, but this is the film industry and such things are nothing new I'm afraid.

I quote from common knowledge Toy Story is a computer animated feature which makes it in 3-D unlike it's predecessors Lion King and Mulan that are simply just drawn and are 2-D.

[Shlup]

I... what?

[Jessweeee♪]

Huh...?


I'm not too happy about the Alice in Wonderland remake mentioned...if it were live action instead of 3-D animation it could be a total masterpiece if done right, though. I do think Johnny Depp could make a decent Mad Hatter :p

[rubah]

someone already did a live action alice in wonderland, my dear jessweeee

[Depression Moon]

It's not live action? Then it's not going to be dark and gothly twisted?

It's by Tim Burton, of COURSE it will be.

[Frequency NecroKat]

XD;;; Do they mean the glasses kind of 3-D or CG kinda 3-D?

Either way, that's just another branch on the tree of dignity and credibility that Disney's doing an agonizing nutcracker on as it falls lower and lower.

Edit: *brick'd, because she's eagerly waiting for TR2N* Er... that's different. XD;

[Laddy]

Do they realize they are fucking up one of the best films of all time?

What's next? Silence of the Lambs The Rock Opera?

[LunarWeaver]

They mean glasses kind of 3-D. You know, make the illusion certain parts come out at you. They are not remaking this entire film into a computer animated movie like what Pixar makes.

I don't see how they're ruining it. I just don't get the big deal.

[Meat Puppet]

This story being transmogrified from a primitive flick into material more palpable for the new and improved generation is
excellent news

note to self: buy bolt on DVD and the themed-pajamas of whatever preteen musical sensation is being pumped at the moment

I don't think it's ruining it, it just seems a little... unclassy. Beauty and the Beast is kind of a fairytale romance. Not an in-your-face action or quirky horror movie or anything like that. 3-D seems to not fit well with the original feel of it. I dunno, I'm just picky about what I 3-D-ify.

[blackmage_nuke]

We havent even seen images yet and people seem to think it'll look like some kind of 3d weekday morning cartoon ie polygons which are in denial. They might actually make it look absolutely spectacular with stunning detail.....might.

[arcanedude34]

The wolf scene is going to scare some small childrens, lemme just be the first to say. As well as the machine. And the mob scenes. And, you know, one half the titular duo. This is gonna be one scary movie. XD

This thread is so full of prejudice, it makes me sick.

[Marshall Banana]

Meh.

[Madame Adequate]

Doubly true given that it's fairly common practise for Disney to release certain movies repeatedly anyway.

[black orb]

>>> I hope those are directed by Tetsuya Nomura..

[Depression Moon]

This thread is so full of prejudice, it makes me sick.
Prejudice against what? Oh and I thought you meant CG 3-D. I'm glad that's settled I still say it's kind of unnecessary especially since Beaty and The Beast is a romance.

[Marshall Banana]

Instead of putting out a worthless 3D remake, though, I want Disney to make the classics more available. A few years ago I paid about fifty dollars for my Platinum Edition DVD of Beauty and the Beast (the menu of which features a really ugly 3D recreation of Belle's town, by the way), and I don't know whether there are other editions of Beauty and the Beast (there's a recent one, I think), but I do know that I couldn't just go to a store and find it (because it's in the Disney Vault).

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the same; it was released only once on DVD in 2001 or 2002 (I'm not sure), so it was hard for me to find online for less than fifty dollars (that's why I never purchased it). It will finally be released again this year, I think.

The Little Mermaid will be in the Vault soon, so, probably, I won't see The Little Mermaid on store shelves for another seven years or so.

Plus, a 3D remake is a stupid idea (just like Disney's fairies). :kaolaugh:

[Del Murder]

Disney sure knows how to make money, I'll give them that.

What, it's obvious. "Omg CG can't work in a movie like this!1"

No way of knowing until you've seen it. Not that it seems to be happening with this movie though, but that's besides the point.

I agree that the Disney policy of only having some DVDs out for a certain time before essentially deleting them and making them bloody hard to find is infuriating. I never got Beauty and the Beast when it was released on DVD and now can't get hold of it so easily. I did hear though that they may be re-releasing it on DVD when the 3D-version is out.

I don't think anybody was saying that it wouldn't work, it's just unnecessary.

[blackmage_nuke]

I'm still surprised that a kids movie from the early 90's where the character LeFou (Gaston's short assistant guy) who is so clearly homosexual was received with so little resistance in the first place.

[Miriel]

This is the worst thing I've ever heard.
