Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2023 Edition

[starlite_]

I mean I don’t think being in the target audience determines whether I like a movie or not and I certainly like things that weren’t targeted towards me. I don’t personally enjoy this one but that doesn’t mean I think no one outside of the target audience could. For me it was just a little too high energy, dramatic teenager which at this point in time is less entertaining to me than it has been at other times. Doesn’t mean I think no one who isn’t a high energy dramatic teen will like it, just happens to be why I didn’t. So less a case where I think everyone outside the target will dislike it but that some people outside the target may not connect with it. Everyone is different.

I think the point was that it's reasonable to expect that folks who aren't the target audience might not connect with something. Not that ppl outside that audience can't like it. Otherwise there would be no DIS considering none of us adults are the target for Disney movies hahaa

Whoa whoa whoa. Gonna need to (very respectfully) stop you right there
Walt wanted animation to be recognized for the art form that it is. He said repeatedly that animated movies are not kid movies. Just like with Disneyland, they're for all ages to enjoy. Everyone is the target demographic in some way.

Well, when you put it that way who am I to argue with Walt?

Ok, is it just me or is it very sad that they didn't include Bruno at all in their family tree?? I know they were not talking about him but did they have to erase him from existence??

I 100% forgot this was still happening so seeing an update for it surprised me. Also surprising and a little weird that they're referencing a ride that closed permanently in the US and they want to erase mentions of.

 

[PolyRob]

Ok, is it just me or is it very sad that they didn't include Bruno at all in their family tree?? I know they were not talking about him but did they have to erase him from existence??

That’s what I said too! Poor Bruno!

That's the first thing that I noticed too...

IDK if the tree is continuity from a point in the story, laziness, or if the area is just incomplete. Bruno is portrayed as a child.

If you zoom in it looks like the frames filled are pepa, Bruno, and julieta as children getting their doors

 

[FrannyFrogs]

Maybe it's a conversation starter for character interaction. "Where's Bruno?" Cue the song!

 

[sherlockmiles]

"Your Mission Space video has arrived!"
Got this video postcard email yesterday - from my May 1st trip!
Mail delivery from space is only barely worse that that on earth.
(it was a nice, fun surprise though)

Sort of like "Andy's coming!"

He is still there in the one in the movie.

Bruno has a banner that is on display in the area…

This is even worse! He was there and was removed

I know there is a similar image in the concept art book and I wonder if they simply replicated that and didn't notice he was missing cause Dolores is super concept arty in the poster and the cousins are in dif order.
