Directors John Musker and Ron Clements

Moana is also music-heavy

I need it.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Out of everything here Moana is the most exciting thing for me.

Tangled is much better than Frozen.

Both of these statements are true.

 

[ratcliffja]

"Let it Go" > Everything from Tangled >> Everything from Frozen except "Fixer Upper" >> "Fixer Upper"

Do You Wanna Build A Snowman and For The First Time In Forever are both better than Let It Go.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I need it.

Me too. Let's need it together.

 

[ratcliffja]

Any word on if hand drawn animation is coming back?

Spoiler

Why do I even ask?

I wish. The Princess and the Frog is SO GOOD. (granted it was still 2D CG, but it was so great)

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Do You Wanna Build A Snowman and For The First Time In Forever are both better than Let It Go.

That Disneyland radio ad killed For the First Time Forever for me.

Do You Wanna Build a Snowman is really good, though.

 

[Nudull]

Give us a clip of Dwayne Johnson singing. I need to hear it to believe it.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

There's a team of people consulting from the South Pacific to keep the film as grounded in the culture as possible

The musical team for this one one includes Opetaia Foa'i, Mark Mancina and Lin-Manuel Miranda

Noice!

 

[Toothless]

Moana has a musical team of Opetaia Foa'i, Mark Mancina and Lin-Manuel Miranda. That gets me much excited than Gigantic (altough Gigantic sounds good.)

 

[Hamlet]

Hype slightly deflated.

Excited to see what they do.

The Frozen songs were significantly better than those in Tangled. Then again, I might be biased because Tangled was such a huge disappointment.

Please Tangled is hardly a disappointment.

 

[a916]

The gazelle that Shakira is voicing:

Looks like her hips don't lie.

She sounds like a goat when singing so this is almost fitting

 

[Toothless]

YES I SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOOKING

 

[ratcliffja]

Excited to see what they do.


Please Tangled is hardly a disappointment.

It was a huge disappointment for me and almost single-handedly killed my wife's love for Disney. Considering she's a life-long Disney fan, that's not an easy feat.

 

[Nudull]

Please Tangled is hardly a disappointment.

I'm pretty worn out on Tangled, to be honest.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!

Voicing Maui, is the next surprise guest...

He can create islands by using his hook to pull them out of the sea

He can change shape and carries a magical giant fish hook

He's covered in tattoos and they're actually animated themselves in the film

Maui is a legendary demi-gold and also one of the characters

Tui is Moana's father and he's the Chief
via·about a minute ago

MOANA explains why that happened

In actual history, the people of the South Pacific were known for their incredible ability to navigate. 3,000 years ago, however, the navigators stopped before resuming 1,000 years later

(Yeah, you have to read it bottom-to-top)

...how?

How can a single film ruin a company's vast and varied back catalogue of media for anyone?

You ever seen Hunchback of Notre Dame 2?

 

[MrV4ltor]

That's even sillier than the people who claim that a new entry in a franchise will ruin the old movies for them.

 

[Hamlet]

Awesome news with Dwayne Johnson.

It was a huge disappointment for me and almost single-handedly killed my wife's love for Disney. Considering she's a life-long Disney fan, that's not an easy feat.

Curious to hear what she didn't like about it to cause such a reaction?

I'm pretty worn out on Tangled, to be honest.

I can understand that reaction but it's still a pretty impressive how well the film turned out considering it's long troubled production.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Soon she loses her grandmother, who meant everything to her

"I'm sorry," says Musker, "But this is a Disney movie"

 

[Exploratory]

Through the Looking Glass is my favorite.

 

[TEJ]

You ever seen Hunchback of Notre Dame 2?

The dtv sequels are almost all terrible excluding the two aladdin ones and tlk2 (which wasn't great but it had a few decent songs)

So we might be getting the first official theatrical trailer for Force Awakens?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

They're showing footage of the volcano creature, an immense woman made out of lava

Good god this movie was ass.

 

[MrV4ltor]

So we might be getting the first official theatrical trailer for Force Awakens?

That would be tomorrow during the live-action event.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So we might be getting the first official theatrical trailer for Force Awakens?

JJ said no new footage

pray for a poster at best

 

[jett]

wat

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

wat

Spoiler

The picture isn't from Moana, it's from Pixar's latest short.

 

[MrV4ltor]

This sounds cute:

They're showing another test scene with Moana and her best friend, the ocean itself

The Pacific Ocean is a character in itself, and can convey emotion (like Aladdin's magic carpet). It's Moana's best friend.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Well, this film is definitely gonna be a looker.

 

[yencid]

Moana sounds amazing.

 

[Nudull]

Who the hell sat down and decided that Cinderella needed two sequels?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Who the hell sat down and decided that Cinderella needed two sequels?

By most accounts, the second sequel was the better one.

I don't know if it was actually good, though.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Some more stuff about the ocean as a character:

As a child, Moana meets the ocean on a beach. It's not personified in any way, but the water shifts to greet the young girl, building a dry path that she walks along, watching creatures within the sea around her

The scene ends with Moana as an adult, standing against the sunset and clutching a shell that the ocean gave her

Sound great already.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

South Pacific band on stage with Johnson. Also Johnson was crying and is very moved by the love put into the film.

 

[TEJ]

By most accounts, the second sequel was the better one.

I hear it involved time travel lol.

I can understand that reaction but it's still a pretty impressive how well the film turned out considering it's long troubled production.

I should have her post at some point, but for starters, she hated the attempts at humor that felt like something out of Shrek rather than classic Disney humor. She REALLY hated the prince and the horse. She liked Rapunzel when she wasn't hitting people with a frying pan and she liked a couple of the songs, but that's about it.

 

[GentlemanCrow]

"And they lived happily ever after." *

 

[Nudull]

I hear it involved time travel lol.

The third one did.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I hear it involved time travel lol.

At least that one didn't turn Jacques into a human.

Shit, why am I talking about Cinderella so much, I haven't seen any of those movies since elementary school.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I want to cry reading that Moana description.

 

[Pachimari]

Where are you guys following the conference? Twitter?

Makes you wonder who had the shittier "trilogy"; Cinderella or Mulan?

EDIT: Oh hey, time for Pixar.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Pixar!

...

There was a Mulan 3?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

There was a third Mulan?

 

[MrV4ltor]

I'm pissed that we didn't get any art for Moana

 

[Dai101]

Gigantic has a giantess princess.

Here comes the Rule 34. :/

EDIT: She's eleven, crisis averted.

AnimeGAF is interested now.
