Saw the preview for the new Tron at the beginning of Alice in Wonderland the other day. I really wanna see it. Like now.

Duck Tales was good, but the old Carl Barks' Scrooge McDuck comics sure as hell could use a great big-screen adaptation.

/no Webigail though please

KatjaMouse: Rapmaster2000: 4.) ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter

I saw this when I was baked. It was pretty cool. Extremely scary for Disney.

I saw it when it first opened and thought it was a terrific attraction. It was genuinely scary and the whole time there was a creepy Alien vibe. It was made only more delicious by the sobbing little girl sitting near me after her parents were insisting to the park workers that she was old enough for this attraction.

I think they shut it don and retooled it to be a Stitch prison break thing. I like Lilo & Stitch but that sounded really lame.

I never saw the original (I think they had issues with the Alien brand name or something) but I did see the Lilo & Stitch version.

That's when I learned the meaning of the word "meh"

They already did a remake of Fantasia called Fantasia 2000.

Apart from the flamingo scene, the whole thing was about as entertaining as Blue Brothers 2000.

phyrkrakr: Something Wicked This Way Comes

This movie could have been the scariest damn flick ever if Disney had the balls. Still was pretty creepy in a PG way.

I always loved the way that Scrooge McDuck's vault looked. A tall building with a huge dollar sign on it, dwarfing every other building in the city.

FTFA:
Condorman would be a $300 million endeavor sans CGI.

Anyone that uses the word sans for without while talking about anything other than a font should be shot into the sun.

Seeing that this guy actually emphasized his 'sans' with italics means he gets prepped with a belt sander and alcohol before his solar shot.

Gargoyles, please.




Best TV show they ever made, but just about any Disney Afternoon property would work. The high concept of TaleSpin alone would make a great movie: bush pilots, courier service, air pirates, tropical bars, water planes, mid-air service stations. It's practically 30s-era steampunk.

KatjaMouse: /Not everything needs to be for kids there
//and I'm aware of Pleasure Island

I think they closed that awhile back...Stromboli is out of mules.

phyrkrakr: Disney never did have the balls to do anything really scary

I don't know... Hannah Montana scares the shiat out of me.

Tastes Like Chicken: Was Gargoyles a Disney product?

Yes, which is why they were occasional forced to do "lesson" stories- Broadway's "Don't play with guns" episode and Hudson's "Reading is important" episode are the two that leap to mind.

Unlike most shows, however, when they tackled such cliche concepts, they actually produced pretty good episodes. The reading one actually won a few awards.

The 90s were great, and I like to think that this isn't just rosy memories. Gargoyles, The Tick, Beast Wars- these are classics I still find myself wanting to watch.

KatjaMouse: believe it was their response to Batman

How could I leave Batman out of my fond 90s cartoon memories? That was fantastic.

The X-Men show doesn't hold up as well. But the theme song is still burned into my brain.

This: Beast Wars hasn't aged well because all of Mainframe's earlier efforts look pretty bad these days - the tech wasn't really up-to-snuff.

As the show progressed, they found a style and worked it- the early episodes look crap, but by the second season, it looks good (in part because they emphasized more metallic character designs which were easier to render. It still holds up story-telling-wise, though.

GameSprocket: Lumpmoose: The high concept of TaleSpin alone would make a great movie: bush pilots, courier service, air pirates, tropical bars, water planes, mid-air service stations. It's practically 30s-era steampunk.

It was a furry version of Tales of the Golden Monkey.

[checks Wikipedia page] Wow, that is similar. Disney probably wouldn't touch it anyway since Rocketeer bombed.

IdBeCrazyIf: Batman though leads in that regard.

Mask of the Phantasm is still one of the better Batman films.

The real beauty of the animated Batman is that they paid a great deal of attention to the villains. And Mark Hamill just stole the show, every time.
