Can we get a Darkwing Duck movie?

can we just get Ducktales back, 100x better than the crap that they play now these days.

Yeah, the late 80s, early 90s Disney animated cartoons were good quality. What is disney's animation dept even making nowadays?

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

I'd think that Disney's animation department is doing the same thing as Cartoon Network's - looking for jobs.

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

Let's not forget what Warner Brothers was churning out.

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.

FTA: With Disney refurbishing Tron, The Black Hole, and Flight of the Navigator,

What!

Duck Tales! WoooOOO!

Fano: INeedAName: Can we get a Darkwing Duck movie?

It's too dangerous

Well then, let's get dangerous.

I'd be on board for remakes of The Black Cauldron, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and maybe Darkwing Duck. Disney never did have the balls to do anything really scary, and it shows in those three especially. The rest of the article/comments were pretty stupid.

Something Wicked This Way Comes was a Disney movie? Damn, that scared the crap out of me when I was young. Good job Disney!

Why oh WHY did I watch the "Something Wicked" trailer? Now I'm going to have to call the shrink again.

Another creepy Disney, Watcher in the Woods.

/Quiet creepy, for the win.

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"

But it was never called Alien (not that I remember) but having the alien breathing down your neck, feeling the warm "drool" dripping on you and hearing the "person next you" get devoured created a pretty neat atmosphere. Apparently not long after it was open they toned it down... and then toned it down again. Then again. Till finally it was but a shadow of its scary self and they redid the whole thing.

bionicjoe: 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.

Look, I'm a graphic designer and stickler for similar things but I use sans in place of "without" from time to time. Just let it go man.

Italicizing it I can see as a douchy thing, but just using the word irks you that much?

Confabulat: 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.

Definitely wholly Disney's fault. The original option was supposed to go Paramount and that the director Jack Clayton couldn't buck his career to the then giant Disney films.

All hope is not lost though, Black Hole is in the docket for a remake so expect this one to come up again, its just a shame Miramax is all but dead since that was their 'adult' port for Disney.

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.

Hoboclown: FTA: With Disney refurbishing Tron, The Black Hole, and Flight of the Navigator,

What!

Loved that film as a kid. No need for a remake - really, what is there to improve upon? Stupid Hollywood.

Yeah, the best part is when they spray you with cold water and your mind thinks it's blood. Way scary for Disney, probably should have gone in MGM and not Magic Kingdom.

Was Gargoyles a Disney product? I'd watch a live-action/CGI PG-13 Gargoyles movie.

KatjaMouse: 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.

that was probably me. My parents (and the employees) conned me into going into that thing when I was little, and it scared the shiat outta 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.

Tastes Like Chicken: Was Gargoyles a Disney product? I'd watch a live-action/CGI PG-13 Gargoyles movie.

Yes. Yes it was. I believe it was their response to Batman in trying to target a more mature demographic in the after school crowd. I remember watching that, Batman and X-men back then and I think they did a lot in forming my aesthetic as an illustrator and character designer.

t3knomanser: 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.

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. X-Men also looks kinda dated. Tick and Batman TAS still hold up though, as do all of Disney's TV efforts.

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.

But the show's development did a lot for cartoons then, especially in the "action" genre. Not to mention the show's voice direction was one of the first examples of an action cartoon casting real actors for voice talent and taking more nuanced approaches in story lines.

Well, they didn't really have a choice - they took what the action-figure designers gave them (including the pitiful names). That said, my favourite episode always remains the ep where Rhinox gets converted into a Predacon. I don't know what they were doing differently - I think they were experimenting with the action and cameras, and came out with some Bourne-esque shakeycam stuff. Either way, it was surprisingly effective and was a friggin' awesome episode.

Blackbeard's Ghost could be a fun remake if done right... they've really raped up remakes in the past few years though. Robin Williams Flubber and Tim Allen's Shaggy Dog? horrid.

Batman though leads in that regard. Responsible for resetting the entire tone of Batman in both movies and comics and path the way for the more serious takes on superheroes in all media.

It also put voice acting as a more serious role than had previously been thought.

OMFG the ExtraTERRORestrial ride scared the hell out of me as a kid. My older brother decided it would be cool to drag his keys across the back of my neck when it was pitch black and the "winged thing" was supposedly flying around. You are locked in your seat. Had that not been the case I would have looked like Richard Pryor in the Toy running across the water from the piranhas out the exit.

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.
