Disney's 'Frozen' crosses $1-billion mark with Japan still to go - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Detlef;44114403]oh my god yes it's fucking impossible to find communities online that shares your interest but isn't a total fanatic about it. Shipping??? fuck off I don't care. Creepy fanart, creepy fanfictions like do any of these people actually like the show/movie? Or do they just like to alter the content to fit their own weird taste.[/QUOTE] You mean you didn't enjoy all those homoerotic ZombieWaffe stories I wrote for you? woW.

no those I enjoyed...

The fan base is half of what drove me off of Homestuck (that and I didn't like the direction he was taking the story). That's why I preferred Problem Sleuth, no bullshit shipping there!

[QUOTE=Novangel;44112748]Spirited away did win an Academy award though.[/QUOTE] That's true, it didn't happen to the Satoshi Kon films (one of them which heavily inspired Inception) or Tekkonkinkreet though.

It's a story about how any dream no matter how beautiful can lead to ugliness, and how that dream can stay alive even as the dreamer realizes that it's doomed. It's one of the most mature and masterfully told stories in animation history and serves as the perfect capstone to the movie career of one of the greatest animation story tellers of all time. but it doesnt have disney magic or princesses and its from jap land so fuck it weird asian shit amirite oscar goes to shrek© 4 a tale of two donkies

Jeez a lot of you are really anal about princesses and love stories.

Seriously this is sad

[QUOTE=Goberfish;44112110]Brave is a bad film? Huh?[/QUOTE] Its bad because it has its plot driven in the totally wrong direction.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;44116131]Jeez a lot of you are really anal about princesses and love stories.[/QUOTE] No story is inherently bad. What is bad is when practically an entire genre is subjugated by a conglomerate and forced to churn out variants of that story to keep up it's image and all other work by smaller studios is marginalized so that that conglomerate can keep it's cultural market share. Princesses and love and magic and whatever are fine when they're integrated well into a good story, and don't get me wrong, Frozen is a good story. But there shouldn't be this insane prejudice against everything that isn't that both in the academy and in the US in general.

There is a very narrow band of tones and story material that the academy is willing to accept. Spirited Away just so happened to fall within that band. That would be why it's the posterchild for Disney's representation of Ghibli and is the movie that's always referenced when they talk about Ghibli, even though it's hardly representational of the majority of their work. I'm glad it won, but remember that the big Disney contenders they had to beat were Treasure Planet and Lilo & Stitch. You can bet that if it there was some sort of time warp and it was put up against Toy Story 3 or Frozen it would have lost handily.

And I don't think that the recognition of Miyazaki alone disproves that.

I mean, goddamn, how can you not like Treasure Planet?[/QUOTE] Well, I could come up with some reasons if I wanted to. I think the main point is that there weren't any real magic princess wonder movies that year, it was all kind of even with things that academy didn't like all that much. It was a more even playing field, if you will. Which was great, really. If Disney still had a 2D studio I'd love for them to do more stuff like that.
