You are back in the 30s/40sWould you see their films in theaters?
nah
>>152220389>DAGNABBIT, THEY RACE SWAPPED SUPERMAN TO BE A TURTLE!!!
>>152220389I don't even go see films in theaters now. I think I'd be more into theater anyway.
JERKING OFF TO SAWYER
Imagine how insane race science in the universe of Cats Don't Dance would be.
>>152220941What kind of cat do you think Health Points Lovecraft would be ?
>>152220996Maybe this one
>>152220996hairless sphynx.
As a kid it always annoyed me how the end credits showed the characters in movies mostly from the 90's instead of the 40's and 50's. Seems like it was some weird contractual cross-promotion thing from WB.
>>152220724I like the alternative timeline where they fail to break the Hollywood system and Danny moves back to the Midwest to slowly work up a career in theater (Sawyer eventually locates and joins him)
>>152222068That would've been cute but also sort of a downer. A funnier ending would be for everything to be the same up until the point when the director and producer guys start acting buddy-buddy with the animals at the end of the film and offer them Hollywood starring roles. Instead of accepting, the animals refuse and tell them to get bent and then they all leave to go make movies in Kokomo which (in a credits montage) gradually becomes the new center of American filmmakling as Hollywood is left behind and driven to bankruptcy. Basically have the entire film be one long setup for that punchline.
>>152220724You don't go now because movies and snacks cost a car payment. Back in the 1930s you'd go in a quarter and leave with change
>>152221665It was because they were taking a risk assuming the audience would get what they were doing then, they needed to have some reference a kid would actually get.
>>152222231>they needed to have some reference a kid would actually get.But anon, I WAS a kid and I DIDN'T enjoy that aspect. I liked cool old detective movies not... Grumpier Old Men? Twister? Whatever. I liked the idea of the Beetlejuice one at least.
>>152222218>and snacksWasn't even common in the 30s and only took off in the late 40s. Tickets were relatively cheap but still cost almost an hours wage for the nicer theaters. I don't go to movies now because the theater experience isn't worth it or a barrier to accessibility when the Sony TV in my living room is better than a bad theater and 90% as good as a good one.
>>152222355Imagine if the producer and costume director really wanted to mess with her, so they added a diaper to her angel costume and put an "out of order" sign on the bathroom door every day before rehearsal
>>152222355anon, do not summon him.
>>152222599>too lateFuck.
>>152222355>>152222586Oh, and offered her plenty of water and soda from the catering table
>>152222355She was right and Danny is an a hole.
>>152222753>bipolar industry plant vs uppity egomaniacCats Don't Dance is a much more accurate portrayal of Hollywood than most people realized.
>>152220996This is the sort of question I think he would love answering himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually has said what sort of cat he’d be somewhere in one of his letters, journals, or essays.
Imagine Darla doing a lengthy interview while regretting the extra-large sparkling water she had about half an hour before it started
Why wouldn't that fricking cat dance tho?
>>152223585>Darla! Who taught you to speak like that?!>The producers, directors, my agent...>Okay, got it.
>>152220389I would be too busy trying to fuck them
>>152220389I would totally fuck them both up the ass
______ ____ ______
>>152220941>Howard Philips Lovecraft with his cat-wife, Zelda.
>>152224594She's a black cat to boot and voiced by Cake.
>>152220389I'd see it if Darla looked like this
>>152224710>18 year old Shirley Temple My heart
>>152224710>Me? No, I won't be drinking. I have an audition soon and booze tends to go right through me...
Imagine the cat pornos
Imagine playing Santa in this universe's version of Miracle on 34th Street when Darla sits on your lap during rehearsal and says>I really wish I didn't fill up on all those beans...
>>152226064Can you just make your own thread at this point?
>>152220389they look like nortubel characters
>>152226101Look like what?
>>152226565It's a game. Someone's been spamming that shit on /v/.
>>152226578>Someone's been spamming that shit on /v/.Explains why I haven't heard of it.
>>152225233Imagine Danny walking into the wrong talent agency.
>>152227084>Imagine Danny walking into the wrong talent agency.You mean the RIGHT agency.
Funny twist of luck how Lauren Faust was originally supposed to be a secondary animator for Danny (she was allegedly going to be in charge of animating his tail) before being assigned to be one of the lead animators for Sawyer.
Can't believe it took me this long to realize that the name "Dolly Dimpley" was probably an homage to "Darla Dimple"
>>152228825If it was, they'd probably look more similar
Still wish we had that original sawyer's voice singing.
>>152228866Like Marge Simpson?
>>152220389Most of these animals are still white coded as fuck. Kinda ruins the point.
>>152229104It was suppose to star Michael Jackson but he left. So they lost their only black guy.
>>152229104Scott Bakula is an honorary black woman.
>>152229140I love how his former project's main character then eventually turns into the whitest character imaginable Just like he did ayyyyyyy
>>152229184Ya know what, good for them!
>>152220389Fuck yeah I'd watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
>>152227084I had a fanfic scenario that was pretty much this
>>152229290If we assume the posters at the end are canon, would this mean Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello all exist in this universe?
I took the bait and started watching. What the hell is the message of this movie? Attention whores deserve attention?
>>152230710Watch Singing in the Rain first then try watching again without 4 other screens on.
>you're on a date with the divine Darla Dimple>she's much older than the child star she was so many years ago when you were just a lad>she also puts more food away than you thought she would, too...>while riding in her private limousine after your dinner out, she suddenly puts a hand on your leg>"Listen... tonight's been wonderful, and you seem like such a sweet, genuine guy. You don't see a lot of those in showbiz...">your heart races, wondering what she could possibly say or do next>"I want to show you a side of me I never show the cameras.

Yes! I've been watching a lot of 30s and 40s movies recently. Effects driven epics are still a bit of a blind spot for me but a musical about Noah's Ark would be a great jumping on point.
>>152227856For the better, she made that character
>>152229140>live action-3D animation mashup movie starring Michael Jackson and a troupe of animated cats that look like 30s/40s movie starsI love MJ but would this have been good at all? Serious question.
>>152232969Her animation is (at least) half of what makes this movie so enjoyable.
>>152232265>I've been watching a lot of 30s and 40s movies recently.Any recommendations? I just watched The Big Sleep the other day. Quite good.
>>152233802Sweethearts (1936)King Kong (1933)Wizard of Oz (1939)There is an app called Kanopy that let's you stream a lot of classic kino with your library card free with no ads!
>>152233802>>152234507If you're looking for movies that influenced Cats Dont Dance I'd recommend pic related and Sunset Boulevard (1950)
>>152220389I enjoy how their outfits in the last musical number have that matching color scheme, it's a cute "golden-age musical" detail
>>152224725Y'know nobody talks about the rest of Temple's careerShe did a couple movies as an adultThen she became the ambassador to Czechoslovakia and the GhanaAnd might have been the vice presidential candidate in 1976
>>152235656Hollywood has always served as a weird intersection to geopolitics.
>>152221036>Honk
>>152220996How do you know he would've be a cat?
Was Max human?I always thought he was human.
Danny, you weren't punished because you're a cat. You were punished because you tried to upstage the main star and ruined an expensive shot.
>>152238809I was content seeing him as a Frankensteinazoid.
>>152224710Loved that idea that came about of what a sequel could be like for this Darla:>Sequel set about 10 years later>This is going to be late 1940s or so, but around the point female stars are starting to get more serious recognition>Have Darla now climbing her way back into stardom faced with a few other former child actresses all hitting their prime and all in competition to become the biggest starlet in Hollywood>Darla's biggest flaw is she still has too much of her adorable childlike qualities in her appearance>She can't pull off the sexy seductive look some of the other young actresses can>Meanwhile the animals are facing a similar issue>They're still treated as the sappy light hearted type of stars>Just like Darla, they're still typecast in movies meant for kids>Darla wants to make a big serious movie to propel herself into more dramatic adult roles for herself>The animals need a serious movie to show they have real acting chops>This leads to an unlikely alliance where both need each other but hate one another's guts>Darla still has the fortune to bankroll one last blockbuster movie>The Animals have the only studio that will give her the chance to be a big leading actress in a role no one thinks she can handle>Naturally nether wants to do it>But Darla is sitting on one last script from a now dead, legendary screenwriter who had envisioned a big movie that needed animal actors>And the studio the animals are in control of just signed on their first human actor, a young man with the looks and acting skills the be a great leading man>They need each other too much not to make this movie together>But can they really put the past behind them to pull this off?
>>152223585Her braps must bebigandloud
>>152238809>Was Max human?Self-loathing gorilla who shaves himself because he wants to be human.
>>152239560Maybe he was a whale-human-gorilla hybrid. And the racism of the setting is why he is relegated to the servile class. Like how Thomas Jefferson enslaved his own child. That adds up. That's probably exactly what the writers and animators had in mind.
Since this is sort of a stealth /film/ thread: I just watched His Girl Friday for the first time and it really was as great as people say (to keep it /co/ related, you can totally tell how Hildy directly influenced Lois Lane over the decades) if you're looking for something to watch this weekend, I'd say it's a must-see.
Did more people start noticing CDD because it keeps getting rotated into the free movie selection on Youtube? It seems like it's got more attention over these last couple years
I like Danny. He's neat.
>>152235656I think a lot of people just assume that she died as a child or otherwise fell off the face of the Earth
>>152240531It got a blu-ray release 3 years ago.
>>152238824Sawyer will make sure to correct him
>>152240575So do I.
>>152220389Yes.
>>152241089Would you have a drink with him?
>>152238983As long as Danny and Sawyer still show up.
>>152239368Imagine an older version of Darla disrupting every rehearsal she's in by ripping giant braps
>>152220389Yes. If not i'd listen to them on the radio serials.
>>152222678Huh. I did not know any merch of her existed.
>>152240641>only special features are some random WB shorts how unfortunate
>>152241354before or after he gets famous? Hollywood parties seem highfalutin, but bar crawling in Kokomo might be chill
>>152241619I figure just a one on one thing or small outing, no big parties. So yeah probably before he gets famous.
Kokomo seems like such a specific place. Was it picked as a film reference? A Beach Boys reference? Or was it just chosen because it's sounds kind of funny (like Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga, etc)
>>152241539Nice piece. Who's the artist?
>>152242772I don't really know. Snagged it off here a year or so ago. I just did a reverse image and it shows "SaranSaran" as the artist.https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24483649/
>>152220389Wizard of OZ in technicolor was WILD
>>152222200I do not think it would be a downer ending if they learn some route might not be obtainable but others are when you improvise, and they are very successful working up to Chicago or Broadway levelThe Kokomo studio plot twist would be really funny
>>152243375Furaffinity... now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
>>152230526Their actors do at least
>>152246270... Corey Feldman?
>>152246735Why not?
>>152241563I believe those were commissions by a superfan. The only real Darla merch I ever saw was a very crude Subway toy and a T-shirt.
>>152247988>>152241563And it's 90s as hell.
Ah, that's explains why we never saw the shirt. It was was worn by Production crew only.
>>152241568It is a shame. Maybe they felt there wasn't enough behind the scenes material to work with. This is worth re-posting, it's a neat look at the studio in 1994: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqCr04TmEU
If I were a better artist, I'd draw Sawyer.
>>152248014I'm very jealous of anyone who still has one of the crew jackets.
>>152248033A commentary track with some of the animators and Mark Dindal or something at least would have been nice.
>>152248038You could draw Sawyer and use the experience to become a better artist.
The original 1997 Cats Don't Dance web site had some neat comments from the crew, I saved it before the mirror for it went down so here it is.
>>152248663Neat!
>>152248073yeah, they seem like they would have been down for participating in something like that in a heartbeat too. A sad blind spot for an otherwise great blu-ray. I truly hope that Warner Archive survives whoever ends up buying them...
>>152249901I wonder how a society with animals and humans function. How do people eat?
>>152241568It's not even the one short that was with the movie, but at least they are somewhat related on being Hollywood-centric shorts.>>152248033>>152248073I know that the only other movie that compares is The Iron Giant (90s movie that failed in the box office that became popular and has a big fanbase) and that Blu-Ray release is packed with the DVD features and other extras but then again that one had Brad Bird's direct involvement. >>152249901I Hope that too, they are the best home media label when it comes to restoration.
>>152250189>How do people eat?Very carefully.
>>152250189fish
>>152250189We saw Darla eat in the movie and it was food that could pass for vegetarian.
This giraffe is cute.
>>152250403
Imagine being Darla's limo driver and having to hear her complain that she needs to "go-o-o-o-o-o" while she holds a to-go soda cup that weighs at least half as much as her when full
>>152251199
>>152251199>>152251213Such cute little fellas.
If you could interview Danny after that big routine at the end of the movie, what would you ask him?
>>152252064Why are you so fuckable?
>>152252082I don't think he'd know how to answer that....
>>152252242Would Danny even know what sex is?
>>152252381This was before the internet, right? He might be a little ignorant of the specifics...
>>152241619What's his drink of choice?
>>152252064>what would you ask him?"Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?"
>>152220389>Cats don't danceAm I being led to believe that they don't dance but at the end of the movie they indeed do dance?
>>152253824once you recognize the secret reason for their dancing you will feel ashamed of your words and deeds
>>152220389I'm sorry, I can't focus on your hypothetical because I just want to fuck Sawyer so bad.
>>152250403She's going to get chunky beyond baby fat if she keeps eating like that
>>152256986Would you go to the theater and publicly fap to Sawyer's movies?
>>152240641And it's pretty gorgeous. Although, I'm curious how this movie would look with an HDR colour grade on a 4k BD.
I suppose it's no /co/ but I remember there was this one anime movie with a girl transforming into a cat. It was a such a rip-off the boy didn't get to fully transform in the third act. Instead, he only got crummy cat ears.
>>152252894Wine (if this counts as canon)
>>152258304Kek, what a classy guy.
>>152258304I love that Danny will slowly get corrupted by Hollywood sins while still being the goofiest optimist in existence
>>152259057he could have just been like that already. Not much more to do in Depression-era rural Indiana except drink (hell, there's not much more to do there today)
>>152220389Uh, kind of, yeah I would see their films.
Twink
>>152220996Welsh Domestic shorthair.
>>152260734Would you get his autograph?
>>152220996Black tabby
>>152261252Even if I did not have a crush absolutely, he IS a famous actor in the 40s after all
>>152223585Danny is tappin that
>>152220389No, I'd watch fascist films as they were ccoming out and chud out with my fellow moviegoers.
>>152260734How Twinkish
>>152262070was gonna call bullshit on this- because how would you watch Nazi films in the US?- but I looked it up and there *was* a bit of an industry in the 30's (until 1942) for importing German and Austrian films to the US, including theaters in New York that showed them exclusively. Guess that's kind of interesting but I'd much rather see those Italian historical dramas the fascists were bankrolling before the war.
>>152262780Look at that cat's stomach you could hold it in one hand>How gay can he beVery
>>152263920here's the full pic
>>152264487I love these two so much.
>>152265398yeah it's always nice to see a thread for their movie pop up.
Whaddya mean you think black cats are equal to white cats??
>animals and humans living side by side in HollywoodBojack Horseman is Cats Don't Dance the TV series set in the modern day. They share the same universe prove me wrong.
>>152267138The animals in Bojack have no tails. The ones in Cats Don't Dance do.
>>152267138well by this logic Looney Tunes would also be part of that.
>>152227856
Cat sex.
>>152269589Sat cex?
>>152269518She cute.
Post more Sawyer.
>>152220389I'd state the obvious, but I'd be banned for racism outside of /b/
>>152263023You think Danny became a bomber during the war?
>>152220389I would try to get an anthro girlfriend.
>>152274018Anon they'll witch hunt you for that!
>>152274213How is she going to make it Hollywood with a rack that small?
>>152274312Flat is justice
>>152248033>>152258304Being an animator in the 90s seems like it would've been a decent living. Difficult, sure, but honest. Wish this could have lasted.
>>152274417She's not flat. She has a modest A cup.
>>152271659
>>152274312Cmon, you have the only two cat actors in films that can monopolize that market.Who cares if she has small tits, every furry in that universe is going to be cumming shots over those two.
>>152274312>>152275885Danny doesn't have tits and it doesn't hold back his acting talent.
>>152275973He has a penis.
>>152275991>THAT'S what it's for?!
The fuck happened to my Darla post?It was a screenshot from the movie.
>>152276273I learned long ago to stop questioning why some things get deleted while more risque things- sometimes in the very same thread- stay up. It's just the way it is.
>>152276469Yeah, but it seems gay and random to target something straight from the source material. Apparently it's wrong to like this girl. :l
>>152276273Jannies are weird
>>152276469You think Sawyer ever had to do apartment wrestling for Hollywood producers to pay the bills and fight other actresses for roles?
>>152223585Nice ass
>>152240641Funny how the official summary from WB stresses that Gene Kelly is a human. We might not have known otherwise!
>>152276921>The bio directly calls Sawyer sexyMega based
>>152241568The Looney Tunes shorts included in the BD are kino tho
>>152269589Nice
>>152277000
>>152277056
Is it considered more awkward and difficult to dance with having tits or dance with having a cock?
>>152277925you can strap either one down. i would assume tits is worse because of mass but thighs would be way worse
>>152277925It's hard to say when you've only had one and not the other
Finally decided to give the movie a watch, it's actually pretty good. It felt like a movie that was made purely for fun and not much else, which is starting to feel a novelty these days. Ofc I'm in love with Sawyer now so thanks guys.
>>152276690>>152278711Would Sawyer be any good in a scrap? She and Danny were kind of tiny compared to humans in the film.
>>152220389Of course, fuck else is there to do?Die of dysentery?
>>152277941do they strap it down before going on stage?do they have the other strap it down for them
>>152280463>do they strap it down before going on stage?as opposed to what? coming out on stage naked?
Imagine if Darla was on the red carpet and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaoKuCUl8Aw&t=43
I'd watch the movie where the goat fucks all the women.
>>152280763Goatchad
>>152241698All of above
>>152277964shemales exist anon
>>152281463Shemales have moobs by definition
>>152281521>me writing my next Darla Dimple brap greentext
>>152278711Glad you enjoyed it anon, out of WB's animated movies of the 90s, it and Iron Giant are gems.
>>152278325I wish to do unholy things to both of them.
>>152280763>Plot: In the traditional and conservative Eastwick, the sculptress Alexandra Medford, the shy musician and teacher Jane Spofford and the journalist Sukie Ridgemont are best friends. Alexandra is a widow; Jane is divorced since she can not have a child; and Sukie is divorced because she frequently gets pregnant and has five children. They are sexually repressed and one night, they describe the characteristics of their ideal man while drinking. There is a storm on the town and the mysterious Daryl Van Horne appears in town and buys a notorious mansion. Nobody can recall his name, but he seduces the three friends. Meanwhile the pious Felicia Alden, who is married with Sukie's boss Clyde Alden, has a weird accident and feels that Daryl is the devil. When Felicia dies, Alexandra, Jane and Sukie realize that there is something strange about Daryl. What an odd movie to reference.
