Animatics suggested she was gonna discard all that and conform solely because she desperately didn't want to lose her best friend who was metaphorically and literally maturing past her

Cancelled Pixar movie centered around a platonic break up
There are magical girls in it but like Steven Universe-esque magical girls
Right girl is basically chosen to be one of them and the gist is that it's a metaphor for her maturing at the cost of her bond with their best friend since she has to leave her behind to join said magical girls

>Cancelled Pixar movie centered around a platonic break up and magical girls
This is an unexpected movie theme. Any idea why it got cancelled? I thought with how apparently well Inside Out did Pixar would be all for some girl relationship drama with some fantastical elements and theme of growing up.

>>
>>152786969

If Pete Docter's comments on Pixar's future output are any indication, it was too "autobiographical" and lacked mass appeal
The story might also have been hard to work with because platonic break-ups are pretty hard to write in a satisfying manner

Alright, taller girl better have anxiety problems and glasses

>>152787008
Why does everyone say this as if the two girls weren’t obviously going to go back to being best friends by the end of the movie? Do you people honestly think they spoiled the end of the movie in the log line? Can we use our brains here?

Huh, when put like that I can sort of get it. Unfortunate. I do really like the look of the blonde one a lot. And the short one I could maybe see being better in motion. Did this get leaked? I didn't think Pixar made a habit of sharing their cancelled production works.
>>
>>152787029
Anon, if the magical girl transformation is supposed to represent growing up, Jules rejecting it would be bad especially since the transformation is what gave her confidence and self-actualization to begin with.
It's clear as daylight that Birdie actively protects Jules to the point of co-dependency but Birdie is more dependant on Jules given the lengths (from what we saw) of her trying to keep that friendship
They have different wants and goals and neither of them should compromise on what they should be if it just makes their bond worse anyways
The fact that this movie was allegedly based on the director's real life childhood platonic break up would just look like sad wish fulfillment if neither girl changed meaningfully in the end

>>
>>152787093
>and an out of context animatic
Technically three and it's pretty obvious where the plot was heading with this
>Jules' being a scaredy cat but chosen for her "courage"
>She finds confidence after joining the Eternity Squad and how she doesn't see herself having the same future Birdie had in mind
>Birdie embracing her quirks again when she literally picks them up out of the trash
Do you seriously think the film would have ended with Birdie's boast that her and Jules' life being already planned out will go exactly the way she detailed it in front of the Eternity Squad's leader?
Magical girls are commonly associated with coming of age themes for a reason
They'd reconcile but they'd accept that one is a completely different person (literally even) now and they go their separate ways, treasuring their time with each other but acknowledge it'll never be the same between them ever again

There was a rumor it was reworked into a short film but REALLY doubt it since it's like "copyright abuse take down = Smash Bros roster reveal" levels reveal level of dumb
The notion of it being a short stems from fucking Grok explaining why pics of it were taken down on Twitter and I struggle see this plot work in 8 minutes (granted, Bao being as good as it is makes me think it MIGHT)
>>

Grok and random rumors. Yeah that sounds like a big stretch. But at least it's out there and there were storyboards. Could have been a series if they went the Win or Lose direction.
>>
>>152787138
I can understand why this was rejected. Growing apart is a fact of life and a moral lesson that undermines that is not appropriate for a kid's movie. But the friendship ending, as it probably should, is also not satisfying for a kid's film.
>>
>>152787674
Lots of media for kids delve into friendship isn't forever themes but there's a reason why they involve tropes like
>A new character introduced entirely with a retroactive past
>Said character potentially being a jerk
>The falling out happened off-screen
The actual falling out between two friends whom the audience is supposed to value their bond is hardly given focus.
There's stuff like it like Toy Story 4 or HTTYD 3 but examples like this where the characters are kids is different because it's analogous to real life development of someone's change in character
Woody and Buzz or Hiccup and Toothless will always be friends regardless of distance but that's because neither of those characters actually change from the ground up

Look at the fat one's hair line and face. He lowered it and her face.

Something people need to understand is that despite being made for females magical girl shows were perfected by creepy pedophilic men in their 40's.

Removing this intrinsically necessary aspect create things like that, something that in theory was made to appeal more to women and their narcissistic need of adding themselves in to everything and not for little girls, and the fact little girls (and pedos) have the same aesthetic taste.

Jeffrey epistein could make a much more competent magical girl show than this if you gave him the opportunity to. At very least I don't think he would add a giga nigga magical girl if not for a joke, I don't know anyone would think this is actually cool.

I somehow knew some dumb bitch would bring up sailor moon like the god damn manga from the fucking 90's has any relevance on modern magical girl shows and that gets mogged in everything it tries to do by Magic Knight Rayearth.

I think the character on the left being both fat and quirck chungus is too much, plus the colors are so garish is really hard to even look at it. she becomes distracting and is just unappealing overall.

Pick one or the other and clean it a bit to remove all the garish stuff that is all over the place and make sure she is more leaning to cute chubby over obese child. i think this character was designed more to be this weird avatar of the artist entire childhood in a singular character were she can't pick up a singular thing and needs to put everything in one place to appealing to an entire audience.

Nerd girl still cuter but what can you do. Nerdy girls are always really cute.
>>
>>152789029
Honestly not bad. You took the harder to adapt character and tackled her. Admittedly there does look to have been quite a bit of reigning in to make her work but it's still good. Nice work Magi. Any thoughts about trying the one on the right too? I'd be curious how you'd handle her massive fivehead in your style.
>>
>>152786349
Even Satan would see this and go "What the hell?!"

>>152787008
>it was too "autobiographical" and lacked mass appeal
It was a fag's vanity project like with Elio then.
>>
>>152789129
as you said, she is easier to adapt, but in general, these design I felt have too many elements that I don't felt contributes how the character is recognized in cohesive manner... which is kind of the opposite problem I had with something like Elio... but what can I say, I am the kind of guy who likes greeble maxxing genshin is doing so I can't really criticize.

>>
>>152789116
I think the fashion is the only problem with these designs. It’s too much on left girl mostly because it’s dated. Someone pointed out in a prev thread that they dress the way 30 year olds think quirky kids dress.

That's pretty good too. Cute big forehead and awkward feel to her. Yeah these two were definitely going to need some simplifying if the movie ever planned on getting beyond the ground floor. May he why the only production stuff we've got of them is this one shot in OP and storyboards where they're simplified.

Why are girl story so shallow and low stake? Its just teenagers egotistical egotrips over and over and over.

Took me a minute to notice, but look at the face of the girl on the right. She has freckles, a hatched blush, and a color blush. All separate elements.
Any one of those things by themselves would be enough. Despite some charm, these designs say "no self control" on the part of the artist, and remind me of some of the worst excesses of tumblr era art.

It's in the storyboards and concept art
Granted it's kind of unclear which one is supposed to be her in the concept art
Either the one with twin tails (because that's the one absent in the storyboards) or the one with a ponytail (because of basic visual recognition)
>>
>>152792042
Naturally. Her normal appearance is incredibly cute. The magical girl transformations looked rough at best from the concept art and storyboards. I'm not even sure which was supposed to be hers.

If this or the other concepts were going to be the transformed stated then yes I think her base appearance would have gotten more notice. Neither of them have the appeal awkward gangly dork girl has.

I don't think they'd have had similar audiences. And outside of the dorky girl and the magical one in a suit on the far right I don't think the designs would have really caught anyone's eye. Unless they managed to hook in the Steven Universe groups, which it looked like they were trying to do.

Oh, I have no doubt this would have bombed just as hard as their other movies lately. I'm sure that's not what the crew at Pixar think.
That said, I do think this could have made for a more compelling TV series than the softball show they gave us. Not every idea needs to be a 150 million dollar movie, especially one where they're taking some real risks.

>>152792573
Yes I think that's an apt comparison. The audience would grow attached to the awkward dork they start with rather than the magical thing they see her turn into for a few minutes or whatever.

>>152793750
Gee Anon, it's like this is basic storytelling 101
There's a stronger argument for Jules staying transformed by the end of the film and going her separate ways than there is if literally NOTHING changed from the start of the film between Birdie and Jules
>>
>>152793762
It MIGHT have been a gradual process
The gem seems to have been doing something given there was some destruction associated with it with the Eternity Squad following the duo through it
Birdie still recognized Jules to an extent even when her form was nearing permanence

Friendship is not the piston cup
Half Pixar’s movies are about platonic relationships that endure a change of character
So yeah believable
>>
>>152795710
>about platonic relationships that endure a change of character
Except this isn't just a matter of changing professions or finding a new sense of purpose, this is analogous to complete overhaul of character
The same one that leads to childhood best friends drifting apart not out of malice but simply because of life
That one person you knew and was best friends with in elementary is probably a radically different person entirely whose hobbies, interests, priorities, etc are too incompatible to hold a regular conversation
>>
If the ending was supposed to have Jules refuse the transformation and stay normal to be Birdie's best friend (who doesn't need to compromise unlike her), why is Birdie the POV character in scenes like the one animatic with actual audio?
Wouldn't it make more sense for Jules if this was her lesson and not Birdie's?
>>
>>152796058
I mean would the ending not obviously be that Birdie accepts things change and you can only control your own life, while Jules learns she doesn’t have to choose between being herself and having friends?
>>
>>152796577
Except Jules doesn't devalue Birdie
Jules outright said she still wants Birdie to show up to her transformation being permanent as a friend and treasured their bond with her half of the friendship necklace
Joining the Eternity Squad means her leaving behind all the stuff Birdie planned and leaving Birdie outright to pursue her own life

None of that precludes an ending where the characters work things out and stay in touch lol. Assuming the status quo won’t change from the premise established in the logline is a big reach. The plot centers around a friendship necklace, it will have an ending that allows them to sell the friendship necklace as merch to millions of children. How that specifically would have manifested from the characters, we’ll never know.
>>
>>152798818
>She will take her rightful spot, climb into our jeep, and drive away with us forever.
Even if they bothered to try and keep up with each other through long distance communication, Jules and Birdie were likely meant to live drastically different, incompatible lives (and if Pixar was ballsy outright imply that gap would only widen with time)
Stuff like e-mails and text messages can only get you so far before you run out of things to talk about aside from basic check-ups on their well-being
I doubt they'd burn bridges with each other completely but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended with Birdie accepting Jules moved on and begins starting a new best friendship altogether.
Think of it like Robot Dreams
I'm not trying to play oracle, I'm just suggesting that by basic narrative plot beats and what we do know from the storyboards as well as what we can piece together, the odds are likely that Birdie's initial goal to keep Jules away from the Eternity Squad would have failed.
>>
Let's go over what we do know concretely from the storyboards and concept art
>Jules is anxious and scared and Birdie is protective of her, outright speaking and making decisions for her
>The Eternity Squad/Confidence Squad needs a fifth member and have sought out Jules
>Jules is tied to a gem that's been causing problems for her after magically choosing her to be
>Jules is told she can reject her gem but must make a decision, the Eternity Squad tell her she shouldn't reject it and that she'd be the perfect Crystal Courage much to her protest because she's a coward
>Birdie tells the leader of the Eternity Squad that'd she and Jules will "Perform at the Variety Show, get into TCPAHS, go to High School together, and then live happily ever after! Forever!"
>Birdie seeks Jules in one scene right before the Variety Show, questions Jules' then-current appearance and Jules questions why she's dressed the way she is
>Birdie mentions something about passing a class only for Jules to interrupt and say she's leaving, she WANTS to join the Eternity Squad and has found fulfillment out of her new blossoming form
>Birdie tells her "You were good at being my friend" which Jules laments in a way leaving Birdie shocked
>Despite that, Jules wants Birdie to witness the ritual in-person
>Cue lengthy speech from Birdie that we unfortunately have no audio of but Jules simply replies with "I think I have a different future" where Birdie is left speechless and crying even after Jules affirm to her she'll always remember their time via her half of the necklace
>There's also a villain who absorbs joy from people but they don't really appear outside of one animatic so it's hard to tell what their goal even is or how it got so powerful
>The Eternity Squad are morose and leaving on a bus, Birdie picks up her attire from the trash, and she Jules, Sandeep, and Gary (who wants a fatherly bond with Birdie) take off to get the Squad back
>>

Yes. That’s all it takes. That’s enough to sell the best friend necklaces. Jules embraces her fighting spirit and doesn’t dim her light to manage other people’s feelings. Birdie gets over herself, learns to depend on herself and cheers Jules on. They have a way to Facetime. Friends move and things change, but friendship matters. That is the promise of the premise here to a Pixar audience. The adults might foresee their friendship not enduring, but the kids get the message that they should buy a friendship necklace because their friendship matters now.
I get that what you believe is this would only be satisfying if their differences turn out to be insurmountable in the end, or that it would just be a better story based on the scenes we saw, but the only reason to assume that would be the only possible way to resolve the conflict is personal preference.
>>
>>152799225
>Jules embraces her fighting spirit and doesn’t dim her light to manage other people’s feelings. Birdie gets over herself, learns to depend on herself and cheers Jules on. They have a way to Facetime
That's almost as stupid as Hop's ending where E.B. accepts the Easter Bunny position because
>lol you only need to do it once a year lmao
Which just invalidates the whole plot because the whole thing would have ended way too easily had that been brought up at the start of the film
I say almost cause, let's face it Hop is a special kind of shitty
That said, I get your point under a cynical, money-driven lens but as a story first and foremost, the most grounded and honest take would be for Birdie to find new friends who are more compatible with her than what Jules becomes at the end.
Is it personal preference?
Yeah but I can't picture Pixar going for such a half-assed "just facetime" solution to the problem at hand
They can be "friends" sure but I can't imagine them still remaining "best friends"

I don’t think you hear what I’m saying if you think it in any way contradicts this possibility
The resolution is them dealing with their shit in the course of the story, not the final image
The premise and merch leader is the half friendship necklace, begging the question whether it will be repaired
The clips show some of the shape of the rift in the friendship, pointing to likely resolutions
That’s all I said: Assuming the simplest explanation, by the end a form of repair would probably happen in this friendship, even if they part to separate futures.
I wasn’t taking the counter position that you are emphasizing, that the only alternative is that they stay best friends forever and we see a detailed explanation how. I don’t think that, I said I don’t think the other extreme that it would end with insurmountable differences, makes more sense given this specific premise for this specific audience, even if it would be a more fresh story. Just working off the studio’s established track record. It is anyone’s guess.

Alright, I get what you mean and I'm starting to think we have more common ground on this subject than we assumed at first
I never meant that Birdie and Jules would hate each other or even cut each other completely immediately, just that their friendship by the end of the film would be significantly different from how they'd start out with the possible risk that it'll dwindle over time but I admit that'd be Pixar being ballsy for being so blunt with this subject matter
You can wrap up the message that "being best friends isn't forever but not being forever doesn't make those experiences worthless" and I get that'd still leave kids unsatisfied because they don't want to face the truth like that and how actively Pixar sells itself on friendship.
I guess I don't see it as a resolution to a schism in their friendship because from what we can tell and observe base on what we have...Birdie and Jules don't fight or have an actual messy platonic break-up
They probably(?) did at some point if Birdie's attempt at explaining is any indication but that's hypothetical but regardless, Jules isn't mad at her at all
If anything, Jules is completely in the right during that scene whereas what Birdie wanted amounts to co-dependency
I honestly lost track on what we were even debating at this point
>>
Forgot to mention, I emphasize the differences amounting between Birdie and Jules solely out of what the animatics suggested and admittedly I'm leaning on the hypothesis that Birdie did try to conform given her attire during the back stage scene being atypical of her and her literally picking up her usual stuff that's actually true to her character from the trash (why else would they be there).
I'm reminded of that scene from Shrek 2
>But you love being an ogre Shrek!
>I know but I love Fiona more!
I could be easily proven wrong if we got more storyboards or if the full thing got leaked (and I'm welcomed to be proven wrong) but keeping true to the theme of what we know this movie was heading, it was Birdie trying to change herself to keep Jules but failing.
Jules must and wants to change but Birdie cannot even if she tried.
Good night

>>152797964
When she transforms she becomes pretty much a whole other person. Which is honestly pretty lame. Feel like it loses a lot changing the character design so much like that.

>I guess I don't see it as a resolution to a schism in their friendship because from what we can tell and observe base on what we have
in referring to conflict I’m mainly considering that “be fri” was the working title, implying the relationship, the distance between them and the physical prop symbolizing it is probably relevant to the core plot - whatever the nature of the difference. I further extrapolate because it’s a Pixar movie about friends, that the necklace would end up repaired and the relationship amicable even if parting ways. I think there are more and less interesting ways to execute that.

>If anything, Jules is completely in the right during that scene whereas what Birdie wanted amounts to co-dependency
>it was Birdie trying to change herself to keep Jules but failing.
>Jules must and wants to change but Birdie cannot even if she tried.
Yes. That does seem to be Birdie’s flaw. I was referring to her codependence in this earlier comment:
>Birdie accepts things change and you can only control your own life
Yes we were on common ground from the start, but either way the difference makes more conversation.

Anyone else notice how bad the design of chubby girl is? Her chin and her smile both look similar first time I saw her I thought she just had a low mouth and a pudgy nose. Because it was lower quality but honestly just a testament to over designed and under thought.

Some things about her could work but just not as is plus knowing modern movies this would have been in the Grubhub style and she'd look 1000x worse. Also even the magic girl designs are pretty meh not terrible but feels like they tried to hard to make them "different". I remember seeing a japanese tweet making fun of the fact most artist try to make their magic girl/heroines cute not US artist. An honestly very true all these designs besides the nerdy girl feel like they were tryhard and from those old tumblr memes

I'd have to look at her to see those problems, but I'd prefer not to.
There's also people already defense-forcing these problems as just being "concept art", even though they're technical and visual language issues, which are separate from the outfit designs and should be considered even at very early stages. They read poorly, and that's that.

Fat people are so disgusting, why do we have to see them in animation? It’s bad enough we have to see blacks in animation
>>
>>152799756
I doubt they'd have kept all those design elements in the finished version. They'd have had to tone her way down to make her work I think. But you are right it's like especially bad. A real throw everything in a design and hope something works.

Difference is the k pop demon hunters are hot and het. They are cool.
Noone wants to see ugly women. Audiences can tolerate ugly men in comedic roles but they have a visceral hatred for ugly women, especially if they are flawed.
If a flawed women is hot it's compelling.
Same with Gay shit, it's only enjoyable when they are hot.
Everyone apart from angry lesbians tolerate heterosexuals on screen, and that's because angry lesbians have daddy issues and hate seeing a women happy with a man.
Het and gay Men and women tolerate hot lesbians. Het men will tolerate it as long as the het male characters aren't narratively cucked, if there are girl boss anti men narratives that purposely make the male male character cucked they won't tolerate it.
Women and gay men and women tolerate hot gay men.
Only gold star angry lesbians tolerate ugly lesbians because they hate beauty. That's like 2% of the population if even, I wouldn't be surprised if gold star lesbians are less.

There was also that storyboarded scene. But that's not a lot. It was probably cancelled before much was made.
>>
So going by the storyboards
Here's my take on how this movie ends
>Hope Eater undoes Jules' transformation which Birdie regrets initially wanting
>The Eternity Squad try fending off the Hope Eater only to have their hope devoured by it and the four proceed to give up
>Jules and Birdie try getting back to them and restore their hope or restore Jules' powers
>??????
>Jules properly joins the Eternity Squad and delivers the final blow to Hope Eater
>Birdie solemnly accepts Jules is a changed girl now and performs at the Variety Show by herself or with Sandeep whom she warmed up to
>Jules watches from a distance, smiling before taking off in the Eternity Squad's jeep
Any other suggestions?
I'm kind of leaning on Gary being Birdie's adoptive dad whom she doesn't consider her father (it's an adoption thing, a child can still respect the step parent but not recognize them as their actual father or mother. Even Mr. Birchum knew that)

Why I said tumblr esque they loved all the overly rainbow, tumblr was like a new version of the deviantart cringe art. Also think they'd do a bit less but ironically notice with 3d they can keep these overly designed mcs because 3d isn't like 2d once model and brushes and colors added it's like a infinite use toy. Why they even moved to 3d anyway they can just make a series if it did really well. With the heroines if meant them think they'd be mostly the same they fit the body shape theory style and weren't terrible just feel a bit meh because overly shape focus to me.
>>152800746
I think they are defending just for sake of defending as well. Many see these type ocs and instantly hate others do inverse and defend. I think hating on them is fair but if they were super well written I'd be less cruel and would accept just mid designs. But ironically all we have is the design so kind of a mute point. If the design is bad then it makes sense why it flopped.

Left looks like the type who'd either be the least social girl in school or the most social, depending on how shitty the rest of her peers are. Right looks like the girl who'd probably have a crush on you for years but only tell you years after the fact.

Why does she remind me of Merian?

I thought the same thing. She's in the same vein of big fore head girls with ponytails and braces. A top tier kind of girl. Kind of sucks this got cancelled only because I would have wanted to see her in motion.

>>152815743
Feature length pixar projects getting cancelled are so rare compared to almost any other major studio. And they only ever really happen because the logistics never quite lined up, it was a using a completely different medium or there was a nearly identical movie in the works.
This could possibly be considered a logistics issue but how it died is so much more different than the other 6 cancelled projects.
>>
>>152815988
If it's any consolation the director is still at Pixar but Disney giving up on even bothering trying to take down leaks after the initial stuff came out doesn't bode well
It's kind of like how Nintendo was gung-ho take down videos of Project Harmony only to stop cause the project was already long dead

I know exactly the type of kid this art is meant to evoke and they do look exactly like this, but you just gotta simplify them a bit to make them memorable main characters. even Turning Red knew to color-code all the kids
