>>154874030how are you posting from 1937
>>154874030Fuck FDR that crippled communist has been in office for too long
>>154874030That's basically what Tolkien and Lewis said after watching it at the local picture house. Tolkien later made sure that Disney wouldn't touch his work.
>>154874148tolkiens take was slightly more nuancedhe thought it was artistically great and walt disney an excellent artistwhat he hated was that he felt it was a moral failing, walt disney just ignored hundreds of years of real world mythology and paid no respect to the oral traditions from which the dwarf was derived in favor of making a oafish and comedic charactersessentially, he thought that disney was making a soulless cashgrab that was eerily close to the villains of his own storiessaruman and sauron were clever, brilliant even, but they didnt respect the tradition that came before in favor of blunt progress
>>154874030>baby-ass storybook logic where nothing is ever properly explained>characters who always act irrationallyAre things ever explained in the original fairy tales and myths? They were stories, not novels. The same applies to how characters act. Characters just seem to do things in fairy tales and myths.>90% filler, they even have a song thats literally about nothing called the silly song, as if being self-aware about how silly makes it unsillyCan't avoid filler if it's going to be feature length. And c'mon, that was a funny song.>rotoscoped animation is a lazy shortcut instead of hand drawing their movementAgreed there. The Fleischers were the only ones who could make rotoscoping look good.>multiplanar camera work is lazy shortcut for hand drawing the parallaxI never heard anyone call multiplane lazy. Hand drawing parallax just sounds like pointless busywork.>cant decide if it wants to be for kids or adults, putting scary imagery right next to juvenile humor about assesWas "marketing to kids" even a thing in 1938? I think you're seeing through the lens of Modern Disney's "family movies" marketing here.
>>154874649>Can't avoid filler if it's going to be feature length. And c'mon, that was a funny song.Then maybe adapting a 10 page long story into a 1h20m long movie was a stupid-ass idea? You know how people complained that the 320-page-long Hobbit book got adapted into a 9-hour-long movie trilogy? That's 1.68 minutes per page. While Snow White is 8 minutes per page. Not only that, they still cut out some of the story! Like the Queen's first two murder attempts with the comb and the corset. It's really no wonder the movie's pacing is so goddamn slow.
>>154874030You could say that for every Victorian-era adaptation of fairy tales every. Go German if you want the real fucked-up shit.
