It’s very amusing that Paramount owns all the Miramax films Disney made from 1993 to 2010.

Also, I mentioned this in the SW thread, but do you all find similarities between Disney era SW and Disney era Power Rangers in terms of management.

iirc Disney-era Power Rangers was, what, SPD and the ones around it? I was under the impression SPD was pretty decent as a show.

Disney Power Rangers ended with RPM (around 2009-ish), and ignoring nostalgia, it was easily my favorite of all the Power Rangers seasons I've seen. (TBF, I haven't seen every Disney season, and I haven't really watched any season since then, aside from an odd episode or two.)

And yeah, it's been a while, but I remember SPD being pretty good. (That didn't stop me, and everyone else, from snickering and calling it "Power Rangers STD" at the time though.)

I always remember those slow motion back explosions in those seasons.

One thing that Disney actually did right with PR is that they didn’t rely too much on MMPR nostalgia like the Neo Saban seasons did. They at least were willing to come up with their own original ideas instead of just copying the Sentai note for note.
 
to be fair Muppets haven't been particularly "alive" since the 90s at even the most generous
 
Several things to note.

Firstly I have a very love or hate relationship with Disney. What they did in the past up until Walt died and for a few decades after will either be immortal classics or underrated gems. The modern stuff I can take or leave but I usually get any idea what's hit or missed based on what I read here or non media opinions.

Second I've started rewatching talespin and I have to wonder if the villian the "air pirates." Are an intentional reference to an underground comic from the 70s that drew porn of Mickey and Minnie and is often considered the first case of the he company being sue happy over copyrights

Lastly....you guys would really rather die than sit through chicken little?
It's the lesser of two evils and beats dying.

For all I know it could be, but I doubt the company would have approved if it was intentional.

Eh it was 20 years after the lawsuit at least when talespin came out, I doubt old Jeffrey and Eisner had even heard of it but if the writers did it would be easy to make and Fein ignorance of they got called out on it.

Dying won't save you from him.

(Also I didn't know there were TWO giant inflatable Chicken Littles, I thought there was only the one they put in California Adventure but this one is from Disney World.)

I haven't voted, but Chicken Little is... mediocre at best. I remember sitting in that theater with my grandmother wondering if I made a mistake (the only joke I laughed at was the lemmings joke), but at the same time, that was the time period (mid-2000s) where I was paying much closer attention to what I was watching and thinking a lot of the PG-rated movies that came out were trash. I would then still continue to watch it on DVD for some weird reason, but I never thought it was a good movie, it was just something to waste time watching. Also I guess it was a way to see how many pop culture references I could pick out, and I'm sure I've still missed a bunch. But yeah, consider it an odd time capsule where Disney tried to copy the DreamWorks formula.

Still have of yet to see Hunchback 2, but I'm not in any rush to see it any time soon, that's for sure.

This Muppets Now shit shows they haven't learned much from past mistakes. If the Muppets weren't dead before, they sure as Hell are now.

I just want them to release the rest of the goddamn original Muppet Show on DVD/Bluray. They stopped at season 3, and season 4 and beyond had a whole bunch of the best guests on it. John Denver, Christopher Reeve, Star Wars, Marty Feldman, etc.

I've been waiting for years. The show isn't even on Disney Plus at all. I guess they don't want to pay for the rights to the fucking music.
 
Back when Chicken Little was in theaters my aunt went and purchased tickets to see it at El Capitan (old theatre Disney owns where they premiere all their movies) with my brother. As they’re waiting in line my brother sees a display with a bunch of Herbie toys and old DVDs and my brother, a real sperg for sentient vehicles at the time, really wanted a toy. My aunt who already went and bought the tickets, drove them to LA, found parking, and wait in a fairly long line really didn’t want to go and pay for something else. So my brother throws a fit in line, including kicking my aunt’s boyfriend at the time. Aunt has enough and hands the tickets off to a father and son walking past and heads home. I like to remind them how they dodged a bullet and sent a pair of total strangers got to see Chicken Little for free.

edit: grammar

Splash Mountain ride vehicle became submerged underwater with guests onboard, video shows

Another rider posted photos of the incident as well, showing their feet submerged in water and the ride vehicle wet and submerged underwater.

glad to see maintenance is up to its usual quality

Splash mountain is so poorly maintained, retheming it might mean no broken animatronics but I'll be surprised if they do anything about this.
