when you're at Disney World you're always an honorary Florida Man
 
Ok out of morbid curiosity I decided to check out Muppets now and...my God I'm 8 minutes in and I already wanna kill myself, or at least flatline so I can go pay Jim Henson a visit in these great beyond and apologize for this.

Make-up tutorials, photo bombing, Skype, streaming uploads and God God what did they do to Kermit's voice?! The voice of Kermit on family guy was more convincing than this.

All I can say is I'm only staying to say I have an honest opinion on this dreck and that anyone who says it's genuinely a good show is just another mindless, brain washed, coonsoomerist corporate drone.


Edit: as soon as ru Paul showed up I was legit worried this was gonna turn into another case off the Media embracing drag. I was semi relieved there was only one reference to his drag queen show and a subtile one at least. Also is that Howard muppet supposed to be a gay muppet?

Huh, I was just thinking about this today. Well, not so much this but what's going to happen to Disneyland, as soon as BLM starts thinking about it.

Let's see... you enter on Main Street, USA. A celebration of turn of the century Middle America towns - oh oh, that's RACIST. No black folk and during the period of Jim Crow and the Klan! It'll have to go.

Up to the Hub and then into Adventureland, who's two main attractions are Jungle Cruise, set in 1930's colonial Africa and with unflattering african people figures; and Tarzan's Treehouse, a white savior character. Oh oh, that's RACIST.

You can then walk through New Orleans Square and up to Splash Mountain which WILL be 'Princess and the Frog' themed but... oh oh. That means a voodoo priest black character. In a big ol' tribal chief top hat, no less. RACIST.

Then it's into Frontierland as you circle back and... oh man. American West, and all that implies about the treatment of Native Americans? RACIST.

Mind, I'm being tounge in cheek about all of this and I get it; Disneyland's theming is about idealized nostalga; the present age is never the golden age, but the past always is, in our minds and we try to remember the good parts. No big. But I do wonder where Disney, who's kowtowing down hard for BLM, is going to end up doing with the Anaheim park if this madness goes on.

If they really kowtow to BLM, they'll replace all of the old America nostalgia with modern Disney IPs all over the place.

My car!

Oh btw Tom Hanks is in talks to play Gepetto in the unnecessary live action Pinocchio.

My first question is: Him?!

Second: why.

Third: this is unfilmable in live action

Fourth: I don't understand the love for the film because the fucking donkey scenes were traumatizing.

Fifth: Faerie Tale Theatre adaptation of the original tale is best and features Paul Rubens, Carl Reiner, Lanie Kazan, and James Garner. Watch that one instead.

What's next a live action bolt with Miley Cyrus returning to the role only as a washed up child star now turned into an ecstasy junkie?

Faerie Tale Theatre was the shit. Those are the only live action fairytale adaptations that a person ever needs, IMO.

And Jeff Goldblum as the Big Bad Wolf in the Three Little Pigs episode is the greatest thing ever filmed. /ChangeMyMind

Yes, as others have already said, but this isn't even the first time that Disney has re-remade an originally animated film as a shitty live action film.
Does anybody else remember the *original* Disney Live action Jungle Book?

Miramax distributed that one here, didn’t they? Weren’t they still part of Disney?

Anyway, apparently there’s another new version from Italy and Benigni is in it - but he’s Geppetto.

It was indeed disturbed by Miramax and Miramax was indeed owned by Disney, but I don't think there was any real connection between the two movies other than adapting the same story.
