Or just don't do it at all and include Lilo to go with now two Stitches, smh. Most of those look amazing, really the only weak one is Baymax - his upper body really should be done with a large mould. Oooooh, I did not expect the figures to leak so early. I just hope Aurora and the Queen look better as we get more shots of them. I'm not a huge Pixar fan but Coco was one of their better recent original movies so I wouldn't mind getting the minifigures for that. Stitch is the only new character I would have made an exception for but I'm not interested now. Overall, I'll be getting all the classic Disney characters from Oswald to Pocahontas. But I like the Magic Mirror which will replace the one in my Cinderella Castle. Very weird choices for what should be a very simple design. The Evil Queen, I'm still confused as to why she has a visible underskirt or a line down her torso. Baymax looks quite awful as well so he's an easy skip. Stitch still looks incomplete to me without his antenna. I do like that they took the HP owl mold and used that for her owl. The Prince Phillip in the Maleficent set is in his forest outfit which means he won't match with pink dress Aurora and you can't accurately recreate the scene where he kisses her. The shade of pink used for her also seems too light which is why I would have preferred the blue dress or Briar Rose dress. I think I need to see more pics of her in different lightings or angles but her hair seems way too short for her and the generic crown doesn't suit her. I love Oswald, Pinocchio, Jiminy, Mickey, and the Robin Hood and Coco characters as well. Pocahontas looks incredible with windswept hair and leaves. Although still disappointed that Patch's coloring is off. I like the additions to Cruella as well with a fur piece around her neck and her purse most of all because that exclusion was really bothering me. I love that they're reusing that particular skirt piece for the Queen of Hearts and she has her heart scepter. Disney got their groove back in fits and starts and tbh when I watch Mermaid nowadays, I can tell which sequences had the effort lavished on them and which proceeded at about the same low-medium level of craft as the previous era. That transitional period also saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a hybrid live-action/animation project which has never been eclipsed as far as the seamlessness of its medium blending. The one is too ambitious and the other too all-around competent to qualify. The Disney Renaissance proper began in 1989 with The Little Mermaid, but Cauldron and Detective aren't quite part of the post-Walt slump. Fortunately, the next year brought The Great Mouse Detective, which scaled back the animation a little in favor of going ham on fun characters, a tight story, and all that other good stuff. In 1985, they tried to pull out of the slump with The Black Cauldron, a big-budget fantasy that brought animation back up to a high standard of quality but unfortunately missed the boat on literally everything else-clumsy script, dull characters, no songs, and a blank of a background score (despite bringing Elmer Bernstein on as the composer). The live-action division, as points out, was even worse off, with more movies being produced but almost every one of them utterly forgettable. Budgets shrank to the point where reusing animation from previous films, once a sparingly used time-saver, became an absolute necessity just to finish a film (the prime example being our beloved Robin Hood), and they were only able to release an animated feature about every 4 years. It's not that the films are necessarily bad per se- The Rescuers consistently gets good reviews and Robin Hood somehow manages to be much greater than the sum of its parts for people who got into it as children (such as you, and also me), but the company was flailing in the absence of decisive central leadership during that period and becoming much more timid about its art. Is that a thing? What movies are also in that Dark Age because i really liked Robin Hood (i always wanted to be that small stupid vulture with its crossbow for some reason x-D)īesides Robin Hood, most chroniclers classify The Aristocats, The Rescuers, and The Fox and the Hound in that era.
