Disney’s The Lion King was re-released in movie theaters backed in September 16th, 2011, along with The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and The Lion King 1 1/2 are both in DVD and Blu-Ray in March 6, 2012, which DisneyToon Studios was completely shut down in June 28, 2018
Uhm... Garfield always had the Lost Kitten backstory. He was abandoned behind an Italian restaurant in the comics from my recollection. Garfield was always mean spirited as hell.
Oh yeah car's 2 was a bizarre spy movie about a rusted out truck. All i remember was not understanding what or why any of this was happening when the big race was going on 😂
I just can’t give you Ernesto as a good twist or villain. The INSTANT I saw the real abuelos face, I literally said “Oh, this guy is definitely the real abuelo, and that means Ernesto is another twist villain.” Also Coco is mid as a whole. Fight me, all of you.
I absolutely love a good theatrical villain, but a subtle evil is nice too. I think that a mix would be best, because it's the best of both worlds and it keeps the audience on their toes. Also, not that this would ever happen, but I'd love to see a Shakespearean tragedy type of movie. There's obviously a villain, but the protagonist, while good in their hearts, does some bad things (like Hamlet or Othello)
I feel like if I were to make a Garfield movie, I would've probably taken the plot for one of the specials and expanded on one of them into a full movie. Maybe "Garfield Gets A Life," or even the book "Garfield's Judgement Day" which almost became a movie in the 90s where a hurricane destroys Garfield's home. And would've gone with The Peanuts Movie style. (Or if you HAD to make it live action, I'd go full Roger Rabbit with 2D animals and have it be set in the late 70s when Garfield was created. Giving the film a surrealism feel over the other live action films and you can really play with the colors the cartoon's style score.) Also, Bill Hader would've been my choice for the new voice of Garfield instead.
"Why does the Garfield movie have a long lost father subplot?" Here's a better question: Why does Cellspex change the names and thumbnails of their channel's videos within 2 seconds of posting them?. Is it a cheap way to get more views by tricking people into thinking you made a different video entirely that they haven't seen before? lol, maybe you've answered this question a bunch of times before and I just missed the explanation but that's certainly what it comes off as.
There is another very old cartoon based on "The Canterville Ghost" from 1970, although I can't say how much it is adapted or not, since I only know the cartoon, not the original
Honestly I feel like the Garfield show voice of Frank Welker for Garfield would have worked better, because that voice genuinely is the one I associate with garfield.
I've seen this movie twice in the past couple years... don't know why back then i didnt hear or desire to watch this movie in 2015 😢 I love this movie seeing it as a 25 year old. She's literally super negative towards it, maybe do to the cliches and similarities back then... but watching it now feels heart warming watching it now
This video was great but The ONLY part I'm indifferent is April. She was very selfish and only out for herself. She kept telling the turtles they were lame and not worthy of being recorded. She ONLY wanted to be famous and popular in school. She was using the turtles. Her personality definitely matched her outward appearance.... UGLY.
I will say this in defense of HB, before watching the video. People who watch this series NEEDS to let go of any preconceptions when viewing this show and seeing it like any other TV series, because this show is Indie and its production is done differently you cannot expect it to give out information like how we would view in a regular show that deals out 5 eps a week or even streaming shows that just dumps each season. you also have to take into account that this series IS a spin off of Hazbin Hotel, which means it shares the same universe as that show and that may affect its episode release schedule, why? because events in HB could take place before, during, or after events from Hazbin Hotel and any connection the two have might lead to spoilers for Hazbin who has a different production schedule and release. this may be why episodes are spread out, besides the usual scheduling to accommodate for animators, recordings, etc. I say all this because I've seen the criticism of the show and tbh i don't really agree with them, if anything we should properly judge the series and reserve criticisms when the show is fully completed to see where the pieces fall and how well does everything connect. otherwise are we really doing the series a service by jumping the gun with judging it?
In my opinion. A lot of the animated movies released in 2011 are pretty depressing. Kung fu panda 2 is violent, puss in boots can get sad at times, cars 2 can get violent and he’ll even Rio can get depressing at times… Arthur Christmas is the only movie released in the 2011 that isn’t depressing. It’s lovely and I love it.
I would have preferred a plot focusing on Jon and Garfield's relationship with each other, with classic sarcastic Garfield. Maybe have Garfield read Jon's comics (since he is a cartoonist) and have him get upset that Jon portrays him in such a negative light (which would be on brand for Garfield). I would have loved to see them expand on Jon's loneliness and eccentric personality traits, with both him and Garfield getting outside their comfort zone. One way they could do this is to have a plot involving something happening to Odie, since Jon and Garfield care about him. I'm spitballing ideas here, but I really could care less for the Dad OC in the movie. I hope he appears in the comics if they want to do more with him.
I have such a soft spot for Mars needs moms, I have never found the mocap art style of this film & polar express creepy. It’s always been so charming to me. & I always thought that ending scene of his mom sacrificing her life for him even after their argument, saved the movie for me. As a kid & now it brings me to tears. If it had a different art style & better pacing I genuinely think some people would consider it a cult classic.
Me and my family went to go see Rio when it came out, and when we were going home there was a giant plume of smoke off in the distance, and a lot of helicopters over head. Turns out a massive man made fire broke out where I lived (this was in Texas during one of the dryest parts of the year), and it ended up destroying most homes and ended up killing a lot of people. There’s still a giant empty space that used to be where homes were. Rio saved me a traumatizing and potentially life threatening situation, my home ended up relatively fine thankfully but we still lived incredibly close to the fire. So uh…thanks Rio!
The "long lost father" plot gets even weirder when you consider Garfield literally has a long-lost mom that he met in the comic strips and a tv special. They could have done something with that instead
You know what could've actually worked for this movie, which I would've found to be much better is that instead of the standard "long lost father" arc they went with or every "villain" arc, is it could've been: It shows garfield growing up, all that stays the same, but he starts getting just a little bit selfish as he grows up and ends up getting grounded or smth and isn't allowed to have lasagna. John (hopefully I'm spelling his name right) leaves and garfield and otto (hopefully I'm spelling that right too) go on a heist for lasagna still, AND there can still be a lot of slap-stick comedy while avoiding john without the whole "father" or "villain" arc, and at the end, John gets back and its as if the two never left, and he just says something like "I cant stay mad at you, here's some lasagna" and garfield just gets annoyed and doesn't even want it. There could be many side plots that add up to the final to make it a movie, but this would've been better than what they actually did. Either way, decent movie, 5 or 6/10.
As a massive MtR fan, I love bowler hat guy as a comedic villain, but as a villain villain he comes off more like Doofensmirtz as a villain villain, in which neither really are
They ripped off Heathcliff. Heathcliff actually has a convict father that appeared in the comic strip and cartoon named Pops Heathcliff. He looks exactly like Heathcliff 'cept he has a five oclock shadow and wears a striped prison uniform.
