Their Moana is very talented, and their Maui is a local newscaster whose daughters made him audition!
Rachel House still voices Grandma Tala, Temuera Morrison still voices the Chief, and Jemaine Clement still voices Tamatoa.
Rob Ruha and Jemaine Clement translated and rearranged the music so that the songs still worked while sung in a different language, which is super impressive.
this news is from earlier this year, you can now actually listen/watch the te reo version in clips on youtube now. this one is pretty exemplary of the original and new voice actors together! ❤
Lilo and Stitch meet Moana and Maui!(and Heihei and Pua!)
Also yea, Stitch could probably otherwise lift the hook, but this seemed funny, so. Too bad. Plus, Maui’s leaning pose made sense with the original background I painted, but I didn’t much like it and well…Here we are now. Nothing makes sense and I’m a bad person. Life is very hard.
okay the Coco + Olaf’s Frozen Adventure thing needs some explanation because i just found out about it today and im still cracking up
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure was supposed to be the next part in the Frozenverse that was set to be a holiday special on ABC, but for whatever reason, that fell through and it instead aired in front of airings of Coco, continuing Pixar’s tradition of airing short standalone films in front of their full feature-length films
only… the key word here is “short.” i definitely don’t remember any Pixar short being longer than 5 minutes, but Olaf’s Frozen Adventure was originally set to be a holiday special… on TV. a holiday special the length of a TV show
ie, ~twenty one minutes long
opinions of the short itself vary wildly, but pretty much everyone universally agrees that it was far too long to be played as an “opening act”
combined with the fact that the short wasn’t shown during critic screenings, meaning reviews of the movie did not have any clue about the short’s existence, the “short” led to some baffled and very unhappy movie-goers, particularly in Mexico. confused kids, harried parents (taking young children to the movie is hard enough for a regular movie, imagine an extra half-hour), and theater workers having to explain to a lot of customers that they were in the right movie
and, as that last post said, there was so much backlash in Mexico at least one theater chain has outright pulled the short from screenings of Coco
i cant believe that Disney decided to turn theatergoers into a captive audience for Frozen and made everyone, including children, hate their precious franchise
i love it.
“Let us gooo, let us goooo!”
For the record: there are two big theater chains in Mexico and both removed it the very next weekend after Coco’s premier.
First look at what Dash’s hair might look like in Incredibles 2.
what the fuck
This is giving me an intense emotion that I can’t quite understand
They’re doing the same thing they did when promoting the first film!
I remember seeing this bit of hair testing animation EVERYWHERE when they were talking about the technology of making the first film. They were so proud of it, and rightfully so! So it’s looking like they’re doing the same thing again with showing off this hair lighting.
