I didn't see this posted on the forum yet, so I thought I'd do the honor. Apparently to be released in 2018, this movie about a female adventurer named Moana from the Pacific Islands 2000 years ago is supposed to be done in animation similar to Paper Man.

How many want to bet that before 2018 they switch the animation to standard CGI in the vein of Frozen and Tangled, and change the title to some catchy, Verbed Title like "Adventured" or "Islanded" or something?

Can I just say how much I look forward to the inevitable nonsensical rage from tumblr this movie will generate?

The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again.

It will be glorious. And then it will be boring, but for a brief, shining moment the Tumblr hurt will be glorious.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they decided to go with regular CG (although I would assume technical problems rather than malice), but I actually can't see them changing the title this time. Unlike Rapunzel or The Snow Queen, it doesn't automatically bring fairy tales (and therefore "girly shit") to mind.

I think it's got a lot of potential. This is an opportunity for them to really go all out on using cultural stuff, and I hope they realize that. The only thing keeping me from being super excited about it is Musker and Clements. I find most of their work pretty unmemorable.

They'll probably go through a couple different directors in the next five years anyway.

[up][up][up]Why does everyone assume Tumblr will be butthurt about this? They don't even know who/what the Hell this film will be about.(Aside from said title character.) Plus, everyone should know no one but a kid's grandparents will want to watch a 2D cartoon nowadays.

[up] Did you somehow miss the massive amounts of rage that Frozen generated? We could end up with that on a much larger scale.

That was evidently because there were no POC when logically there should b. If this movie has a POC as the lead I fail to see why it would cause an issue.

There's always a possibility that they'll cast someone white to voice her.

Probably accuse it for cultural appropriation. Or if Moana turns out to be skinny...

Or somehow not ethnic enough for them...or if they find any stylistic similarities to Tangled...or if Disney uses the Never Trust a Trailer strategy...

They'll find something to raise a fuss about, wether it's the voice actress, the "message" the main character is sending towards girl-children, appropriation of other cultures, getting a cultural detail just a wee bit wrong, or tweaking it to make it work better with the story, not making the characters look not-white enough... There'll be something. It's Tumblr.

Which reminds me, did they like cancel Kid Silver Samurai: the movie?

But seriously, can we please find some canon before we break loose with our Sayian-powered rage?

There was test footage and character silhouettes released for Big Hero 6 quite a while ago. I don't expect any more information to be out until around May or June next year.

And if they don't complain about that, they'll complain about the comic relief character.

Are you guys really Complaining About Complaining for a movie that won't been out for like five years?

This sounds intriguing, and yes, it's awfully silly to be concerned about what people are going to think about something we don't actually know anything about.

Yep this is happening.

I'm glad they won't have another fairy tale movie until 2018. They are making WAY too many princess/fairy tale movies in way too little span of time these days!

Next year we get a superhero-type deal. And... I don't actually know what's on the Disney slate for the next few years.

After that, they'll release Zootopia (a crime/comedy set in a world of anthro animals), and Giants (not sure if this is supposed to be Disney's feature-length take on Jack And The Beanstalk, but I doubt it considering Moana is supposed to be their NEXT fairy tale film).

After Big Hero 6 comes Zootopia, a Buddy Cop Show story set in a World of Funny Animals. And Jason Schwartzmann is apparently in it. That's in 2016, I think. Either that year or 2017, there's supposed to be a Jack And The Beanstalk retelling called Giants. Moana is supposed to come after that.

EDIT: Ninja'd.
