News Round Up 2019

General public probably not but I am sure the studios and those who worked on them do. I am sure Iger likes winning Oscars...

or does he care more about continuing to break Studio Box Office records?

I am sure he can cry himself to sleep on a big pile of money

Do people really care abut it awards though? Honestly has no impact on my take on a film and/or my desire to see it or not

For the people that worked on it sure but otherwise who cares

I bet it gives them a bump in sales/streams from people thinking "hmm, maybe I should watch that."

I care when movies I already like win awards but I wouldn’t see a movie just because it won awards. I’m super happy for Black Panther and Bao!

True, but in terms of actual animation spider verse was in my opinion the best of the ones nominated that I saw.

I wasn't really going to see that but there was an extended clip of it after Venom (which we just watched) and that combined with hearing how good it was made me go put a hold on it at the library. I'm actually excited now to see it lol

I will say that some places put 'collections' out under award winners. I know I've seen it before on the Starz or HBO Go app. I can't say that makes people care about it but it could make you take notice of a film you hadn't thought of before.

I guess - I just see award season full of politics and marketing and actually winning an award pretty meaningless because of that

But my heart is three sizes too small so perhaps just me

That helps too

I watched spiderverse this weekend. It's absolutely amazing from an animation standstand (amazing story too). Well deserving of the award.

Also sad the 5th gate thread got locked. It was pretty fun to read through and discuss.

This. I don’t think the Oscars gives the boost to films that it used to. So many people have tuned this out over the years.

And this! As he should.

You’re not alone!

I would agree the animation was fantastic and while it deserved the win, I wasn't as enamored with the movie as most. It was fun but all the "greatest superhero movie ever" talk was a bit much. I can see the argument for beating "Incredibles 2" which was a gorgeous movie but I don't feel went anywhere particularly new. But as far as superhero movies, I liked Black Panther better.

I do want to see Into the Spiderverse at some point because it does look cool and just so many people who i know are coming at it from different angles have all said such positive things about it ... winning an award has no impact on that though

I am glad for the creators that they got recognized for their work - especially since obviously took some chances with it

I assume that is just for filtering when looking for what resort to pick ... do you know if that will also be an option for preference when checking in? Like when you do online checking at POP will you be able to request “near Skyliner station”?

I just changed my reservation to Pop for December just so we can experience the Skyliner. I have wonderful childhood memories of the sky buckets from MK. I can't wait to experience these again!

I can't be the only one who thinks all the Disney Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary logos are lazy, right?

Here are Magic Kingdom's 45th anniversary logos for a comparison.

4 out of 8 of those are from the Toy Story Franchise. They should have come up with more so they could have a Toy Story set and a "Rest of Pixar" set.
