This week Theme Park Corner will be replaced by One time, a Jim Hawkins walkaround character appeared in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland and it was weird.īut that’s not what I’m really here to talk about. The film’s hybrid throwback aesthetic doesn’t lend itself particularly well to any of the domestic lands anyway - the only place it might fit would be Disneyland Paris’s take on Tomorrowland, which is called Discoveryland and has a steampunky Jules Verne vibe. Is the fully- animated version ever meant to be tempting to young Jim? I should not be watching him and thinking fondly on Dexter Jetster's creature design, either.įlops this big don’t get theme park attractions, or even merch. Long John Silver is so charismatic and arch that he's sinister, so of course you cast Pennywise and Wadsworth from Clue. Especially when these animators created them from scratch.


With this, I'm trying to parse "which of these are the humans?" There are multiple humanoid, flesh-colored four limbed creatures that aren't, but what does that make Long John Silver? Do the dog and cat aliens not have fur?įurther, this movie should not be making me think of how well Muppet Treasure Island did slotting their existing Henson shop designs into the story. When they boys talked about the Aladdin designs being Hirschfield influenced, I went "oh yeah, of course." Because I just associate Genie with being shaped like "a genie" having it be my initial, primary exposure to that kind of art (plus the gag of Moe's bar Hirschfield portraits). More than just the "gross design" aliens, the way they move and the position of the eyes is so unpleasant to look at that I don't want any of them to be the focus of the frame. And I yet believe this movie has the most grotesque animated characters Blank Check has covered to date. I've seen Nausaka's Guardian, boar god and Lord of the Forest from Mononoke, Zeniba/Yubaba, Alfred Molina's Ralph Breaks the Internet character, photoreal Pumba, and multiple Supreme Leader Snokes. Then give Riverdale a chance today and you too can know what looking into the face of pure madness looks like.
